Concentric hypertrophy geometry is a significant determinant of impaired global longitudinal strain in patients with normal cardiac structure and function

Background: In recent years, the assessment of global longitudinal strain (GLS) derived by speckle-tracking analysis has become a clinically feasible alternative to left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) for the assessment of myocardial function. However, the determinant factors of impaired...
