Fig. 1From: Apical but not basal RV strain reflects right ventricular dysfunction in patients with dilated cardiomyopathyA & B: RV-GLS in a dilated cardiomyopathy patient (A), and in a normal subject (B). Six strain curves are shown in each case representing basal, mid and apical segments of both RV free wall and interventricular septum. The value of right ventricular global longitudinal strain was 15.9% in the dilated cardiomyopathy patient and 24% in the normal subjectBack to article page
