It has been identified that two-dimensional speckle-tracking imaging (2D-STI) enables the early detection of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. This study's objective was to evaluate the frequency of impaired LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) and investigate the factors in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF) associated with the impaired GLS.
