Association of left ventricular global longitudinal strain with exercise capacity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Association of left ventricular global longitudinal strain with exercise capacity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Background: Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) analysis using two-dimensional (2D) speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) is a method for detecting subclinical systolic dysfunction. We hypothesized that exercise capacity (EC) is more closely related to systolic than diastolic dysfunc...
