Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) Calculator
Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS): Explanation and Clinical Context Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) by speckle-tracking echocardiography measures the percentage deformation (shortening) of the left ventricular myocardium in the longitudinal direction during systole. GLS is reported as a negative percentage (for example, −20% represents greater shortening than −15%) and is a sensitive measure of longitudinal systolic
