Example of a STE analysis. Patient with CD and normal LVEF. Analyzes of strain (a) and strain rate (b) in a patient with CD and preserved LVEF, apical four-chamber view. Ventricular myocardium is divided in six color-coded segments and strain/strain rate curves are displayed. Also, small boxes display color m-mode. Note a lack of deformation (worse values; yellow arrows) at the base and mid-segment of lateral wall (red and blue curves, respectively), classically affected by CD
