</WRAP> Prognostic Importance of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis and Preserved Ejection Fraction - JASE 2020

• GLS is often impaired despite preservation of LVEF in severe AS and no or mild symptoms.
• GLS < 15% is associated with an increased risk of mortality during follow-up in this population.
• GLS provides added prognostic information over echocardiographic predictors in AS.
• Detection of myocardial dysfunction by GLS < 15% can aid in risk assessment.
