Figure 3 Description of Quantitative Vortex Pulsatility Parameters

The relative strength represents strength of the pulsatile component of vorticity with respect to the average vorticity in the whole left ventricle (A, white circled area). The vortex relative strength represents the strength of the pulsatile vorticity of vortex (B, white circled area).
