LV myocardial contraction and relaxation were first impaired in the longitudinal direction among the 3 directions in subclinical patients with cardiovascular risk factors. However, LV pump function and LV filling were compensated by circumferential shortening at ventricular systole and 3 directional lengthenings at atrial systole, respectively.
