Assessment of Myocardial Function by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: Our results suggest that GLS is associated with stroke severity on admission in patients with acute ischemic stroke. GLS is an indicator of myocardial deformation with a different from LVEF. GLS can detect early myocardial dysfunction despite preserved LVEF.
