In patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, global longitudinal strain was independently associated with arthritis (β = 2.165, p = 0.007), lymphocyte count, and creatine kinase levels.
Observational (n=37)
Global longitudinal strain is independently associated with arthritis, lymphocyte count, and creatine kinase levels in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.
Effect estimate: β 2.165 (95% CI 0.610-3.719)

Romano et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (n=37). Global longitudinal strain (GLS) was evaluated on Association of GLS with arthritis (β 2.165, 95% CI 0.610-3.719, p=0.007). In patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, global longitudinal strain was independently associated with arthritis (β = 2.165, p = 0.007), lymphocyte count, and creatine kinase levels.
