Layer-specific strain in patients with heart failure using cardiovascular magnetic resonance: not all layers are the same

Abstract Background Global longitudinal strain (GLS), most commonly measured at the endocardium, has been shown to be superior to left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) for the identification of systolic dysfunction and prediction of outcomes in heart failure (HF). We hypothesized that strai...
