Figure 3 Contractile function in patients with MI in the infarct-related and remote myocardium, as quantified by WTh analysis and strain analysis. Strain analysis revealed significant differences in contractile function between infarct-related and remote myocardium, whereas WTh did not. {epsilon}r = radial stretch; MI = myocardial infarction; WTh = wall thickening.
