This study aimed to investigate whether left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) evaluated by speckle‐tracking echocardiography (STE) can be used as a surrogate marker for the detection of replacement fibrosis by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM).
