A global longitudinal strain cut ‐off value to predict adverse outcomes in individuals with a normal ejection fraction

ConclusionsThere is a strong correlation between cardiac adverse events and GLS values in subjects with a normal LVEF. In our single-centre study, −20.0% was determined as a cut-off value to identify subjects at risk. A next step should be to integrate GLS values in a multi-parametric model.
