A: In the mathematical model, the positive association between IVSd and E when the value of is low, moderate, and high. B: The positive correlation between and IVSd with different average values of E ( for the 20–45, 45–60, and age groups, respectively). Because circumferential strain = 0, a (internal dimension), pressure, E = f (LVPWd), or E = f (IVSd) was fixed. IVSd = intraventricular septal width in diastole; LVPWd = left ventricular posterior wall width in diastole.
