Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for the diagnostic classification and risk stratification in most patients with cardiac disorders. The aim of the present study was to investigate the ability of Strain-encoded MR (SENC) for the prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
CMR detects decreased myocardial deformation in asymptomatic patients at risk for heart failure
A recently published article from Berlin highlights the potential of MyoStress in terms of identifying at-risk patients who have reserve and are therefore not symptomatic compared to patients with heart failure who have a preserved ejection fraction. This article shows that asymptomatic subjects with increased CV risk present with HFpEF
