Key result
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance combined with bioengineering analysis of strain, compliance, and stress can augment clinical examinations and improve the characterization of heart disease.
Bioengineering analysis of CMR data, including strain, compliance, and stress, has the potential to substantially augment diagnostic quality and disease characterization.
May augment CMR-based disease characterization; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Heart disease is the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with coronary artery disease, diabetes, and obesity being major contributing factors. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can provide a wealth of quantitative information on the performance of the heart, without risk to the patient. Quantitative analyses of these data can substantially augment the diagnostic quality of CMR examinations and can lead to more effective characterization of disease and quantification of treatment benefit. This review provides an overview of the current state of the art in CMR with particular regard to the quantification of motion, both microscopic and macroscopic, and the application of bioengineering analysis for the evaluation of cardiac mechanics. We discuss the current clinical practice and the likely advances in the next 5-10 years, as well as the ways in which clinical examinations can be augmented by bioengineering analysis of strain, compliance, and stress.

Young et al. (2013) conducted a review in Heart disease. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and bioengineering analysis was evaluated. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance combined with bioengineering analysis of strain, compliance, and stress can augment clinical examinations and improve the characterization of heart disease.
