Fig. 3From: Global longitudinal strain and plasma biomarkers for prognosis in heart failure complicated by diabetes: a prospective observational studyExample of GLS measurement in apical 2-chamber view. Top panel shows a patient with heart failure, diabetes and GLS ≤ -9.9%, at end systole. Bottom panel shows a patient with heart failure, diabetes and GLS > -9.9%, at end systole. Centre panel: event-free survival curves showing adverse prognosis in patients with heart failure, diabetes and GLS worse than cohort median (-9.9%).
