<p>1. Excel files:</p>
<ul>
<li>ED_ES_Strain_injectate.xlsx: End systolic/diastolic maximum and minimum principal strain for injectate</li>
<li>ED_ES_Strain_myocardium.xlsx: End systolic/diastolic myofibre and cross-fibre strain in the myocardium</li>
</ul>
<p>2. Word document: ED_ES_Strain_statistical data.docx</p>
<ul>
<li>End systolic and end diastolic descriptive statistics values in the myocarduim and the injectate region for Einj = 4.1 to 405900 kPa</li>
