Incremental prognostic value of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) to traditional risk factors (T) in predicting mortality in valve disease. (a) Aortic stenosis: traditional risk variables are New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification and additive EuroSCORE. Data from Kusonose et al. (33) (b) Aortic regurgitation: traditional risk variables are Society of Thoracic Surgeons score, right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), and indexed left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LV ESD). Data from Alashi et al. (4) (c) Mitral regurgitation: traditional risk variables are age, atrial fibrillation (AF), NYHA classification, estimated glomerular filtration rate, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LV EDD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF), and right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP). Data from Hiemstra et al. (42)
