Figure 4 Distribution of time intervals for reaching 10%, 20%, 40%, and 80% of peak longitudinal and circumferential shortening in left ventricular subendocardium (A and B) and subepicardium (C and D). Data are shown as mean ± SD. A = apex; B = base; M = mid. *Apex versus base (p = 0.004, 0.01, 0.02, and 0.06, respectively for 10% to 80% shortening time intervals in panel A; and 0.002, 0.0001, 0.001, and 0.005, respectively, for 10% to 80% shortening time intervals in panel C);  mid versus base (p = 0.008, 0.02, 0.01, and 0.005, respectively, for 10% to 80% shortening time intervals in panel A; and 0.006, 0.0004, and 0.0004, respectively, for 10% to 40% shortening time intervals in panel C);  apex versus mid (p < 0.0001 for 80% shortening time interval in panel C).
