Figure 2 Assessment of LV Dyssynchrony From 2-Dimensional Radial Strain Using Speckle Tracking

In the left panel, the 2-dimensional strain images are represented. The right panel shows the segmental time-strain curves for each region (the colors of the curves correspond to the colors of the regions on the short-axis slice in the left panel). Time differences in peak systolic strain (t) between anteroseptal (AS) and posterior (P) segments are measured and indicate the maximum dyssynchrony. Data from Delgado et al. (6).
