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

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

Backgrounds The presence of impaired global longitudinal strain (GLS) may be a valuable bio-marker in the early diagnosis for left ventricle (LV) impairment, which would help scrutinize asymptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) patients with high risk of adverse

Background Speckle tracking echocardiographic global longitudinal strain (GLS) predicts outcome in patients with new onset heart failure. Still, its incremental value on top of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with nonischemic ...

Assessment of Myocardial Mechanics in Acute Rheumatic Fever Using Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography
Background: This study aims to evaluate the role of speckle-tracking echocardiography to identify myocardial deformation in acute rheumatic fever. Methods: Twenty-seven patients and 27 healthy children were prospectively evaluated. The patient group was

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

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