Figure 1From: Clinical features of subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with diabetes mellitusExample of color-coded 2-dimensional left ventricular (LV) display derived from the three standard apical views and corresponding peak longitudinal strain values derived from 18 LV segments for measurement of global longitudinal strain (GLS). GLS was determined as the average peak strain of the 18 LV segments, and was expressed as an absolute value.Back to article page
