Fig 3. Regional longitudinal deformation and culprit lesion.

Fig 3

Patients stratified according to the location of their culprit lesion in the left anterior descending (LAD), the right coronary artery (RCA) or the left circumflex coronary artery (LCx). Fig 3A: The mean value of the TDI parameters at all six myocardial walls for patients stratified according to the location of their culprit lesion. Fig 3B: The mean value of the 2DSE parameters at all six myocardial walls for patients stratified according to the location of their culprit lesion. Fig 3C: The typical distribution of coronary artery blood supply to the 6 myocardial walls is displayed[15]. * indicates a p-value < 0.05 (Bonferroni corrected) when comparing LAD lesions with RCA lesions. † indicates a p-value < 0.05 (Bonferroni corrected) when comparing LAD lesions with Cx lesions. ‡ indicates a p-value < 0.05 (Bonferroni corrected) when comparing RCA lesions with Cx lesions. Values represent mean (±SD). LAD = Left Anterior Descending coronary artery, RCA = Right coronary artery, LCx = Left Circumflex coronary artery, s’ = peak systolic longitudinal mitral annular velocity determined by color Tissue Doppler Imaging, LD = Mitral annular longitudinal displacement determined by color TDI, SRs = Peak longitudinal systolic strain rate, ANT = Anterior, LAT = Lateral, POST = Posterior, INF = Inferior, SEPT = Septal, ANT SEPT = Anterior septal.
