Figure 2From: Assessment of diastolic efficiency of blood transit through normal and dysfunctional left ventriclesTotal change in kinetic energy throughout disastole for direct flow and retained inflow normalized by the volume of each component (mean ± SD) in the six health subjects and seven patients with dilated cardiomyopath (DCM). *P < 0.01 compared to retained inflow in health subjects, and **P < compared to retained inflow in DCM.Back to article page
