Comparative Cardiac Magnetic Resonance-Based Feature Tracking and Deep-Learning Strain Assessment in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Myocarditis.

ABSTRACT: This study sought to examine the correlation between left ventricular (LV) myocardial feature tracking (FT) and deep learning-based strain (DLS) analysis in the diagnostic (CMRd) and follow-up (CMRf) cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of patients with acute myocarditis. The retrospective study included 17 patients with acute myocarditis and 20 healthy controls. The CMRd took place within 14 days of symptom onset, while the CMRf took place at least 2 months after the event. The global-circumferential FT (FTc) and global-circumferential DLS (DLSc) were analyzed. The continuous variables were compared using paired t-tests or the Wilcoxon test, whereas Pearson's test or Spearman's test was used to evaluate the correlation between the continuous variables. The time between the CMRd and C
