Sex differences in left ventricular mechanics in response to acute physiological stress
Left ventricular (LV) mechanics, including rotation, twist and strain, specifically describe the patterns of myocardial deformation across the cardiac cycle. The twisting motion of the ventricle results from the contraction of helically oriented LV myofibres, and contributes to efficient systolic an...
