Relationship between global longitudinal strain and extracellular superoxide dismutase activity (a) and oxidized proteins (b). Relationship between left ventricular end diastolic pressure and total extracellular superoxide dismutase activity (c) and oxidized proteins (d). GLS: global longitudinal strain; EC-SOD: extracellular superoxide dismutase; LVEDP: left ventricular end diastolic pressure.
