Magnetic Resonance Imaging-based Multiparametric Systolic Strain Analysis and Regional Contractile Heterogeneity in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy

MRI-based multiparametric systolic strain analysis suggests that myocardial systolic strain in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy has a heterogeneous regional distribution and, on average, falls almost 2 standard deviations from normal.
