TABLE 3.
The comparison of GLS and LVEF amount in patients with and without VT/VF incidence categorized based on ischaemic versus DCM origin
| Ischaemic | DCM | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VT/VF | No VT/VF | VT/VF | No VT/VF | |
| Number | 16 | 21 | 14 | 19 |
| GLS (mean ± SD) | −6.13 ± 3.46 | −12.66 ± 5.02 | −7.92 ± 2.29 | −10.88 ± 3.7 |
| P value | <0.001 | 0.005 | ||
| LVEF (mean ± SD) | 25.93 ± 6.37 | 30.71 ± 7.47 | 27.28 ± 7.07 | 31.78 ± 7.33 |
| P value | 0.048 | 0.087 | ||
DCM, dilated cardiomyopathy; GLS, global longitudinal strain; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; SD, standard deviation; VT/VF, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation.
