Key result
In a healthy Korean population, females had significantly lower (better) left ventricular global longitudinal systolic strain compared to males (-21.2% vs. -19.5%, p < 0.001).

This study establishes normal reference values for 2-dimensional left ventricular strain and strain rate in a healthy Korean population, highlighting significant sex-based differences.
Park et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy adults (n=501). Female sex vs. Male sex was evaluated on Left ventricular global longitudinal systolic strain (LVGLS) (p=< 0.001). In a healthy Korean population, females had significantly lower (better) left ventricular global longitudinal systolic strain compared to males (-21.2% vs. -19.5%, p < 0.001).
