From: Left ventricular strain and strain rate by 2D speckle tracking in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension before and after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy

Figure 2

Left ventricular global circumferential strain (top left, dotted) and strain rate (top right, dotted) as well as radial strain (bottom left) and strain rate (bottom right) are displayed from a patient with CTEPH. The septal and posterior walls are outlined in red and purple respectively. The posterior wall radial strain is displayed post-PTE demonstrating the relative the hypokinesis of the septal segment (red).
