Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of left ventricular systolic function indices and structure in detecting early systolic dysfunction assessed by speckle-tracking two-dimensional strain: An echocardiographic cross-sectional study

Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of left ventricular systolic function indices and structure in detecting early systolic dysfunction assessed by speckle-tracking two-dimensional strain: An echocardiographic cross-sectional study

Background: Reduced global longitudinal strain (GLS) is an early marker of subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, permitting timely interventions to slow disease progression. This technique is not widely available in echocardiographs in routine use. Aim: We sought to know if LV systolic func...
