Comparisons of longitudinal strains in the basal, mid- and apical segments of the left ventricle between the CA and non-CA groups. Longitudinal strains in the basal and mid-segments were significantly lower in the CA group than in the non-CA group, although there was no significant difference in longitudinal strain in the apical segment between groups. LS, longitudinal strain; CA, cardiac amyloidosis
