Subclinical Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Silent Cerebrovascular Disease

Structured PICO

Is lower GLS associated with subclinical brain disease in a community-based cohort without overt cardiac disease?

P

Population

Community-based cohort without overt cardiac disease

I

Intervention

Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) assessment

O

Outcome

Subclinical brain diseasesurrogate

GLS provides additional information on cerebrovascular risk burden beyond LVEF assessment in patients without overt cardiac disease.

Abstract

Lower GLS was independently associated with subclinical brain disease in a community-based cohort without overt cardiac disease. GLS can provide additional information on cerebrovascular risk burden beyond LVEF assessment.
