Abstract
Strain imaging, performed with echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), is a noninvasive technique for detecting subclinical myocardial dysfunction across the heart failure spectrum, in various cardiomyopathies, and within the field of cardio-oncology. By quantifying myocardial deformation, strain enhances diagnosis, risk stratification, and treatment monitoring beyond traditional measures such as ejection fraction. While echocardiography remains the most accessible modality, ongoing advances in CMR techniques-including incorporation of artificial intelligence-promise to improve standardization, reproducibility, and clinical integration of strain imaging in the management of heart failure and cardiovascular care.
