Comparison of overall three-dimensional strain indexes between the two groups ( ± s).

IndexNoncarrier group (n = 12)Carrier group (n = 4)

GLS (%)−24.28 ± 2.9920.11±2.230.024
GCS (%)−36.05 ± 3.98−39.86 ± 7.760.211
GRS (%)46.94 ± 5.6153.02 ± 9.920.307

Compared with the noncarrier group,  < 0.05. GLS: global longitudinal strain, GCS: global circumference strain, and GRS: global radial strain.
