  1. Measurements of biventricular regional strain were assessed by cvi42. Data are presented as means ± standard deviation. P value is for Student’s t-test between genders. One-way analysis of variance is used to test the differences between basal, mid-cavity, and apical biventricular strain measurements
  2. LV, left ventricular; RV, right ventricular
  3. *P < 0.01 vs. basal level. †P < 0.01 vs. mid-cavity level
