Myocardial tissue tracking imaging techniques have been developed for a more accurate
evaluation of myocardial deformation (ie strain), with the potential to overcome the …

Background Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is an established method for evaluation
of left ventricular (LV) systolic function. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) by speckle tracking …

Echocardiography remains the predominant modality for cardiac imaging. Recent
technological advances have led to the availability of new echocardiographic techniques for …

Background Despite evidence of its usefulness, measurement of global longitudinal strain
(GLS) has not been widely accepted as a clinical routine, because it requires proficiency …

Elsevier hereby grants permission to make all its COVID-19-related research that is
available on the COVID-19 resource centre-including this research content-immediately …

Background The new criteria of Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy Consortium (CCC) propose the
use of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV‐GLS) for evaluation of systolic function in …

The high respiratory and cardiac drive is essential to the host-organ unregulated response.
When a primary disease and an unregulated secondary response are uncontrolled, the …

Aims Impaired standardization of echocardiograms may increase inter-operator variability.
This study aimed to determine whether the real-time guidance of experienced sonographers …

The aim of this study was to investigate if there was an association between infarct size (IS)
measured by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and echocardiographic global longitudinal …

This article reviews the definition of left ventricular strain, outlines the types of strain and
reviews how strain is acquired and measured. In addition, the advantages of strain analysis …
