Post-systolic motion in left ventricular long-axis and short-axis recordings. Prevalence of post-systolic motion (PSM) in awake and anesthetized goats. Post-systolic motion was diagnosed where peak strain occurred after aortic valve closure. A: PSM based on timing of longitudinal peak strain (tεL), B: PSM based on timing of circumferential peak strain (tεC) at the apical short-axis level (SAX-AP), C: PSM based on timing of radial peak strain (tεR) at the apical short-axis level (SAX-AP), D: PSM based on tεC at the papillary muscle short-axis level (SAX-PM), E: PSM based on tεR at the papillary muscle short-axis level (SAX-PM), F: PSM based on tεC at the chordal short-axis level (SAX-CH), G: PSM based on tεR at the chordal short-axis level (SAX-CH).
