Abbreviations and definitions: CAD+ was defined as ≥ 50 % stenosis a in one or more coronary arteries and as ≥ 70 % luminal area reductionb

LAD: Left anterior desending csubset of 109 patients where TLS in the LAD territory was performed. d GLS from 12 segments. TLS = territorial longitudinal strain, defined specifically in the text from each study
