Abstract:Background: Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) is a direct echocardiographic assessment of myocardial fiber deformation performed by speckle-tracking echocardiography that can better reflect ischemic and infarct areas and left ventricular function. Ischemic burden is a measurement of ischemic myocardium percentage and can be used to determine the management strategy of Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease (MVCAD). We aimed to investigate the value of GLS to predict the ischemic burden as detected by SPECT Myocard… Show more
