The time courses of the global strain rates (longitudinal, circumferential, and radial) are on the left and the global velocities (longitudinal, circumferential, and radial) are on the right, for Case 6 (solid lines) and Case 8 (dotted lines). In each plot, the first vertical line (at 0.17 s) indicates ED and the second line (at 0.5 s) ES. Case 6: hypertrophic geometry (17 mm); Case 8: hypertrophic geometry (17 mm), decreased active force
