Abstract

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, researchers have attempted to improve the low temporal resolution of CMR-FT to better capture the subtle deformations of the myocardium. The technique of compressed sensing (CS) has been applied clinically, reducing scan time while increasing temporal resolution. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of the increased temporal resolution of CS cine sequences on the analysis of LA longitudinal strain and SR.

Materials and methods

Twenty-nine healthy subjects were included in the study. They underwent CMR with a reference steady-state free precession cine sequence of conventional temporal resolution (standard SSFP sequence), a cine sequence of higher temporal resolution (HT sequence), and an HT cine sequence with CS (CS HT sequence) (temporal resolution: 22.1–44.3/24.9–47.1 ms, 11.1–19.4 ms, and 8.3–19.4 ms, respectively). The standard SSFP sequence, HT sequence, and CS HT sequence were acquired in all subjects during the same scanning session. LA longitudinal strain and SR, reflecting LA reservoir, conduit, and contraction booster-pump function, were measured by CMR-FT and compared among the three sequences.

Results

The measurements of LASR reservoir, conduit, and booster-pump were significantly higher on the HT and CS HT sequences than on the standard SSFP sequence. The standard SSFP sequence was correlated significantly with the HT and CS HT sequences in terms of LA strain and SR analysis, respectively. The LA strain and SR measurements also showed excellent agreement between the HT and CS HT sequences.

Conclusion

Higher temporal resolution led to significantly higher measured LASR values in CMR-FT. Furthermore, the addition of CS reduced scan time and did not affect LA longitudinal strain or SR analysis.
