Regional Strain, Torsion, and Synchrony in the RV. The outflow region of the RV demonstrated lower Ecc compared to all remaining segments and global Ecc was comparable between the LV and RV (A). Ell varied considerably around the circumference of the RV (14 - 22%) with global Ell being higher in the RV relative to the LV (B). RV torsion values were similar to those observed in the LV (C) and activation times varied throughout the RV with the RV contracting after the LV and the lateral wall of the RV contracting last (D).
