MeSH definition : Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a measure of ventricular function derived from
2-dimensional echocardiographic images by quantifying the relative length change in
myocardial length between end-diastole and end-systole. GLS is used to predict cardiovascular
outcomes and has been proposed to be a better measure of cardiac dysfunction than
VENTRICULAR EJECTION FRACTION.;
