Background: Impaired right ventricular (RV) systolic function after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with poor clinical outcomes. CMR feature tracking technique enables quantification of myocardial deformation and becomes promising method. The aim of this study was to evaluate longitudinal and transverse strain and strain rate of RV free wall in patients with acute isolated left ventricular STEMI using CMR feature tracking. Methods: A total of 38 participants (mean age 59 + 10.8 years; 60% male) were recruited into the study and underwent CMR at 1.5 Tesla (Siemens Magnetom Aera). TomTec 2D Cardiac Performance Analysis software was used to analyze mean and segmental longitudinal and transverse strain and strain rate of the RV free wall. Patients with RV myocardial infarction (LGE of RV myocardium) were excluded. Results: RV free wall longitudinal strain and strain rate parameters did not reach statistical significance. Patients with acute STEMI demonstrated lower mean RV free wall transverse strain (12.40 + 8.10% vs 21.70 + 7.32%, p 0.0001) and strain rate (1.08 + 0.33 s-1 vs 1.51 + 0.38 s-1, p 0.001) than controls. We also performed segmental analysis. Transverse strain was significantly impaired in the basal (15.52 + 8.81% vs 24.52 + 11.29%, p 0.03), mid (11.16 + 8.34% vs 18,21 + 7.57%, p 0.02) and apical (10.52 + 11.53% vs 22.37 + 10.33%, p 0.001) segments of RV free wall in patients with STEMI comparing with controls. Transverse strain rate was lower in the basal (0.97 + 0.44 s-1 vs 1.51 + 0.43 s-1, p 0.001) and mid (0.91 + 0.31 s-1 vs 1.36 + 0.41 s-1, p 0.01) segments in STEMI group. There was no difference between groups for apical transverse strain rate of RV free wall. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that transverse strain and strain rate of RV free wall are impaired in patients with acute isolated left ventricular STEMI while longitudinal RV systolic function remains normal.
