Figure 8. Systolic and diastolic sheet angles with and without strain correction.

Sheet angle maps in systole (left column) and diastole (right column) without and with strain correction (a). Sheet angle histograms are given at the basal, medial and apical levels (b). The error bars indicate one standard deviation across the study population. Statistically significant differences between the uncorrected (blue) and the corrected cases (red) are indicated by * and between systole and diastole by †.
