Correlation Of Global Longitudinal Systolic Strain With Severity Of Coronary Artery Disease In Non-Stelevation Acute Coronary Syndrome Having Normal Ejection Fraction.

Background: In patients of non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS), the global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLPS) has been used to detect the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) before left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is affected. We tried to find out the correlation between the GLPS and severity of CAD in such patients.

Methods: A descriptive correlational study was conducted from March 2018 to January 2020 at Jinnah Hospital Lahore.

Systolic Strain Rate In Left Ventricular Dysfunction Caused By Rheumatic Chronic Severe Mitral Regurgitation.

Background: In rheumatic severe mitral regurgitation, earlier detection of left ventricular dysfunction is very necessary in order to refer the patients for surgery at appropriate time. This study tried to find a correlation between conventional parameters of left ventricular dysfunction with systolic strain rate.

Methods: A descriptive correlational study conducted from September 2016 to March 2018.
