We investigated the potential of Cine and 2D Tagged Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Imaging to distinguish stunned from necrotic left ventricular (LV) myocardium in the early postischemic phase in an open-chest animal model (N = 12). Reversible and permanent occlusion of the LAD coronary artery resulted in global LV dysfunction in both groups without significant differences. LAD perfused segments revealed significant higher values for end systolic wall thickening (ESWT) and percentual systolic wall thickening in animals with stunned myocardium. Analysis of strain parameters showed significant regional differences (maximal principal strain lambda1, deviation angle beta) between postischemic and remote myocardium within both groups, however results were not significantly different comparing animals with stunned myocardium to animals with myocardial necrosis. In conclusion, at rest neither global LV functional nor regional strain parameters derived from Cine and 2D Tagged CMR Imaging can distinguish animals with short-term stunned myocardium from respective animals with necrotic myocardium. Diagnostic value of ESWT is limited due to the spatial resolution of the gradient-echo sequence used.

MRI-Based Circumferential Strain in Boys with Early Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Cardiomyopathy.

In boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), cardiomyopathy has become the primary cause of death. Although both positive late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are late findings in a DMD cohort, LV end-systolic circumferential strain at middle wall (E) serves as a biomarker for detecting early impairment in cardiac function associated with DMD. However, E derived from cine Displacement Encoding with Stimulated Echoes (DENSE) has not been quantified in boys with DMD.

Background: Current mainstream cardiovascular magnetic resonance-feature tracking (CMR-FT) methods, including optical flow and pairwise registration, often suffer from the drift effect caused by accumulative tracking errors. Here, we developed a CMR-FT method based on deformable groupwise registration with a locally low-rank (LLR) dissimilarity metric to improve myocardial tracking and strain estimation accuracy.
Methods: The proposed method, Groupwise-LLR, performs feature tracking by iteratively updating the entire displacement field across all cardiac phases to minimize the sum of the patchwise signal ranks of the deformed movie.

Tagged magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been successfully used to track the motion of internal tissue points within moving organs. Typically, to analyze motion using tagged MRI, cine MRI data in the same coordinate system are acquired, incurring additional time and costs. Consequently, tagged-to-cine MR synthesis holds the potential to reduce the extra acquisition time and costs associated with cine MRI, without disrupting downstream motion analysis tasks.

Article Synopsis
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of cine magnetic resonance feature tracking (FT) in diagnosing constrictive pericarditis (CP) and pericardial adhesions in patients who underwent cardiac MRI from 2011 to 2021.
- A total of 24 patients suspected of having CP were compared to age-matched individuals with heart failure and healthy volunteers, using various diagnostic assessments including septal bounce and adhesion detection.
- Results indicated that CMR-FT showed high sensitivity and specificity for identifying significant CP and pericardial adhesions, making it a reliable diagnostic tool in clinical settings.
