Fig. 4From: Uniqueness of local myocardial strain patterns with respect to activation time and contractility of the failing heart: a computational studyParameter space (top) and strain pattern (bottom) representations of cohorts (yellow) generated by five (1–5) selected parent strain patterns (orange) for the global HF pathology. The cohorts were generated using a threshold of 0.02. Cohorts 1 and 4 have a small overlap region in the parameter space. Each cohort has a different shape and size. In the strain pattern representation, all 1025 simulated strain patterns from the HF pathology are shown as a light coloured background. The shapes of all cohorts in the parameter space are shown for all global pathologies in Additional files 1, 2, 3, 4Back to article page
