Fig. 1

Segmental longitudinal strain and myocardial work parameters in HT and control subjects. Graph showed mean and error bars across all groups. a MWI, myocardial work index; b MCW, myocardial constructive work; c MWE, myocardial work efficiency; d LS, longitudinal strain (absolute value); e MWW, myocardial wasted work. ^a P < 0.05 vs control group, ^b P < 0.05 vs NG group, ^c P < 0.05 vs CR group; HT, hypertension; NC, normal control; NG, normal geometry; CR, concentric remodeling; CH, concentric hypertrophy; EH, eccentric hypertrophy; Bas-,basal segments; Mid-, middle segments; Api-, apical segments
