Global longitudinal strain: an early marker for cardiotoxicity in patients treated for breast cancer

Netherlands Heart Journal, 2022
Abstract Background Patients treated with anthracyclines and trastuzumab are at increased risk of developing heart failure. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent irreversible left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. This study investigates whether subclinical deterioration of global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a more ...

Effect of adrenalectomy on remission of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in patients with pheochromocytoma: a speckle-tracking echocardiography study

Endocrine Connections, 2021
Background: Pheochromocytomas (PHEO) are tumours with the ability to produce, metabolize and secrete catecholamines. Catecholamines overproduction leads to the decrease of longitudinal function of the left ventricle (LV) measured by speckle-tracking ...

Reference Ranges of Left Ventricular Strain Measures by Two-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Establishment of the range of reference values and associated variations of two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2DSTE)-derived left ventricular (LV) strain is a prerequisite for its routine clinical adoption in pediatrics ...

Regional and Global Left Ventricular Function Following a Simulated 5 km Race in Sports-Trained Adolescents [PDF]

, 2014
The effects of a short, high-intensity bout of exercise on cardiac systolic and diastolic function are not well understood in adolescent athletes. Consequently, the aims of the study were to evaluate global left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic ...

A global longitudinal strain cut‐off value to predict adverse outcomes in individuals with a normal ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, 2021
Aims Global longitudinal strain (GLS) has become an alternative to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to determine systolic function of the heart. The absence of cut‐off values is one of the limitations preventing full clinical implementation. The

Speckle tracking echocardiography in acute lupus myocarditis: comparison to conventional echocardiography

Echo Research and Practice, 2017
Aims: Lupus myocarditis occurs in 5–10% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). No single feature is diagnostic of lupus myocarditis. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) can detect subclinical left ventricular dysfunction in SLE patients,

The role of left ventricular deformation in the assessment of microvascular obstruction and intramyocardial haemorrhage [PDF]

, 2016
In the setting of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), it remains unclear which strain parameter most strongly correlates with microvascular obstruction (MVO) or intramyocardial haemorrhage (IMH).

Characteristics and prognostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance strain analysis in patients with different phenotypes of heart failure

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundStrain analysis of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is important for the prognosis of heart failure (HF). Herein, we aimed to identify the characteristics and prognostic value of strain analysis revealed by CMR in different HF ...

Longitudinal Displacement for Left Ventricular Function Assessment

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Background: Quantitative evaluation of myocardial function traditionally relies on parameters such as ejection fraction and strain. Strain, reflecting the relative change in the length of a myocardial segment over the cardiac cycle, has been extensively ...

Changes in left atrial deformation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Evaluation by vector velocity imaging. [PDF]

, 2012
OBJECTIVES: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) represents a generalized myopathic process affecting both ventricular and atrial myocardium. We assessed the global and regional left atrial (LA) function and its relation to left ventricular (LV) mechanics ...
