Fig. 4From: Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in goats: repeatability, variability, and validation of the technique using an exercise test and an experimentally induced acute ischemic cardiomyopathyAverage systolic peak values of 2DST measurements of left ventricle at the papillary muscles level in goats at baseline (10 goats), immediately after exercise (7 goats) and 24 h after an experimentally-induced myocardial infarction (5 goats). * results significantly different between measurements obtained at rest and immediately after exercise in 7 goats and between measurements obtained before and after myocardial infarction in 5 goats (two-way ANOVA; p < 0.05 considered significant). 2DST: two-dimensional speckle tracking; Dr.: radial displacement; RotR: rotation rate; Sc: circumferential strain; Sr: radial strain; SRc: circumferential strain rate; SRr: radial strain rateBack to article page
