Background
Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a predictor of outcome after cardiac surgery. If integrated into clinical decision‐making and timing of surgery, it is important to evaluate the feasibility, reproducibility, and variation of GLS in this selection of patients, where poor image quality and nontraceable segments are frequent.
Methods and results
Two‐dimensional strain analysis was performed...
Purpose
To compare two‐dimensional (2D) and three‐dimensional (3D) methods to estimate left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with respect to feasibility, time consumption, and retest reproducibility.
Methods
A total of 100 patients planned to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting and/or aortic valve replacement were included consecutively. 2D and 3D echocardiography was performed on all patients...
