GCS and GCS/GLS ratio provides incremental value in comparison to GLS, PALS, and tissue Doppler indices (E/e') in patients with suspected ACS and non-diagnostic electrocardiogram and troponins. GCS at cut-off of >31.5% and GCS/GLS ratio >1.89 can reliably exclude patients with significant CAD in this setting.
