Does global longitudinal strain measured by 2D STE in rest images identify non-obstructive CAD with similar accuracy to traditional WMSI in stress echocardiography?
Resting global longitudinal strain by 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography can detect non-obstructive CAD with accuracy comparable to stress echocardiography wall motion score index.
Non-obstructive CAD was identified by a reduced GLS measured by 2D STE in rest images with similar accuracy to the traditional WMSI measured in stress echocardiography.
