Newer quantitative myocardial T1 and T2 mapping and feature-tracking (FT) myocardial strain analysis might add additional diagnostic information and further broaden the diagnostic targets. This study demonstrate that the assessment of cardiac strains applying FT on standard cine images is feasible in patients with fulminant myocarditis. And Cardiac strains parameters, especially, global peak systolic circumferential and longitudinal strain are significantly impaired in patients with FM. Myocardial strain metrics can sufficiently discriminate between FM and NFAM patients and show basic associations with the extent of myocardial inflammation.
