    Abstract Background: Cardiomyopathy (CMP) is the most common cause of mortality in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), though the age of onset and clinical progression vary. We applied a novel 4D (3D + time) strain analysis method using cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging data to determine if localized strain metrics derived from 4D image analysis would be sensitive and specific for characterizing DMD CMP.
    Methods: We analyzed short-axis cine CMR image stacks from 43 DMD patients (median age: 12.23 yrs [10.6-16.5]; [interquartile range]) and 25 male healthy controls (median age: 16.2 yrs [13.3-20.7]). A subset of 25 male DMD patients age-matched to the controls (median age: 15.7 yrs [14.0-17.8]) was used for comparative metrics. CMR images were compiled into 4D sequences for feature-tracking strain analysis using custom-built software. Unpaired t-test and receiver operator characteristic area under the curve (AUC) analysis were used to determine statistical significance. Spearman's rho was used to determine correlation.
    Results: DMD patients had a range of CMP severity: 15 (35% of total) had left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) > 55% with no findings of myocardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), 15 (35%) had findings of LGE with LVEF > 55% and 13 (30%) had LGE with LVEF < 55%. The magnitude of the peak basal circumferential strain, basal radial strain, and basal surface area strain were all significantly decreased in DMD patients relative to healthy controls (p < 0.001) with AUC values of 0.80, 0.89, and 0.84 respectively for peak strain and 0.96, 0.91, and 0.98 respectively for systolic strain rate. Peak basal radial strain, basal radial systolic strain rate, and basal circumferential systolic strain rate magnitude values were also significantly decreased in mild CMP (No LGE, LVEF > 55%) compared to a healthy control group (p < 0.001 for all). Surface area strain significantly correlated with LVEF and extracellular volume (ECV) respectively in the basal (rho = - 0.45, 0.40), mid (rho = - 0.46, 0.46), and apical (rho = - 0.42, 0.47) regions.
    Conclusion: Strain analysis of 3D cine CMR images in DMD CMP patients generates localized kinematic parameters that strongly differentiate disease from control and correlate with LVEF and ECV.

    Abstract Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, Canada, and worldwide. Severe disease is characterized by coronary artery occlusion, loss of blood flow to the myocardium, and necrosis of tissue, with subsequent remodeling of the heart wall, including fibrotic scarring. The current study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of quantitating infarct size via two-dimensional (2-D) echocardiographic akinetic length and four-dimensional (4-D) echocardiographic infarct volume and surface area as in vivo analysis techniques. We further describe and evaluate a new surface area strain analysis technique for estimating myocardial infarction (MI) size after ischemic injury. Experimental MI was induced in mice via left coronary artery ligation. Ejection fraction and infarct size were measured through 2-D and 4-D echocardiography. Infarct size established via histology was compared with ultrasound-based metrics via linear regression analysis. Two-dimensional echocardiographic akinetic length (
