Why the study?
Does repaired aortic coarctation lead to impaired left ventricular global longitudinal strain compared to healthy controls?
Does repaired aortic coarctation lead to impaired left ventricular global longitudinal strain compared to healthy controls?
Adults with repaired aortic coarctation have impaired left ventricular global longitudinal strain despite normal ejection fraction, suggesting GLS can detect early ventricular dysfunction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support GLS for detecting subclinical LV dysfunction in repaired coarctation; leaves open prognostic value and need for intervention.
Menting et al. (2016) studied this question.
