Key result
Global longitudinal strain is a strong independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with aortic stenosis, enhancing risk assessment beyond traditional markers.
Why the study?
Does global longitudinal strain (GLS) measurement predict all-cause mortality better than traditional risk markers in patients with aortic stenosis?
Does global longitudinal strain (GLS) measurement predict all-cause mortality better than traditional risk markers in patients with aortic stenosis?
Incorporation of GLS into risk models may improve the identification of the optimal timing for aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic stenosis.

GLS may refine mortality risk stratification in aortic stenosis; extends observational data but requires prospective validation before guiding AVR decisions.
