Value of global longitudinal strain by two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in predicting coronary artery disease severity

BACKGROUND: Significant coronary artery stenosis might cause persistently impaired longitudinal left ventricle (LV) function at rest. LV global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) can be accurately assessed by 2D speckle-tracking strain echocardiography(2D-STE). OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the diagnosti...
