I’ve had Covid and I have had the jab. My cardiologist insisted I have an echo. Found my global strain is off. Precursor to a cardio event. I suspect there are millions of people world wide who are ticking time bombs and should get checked. I will be on an aggressive drug protocol to get this fixed. Glad my cardiologist cares.
I’m glad you have a doctor who is being proactive. I’ve never heard of global strain.
Global longitudinal strain is a diagnostic tool that appears to be more useful as a predictor/indicator of heart issues (like heart failure) than ejection fraction. You can have heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction. Sounds like the cardiologist is doing a good job.
Front Line Doctors have a protocol you can go on for side effects.
