Excerpt

Global longitudinal strain (GLS), has shown utility in detecting early subclinical LV dysfunction and has demonstrated significant efficacy in evaluating patients for chemotherapy cardiotoxicity. However, echocardiography is often reliant on operator experience and adequate quality windows for assessment. CMR is not subject to limitations of poor image quality due to its superior endocardial definition. We evaluated CMR derived strain by implementing a tissue tracking algorithm and compared it to GLS by 2D echocardiography in a prospective study of chemotherapy patients. …
