May aid early detection of subclinical dysfunction; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Myocardial tagging with MR imaging is a valuable tool for detecting early subclinical contractile dysfunction through strain impairment.
Jeung et al. (2012) conducted a review in Myocardial dysfunction. Myocardial tagging with MR imaging was evaluated. Myocardial tagging with MR imaging identifies early contractile dysfunction, measuring normal peak systolic strain at -15% to -20% for longitudinal and circumferential components.
