Key result
Global longitudinal strain links to clinical status and mortality in chronic heart failure.
Why the study?
Evidence from large-scale studies comprehensively investigating global longitudinal strain for its association with clinical phenotypes and mortality in asymptomatic and symptomatic chronic heart failure is limited.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.
May inform prognosis in chronic HF; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is an emerging echocardiographic biomarker of cardiac function in heart failure (HF). Evidence from large-scale studies comprehensively investigating GLS for its association with clinical phenotypes and mortality in asymptomatic and symptomatic chronic HF is limited.
