Fast-Strain Encoded Cardiac Magnetic Resonance During Vasodilator Perfusion Stress Testing.

ABSTRACT: Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance perfusion imaging during vasodilator stress is an established modality in patients with suspected and known coronary artery disease (CAD). Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of fast-Strain-Encoded-MRI (fast-SENC) for the diagnostic classification and risk stratification of patients with ischemic heart disease. Methods: Perfusion and fast-SENC cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images were retrospectively analyzed in 111 patients who underwent stress CMR. The average myocardial perfusion score index, global and segmental longitudinal and circumferential strain (GLS and GCS and SLS and SCS, respectively), were measured at rest and during stress. The combination of SLS and SCS was referred to as segmental aggregate strai
