Suggested strain values; A: peak systolic strain (reservoir function), B: peak early diastolic strain (conduit function), C: peak late diastolic strain, D: peak negative diastolic strain, E: time to peak systolic strain, F: early peak systolic strain rate, G: late peak systolic strain rate, H: total systolic strain rate, I: peak negative early diastolic strain rate, and J: peak positive late diastolic strain rate.
