Figure 3

Example of longitudinal strain graph (Doppler derived). Longitudinal strain derived from tissue Doppler data in the interventricular septum in a healthy person. Y-axis represents strain (%), X-axis represents time (one cardiac cycle). Blue lines represent cardiac events: (MVC) mitral valve closure and (MVO) opening, and (AVC) aortic valve opening and (AVC) closure.
