Fig. 2From: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking for characterization of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: correlation of global longitudinal strain with invasive diastolic functional indicesDifferences in LV GLS and LV ECV between HFpEF patients and healthy controls. LV GLS was significantly impaired in HFpEF patients compared with controls (− 15.2 ± 4.0%, − 19.1 ± 1.8%, p = 0.0005) whereas LV ECV was not significantly different between HFpEF patients and controls (32.2 ± 3.7% vs. 29.7 ± 3.9%, p = 0.057)Back to article page
