Figure 2. — Regional strain imaging in AN patients with purging behavior. Comparison of regional LV regional longitudinal strain between pediatric control values (black diamond), anorexia nervosa (AN) patients who do not exhibit purging behavior (grey circle), and AN patients who have purging behavior (white square). *In adolescents newly diagnosed AN and have purging behavior, the apical strain (white squares) are significantly lower (P = .001) than those AN patients who did not have a purging behavior (gray circles), altering the physiological apex-to-base gradient.
