Regional Strain: Diffused vs. focal abnormalities. Anatomical (top) and regional (bottom) circumferential end-systolic strain (ESS) for healthy and MI subjects. (A) Healthy strain is homogenously distributed. (B) MI subject shows diffused strain reduction with an MI in the anteroseptal region. (C) Different MI subject shows a focal decrease in the anteroseptal region co-localized with the infarcted region (red arrows). MI, myocardial infarction.
