Illustration of strain imaging as a surrogate for cardiac systolic function. This “Bull’s eye” diagram of the myocardium shows (A) normal strain imaging (global longitudinal strain of −21%) and (B) abnormal strain imaging (global longitudinal strain of −14%). Diminished strain in patients with end stage liver disease in the absence of known heart disease is diagnostic of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy.
