Compared to STE, CMR-FT analysis provided a more comprehensive and complementary biventricular strain evaluation that resulted similar in "confirmed" and "suspected" AM with normal LVEF. Conversely, mostly biventricular GCS was significantly reduced in up to 20% of patients, compared to healthy controls.
