Figure 3 Regional strain parameters at baseline and during ischemia. Systolic strain ( sys) (left panel) was significantly reduced and even inverted (reflecting bulging), while postsystolic strain ( ps) (right panel) significantly increased in the ischemic (solid square) but not in normally perfused segments (open circle). Some overlap between normal and ischemic sys and ps values was observed.
