Figure 1 Representative strain rate (upper) and circumferential shortening strain (lower) curves from one participant. This example is showing a typical strain rate pattern with a marked E-wave in early diastole and a less pronounced A-wave close to end diastole. ECC = shortening circumferential strain; ERE = E-wave from diastolic strain rate; SRA = A-wave from diastolic strain rate; SRS = peak systolic strain rate.
