Global longitudinal strain is a more reproducible measure of left ventricular function than ejection fraction regardless of echocardiographic training
Karlsen, Sigve; Dahlslett, Thomas; Grenne, Bjørnar; Sjøli, Benthe; Smiseth, Otto A.; Edvardsen, Thor; Brunvand, Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is an established method for evaluation of left ventricular (LV)systolic function. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) by speckle tracking echocardiography seems to be an ... -
Increased deformation of the left ventricle during exercise test measured by global longitudinal strain can rule out significant coronary artery disease in patients with suspected unstable angina pectoris
Karlsen, Sigve; Melichova, Daniela; Dahlslett, Thomas; Grenne, Bjørnar; Sjøli, Benthe; Smiseth, Otto A.; Edvardsen, Thor; Brunvand, Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Noninvasive identification of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with unstable angina pectoris (UAP) is challenging. Exercise stress testing has been used for years in patients with suspected ...
