When Reduced Myocardial Strain Does Not Mean Myocardial Disease: The Emerging Role of Extrinsic Mechanical Determinants [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Myocardial strain imaging has become an established tool for detecting subtle abnormalities in cardiac mechanics, and reduced strain is frequently interpreted as evidence of subclinical myocardial dysfunction. However, myocardial deformation reflects not

Myocarditis with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction in-hospital convalescent phase: insights from CMR and myocardial strain analysis [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundThe convalescent phase of myocarditis in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction remains poorly characterized. Persistent myocardial inflammation may elevate the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE ...

Comparative impact of persistent and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation on myocardial strain: a retrospective cohort study [PDF]

European Journal of Medical Research
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) impairs cardiac structure and function, increasing adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Myocardial strain analysis provides a sensitive measure of myocardial deformation and has emerged as a valuable tool in detecting ...

Diagnostic accuracy of left atrial function and strain for differentiating between acute and chronic myocardial infarction

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2023
Background The cardiac magnetic resonance tissue tracking (CMR-TT) technique was used to obtain left atrial strain and strain rate in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and to evaluate the utility of this technique in the quantitative assessment of

Comparison of Left Ventricular Global Strain in Anterior and Non-anterior Wall Myocardial Infarction With CMR Tissue Tracking

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Left ventricular (LV) myocardial dysfunction occurs after myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with the location, infarct size, and transmurality degrees of MI.

Left ventricular ejection fraction is determined by both global myocardial strain and wall thickness

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2015
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the mathematical relationship between left ventricular ejection fraction and global myocardial strain. A reduction in myocardial strain would be expected to cause a fall in ejection fraction. However,
