Myocardial fibrosis (MF), a non-reversible process, is a crucial pathological manifestation in patients with end-stage cardiovascular diseases and closely related to cardiac adverse events. Early quantitative analysis of MF, using strain imaging techniques, plays an important role in risk stratification, clinical decision, and improvement in prognosis, by detecting MF early in cardiovascular diseases.
Myocardial fibrosis (MF) is a non-reversible process that occurs following acute or chronic myocardial damage. MF worsens myocardial deformation, remodels the heart and raises myocardial stiffness, and is a crucial pathological manifestation in patients with end-stage cardiovascular diseases and closely related to cardiac adverse events. Therefore, early quantitative analysis of MF plays an important role in risk stratification, clinical decision, and improvement in prognosis. With the advent and development of strain imaging modalities in recent years, MF may be detected early in cardiovascular diseases. This review summarizes the clinical usefulness of strain imaging techniques in the non-invasive assessment of MF.
