Fig. 2

Cardiac cine images and three-dimensional pseudo-colour images of LV longitudinal strain in T2DM patients with mild, moderate and severe regurgitation. ac T2DM patient with severe aortic regurgitation, male, 59 years old, left ventricular short axis (a), four-chamber (b), two-chamber (c), RF = 68.3%; fh, T2DM with moderate aortic regurgitation, female, 52 years old, left ventricular short axis (f), four-chamber (g), two-chamber (h) cine sequence images showed moderate aortic regurgitation (red arrow), RF = 43.6%; k-m, T2DM patient with mild aortic regurgitation, male, 58 years old, left ventricular short axis (k), four-chamber (l), two-chamber (m), RF = 12.5%. d, i, n and e, j, o were three-dimensional pseudo color maps of left ventricular PS and PSSR in longitudinal. Cine sequence images showed black regurgitation signal from aorta into left ventricle (red arrow).
