Table 2 Baseline characteristics stratified by left ventricle walls with pathological PSS

From: Post-systolic shortening is superior to global longitudinal strain in predicting adverse events in patients with stable coronary artery disease and preserved systolic function

Walls with presence of PSS

No walls (n = 99)
