Synopsis

Keywords: Cardiomyopathy, MR Value

This study aimed to detect left atrial (LA) strain and left ventricular (LV) stain by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging feature tracking (CMR-FT) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE patients showed lower LVEF and multiple LV strain data than control group. Furthermore, significantly different LA reservoir, conduit and bump function were found in SLE patients than healthy controls. With these findings, CMR-FT has proven as an effective method in the diagnosis of cardiac injury in SLE patients.
