Comparison of strain parameters: healthy control group vs. dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) group. Box-whisker-plots for the comparison of different strain parameters including LV torsion between the healthy control and DCM group. a global longitudinal strain (GLS), b global circumferential strain (GCS), c global radial strain, (GRS) d LV torsion; * p < 0.001
