Figure 7 Effect of change in position of the ultrasound probe on velocity, displacement, and strain measurements. Dislocating the position of the echocardiographic probe medially aiming a deviation of the ultrasound insonation angle by approximately 30° had different impacts on the angle between the ultrasonic beams and the ventricular wall in the various segments. Values are given in percentage relative to measurements from apical position.
