Abstract
PURPOSE Layer-specific speckle tissue echocardiography (LS-STE) is a unique technique used to assess coronary microvascular obstruction (CMVO) that may offer more information on the myocardial anatomy of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) has also been gaining popularity as a way to evaluate CMVO. The aim of the present study was to directly compare CMVO assessment in STEMI patients using CMR-FT and LS-STE. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 105 STEMI patients with LS-STE, CMR-FT, and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) were included in the study. Longitudinal peak systolic strain (LS), circumferential peak systolic strain (CS), and radial peak systolic strain (RS) were each used to evaluate CMVO using CMR-FT and LS-STE. RESULTS Correlation coefficients were 0.56, 0.53, and 0.55 for CMR-FT CS vs. endocardial CS, midcardial CS, and epicardial CS comparisons, respectively, and 0.87, 0.51, and 0.32 for CMR-FT LS vs. endocardial LS, midcardial LS, and epicardial LS comparisons, respectively. Bland-Altman analysis revealed strong inter-modality agreement and little bias in endocardial LS, while the absolute of limited of agreement (LOA) value was 2.28 ± 4.48. The absolutes LOA values were 1.26 ± 11.16, -0.02 ± 12.21, and - 1.3 ± 10.27 for endocardial, midcardial, and epicardial respectively. Intraclass correlation coefficient value of 0.87 showed good reliability in endocardial LS, and moderate reliability with values of 0.71, 0.70, and 0.64 in endocardial, midcardial, and epicardial CS, respectively (all p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS CMR-FT is a viable technique for CMVO evaluation in STEMI patients. Endocardial LS showed good reliability for CMR-FT. STEMI patients can undergo LS-STE to assess the CMVO before PPCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) circumferential and longitudinal strain provide important insight into LV mechanics and function, each contributing to volumetric changes throughout the cardiac cycle. We sought to explore this strain-volume relationship in more detail, by mathematically integrating circumferential and longitudinal strain and strain rate to predict LV volume and volumetric rates of change. METHODS Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging from 229 participants from the Alberta HEART Study (46 healthy controls, 77 individuals at risk for developing heart failure [HF], 70 patients with diagnosed HF with preserved ejection fraction [HFpEF], and 36 patients with diagnosed HF with reduced ejection fraction [HFrEF]) were evaluated. LV volume was assessed by the method of disks and strain/strain rate were assessed by CMR feature tracking. RESULTS Integrating endocardial circumferential and longitudinal strain provided a close approximation of LV ejection fraction (EFStrain), when compared to gold-standard volumetric assessment (EFVolume: r = 0.94, P < 0.0001). Likewise, integrating circumferential and longitudinal strain rate provided a close approximation of peak ejection and peak filling rates (PERStrain and PFRStrain, respectively) compared to their gold-standard volume-time equivalents (PERVolume, r = 0.73, P < 0.0001 and PFRVolume, r = 0.78, P < 0.0001, respectively). Moreover, each integrated strain measure differentiated patients across the HF continuum (all P < 0.01), with the HFrEF group having worse EFStrain, PERStrain, and PFRStrain compared to all other groups, and HFpEF having less favorable EFStrain and PFRStrain compared to both at-risk and control groups. CONCLUSIONS The data herein establish the theoretical framework for integrating discrete strain components into volumetric measurements across the cardiac cycle, and highlight the potential benefit of this approach for differentiating patients along the heart failure continuum.

Abstract
There is an increasing interest in the role of echocardiography in the evaluation of primary microvascular angina, which is attributed to primary coronary microvascular dysfunction. Valid echocardiographic techniques are expected to facilitate the diagnosis and follow-up of these patients and would be valuable for research purposes and therapy evaluation. However, adequate echocardiographic data are lacking, and the interpretation of the limited available literature is hindered by the previous addition of microvascular angina under more inclusive entities, such as cardiac syndrome X. In experienced hands, the assessment of primary coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with suspected primary microvascular angina, using multiple echocardiographic techniques is feasible, relatively inexpensive, and safe. Exclusion of obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease is, however, a prerequisite for diagnosis. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography, routine stress echocardiography, and speckle-tracking echocardiography indirectly assess primary coronary microvascular dysfunction by evaluating potential impairment in myocardial function and lack diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Conversely, certain echocardiographic techniques, including Doppler-derived coronary flow velocity reserve and myocardial contrast echocardiography, assess some coronary microvascular dysfunction parameters and have exhibited diagnostic and prognostic potentials. Doppler-derived coronary flow velocity reserve is the best studied and only guideline-approved echocardiographic technique for documenting coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with suspected microvascular angina. Myocardial contrast echocardiography, by comparison, can detect heterogeneous and patchy myocardial involvement by coronary microvascular dysfunction, which is an advantage over the common practice of coronary flow velocity reserve assessment in a single vessel (commonly the left anterior descending artery) which only reflects regional microvascular function. However, there is no consensus regarding the diagnostic criteria, and expertise performing this technique is limited. Echocardiography remains underexplored and inadequately utilized in the setting of microvascular angina and coronary microvascular dysfunction. Appraisal of the current echocardiographic literature regarding coronary microvascular dysfunction and microvascular angina is important to stay current with the progress in its clinical recognition and create a basis for future research and technological advancements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between resting cardiac indices and exercise capacity in older adults was still not well understood. New developments in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enable a much fuller assessment of cardiac characteristics. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS To assess the association between exercise capacity and specific aspects of resting cardiac structure, function, and tissue. STUDY TYPE Cross-sectional study. POPULATION A total of 112 well-functioning older adults (mean age 69 years, 52 men). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE All participants underwent 3.0 T MRI, using scan protocols including balanced steady-state free precession cine sequence, modified look-locker inversion recovery, and T2-prepared single-shot balanced steady-state free precession. ASSESSMENT Demographic and geriatric characteristics were collected. Blood samples were assayed for lipid and glucose related biomarkers. All participants performed a symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test to achieve peakVO2 . Cardiac MRI parameters were measured with semi-automatic software by S.Y., an 18-year experienced radiologist. STATISTICAL TESTS Demographic, geriatric characteristics and MR measurements were compared among quartiles of peakVO2, with different methods according to the data type. Spearman's partial correlation and least absolute shrinkage selection operator regression were performed to select significant MR features associated with peakVO2 . Mediation effect analysis was conducted to test any indirect connection between age and peakVO2 . A two-sided P value of <0.05 was defined statistical significance. RESULTS Epicardial fat volume, left atrial volume indexed to height, right ventricular end-systolic volume indexed to body surface area and global circumferential strain (GCS) were correlated with peakVO2 (regression coefficients were -0.040, -0.093, 0.127, and 0.408, respectively). Mediation analysis showed that the total effect of peakVO2 change was 43.6% from the change of age. The proportion of indirect effect from epicardial fat volume and GCS were 11.8% and 15.1% in total effect, respectively. DATA CONCLUSION PeakVO2 was associated with epicardial fat volume, left atrial volume, right ventricular volume and GCS of left ventricle. EVIDENCE LEVEL 4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 5.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a leading cause of ischemic heart disease. Over the past few decades, considerable progress has been made with respect to research on CMD. The present study summarized the current research hotspots and trends on CMD by applying a bibliometric approach. METHODS Relevant publications between 2002 and 2022 were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection. Visualization network maps of countries, institutions, authors, and co-cited authors were built using VOSviewer. CiteSpace was used for keyword analysis and the construction of a dual-map overlay of journals and a timeline view of co-cited references. RESULTS 1539 CMD-related publications were extracted for bibliometric analysis. The annual publications generally showed an upward trend. The United States of America was the most prolific country, with 515 publications (33.5%). Camici P. G. was the most influential author, whereas the European Heart Journal, Circulation, and Journal of the American College of Cardiology were the most authoritative journals. Research hotspot analysis revealed that endothelial dysfunction as well as reduced nitric oxide production or bioavailability played critical roles in CMD development. Positron emission tomography was the most widely used imaging method for diagnosis. In addition, microvascular angina, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and heart failure have attracted much attention as the main clinical implications. Furthermore, international standards for CMD diagnosis and management may be the future research directions. CONCLUSIONS This study offers a comprehensive view about the hotspots and development trends of CMD, which can assist subsequent researchers and guide future directions.

Abstract
Background Coronary microvascular obstruction (CMVO) is closely associated with poor prognosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. However, data showing the comparison between cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) and speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) combined with low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (LDDSE) in evaluating CMVO was scarcely available. We aimed to explore and compare the predictive value between CMR-FT and STE+LDDSE in detecting CMVO. Methods Sixty-one STEMI patients were executed cardiac magnetic resonance and echocardiography within the first 5–7 days after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The myocardial strain analysis was performed in STE, STE+LDDSE, and CMR-FT, and strain parameters included radial strain (RS), circumferential strain (CS), and longitudinal strain (LS). ROC curves were performed to predict infarcted myocardium segments with CMVO. Results Finally, 324 infarcted myocardium segments were analyzed, including 100 infarcted segments with CMVO and 224 segments without CMVO by the gold standard assessment of late gadolinium-enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-CMR). The results showed that CS was generally superior to RS and LS in identifying CMVO. CS in CMR-FT facilitated the detection of CMVO, with a sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of 78.00%, 81.25%, and 80.25%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CS in STE combined with LDDSE were better than STE alone (76.00% vs 60.00%, 79.91% vs 64.29%, and 78.70% vs 62.96%, P < 0.05). In addition, CMR-FT is not superior to STE+LDDSE for detection of CMVO (P > 0.05). Conclusion Low-dose dobutamine can improve the clinical value of STE for evaluating CMVO in STEMI patients. Compared with CMR-FT, STE+LDDSE might be a better choice for STEMI patients because of its safety, convenience, and low-cost.

Abstract
Based on conventional cine sequences of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), feature tracking (FT) is an emerging tissue tracking technique that evaluates myocardial motion and deformation quantitatively by strain, strain rate, torsion, and dyssynchrony. It has been widely accepted in modern literature that strain analysis can offer incremental information in addition to classic global and segmental functional analysis. Furthermore, CMR-FT facilitates measurement of all cardiac chambers, including the relatively thin-walled atria and the right ventricle, which has been a difficult measurement to obtain with the reference standard technique of myocardial tagging. CMR-FT objectively quantifies cardiovascular impairment and characterizes myocardial function in a novel way through direct assessment of myocardial fiber deformation. The purpose of this review is to discuss the current status of clinical applications of myocardial strain by CMR-FT in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. KEY POINTS: • CMR-FT is of great value for differential diagnosis and provides incremental value for evaluating the progression and severity of diseases. • CMR-FT guides the early diagnosis of various cardiovascular diseases and provides the possibility for the early detection of myocardial impairment and additional information regarding subclinical cardiac abnormalities. • Direct assessment of myocardial fiber deformation using CMR-FT has the potential to provide prognostic information incremental to common clinical and CMR risk factors.

Abstract
Aims Women are disproportionally impacted by ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA), and such women are at increased risk of developing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), however the mechanisms linking these conditions remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to determine whether ultra-high sensitivity cardiac troponin I (u-hscTnI), an indicator of cardiomyocyte injury, is associated with abnormalities in myocardial perfusion and left ventricular (LV) structure and function in women with INOCA. Methods 327 women with INOCA enrolled in the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation-Coronary Vascular Dysfunction (WISE-CVD) study underwent vasodilator stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) and u-hscTnI measurements (Simoa HD-1 Analyzer, Quanterix Corporation). Multivariable linear regression was used to evaluate associations between u-hscTnI concentrations and myocardial perfusion (MPRI), LV mass index and feature-tracking derived strain measures of LV function. Results u-hscTnI concentrations were quantifiable in 100% of the cohort and ranged from 0.004 to 79.6 pg/mL. In adjusted models, u-hscTnI was associated with LV mass index (+2.03; 95% CI 1.17, 2.89; p < 0.01) and early diastolic radial strain rate (SR) (+0.13; 95% CI 0.01, 0.25; p = 0.03), early diastolic circumferential SR (-0.04; 95% CI -0.08, 0.002; p = 0.06) and early diastolic longitudinal SR (-0.03; 95% CI -0.07, 0.002; p = 0.06). u-hscTnI was not associated with MPRI (p = 0.39) in adjusted models. Conclusion Together, these findings support cardiomyocyte injury as a putative pathway towards adverse LV remodeling and dysfunction; however, further research is needed to define the specific mechanism(s) driving myocellular injury in INOCA.

Abstract
Ischemia with non-obstructive coronary artery (INOCA) is a blind spot of coronary artery disease (CAD). Such patients are often reassured but offered no specific care, that lead to a heightened risk of adverse cerebrovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is proven to correlate independently with CAD and its severity, but it is unknown whether EAT is a specific and sensitive indicator of INOCA. This review focuses on the INOCA epidemiology and related factors, as well as the association between EAT.

Abstract
Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is increasingly diagnosed owing to the emergence of noninvasive imaging and improved awareness. Clinical penetrance of pathogenic alleles is not complete and therefore there is a large cohort of asymptomatic transthyretin variant carriers. Screening strategies, monitoring, and treatment of subclinical ATTR-CA requires further study. Perhaps the most important translational triumph has been the development of effective therapies that have emerged from a biological understanding of ATTR-CA pathophysiology. These include recently proven strategies of transthyretin protein stabilization and silencing of transthyretin production. Data on neurohormonal blockade in ATTR-CA are limited, with the primary focus of medical therapy on judicious fluid management. Atrial fibrillation is common and requires anticoagulation owing to the propensity for thrombus formation. Although conduction disease and ventricular arrhythmias frequently occur, little is known regarding optimal management. Finally, aortic stenosis and ATTR-CA frequently coexist, and transcatheter valve replacement is the preferred treatment approach.

Abstract
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is a useful non-invasive radiation-free imaging modality for the management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). CMR cine imaging provides the “gold standard” assessment of ventricular function, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) provides useful data for the diagnosis and extent of myocardial scar and viability, while stress imaging is an established technique for the detection of myocardial perfusion defects indicating ischemia. Beyond its role in the diagnosis of CAD, CMR allows accurate risk stratification of patients with established CAD. This review aims to summarize the data regarding the role of CMR in the contemporary management of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease.
