BACKGROUND: The importance of right heart assessment in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is increasingly recognized. The development of cardiovascular magnetic resonance-feature tracking (CMR-FT) has provided a novel approach to quantify myocardial deformation and evaluate cardiac function. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility and reproducibility of CMR-FT for the quantitative derivation of right atrial (RA) strain and strain rate (SR) in patients with DCM.
METHODS: A total of 68 DCM patients (84% male; aged 50.6±13.2 years) and 58 healthy controls (81% male; aged 48.4±11.2 years) were retrospectively enrolled from September 2018 to August 2022 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University and Shenzhen Clinical Medical College of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. RA reservoir, conduit, and booster strain (εs, εe, and εa) and peak positive, peak early negative, and peak late negative SR (SRs, SRe, and SRa) were measured using CMR-FT and compared between 2 groups using Student's t-test. Intra- and inter-observer reproducibility was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and Bland-Altman plots.
RESULTS: Compared to healthy controls, DCM patients showed significantly lower RA strain (εs: 19.7%±9.0% vs. 44.4%±9.7%; εe: 7.9%±5.3% vs. 25.8%±8.6%; εa: 11.8%±6.2% vs. 18.6%±5.1%, all P<0.001) and SR (SRs: 1.17±0.48 vs. 1.92±0.62 s-1; SRe: -0.85±0.56 vs. -1.94±0.63 s-1; SRa: -1.39±0.71 vs. -2.01±0.65 s-1, all P<0.001). There was no significant difference in RA maximum volume index between the 2 groups. Simple linear regression analysis demonstrated a significant correlation between N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), RA emptying fraction passive (RAEF passive), and RA εe [(NT-proBNP and εe): r=-0.48, P<0.001, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.64 to -0.26; and (RAEF passive and εe): r=0.41, P=0.001, 95% CI: 0.22 to 0.56, respectively] in DCM patients. Intra- and inter-observer reproducibility was excellent (all ICCs >0.85) for RA deformation measurements.
CONCLUSIONS: CMR-FT is a promising, noninvasive approach for the quantitative assessment of RA phasic function in patients with DCM. DCM patients exhibit impaired RA reservoir, conduit, and booster pump function prior to visible RA enlargement.
