Representative example of the derivation of strain using cvi42 software in a 48-year-old male patient with NIDCM combined VAs. The result of LV feature-tracking of cine SSFP images in the short-axis view. Picture A1–3 The late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on CMR shows the LGE positivity in the interventricular septal midwall of ventricular fibers in the basal, midventricular and apical short-axis view (white arrows). Picture B1-3: Myocardial strain feature-tracking are illustrated on basal, midventricular and apical short-axis view. Picture C1-3: Myocardial strain scale color map are illustrated on basal, midventricular and apical short-axis view. Picture D1-3: Strain of each segment on the bull’s eye diagram of AHA for the peak radial strain (%), peak circumferential strain (%), and peak longitudinal strain (%)
