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.

Determinants of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in a Ghanaian Cohort. [PDF]

Cureus
Background Cardiovascular disease, particularly heart failure, poses a significant global health burden, especially in low- to middle-income regions like Africa, where resources are limited. Heart failure is often related to various risk factors. Modern imaging techniques, like speckle-tracking echocardiography, enhance the detection of subclinical ...

Global longitudinal strain as a predictor of outcomes in chronic Chagas´ cardiomyopathy. [PDF]

PLoS Negl Trop Dis
Introduction Chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC) is associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular events. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is useful in predicting adverse cardiovascular outcomes in several cardiomyopathies. However, its prognostic value in CCC is not well established.

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

Global Longitudinal Strain as Predictor of Chemotherapy-Induced Cardiotoxicity [PDF]

ABC Imagem Cardiovascular, 2021
Background: Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity (ChC) is an important complication among patients receiving anthracyclines. Biomarkers and imaging parameters have been studied for their ability to identify patients at risk of developing ChC. Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) is a sensitive parameter for detecting systolic dysfunction

Global Longitudinal Strain in Wellens’ Syndrome

Journal of Cardiovascular Echography, 2022
We present the case of a young man with “noncardiac” chest pain, subsequently diagnosed as Wellens’ syndrome. We report the early changes in left ventricular global longitudinal strain imaging findings in these patients despite preserved ejection fraction, and review the features associated with this stereotypical cardiac ...

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.
