ABSTRACT
Computed tomography (CT)-derived three-dimensional maximum principal strain (MP-strain) can provide incremental value to coronary CT angiography for cardiac dysfunction assessment with high diagnostic performance in patients with myocardial infarction. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) measured using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) is more sensitive than left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) for detecting early myocardial dysfunction. We aimed to compare CT-derived MP-strain with each of 2D-STE-derived strains (i.e., longitudinal, circumferential, and radial strains), and identify the major determinants of CT-derived MP-strain among 2D-STE-derived strains. We studied 51 patients who underwent cardiac CT and echocardiography. CT images were reconstructed at every 5% (0-95%) of the RR interval. A dedicated workstation was used to analyze CT-derived MP-strain on the 16-segment model. We calculated CT-derived global MP-strain with all the 16 segments on a per patient basis. Pearson's test was used to assess correlations between CT-derived MP-strain and STE-strain at global and segmental levels. The intra-class correlation coefficient for interobserver agreement for CT-derived global MP-strain was 0.98 (95% confidence interval 0.96-0.99). The low-CT-derived global MP-strain group (≤ 0.43) had more patients with LV dysfunction than the high-CT-derived global MP-strain group (> 0.43). CT-derived global MP-strain was associated with STE-GLS (r = 0.738, P < 0.001), global circumferential strain (r = 0.646, P < 0.001), and global radial strain (r = 0.432, P = 0.001). In multivariate analysis, STE-GLS had the strongest association to CT-derived global MP-strain among three directional STE-strains and LVEF by echocardiography (standardized coefficient = - 0.527, P < 0.001). STE-GLS is a major determinant of CT-derived global MP-strain. CT-derived MP-strain may enhance the value of coronary CT angiography by adding functional information to CT-derived LVEF.
