Implication

Prospective comparative study evaluates global longitudinal strain in patients undergoing different echocardiographic methods, suggesting 2D and 3D values are not interchangeable.

Key Points

Global longitudinal strain (GLS) measurement shows strong reproducibility across multiple acquisition techniques and analysis platforms.
Mean GLS values were consistent, with 2D methods averaging around −19.4, while 3D GLS values were notably lower at −14.8.
Intra- and inter-observer variability for 2D GLS was low, indicating reliable and consistent measurements.
These findings highlight the importance of standardization in comparing GLS results across different echocardiographic methods.
