Three-dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Feature Tracking for Assessment of Left Ventricular Myocardial Fibrosis in Patients with End-Stage Heart Failure

Key Points

Left ventricular myocardial fibrosis is effectively assessed using both cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking and 3D speckle-tracking echocardiography.
The c correlation coefficients indicate that non-invasive imaging methods are reliable indicators for evaluating cardiac health.

Structured PICO

Do 3D-GLS and CMR-GLS correlate with left ventricular myocardial fibrosis in patients with end-stage heart failure?

Population

Patients with end-stage heart failure

Intervention

Three-dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography (3D-GLS) and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Feature Tracking (CMR-GLS)

Outcome

Correlation with left ventricular myocardial fibrosis (LVMF)surrogate

CMR-GLS and 3D-GLS are promising non-invasive imaging parameters for assessing left ventricular myocardial fibrosis in end-stage heart failure.

Abstract

Both CMR-GLS and 3D-GLS are strongly correlated with LVMF, and are promising non-invasive imaging parameters for the assessment of LVMF in patients with end-stage HF.
