The possible utility of global longitudinal strain in the risk-stratifying process of non-ST elevation-acute coronary syndrome.

Background: There are various ways that coronary artery disease (CAD) might present itself. Individual risk stratification for non ST-elevation-acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients should determine whether invasive coronary angiography and revascularization should be scheduled.

Aim Of Work: To assess the possible utility of left ventricular global longitudinal strain in the risk-stratifying process of NSTE-ACS.
