Hemodynamic forces analysis. A From CMR dataset, a slice is selected for analysis; B Tracing of the LV endocardial border; C Strain analysis curves and “bull’s eye” display of myocardial segmental strain. D HDFs parameters are represented. Panel D1 shows the Apical-to-Base (red line) and Lateral-to-Septal (blue line) HDFs. Panel D2 shows the polar histogram depicting the distribution and magnitude of LV HDFs (red triangles). In normal subjects, the main HDFs occur in the Apical-to-Base direction
