Ratio of Early Mitral Inflow Velocity to the Global Diastolic Strain Rate and Global Left Ventricular Longitudinal Systolic Strain Predict Overall Mortality and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Hemodialysis Patients
Figure 2
A representative example of measurements of global longitudinal strain (a) and the early global diastolic strain rate (b) from the curves of longitudinal strain and the strain rate of six segments of the left ventricle in the apical two-chamber view. AVC: aortic valve closure; E’sr: early global diastolic strain rate.
