Fig. 2From: Sensitive marker for evaluation of hypertensive heart disease: extracellular volume and myocardial strainRelationship between EF and myocardial strain measurements. There was strong correlation between EF and GRS, GCS, and GLS strain measurements. When separately considering only those patients with EF less than 50%, the magnitude of slope between EF and GLS, GCS, and GLS parameters was greater than observed for patients with EF≧50%Back to article page
