Purpose Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking (FT) is more widely used in
the measurement of left atrial (LA) strain and strain rate (SR). However, in recent years …

Objective There is increasing recognition that left atrial (LA) strain can be a prognostic
marker of various cardiac diseases. However, its prognostic value in acute myocarditis …

Aims Left ventricular (LV) blood flow is determined by intraventricular pressure gradients
(IVPG). Changes in blood flow initiate remodelling and precede functional decline. Novel …

New-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of mortality, progressive
heart failure (HF), and strokes in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients. 1, 2 AF can trigger …

Research on cardiovascular diseases using CT-derived strain is gaining momentum, yet
there is a paucity of information regarding reference standard values beyond …

Objective Our study aimed to explore with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) the
impact of left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) myocardial strain in patients with acute …

Background Strain analysis is a sensitive method for the assessment of ventricular structural
or functional alterations. The authors aimed to determine whether right ventricular (RV) …

Background Despite the use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking
(FT) imaging to detect myocardial deformation, the optimal strain index in dilated …

BACKGROUND. MRI-based prognostic evaluation in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
(DCM) has historically used markers of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and feature …

The structural and functional changes of the left atrium (LA) are important for maintaining the
filling of the left ventricle (LV), whether the hemodynamics is stable or not, and are valuable …
