Scope note: La tensión longitudinal global (GLS, por sus siglas en inglés) es una medida de la función ventricular obtenida a partir de imágenes ecocardiográficas bidimensionales mediante la cuantificación de la variación relativa de la longitud del miocardio entre el final de la diástole y el final de la sístole. La GLS se usa para predecir resultados cardiovasculares y se ha propuesto que es una medida mejor de la disfunción cardíaca que la FRACCIÓN DE EYECCIÓN VENTRICULAR.

Scope note: Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a measure of ventricular function derived from 2-dimensional echocardiographic images by quantifying the relative length change in myocardial length between end-diastole and end-systole. GLS is used to predict cardiovascular outcomes and has been proposed to be a better measure of cardiac dysfunction than VENTRICULAR EJECTION FRACTION.
