Figure 1. The associations of global strain values with left ventricular function and fibrosis.

Figure 1

A, Global strain values correlate with left ventricular ejection fraction. Left ventricular global strain values (circumferential [GCS], longitudinal [GLS], and radial [GRS]) correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the whole cohort and patients with (black rhombus) and without (empty square) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) separately. B, Global strain values are not associated with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). In patients with LGE (n=109), the extent of fibrosis (LGE%) did not correlate with global strain values in patients with moderately (LVEF >35%) (black triangle) or highly impaired (LVEF <35%) (empty circle) LV function.
