Example of fast-SENC CMR images derived in LV two-chamber (a), three-chamber (d) and four-chamber (g) views. All fast-SENC images were uploaded into a dedicated analysis software and endocardial and epicardial borders were traced at end-diastolic and end-systolic cardiac phases in LV two-chamber (b and c), three-chamber (e and f) and four-chamber (h and i) images to estimate LV volumes, EF and mass. Comparison of LVEDV (j), LVESV (k) and LVEF (l) between fast-SENC and conventional cine imaging did not show significant difference whereas LVEDM (m) was significantly underestimated by fast-SENC imaging. SENC = strain-encoded imaging; CMR = cardiac magnetic resonance; LV = left ventricle / ventricular; LVEDV = LV end-diastolic volume; LVESV = LV end-systolic volume; LVEF = LV ejection fraction; LVEDM = LV end-diastolic mass
