Validation of cardiac magnetic resonance tissue tracking in the rapid assessment of RV function: A comparative study to echocardiography

Clinical Radiology Dec 03, 2017

Tong X, et al. - This trial entailed the analysis of the accuracy of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) tissue tracking (CMR-TT) and speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) against CMR determined right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction (RVEF). Furthermore, researchers aspired to determine an optimal cut-off value for STE and CMR-TT to identify RVEF <45%. They also comparatively evaluated this to other conventional methods for measuring RVEF in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients. The findings illustrated the potential of CMR-TT free-wall longitudinal strain (FLS) and STE global longitudinal strain (GLS) to provide rapid analysis of RV function. They exhibited a superior link with RVEF compared to conventional parameters.
