Relation between left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) in the pooled population (a), and in patients with mild (b) and moderate to severe mitral regurgitation (MR) (c). Positive relations are seen in all the three groups, but data points for a certain number of MR patients are above the upper and below the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the normal relation in (a) and (b) (parallel dotted lines). Conversely, the positive relation in moderate to severe MR (c) exhibits only 2 patients below the 95% CI
