In-plane velocity streamlines in two case examples from the study demonstrating higher in-plane (xy-axis) flow during diastasis in a patient with myocardial infarction and worse EF (Panel b) versus an MI patient with a smaller infarct and preserved LVEF (Panel a). The in-plane KE was computed as the sum of all KE in the x-y direction, in the short-axis left ventricle from base to apex. It is represented as a percentage of the total LV KE. KE = kinetic energy and EF = ejection fraction
