[Abstract] Objective: The feature tracking technique of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR-FT) was used to analyze the cardiac function and myocardial segmental strain in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and to explore the feasibility of CMR-FT in the detection of early deformation abnormalities in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.Materials and Methods: 17 hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients and 14 healthy subjects as control cases were enrolled in our study. CMR was performed on 3.0 T scanner with the sequence of cine steadystate free precession. Cardiac functional segmental strain (38 segments of HCM and 38 segments of healthy subjects) was measured using CVI software.Results: Left ventricular function parameters (left ventricular end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume and left ventricular ejection fraction) had no difference between HCM patients and healthy subjects (all P>0.05). Segmental strain were significantly lower in patients with HCM compared to healthy subjects (all P<0.05): circumferential strain[(-5.26±2.70)% vs (-11.68±2.06)%], longaxis strain [(-7.92±5.07)% vs (-13.93±3.89)%] and peak systolic circumferential strain[(-10.44±5.46)% vs (-18.43±2.99)%], peak systolic longitudinal strain[(-12.29±8.17)% vs (-20.26±2.93)%].Conclusion: For hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with normal cardiac function, CMR-FT can detect changes of strain in hypertrophic myocardial segment in early stage, CMR-FT is able to find myocardial systolic dysfunction earlier than left ventricular function parameters.
