Prognostic Value of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in COVID-19 2020-07-03 .txt text/plain 588 42 46 title: Prognostic Value of Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain in COVID-19 The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020 (1) . Reports have noted right ventricular longitudinal strain to be a strong predictor of mortality in patients with COVID-19 (2) . Between March 16, 2020 and May 21, 2020, we reviewed 35 consecutive patients with laboratory confirmed diagnosed COVID-19 within the University Hospital Health System who underwent echocardiography. The median time from COVID-19 confirmation to echocardiogram was 3 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Thus, we observed significantly increased mortality with decrease (less negative) in left ventricular GLS in patients with COVID-19. Model 1 comparing tertile of global longitudinal strain (GLS) and mortality by days since COVID-19 diagnosis as adjusted for ejection fraction (EF) and age.
