Regional Myocardial Strain and Function: From Novel Techniques to Clinical Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Part of the book series: Contemporary Cardiology ((CONCARD))

Abstract

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging has been the noninvasive method of choice for the evaluation of regional myocardial movement since myocardial tagging was invented almost 30 years ago. A number of developments and improvements on the technique have taken place to improve image resolution, quality, three-dimensional image acquisition, and scan duration. These techniques have also been applied in a variety of heart diseases spanning ischemic heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and other forms of nonischemic cardiomyopathy, pericardial diseases, valvular heart disease, right heart diseases, and congenital heart diseases. In recent years, feature tracking on cine images allowed generation of much greater amount of data on regional function of cardiac diseases. The clinical decision-making with integration of regional myocardial motion analyses is on the horizon.
