Popis: Phase space reconstruction, which is performed by converting echocardiogram-derived strain data from different ventricular regions into phase space trajectories, is applied in this study to describe nonlinear behaviour of myocardial coordination. A new method was developed to quantify patterns of phase space trajectories. Echocardiograms of 31 healthy individuals and 63 patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and different left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEFs) were used to evaluate this method. The LBBB patients were separated into two groups: LBBB with a LVEF≥50% and LBBB with a LVEF
