Echocardiography is the key tool for the diagnosis and evaluation of aortic stenosis.
Because clinical decision-making is based on the echocardiographic assessment of its …

Strain-based imaging techniques (and specifically speckle-tracking echocardiography) have
been shown to have clinical utility in a variety of settings. This technique is being embraced …

Background There is a need for improved methods for detection and risk stratification of
myocarditis associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Global longitudinal strain …

Background Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a robust, well validated and reproducible
technique for the measurement of LV longitudinal deformation. We sought to assemble …

Objectives: In this individual participant data meta-analysis on left ventricular global
longitudinal strain (LVGLS), our objective was to: 1) describe its distribution; 2) identify the …

Importance The optimal timing to operate in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic
stenosis (AS) remains controversial. Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) may …

Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) is the most validated and commonly used
echocardiographic measure of systolic function. LVEF has a unique position in cardiology …

Objectives This study investigated the relationship between plasma angiotensin-converting
enzyme 2 (ACE2) activity levels and the severity of stenosis and myocardial remodeling in …

Background—We sought to assess the utility of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-
GLS) in predicting mortality in moderate to severe and paradoxical severe aortic stenosis …

Aims Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) may identify subclinical myocardial
dysfunction in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). The aims of the present retrospective single …
