Figure 4.

Radial strain and circumferential strain. (a)–(f) Radial strain anterior and inferior segments. (a)-(b) Radial strain apex, inferior and anterior segments per group. Strain in the anterior section of the LAD study is significantly lower during follow-up than at baseline. (c)-(d) Radial strain mid-ventricular level, inferior and anterior segments per group. (e)-(f) Radial strain basal level, inferior and anterior segments per group. (g)–(j) Circumferential strain. (g) Apical circumferential strain over time. (h) Circular strain at mid-ventricular level over time. (i) Circumferential strain at basal level over time. (j) Total ventricular circumferential strain over time. LCx indicates left circumflex artery. LAD: left anterior descending artery; BL: baseline. ^* P < 0.05 within the LAD group.
