摘要：Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), and more recently, cardiovascular magnetic resonance myocardial feature tracking (CMR-FT) provides insight into all phases of atrial function. The aim of our study was to compare all phases of RA strain using CMR-FT and STE and also assess the relationship between RA and LA strain. A total of 61 healthy volunteers with mean age of 45 ± 13 years had adequate tracking for analysis on CMR-FT and 2D-STE. Females had larger RA reservoir strain (39 ± 15% vs. 32 ± 13%, p = 0.046) and conduit strain (26 ± 12% vs. 20 ± 9%, p = 0.03) when compared to males, but was not the case with booster strain (14 ± 7% vs. 12 ± 6%, p = 0.45). In comparison with STE derived strain, the RA reservoir and conduit strain were not significantly different between CMR-FT and the three echocardiography gating methods (p > 0.05 for all). Noticeably, there were no significant differences in strain and strain rate between RA and LA function using CMR-FT (p > 0.05 for all). RA strain and strain rate using CMR-FT had fair and good intra- and inter-observer reproducibility and had superior reproducibility compared to STE derived strain.
