Association of GLS assessment and all-cause mortality stratified according to subgroups of patients with NSTEMI and STEMI. Cox regression analysis is depicted per 1 SD of strain measure, adjusted for age, sex, systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, smoking status, diabetes and positive family history of premature coronary artery disease
