Cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking for characterization of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: correlation of global longitudinal strain with invasive diastolic functional indices

Abstract Background Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is the main cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and is characterized by LV stiffness and relaxation. Abnormal LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) is frequently observed l in HFpEF, and was shown to be useful...
