This study generated a database of seven STE-derived parameters of physiological segmental and global myocardial LV mechanics. The resulting sets of three-dimensional intraventricular mappings of the entire LV provide physiological parameter gradients in baso-apical and circumferential direction by applying the 17-segment polar model. This will facilitate comparison of systolic myocardial activity of the healthy LV with diseased or otherwise altered (eg, sports) hearts.
