The left ventricle was divided in 3 regions: septum, adjacent (anterior-inferior walls), and lateral. Regional midwall circumferential strain, maximum shortening, and strain rate were obtained from tagged cardiac magnetic resonance. The systolic stretch index was calculated as positive strain rate (stretching) divided by total strain rate. Myocardial metabolic rate of glucose and resting and hyperemic myocardial blood flow were quantified by 2-[\n              <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>\n              F]fluoro-2-deoxyglucose and [\n              <jats:sup>13<\/jats:sup>\n              N]ammonia positron emission tomography, respectively. Compared with non-LBBB patients, LBBB patients showed a highly inhomogeneous systolic deformation pattern that changed gradually, moving from a discoordinate [(systolic stretch index, 0.485 (0.284)] and poorly contracting (maximum shortening, \u22121.14\u00b10.96%) septum to a coordinate [systolic stretch index, 0.002 (0.168)] and strongly contracting (maximum shortening, \u221213.63\u00b12.58%) lateral region (both\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.0001). This pattern was closely matched to the myocardial metabolic rate of glucose, disclosing lowest, intermediate, and highest values in the septum, adjacent, and lateral regions, respectively (\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.0001). Septal-to-lateral thickness ratio was lower in LBBB than in non-LBBB patients (\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.03).
