From: Ventricular coupling in single ventricle patients: a MRI study of cardiac biomechanics
Bar plots showing the longitudinal (ε L ) and circumferntial (ε CC ) strain in a pediatric single venricle population. We demonstrate a significant reduction in both εCC and εL. The septum is the most affected with negligible differences observed in free wall. Also, there is a signficant difference observed from apex to base globally for both single systemic ventricle patients, while the free wall εL shows a significant increase.
