Figure 2From: Left ventricular torsion shear angle volume analysis in patients with hypertension: a global approach for LV diastolic functionVolume-time curves (A), torsion shear angle-time curves (B) and torsion shear angle-volume φ ^ V ^ curves (C) for the HTN and control groups. Data are mean ± SE. Early filling rate is significantly decreased in HTN with a higher peak systolic torsion shear angle compared with controls. HTN φ ^ V ^ curve slightly shifts to the left of the control φ ^ V ^ curve with a steeper early diastolic arm (indicated by blue arrow vs. green arrow) vs. controls.Back to article page
