Subclinical Compromise in Cardiac Strain Relates to Lower Cognitive Performances in Older Adults

Subclinical Compromise in Cardiac Strain Relates to Lower Cognitive Performances in Older Adults

BackgroundGlobal longitudinal strain (GLS), reflecting total shortening of the myocardium during the cardiac cycle, has emerged as a more precise myocardial function measure than left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Longitudinal strain may be selectively affected in subclinical heart disease,...
