P1539 Role of global longitudinal strain diastolic index in assessment of coronary artery disease in patients with stable angina and normal or borderline ejection fraction
Abstract:Background Previous studies demonstrated that 2 D strain imaging segmental transverse diastolic index is a marker of regional ischemia and that global longitudinal strain diastolic index (GLSDI) correlates with left ventricular (LV) filling pressures and NTproBNP. However, usefulness of GLSDI in clinical practice has to be established.
Purpose The aim of the study is to examine the utility of global longitudinal strain diastolic index in the assessment of patients with suspected ischemic heart d… Show more
