Prevalence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction measured by Global longitudinal strain echocardiography in chronic kidney disease patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction
Patients with abnormal LVGLS (≥-11 %) had more comorbidities. Abnormal global longitudinal strain (GLS > -16 %) was prevalent in 98 % of the study population. The higher prevalence compared to other studies may be related to the lesser use of nephroprotective and cardioprotective drugs (e.g., ACEI/ARB in only 28 %); however, abnormal GLS was not correlated with mortality.
