Chapter two. Level and Layer Specific Left Ventricular Longitudinal Strain
Figure 2. Longitudinal strain per level: apex, mid and basal. Left ventricular longitudinal strain at the basal (orange), mid-ventricular (green) and apical (purple) levels are calculated as the average of the regional values.
Figure 3. Layer-specific longitudinal strain analysis. The bull-eye’s plots for the endocardium, mid-myocardium and epicardium are displayed and the global value of longitudinal strain at each layer is calculated as the average of the 17 regional strain values per layer.
