Cardiac deformation imaging using tagged CMR in asymptomatic individuals. Impaired Ecc is associated with lower myocardial perfusion and blood flow a Impaired LV circumferential shortening (Ecc) provides predictive value for incident heart failure during 5.5 years follow-up b LV torsion, however, is greater with older age despite lower stroke volume and myocardial shortening c. LV wringing motion might represents a compensatory mechanism for systolic dysfunction to maintain LVEF. Figures prepared based on date from Rosen et al. [38], Choi et al. [45], and Yoneyama et al. [6]. LAD = left anterior descending artery; LCx = left circumflex artery; RCA = right coronary artery. Abbreviations as in Fig. 1
