Strain imaging at cardiac MR has been shown to be a powerful tool in the pre-clinical detection of early cardiac dysfunction in the heart failure population, but has been only minimally studied in cardiotoxicity patients. This study evaluated a semi-automatic heart deformation analysis (HDA) tool in the assessment of left ventricular myocardial strain in patients with known cardiotoxicity, and found very good to excellent agreement with global strain values calculated using displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE). HDA analysis of conventional cine sequences has the potential to play a significant role in the evaluation of patients at risk for cardiotoxicity.
