    The study evaluated the clinical value of global longitudinal strain (GLS) in predicting postoperative myocardial injury in OPCABG patients.

  • 2

    A total of 113 patients were enrolled, with 47 classified as high risk and 66 as low risk based on hs-cTnI thresholds.

  • 3

    GLS values were significantly lower in the high-risk group at all measured time points compared to the low-risk group.

  • 4

    GLS measurements at various time points were independently associated with biomarker-defined postoperative myocardial injury.

  • 5

    The study concluded that perioperative GLS provides complementary information for myocardial function assessment in OPCABG.
