The prognostic value of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) among those with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remains uncertain. Subjects with end-stage renal disease initiated hemodialysis at Taipei Veteran General Hospital between 2015 and 2018 were registered. All participants received annually echocardiographic studies thereafter. Left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and internal diameter in systole (LVIDs), LVEF, and LV GLS were measured. A LV GLS of &gt; \u2013 15.9% was defined as reduced LV GLS. Clinical outcomes of mortality and hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) were followed. A total of 319 patients with preserved LVEF (66.3\u2009\u00b1\u200915.1 years, 48.6% men) were recruited in the study. Subjects with reduced LV GLS had more coronary artery disease (CAD), higher LVESV and LVIDs, but were similar in age, gender, co-morbidities, biochemistries and other echocardiographic parameters as the counterpart. Both CAD [(odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs): 1.669, 1.023\u20132.724], and LVESV (OR per-1 mL and 95% CIs: 1.073, 1.004\u20131.146) were independent determinants of reduced LV GLS. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that patients with reduced LV GLS had a significantly lower event-free survival rate compared to those with preserved GLS. The multivariate Cox regression analysis further demonstrated LV GLS as a significant predictor of adverse clinical events (hazard ratio per-1% and 95% CIs: 1.055, 1.002\u20131.110) after accounting for age, gender, and diabetes. Among the hemodialysis patients with preserved LVEF, LV GLS but not the conventional left ventricular functional indices were associated with long-term mortality and HHF. CAD could be a modifiable risk factor among the subjects with reduced LV GLS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-025-97569-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,10]],"date-time":"2025-07-10T08:50:40Z","timestamp":1752137440000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Prognostic impacts of left ventricular strain in hemodialytic patients with preserved left ventricular systolic function"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Yi-Tsang","family":"Fu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chih-Hsueh","family":"Tseng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei-Min","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen-Chung","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hao-Min","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chern-En","family":"Chiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chen-Huan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shih-Hsien","family":"Sung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chih-Ching","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12 Suppl","key":"97569_CR1","first-page":"S16","volume":"9","author":"RN Foley","year":"1998","unstructured":"Foley, R.
