Detection and correct localization of transmural lesions can be important for optimal treatment of patients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the study was to investigate the ability of peak longitudinal ejection strain (PLS) to detect the presence and extent of scar-tissue in CAD patients with normal or near normal ejection fraction, in comparison to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
