Assessment of three-dimensional (3-D) left ventricular ejection fraction and speckled tracking echocardiographic strain parameters in non-ischemic left bundle branch block (LBBB) patients and their association with cardiovascular events - A prospective observational study.

Impaired LV GLS and low 3-D LVEF are significantly associated with the occurrence of MACE in patients with non-ischemic LBBB. This strong association of LV GLS with outcomes can aid in risk stratification, prognostication, and clinical decision-making in non-ischemic LBBB.
