Population

235 healthy subjects

Intervention

Layer-specific two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography

Outcome

Normal ranges of layer-specific longitudinal and circumferential strain (endocardial global longitudinal strain (GLS), transmural GLS, epicardial GLS, endocardial global circumferential strain (GCS), transmural GCS, and epicardial GCS)surrogate

This study establishes normal reference values for layer-specific myocardial strain using 2D speckle tracking echocardiography, providing a baseline to characterize abnormal findings in cardiovascular diseases.
