Association of Global Longitudinal Strain With Clinical Status and Mortality in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is an emerging echocardiographic biomarker of cardiac function in heart failure (HF). Evidence from large-scale studies comprehensively investigating GLS for its association with clinical phenotypes and mortality in asymptomatic and symptomatic chronic HF is limited.

Objective

To assess the factors associated with GLS and its prognostic value in patients with chronic HF.

Design, setting, and participants

The observational, prospective MyoVasc cohort study enrolled 3289 individuals with asymptomatic to symptomatic HF between January 17, 2013, and April 27, 2018. The median follow-up was 3.2 years (interquartile range, 2.0-4.0 years). Participants with stages A to D HF according to American Heart Association (AHA) criteria wer
