Global Longitudinal Strain: A practical Step-by-Step Approach to Longitudinal Strain Imaging

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2020
Global longitudinal strain imaging of the left ventricle is a simple bedside modality for objectively assessing the global and regional function of the major pumping chamber of the heart, the left ventricle. Currently available echo machines provide good

Global longitudinal strain: a useful everyday measurement? [PDF]

Echo Research and Practice, 2016
Herceptin (Trastuzumab) is a widely used and effective drug for the treatment of Her2+ breast cancer but its cardiotoxic side effects require regular monitoring by echocardiography.

Global longitudinal strain manually measured from mid-myocardial lengths is a reliable alternative to speckle tracking global longitudinal strain. [PDF]

J Cardiovasc Imaging
Abstract Background Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a useful marker for the echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Presently GLS is derived from speckle tracking of LV images, but speckle tracking software is not always available.

Value of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain Assessed by Two-Dimensional Strain Imaging in Early Detection of Anthracycline Mediated Cardiotoxicity [PDF]

Egyptian Journal of Medical Research, 2022
The goal of this study is to investigate whether alterations of myocardial global longitudinal strain and high‐sensitive cardiac troponin could be detected early in patients receiving anthracycline chemotherapy & if it could predict future cardiac ...

Role of Strain Imaging in Ischemic Heart Disease

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2023
The potential utility of strain imaging as a tool for quantitative assessment of myocardial contractile function has already been demonstrated in many cardiac conditions. Numerous studies have explored its utility in patients with coronary artery disease

Echocardiographic Assessment of Right Ventricular Systolic Function in Postoperative Tetralogy of Fallot Patients with Special Emphasis on Right Ventricular-Global Longitudinal Strain

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2022
Background: Limitations of echocardiography have long been known for the assessment of right ventricular (RV) systolic function in postoperative tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients.

Longitudinal Strain and Sudden Cardiac Death

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2023
Several cardiac conditions are associated with the risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Identification of the individuals at increased risk of these events is essential to facilitate the appropriate measures to prevent ...

Global Longitudinal Strain in Cardio-Oncology: A Review

Cancers, 2023
Several therapies used in cancer treatment are potentially cardiotoxic and may cause left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and heart failure. For decades, echocardiography has been the main modality for cardiac assessment in cancer patients, and the parameter examined in the context of cardiotoxicity was the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Baseline Global Longitudinal Strain Predictive of Anthracycline-Induced Cardiotoxicity [PDF]

Cardio-Oncology, 2020
Abstract Background: Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRD) is a major source of morbidity and mortality in long-term cancer survivors. Decreased GLS predicts decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients receiving anthracyclines, but knowledge regarding the clinical utility of baseline GLS in patients at low-risk ...

Speckle-tracking echocardiography combined with imaging mass spectrometry assesses region-dependent alterations [PDF]

, 2020
Left ventricular (LV) contraction is characterized by shortening and thickening of longitudinal and circumferential fibres. To date, it is poorly understood how LV deformation is altered in the pathogenesis of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes
