Does CMR-based strain analysis using feature tracking improve the detection and quantification of global and regional ventricular dysfunction in patients with ARVC compared to healthy volunteers?
CMR-based feature tracking strain analysis can objectively quantify right ventricular wall motion abnormalities in ARVC, allowing differentiation from healthy volunteers even when ejection fraction is preserved.
Heermann et al. (2014) studied this question.
