Left ventricular longitudinal wall fractional shortening accurately predicts longitudinal strain in critically ill patients with septic shock

Abstract Background Left ventricular longitudinal strain (LVLS) may be a sensitive indicator of left ventricular (LV) systolic function in patients with sepsis, but is dependent on high image quality and analysis software. Mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) and the novel left ventricula...
