Global longitudinal strain (GLS) analysis by speckle tracking echocardiography is assessed in the 3 apical views. In this case, the endocardial borders were manually contoured and both 2D and 3D volumetric longitudinal strain can be measured. Impaired GLS assessed by either 2D or 3D speckle tracking (A and B, respectively) was associated with increased adverse cardiovascular events (cardiac death, sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmia, aortic valve replacement and hospital admission for heart failure).
