[Abstract] Objective To assess the left atrial (LA) structure, function and myocardial strain (MS) between normal male smokers and non-smokers using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) MS technique.Materials and Methods: Seventy normal male volunteers underwent conventional heart scanning in 3.0 T magnetic resonance in our hospital were enrolled in this study. They were divided into a smoker group (44 volunteers) and a non-smoker group (26 volunteers). General information and clinical data were documented. The left atrial (LA) structure, function and MS parameters were measured by Medis Suite software. MS parameters included global longitudinal strain (GLS), global radial strain (GRS), and global circumferential strain (GCS). We compared the differences in LA structure, function and MS parameters between the non-smoker group and smoker group.Results LA MS parameters showed good consistency within and between the group (ICC≥0.75). GCS and GRS in smoker group were significantly lower than in non-smoker group (33.81%±11.23% vs. 40.21%±11.84%, -28.99%±4.95% vs. -31.66%±4.75%, all P＜0.05). There was no statistically difference in LA structure and function parameters between two groups.Conclusions In contrast with non-smoker volunteers, LA GCS and GRS of smoker volunteers were damaged to a certain extent, before the changes of LA structure and function.
