Key result
Global longitudinal strain is a more sensitive marker for detecting early subclinical myocardial dysfunction than traditional left ventricular ejection fraction in pediatric patients with bicuspid aortic valve.
Why the study?
Does global longitudinal strain (GLS) assessed via speckle tracking echocardiography improve the detection of early left ventricular dysfunction compared to traditional LVEF in pediatric patients with bicuspid aortic valve?

Global longitudinal strain via speckle tracking echocardiography shows promise as a sensitive early marker for subclinical myocardial dysfunction in pediatric patients with bicuspid aortic valve, potentially guiding earlier monitoring and intervention.
Global longitudinal strain (GLS), assessed via speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), is increasingly recognized as a sensitive and early indicator of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in pediatric patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) [...].

Mashali et al. (2025) conducted an editorial in Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) (n=73). Global longitudinal strain (GLS) assessment via speckle tracking echocardiography vs. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was evaluated on Detection of subclinical myocardial dysfunction. Global longitudinal strain is a more sensitive marker for detecting early subclinical myocardial dysfunction than traditional left ventricular ejection fraction in pediatric patients with bicuspid aortic valve.
