Fig. 3

Shows the individual data on global longitudinal left ventricular strain as assessed by speckle tracking echocardiography in healthy controls and in patients with trauma (n = 23) or sepsis (n = 34) and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. The dashed line denotes the cut-off value for normal/abnormal left ventricular longitudinal strain as used in the present study (−15 %)
