From: Peak longitudinal strain most accurately reflects myocardial segmental viability following acute myocardial infarction - an experimental study in open-chest pigs

Figure 2

Representative strain curves following MI derived from circumferential strain (top) and longitudinal strain analysis (bottom). The infarcted apical anteroseptum exhibits biphasic strain curves (black) following circumferential and longitudinal strain analysis. In contrast to peak circumferential strain, peak longitudinal strain is a positive strain value. AVC = Aortic valve closure.
