From: Protective effect of the Impella on the left ventricular function after acute broad anterior wall ST elevation myocardial infarctions with cardiogenic shock: cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging strain analysis

Fig. 2

Representative CMRI strains and SR images in the Impella and non-Impella cases. CMRI strains: global longitudinal, radial, and circumferential peak strains (GLS, GRS, and GCS); SR images: longitudinal, radial, and circumferential systolic and diastolic SRs. Note that the magnitudes of the GRS and GCS and radial and circumferential diastolic SRs are higher in the Impella group than non-Impella group, but higher values of those parameters are not observed for the longitudinal axis.
