Fig. 2From: Effect of pericardial incision on left ventricular morphology and systolic function in patients during coronary artery bypass graftingMeasurement of longitudinal strain in ME 4C, ME 2C, and ME LAX view before (a) and after (b) pericardial incision in a case with ischemic cardiomyopathy. This patient had three vessel coronary artery lesions with chronic total occlusion in left circumflex artery. ME 4C, mid-esophageal 4-chamber; ME 2C, mid-esophageal 2-chamber; ME LAX, mid-esophageal long-axis; LV, left ventricular; GLS, global longitudinal strainBack to article page
