Table 2 Transmural global strain for patients with LGE more than 50 % and control patients is presented as mean value ± standard deviation, together with its p-value
From: Clinical experience of strain imaging using DENSE for detecting infarcted cardiac segments
Strain direction | LGE > 50 % | Control | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
(N = 57) | (n = 34) | (n = 23) | |
Radial transmural strain (SA) | 12 ± 6 | 14 ± 6 | 0.12 |
Radial transmural strain (LA) | 10 ± 6 | 11 ± 7 | 0.65 |
Circumferential transmural strain | −12 ± 4 | −17 ± 5 | <0.001 |
Longitudinal transmural strain | −10 ± 2 | −13 ± 2 | <0.001 |
