Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of 2D speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) in identifying significant coronary artery stenosis in patients with stable angina pectoris.
- Results indicate that patients with significant coronary artery disease (CAD) show lower global longitudinal strain (GLS) values, and 2D-STE demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity for detecting stenosis compared to standard echocardiography.
- The findings suggest that GLS and segmental longitudinal strain (SLS) provide a more accurate assessment of coronary artery health than conventional echocardiography, which relies on subjective evaluation of wall motion.
Diagnostic accuracy of global longitudinal strain in prediction of severity and extent of coronary artery stenosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Background: 2 D Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a non-invasive, angle-independent, semiautomatic and objective technique that quantitatively assesses global and regional longitudinal systolic strain and provides a single bull's eye map for segmental wall strain of the left ventricle.
Objectives: assessment of the accuracy of global longitudinal strain (GLS) using STE in the detection of resting myocardial ischaemia and its severity compared with visual assessment of wall motion score index by conventional 2 D echo.
Patients And Methods: 100 patients who presented with ACS were included.
