Does global longitudinal strain (GLS) assessment improve prediction of major adverse cardiac events compared to ejection fraction (EF) in patients with global LV dysfunction?
Global longitudinal strain (GLS) demonstrates superior prognostic value compared to traditional ejection fraction for predicting major adverse cardiac events.
There is strong evidence of the prognostic value of GLS, which appears to have superior prognostic value to EF for predicting major adverse cardiac events.
