Predictive value of global longitudinal strain in a surgical population of organic mitral regurgitation
S Mascle, F Schnell, C Thebault, H Corbineau… - Journal of the American …, 2012 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Because of the lack of reliable echocardiographic parameters to predict
recovery after surgery, the optimal timing of surgery for severe mitral regurgitation remains
controversial. The aim of this study was to determine whether global longitudinal strain
(GLS) recorded preoperatively could help in predicting left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction
(LVEF) postoperatively. METHODS: A total of 88 patients (mean age, 63±13 years; 59 men)
with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation were included prospectively in this study. Rest …
