Excerpt

Current assessment techniques for regional contractility require cardiac magnetic resonance-tagged or strain encoded imaging sequences and their analysis is complex. A new steady-state free precession cine sequence (SSFP) based technique called feature tracking can readily be performed on standard SSFP sequences. To test the feasibility of feature tracking in patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) and to quantify regional contractility patterns pre and post percutaneous dilation and stent implantation in the region of CoA. …
