Radial and circumferential strain curves before (a) and after (b) cardiac cycle phase shift. End diastolic phase is highlighted in green while end systolic phase is highlighted in green for both panels. Panel a illustrates an erroneous positive circumferential strain and negative radial thickening for falsely triggered images and Panel b illustrates the consistency of strain measures when the cardiac cycle phases were shifted to start at end-diastolic phase.
