Figure 1

Panel A and B show attenuated global longitudinal endocardial strain in two patients with anterior wall myocardial infarction. Note the minimal improvement in longitudinal strain in the first patient (panel C) which has accompanied no improvement in LVEF. In contrast, panel D shows marked improvement in longitudinal strain on follow up in the second patient which is accompanied by significant improvement in LVEF.
