• Variations of left ventricular strain are attributable to the degree of myocardial impairment in resistant hypertensive patients. • Focal myocardial fibrosis of the left ventricle is associated with attenuated global radial strain. • Feature-tracking CMR provides additional information on the attenuation of myocardial deformation responding to long-standing high blood pressure.
