Strain results, represented as bull’s eye diagrams, by using a 16-segments model. a: normal volunteer. Local segmental strain (LSS) is homogeneous and normal in all the segments; b: HCM patient without septal reduction. LLS is globally lower than in the normal individual, with even lower values in the anteroseptal and inferior segments; c: HCM patient post septal reduction, having an inner layer scar visible on 2D and 3D echo. Anteroseptal segments have local strain values of > − 10%; d: HCM patient with transmural scar: anteroseptal segments have LSS values> − 5%
