Correlation between T2* and (A) left ventricle (LV) ejection fraction (EF), (B) LV global longitudinal strain (GLS), (C) LV global circumferential strain (GCS), (D) LV global radial strain (GRS), (E) basal to apical LV GCS ratio, (F) basal to apical LV GRS ratio. Significant correlation was revealed between T2* and LV GCS (r = 0.361, P = 0.012) and LV GRS (r = –0.323, P = 0.025). However, no significant correlation was found between T2* and other parameters
