Risk of adverse clinical outcomes associated with lower global strains and higher ECV. Kaplan–Meier curves demonstrate that event-free survival is reduced with lower global strains based on the cut off (− 11.0%) for GLS (A), − 11.4% for GCS (B), and 15.7% for GRS (C); event-free survival is worse with increased ECV (cut off 28.3%) and reduced GLS (D), GCS (E), and GRS (F) using thresholds above, respectively
