However, interobserver variation, limited reproducibility, and dependence on pre-load and after-load reduces its accuracy. The fall in LVEF occurs very late, when myocardial dysfunction is already advanced. Myocardial strain measurements (especially global longitudinal strain) is a new parameter to detect myocardial dysfunction before derangements in LVEF. The aim of this article is to share our experience of this novel diagnostic tool.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003Feature tracking method of strain assessment is performed using routine long and short axis cine images of cardiac MRI (CMR). Dedicated post-processing CMR software can perform off-line analysis and provide results in form of color-coded maps, percentage values as well as strain over time curve for each myocardial segments.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is more sensitive than LVEF and can identify sub-clinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in various cardiomyopathies. It is also an important prognostic marker in serial assessment of heart failure patients. Regional differences in strain parameters can provide clues in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as well as amyloidosis. GLS is recommended as routine measurement in patients undergoing chemotherapy to detect LV dysfunction prior to fall in LVEF. Strain imaging can be applied to guide placement of the LV pacing lead in patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy. More clinical data is needed to evaluate its role in ischemic heart disease.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Strain imaging can identify LV dysfunction earlier than conventional methods and this opens a new perspective in risk stratification and therapeutic decision-making of various cardiac pathologies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1748760","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,30]],"date-time":"2022-08-30T22:55:05Z","timestamp":1661900105000},"page":"479-487","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Myocardial Strain Imaging Using Feature Tracking Method of Cardiac MRI: Our Initial Experience of This Novel Parameter as an Additional Diagnostic Tool"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Priya D.","family":"Chudgar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Jupiter Hospital, Thane, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nitin J.","family":"Burkule","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Jupiter Hospital, Thane, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nikhil V.","family":"Kamat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Jupiter Hospital, Thane, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gautam M.","family":"Rege","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Jupiter Hospital, Thane, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mansi N.","family":"Jantre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Jupiter Hospital, Thane, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"02","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"118","DOI":"10.2174\/1573403X12666161028122649","article-title":"Strain imaging echocardiography: what imaging cardiologists should know","volume":"13","author":"A Lopez-Candales","year":"2017","journal-title":"Curr Cardiol Rev"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref2","first-page":"1","article-title":"CMR shows that anthracycline cardiotoxicity is common in women treated for early breast cancer and associated with undiagnosed hypertension;
