Table 2. Myocardial strain and EFV parameter analysis.

Variables MVO (n=22) NMVO (n=34) t P
GRS (%) 14.64±5.87 21.98±6.70 4.20 <0.001
GCS (%) −10.90±4.89 −16.06±5.36 −3.64 <0.001
GLS (%) −5.91±2.63 −10.62±3.01 −5.99 <0.001
EFV (cm3) 83.73±16.52 58.06±15.36 −5.93 <0.001

Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Negative values of GCS and GLS indicate that the myocardium has undergone normal physiological shortening during the contraction process, which is a part of the heart’s pumping function. EFV, epicardial fat volume; MVO, microvascular obstruction; NMVO, non-microvascular obstruction; GRS, global radial strain; GCS, global circumferential strain; GLS, global longitudinal strain.
