However, many of ICD receivers would not have an event and do not have any gains from the device. Consequently, improving the discrimination strategies is needed. Here, we aimed at assessing the role of global longitudinal strain (GLS) for such purpose.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seventy ischaemic or dilated cardiomyopathy cases characterized by LVEF \u2264 40% with a previously implanted ICD were enrolled. LVEF and GLS amounts were evaluated using 3D echocardiography. The occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias was checked by analysing the ICD history. Mean follow-up period of patients was 1.8 \u00b1 0.6 years. There was a significant difference in the amount of GLS in arrhythmic cases compared with non-arrhythmic ones (\u22126.97 \u00b1 3.06 vs \u221211.82 \u00b1 4.25; P &amp;lt; 0.001). This difference was found in both ischaemic and dilated cardiomyopathy groups. A GLS below \u221210 cm\/s could predict the occurrence of a ventricular event by 90% specificity and 72.2% sensitivity (area under the curve = 0.84, P &amp;lt; 0.001). While 27.39 (69.2%) patients with GLS below \u221210 cm\/s had a ventricular event, only 3.31 (9.6%) of the patients with GLS above \u221210 had an event) P &amp;lt; 0.001).
