Abstract:
Objective To explore clinical value of cardiac MRI feature tracking (CMR-FT) in evaluation of left ventricular global and regional myocardial strain in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).Methods Totally 60 patients with HCM (HCM group) and 10 healthy volunteers (control group) were enrolled and underwent cardiac MR.MR Sequences included fast imaging employing steady state acquisition (FIESTA) and late gadalinum enhancement (LGE) at ventricular short-axis,two-chamber and four-chamber planes.The patients in HCM group were divided into LGE negative subgroup and LGE positive subgroup.CMR-FT processing software was used to measure myocardial global radial peak strain (GPSR),global circumferential peak strain (GPSC) and global longitudinal peak strain (GPSL).The radial,circumferential and longitudinal peak strain (PSR,PSC and PSL) at the apex,middle and basal parts of left ventricular were also measured as well.Resuits GPSR,GPSC,GPSL in LGE positive subgroup,LGE negative subgroup and control group had significant differences (all P＜0.05),and showed upward trends.Except PSL at the apex had no significent difference among three groups,PSR,PSC and PSL at the apex,middle and basal parts had significant differences (all P＜0.05),and also showed upward trends.There were positive correlations between the LVEF,SV and GPSR,GPSC,GPSL (all P＜0.05).The area under ROC curve of GPSR,GPSC and GPSL in diagnosis of HCM were 0.79,0.82,0.77 (all P＜0.05),and the area under ROC curve of GPSC was the largest.Conclusion The CMR-FT technology can find myocardial strain dysfunction in HCM sensitively,and the longitudinal strain is damaged earlier or worse than circumferential and radial strains.
