Prediction of prognosis in patients with left ventricular dysfunction using three-dimensional strain echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We evaluated three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) strain and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with delayed contrast enhancement (DCE) for the prediction of cardiac events in left ventricular (LV) dysfunction.

Methods

CMR and 3DSTE in 75 patients with ischaemic and 38 with non-ischaemic LV dysfunction were analysed and temporally correlated to cardiac events during 41 ± 9 months of follow-up.

Results

Cardiac events occurred in 44 patients, more in patients with ischaemic LV dysfunction. LV ejection fraction (LVEF), global circumferential and global area strain were reduced more in patients with more cardiac events, whereas 3DSTE LV end-systolic volumes and 3DSTE LV masses were larger. However, the area under the curve using receiver-op
