A Apical, midventricular and basal short axis (SA) views of the left ventricle in a representative patient with normal biventricular function.

On the left, enddiastolicly (ED) and endsystolicly (ES) tracked endo- and epicardial borders are being displayed in apical, midventricular and basal short axis views of a representative patient with normal biventricular function. On the right respective rotation and torsion is being plotted over a single cardiac cycle.

B Apical, midventricular and basal short axis (SA) views of the left ventricle in a representative TTS patient with apical ballooning.

On the left, enddiastolicly (ED) and endsystolicly (ES) tracked endo- and epicardial borders are being displayed in apical, midventricular and basal short axis views of a representative patient with apical ballooning Takotsubo syndrome. On the right respective rotation and torsion is being plotted over a single cardiac cycle.
