Comparison of LV circumferential (a) and radial (b) strain between segments of remote myocardium and segments containing fibrosis only or fibrosis and fat tissue. The EccLV and ErrLV values were significantly higher in segments of remote myocardium than in segments containing fibrosis only or fibrosis and fat. There was no significant difference in strain parameters between segments containing fibrosis only and fibrosis and fat. LV left ventricular, Ecc LV left ventricular circumferential strain, Err LV left ventricular radial strain. Dotted lines correspond normal values of myocardial strain measurements derived using CMR feature tracking [36]
