Myocardial strain in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy with feature tracking. Feasibility and prognostic implications

Myocardial strain analysis could provide additional information to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDC). Our aim was to analyze the feasibility of left ventricular strain evaluation using cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (FT) in NIDC, and to determine its clinical and prognostic impact. We retrospectively included consecutive patients with NIDC who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance....
