Myocardial longitudinal strain, fitness, and heart failure risk factors in young adults.

In young adults without cardiovascular disease, low fitness and obesity are independently associated with reduced left ventricular longitudinal strain. There is a differential effect of HF risk factors on regional longitudinal function.
