Contrast-enhanced echocardiographic measurement of longitudinal strain: accuracy and its relationship with image quality

In conclusion, contrast enhancement of TTE images improves the accuracy and reproducibility of GLS measurements, resulting in better agreement with CMR, even in pa tients with suboptimal acoustic windows. This approach may aid in the assessment of LV function in this patient population.
