The purpose of this article is to investigate the value of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) derived left ventricular strain parameters in evaluation of ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). Thirty-one ICM patients and nineteen non-cardiomyopathy (non-CM) patients who performed CMR examinations during the same period were selected for this retrospective study. The basic clinical data, CMR left ventricular function parameters, left ventricular strain parameters were compared among the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) preserved ICM group, the LVEF impaired ICM group and the non-CM group. The differences of MyoGCS (-21.9 ± 1.9 vs -18.9 ± 2.7 P<0.001), MyoGLS (-20.8 ± 2.3 vs -17.0 ± 2.9 P<0.001) and EndoGLS (-22.2 ± 3.1 vs -17.6 ± 3.7 P<0.001) between LVEF preserved ICM group and non-CM group were statistically signi cant, while the differences of left heart function parameters between the two groups were not statistically signi cant (P > 0.05). The left ventricular strain analysis can be used to assess cardiac functional and morphological alterations in ICM patients prior to changes of left ventricular function parameters, which has high clinical signi cance.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
