Why the study?
Does cardiovascular magnetic resonance-feature tracking provide comparable strain and strain rate measurements to SPAMM tagged imaging in healthy controls and patients with dilated cardiomyopathy?

CMR-FT is a feasible and rapid alternative to myocardial tagging for calculating systolic and diastolic strain measures.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May facilitate faster CMR strain assessment in practice; leaves open outcome validation versus tagging.
Moody et al. (2014) studied this question.
