Figure 2

Segmental comparison of basal left ventricular segments between carriers and controls. Data are presented as mean ± standard error of the mean as indicated by the solid bars (carriers) and open bars (controls). A. EDWT was higher in the septal and inferior segments in carriers compared to controls. Also the asymmetric, predominantly septal distribution of increased wall thickness was observed in the carriers. B. Wall thickening was lower in the septum in carriers compared to controls. C. In controls, peak SCS was higher in the lateral wall compared to the septum, but this difference was less overt in carriers. As a result, peak SCS was significantly larger in the lateral segments of controls compared to carriers. D. Peak diastolic circumferential strain rate is reduced in almost every segment in carriers compared to controls. Again, the heterogeneity in peak DCSR found in controls was less profound in carriers. IS = inferoseptal, AS = anteroseptal, AN = anterior, AL = anterolateral, IL = inferolateral, IN = inferior, EDWT = end diastolic wall thickness, peak DCSR = peak diastolic circumferential strain rate, peak SCS = peak systolic circumferential strain. * = p < 0.05, = p < 0.01, = p < 0.001
