Key result
CMR tissue tagging yields highly reproducible 3D myocardial data as an alternative to tissue Doppler.
Why the study?
Accurate quantification of regional myocardial function is important for clinical risk assessment and patient management, but tissue Doppler echocardiography has major inherent limitations.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance tissue tagging offers a highly reproducible alternative to tissue Doppler echocardiography for quantifying 3D regional myocardial function.
Götte et al. (2006) conducted a review in Regional myocardial dysfunction. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance tissue tagging vs. Tissue Doppler echocardiography was evaluated. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance tissue tagging provides highly reproducible 3D data on myocardial function and may serve as a clinical alternative to tissue Doppler echocardiography.
