Feature-Tracking-Derived Strain Analysis for Identification of Subendocardium-Involved Late Gadolinium Enhancement in Load-Induced Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: A Multicenter Study of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Subendocardium-involved late gadolinium enhancement (SILGE) is a significant predictor of poor prognosis in patients with load-induced left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).

Objectives

This multicenter study aimed to investigate whether the diagnostic performance of cardiac magnetic resonance feature-tracking (CMR-FT)-derived strain analysis for detecting subtle subendocardial injury would be influenced by its load dependence in patients with load-induced LVH.

Methods

A total of 149 patients with load-induced LVH were recruited from three centers and underwent enhanced CMR imaging. The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of SILGE on CMR (SILGE⁺ group: n = 56; SILGE^- group: n = 93). Clinical
