Right parasternal long axis four chamber image of the left ventricle. The image is optimized to keep the mitral annulus visible throughout the cardiac cycle. The region of interest is automatically divided into six segments (basSept, midSept, apSept for the interventricular septum; basLat, midLat, apLat for the left ventricular free wall). The segmental traces for longitudinal strain are displayed
