Global longitudinal strain is a strong independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with aortic stenosis, enhancing risk assessment beyond traditional markers.
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.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
GLS detects subclinical dysfunction and has incremental prognostic value over traditional risk markers including haemodynamic severity, symptom class, and LVEF in patients with AS. Incorporation of GLS into risk models may improve the identification of the optimal timing for AV replacement.
