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.
