Figure 2 Echocardiographic strain images from the four-chamber view and two-chamber view, with corresponding time-strain plots from sites adjacent to papillary muscles before and after cardiac resynchronization therapy. Baseline plots demonstrate late peak strain occurring in the anterolateral papillary muscle site compared with the posteromedial papillary muscle site. Peak strain is aligned after cardiac resynchronization therapy in these sites.
