Figure 1

SR derived from 2DSE and Infarct area in histology. A: an example of left ventricular cross section of the normal heart stained by Masson trichrome; B: the maps of the peak systolic radial strain of the same heart; C: an example of left ventricular cross section of the heart with myocardial infarct that shows region with replacement fibrosis in blue; D: corresponding segmental peak systolic radial strain that shows significant reduction in the region of infarction.
