Scatter plots for correlations between LV strain and tissue mitral annular displacement and diastolic function. a) The anterolateral TMAD at apical 4-chamber correlated inversely with E/E’ (r=−0.37, P=0.03); b) anterior TMAD at apical 2-chamber correlated negatively with E/E’ (r=−0.38, P=0.03); c) midpoint TMAD at apical 2-chamber correlated inversely with E/E’ (r=−0.38, P=0.03); d) mid-anterior segmental strain correlated positively with E/E’ (r=0.36, P=0.04). TMAD-2=anterolateral TMAD at apical 4-chamber window, TMAD 1-AP-2=anterior TMAD at apical 2-chamber window, TMAD-M-Ap-2=midpoint TMAD at apical 2-chamber window, MA=mid-anterior segmental strain, E/E’=ratio of early trans-mitral inflow velocity to early lateral mitral annular tissue velocity.
