Obesity reduces left ventricular strains, torsion, and synchrony in mouse models: a cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance study

Table 3 The left ventricular mass to end-diastolic volume ratio correlates with average circumferential and radial strain in the control and obese mice

	R	p value
Average circumferential strain	0.81	0.005
Average radial strain	−0.68	0.03
Average longitudinal strain	0.47	0.17

Correlations are reported for all 10 mice (5 on a low-fat diet and 5 on a high-fat diet).
