Purpose: To evaluate differences in strain measurements by using tissue-tracking (TT) and feature-tracking (FT) software on cardiovascular MR images in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).
Materials And Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study of 25 patients with repaired TOF (median age, 33.1 years; interquartile range, 25.3-38.3 years) from 2008 through 2014, left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) global circumferential and longitudinal strain were measured from cardiac MR images by using TT and FT software. Time to process was measured from opening the study to acceptance of contours. Intra- and interobserver reproducibility were evaluated with Bland-Altman analysis, coefficient of variation, and intraclass correlation coefficient.
Results: Time to process was slightly longer for TT (10.2 minutes ± 3.1 [standard deviation] vs 9.0 minutes ± 1.7, = .04). Fewer patients required contour revision with TT than with FT. Both TT and FT measurements had similar moderate-to-strong correlations with LV and RV ejection fractions; correlation of RV longitudinal strain with RV ejection fraction did not reach significance by using either method. With the exception of LV circumferential strain, strain measurements were lower with FT relative to TT. Intra- and interobserver reproducibility were lower with FT for longitudinal strain measurements.
Conclusion: TT and FT have systematic differences in strain values and reproducibility, particularly for longitudinal strain. Software-specific normative data are necessary, as are studies to evaluate correlation with clinical outcomes for each modality.© RSNA, 2019.

Association with Outcome of the Regurgitant-Volume Adjusted Right Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation.

Background: In patients with secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR), right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) may not accurately reflect the actual RV systolic performance since a considerable amount of the RV stroke volume (SV) is regurgitated back into the right atrium. To overcome this limitation, we explored the association with the outcome of the effective RVEF (eRVEF), which accounts for the tricuspid regurgitant volume (RegVol).
Methods: 513 patients with STR (mean age 75±13 years, 39% atrial STR, 58% severe) underwent complete two-, three-dimensional, and Doppler echocardiography.

This study aimed to evaluate the hemodynamic and ventricular performance of neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) undergoing therapeutic hypothermia using conventional and advanced echocardiographic techniques. This observational, prospective study included 22 neonates with HIE matched with 22 healthy neonates. Echocardiographic studies were performed 24 h after achieving target temperature during hypothermia and 24 h after rewarming.

Background: Hemodynamic force (HDF) from cardiac MRI can indicate subclinical myocardial dysfunction, and help identify early cardiac changes in patients with Fabry disease (FD). The hemodynamic change in FD patients remains unclear.
Purpose: To explore HDF changes in FD and the potential of HDF measurements as diagnostic markers indicating early cardiac changes in FD.

To research the value of Autostrain right ventricular (RV) technology in detecting and preventing right ventricular myocardial injury in patients undergoing breast cancer chemotherapy by providing an imaging basis for early identification. To examine the changes in various cardiac function parameters before and after chemotherapy, two-dimensional echocardiography was employed 48 h before chemotherapy, 48 h after the fourth cycle of chemotherapy, and 48 h after the eighth cycle of chemotherapy, respectively. The patients included those with breast cancer who underwent surgery and were primarily administered anthracycline-based chemotherapeutic drugs.

Background: Pulmonary stenosis (PS) is common in congenital heart disease and an integral finding in Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) is more commonly found following surgery in repaired TOF. We aimed to evaluate the haemodynamic effects of PS and PR on cardiac physiology in a porcine model using cardiac magnetic resonance-based feature tracking (CMR-FT) deformation imaging.
