Prognostic value of left ventricular global longitudinal strain in secondary mitral regurgitation: a systematic review
In mitral regurgitation (MR), optimal timing of intervention depends on early detection of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Conventional metrics such as ejection fraction and LV dimensions may remain preserved until advanced myocardial damage has already developed. LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a sensi...
