Analysis reveals that reduced left atrial strain predicts major adverse cardiac events in acute myocarditis patients.

Those with a left atrial reservoir strain of 25.55% or less are significantly more likely to develop MACEs, highlighting its predictive power.
Kaplan-Meier analysis indicates that lower left atrial strain is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocarditis.
Using CMR feature tracking technology, we assessed strain parameters in patients, differentiating them into two groups based on their strain levels.
The independent predictive value of LA reservoir strain suggests it could inform treatment strategies for acute myocarditis.

Gu et al. (2025) studied this question.
