Description
Chee Cheen Yeong and co-authors published this study in 2024. It offers a hand-measured stand-in for a heart strain score that normally needs special software. The score, global longitudinal strain, flags weak heart muscle early. Speckle tracking software computes it from ultrasound images, but many sites lack the tool. The team measured the same strain manually, from mid-wall lengths, in 154 Australian hospital patients.
Hand measures tracked the software values almost perfectly. They also matched ejection fraction, the standard pump measure, whether or not parts of the wall moved oddly. Cutoff checks agreed in over ninety-five percent of cases at both the healthy and sick ends. No case landed on opposite sides of the line by the two methods. The authors back hand measurement as a reliable fallback for clinics and studies.
