Myocardial global longitudinal strain: An early indicator of cardiac interstitial fibrosis modified by spironolactone, in a unique hypertensive rat model

OBJECTIVES: Is global longitudinal strain (GLS) a more accurate non-invasive measure of histological myocardial fibrosis than left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in a hypertensive rodent model. BACKGROUND: Hypertension results in left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiac dysfunction. Speckle-tr...
