Fig. 4From: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in pulmonary hypertension predicts functional capacity and clinical worsening: a tissue phase mapping studyGraphs demonstrating segmental variation in health (dotted line) and PH (--- line) in a Erad time to peak, b Elong magnitude. a There is a trend for an earlier Erad time to peak for the anterior segment in PH. There is no regional heterogeneity in Erad time to peak in health. b The anterior and lateral walls had higher Elong peak velocities than the inferior wall and septum in health. Regional variation in the magnitude of Elong velocities is less distinct in PH, with only the lateral segment having a tendency, albeit not statistically significant, for higher Elong velocitiesBack to article page
