A very interesting paper evaluating the effect of correcting low preload in critically ill patients, appropriately pointing out that global longitudinal strain alone cannot be used in this cohort to diagnose cardiac dysfunction. Preload induced change in GLS follows change in CI. https://annalsofintensivecare.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s13613-018-0376-8
