2D- Speckle Tracking Longitudinal Strain Results
The mean value of GLS was -21.65 ± 2.95. Divided into groups with and without ERP, GLS was significantly lower in those with ERP compared to those without ERP (p<0.0001 ). The difference in strain persisted across segmental strain values obtained at the A4C (p<0.0001 ), A3C (p<0.0001 ) and A2C (p<0.0001 ) (Figure 2). Also, SRS at the A3C (p:0.011 ) as well as both SRE at the A3C (p:<0.0001 ) and SRA at the A3C (p:0.034 ) were significantly lower in individuals with ERP compared to those without ERP. No significant differences were observed in other segments according to SRS, SRE and SRA (Table 3).
