ABSTRACT
There is an increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease and heart failure. Indices of left ventricular (LV) systolic function such as LV ejection fraction used to identify those at risk of adverse cardiac events such as heart failure may not be truly representative of LV systolic function in certain cardiac diseases. Given that LV ejection fraction reduction may represent more advanced irreversible stages of disease, measures of myocardial strain have emerged as a feasible and robust instrument for the early identification of heart disease and subtle LV systolic dysfunction. The purpose of this review was to provide an overview of emerging clinical applications of LV global longitudinal strain in valvular and cardiomyopathic diseases and coronavirus disease 2019.
