Correlations plots for GLS versus LASr (R = 0.37;  < 0.001, left chart), GLS versus LAScd (R = 0.29,  < 0.01; middle chart) and GLS versus LASct (R = 0.18, ns; right chart) (LAScd, left atrial strain conduit; LASct, left atrial strain contraction; LASr, left atrial strain reservoir; and GLS, left ventricular global longitudinal strain).
