Inflammatory cardiomyopathy, characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration into the
myocardium and a high risk of deteriorating cardiac function, has a heterogeneous …

Based on conventional cine sequences of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), feature
tracking (FT) is an emerging tissue tracking technique that evaluates myocardial motion and …

Aims CMR feature tracking strain (CMR-FT) provides prognostic information. However, there
is a paucity of data in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We sought to analyze global …

Background Global longitudinal strain (GLS), most commonly measured at the endocardium,
has been shown to be superior to left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) for the …

Background Left ventricular (LV) strain and rotation are emerging functional markers for
early detection of LV dysfunction and have been associated with the burden of myocardial …

Abstract Purpose of Review Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) use in the context
of heart failure (HF) has increased over the last decade as it is able to provide detailed …

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of layer-specific cardiac MRI feature-
tracking (FT) strain analysis in patients with acute myocarditis. Materials and Methods …

Aims The diagnostic and treatment of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection
fraction (HFpEF) are both hampered by an incomplete understanding of the pathophysiology …

Aims Although heart failure (HF) is a leading cause for hospitalization and mortality,
normalized and comparable non‐invasive assessment of haemodynamics and myocardial …

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) and speckle tracking
echocardiography (STE) are well-established strain imaging modalities. Multilayer strain …
