Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain (LV GLS) assessed by Echocardiography predicts myocardial fibrosis and iron overload in transfusion dependent beta-thalassemia patients

European Heart Journal, 2023
Abstract Background Cardiac involvement represents the leading cause of death in transfusion dependent beta-thalassemia (TDT) patients. It is mainly related to cardiac iron overload and myocardial fibrosis, causing progressive damage and a deterioration of systolic and diastolic function.

CORRELATION OF MITRAL ANNULAR PLANE SYSTOLIC EXCURSION (MAPSE) WITH LEFT VENTRICULAR GLOBAL LONGITUDINAL STRAIN (GLS) IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS SURGERY

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2021
Introduction Introduction:Global longitudinal strain (GLS) of left ventricle (LV) has an incremental value over conventional parameters like ejection fraction for risk stratification in patients referred for cardiac surgery [1]. Mitral annular plane systolic excursion is a simple parameter obtained by M mode, is also an sensitive marker of LV function

A reduction of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) assessed with speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) predicts myocardial fibrosis in transfusion dependent beta-thalassemia

European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2023
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Cardiac involvement is common and the leading cause of death in transfusion dependent beta-thalassemia (TDT) patients.

Predictive value of global longitudinal strain (GLS) in breast cancer patients undergoing trastuzumab-based chemotherapy

European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging
Abstract Background Cardiotoxicity remains a significant concern in breast cancer patients receiving trastuzumab. Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a sensitive tool for detecting subclinical myocardial dysfunction before changes in ejection fraction (EF) become evident.

Abstract 13796: Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) Predicts Progression to Severe Aortic Stenosis (AS) in Patients With Normal or Minimally Dysfunctional Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV)

Circulation, 2015
Background: While prior research has documented the rate of progression of BAV to severe AS, myocardial function factors have received less attention. We hypothesized that reduced GLS might conceivably identify a high risk subset of BAV patients, as it has in other instances of severe valvular heart disease, such as chronic ...

Associations between global longitudinal strain (GLS), N-terminal-prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and subsequent cardiomyopathy (CM) in a clinically assessed cohort of childhood cancer survivors exposed to cardiotoxic therapy.

Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2022
10052 Background: Among survivors exposed to anthracycline or chest radiation (RT) who have an ejection fraction (EF) of ≥50%, the utility of GLS and NT-proBNP to identify survivors who are at highest risk for future CM is unknown. Methods: Survivors participating in the St.

Cardiac remodeling and Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain (LV-GLS) in CKD: do advanced stages impair myocardial function?

European Heart Journal
Abstract Background Global longitudinal strain (GLS) by 2D speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) has been widely utilized to detect early underlying systolic myocardial dysfunction in patients with normal ejection fraction (EF).
