We investigated the feasibility of detecting left ventricular (LV) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) strain abnormalities using feature-tracking in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). CMR was performed in 16 patients with all groups of PH and in 13 controls. Global and regional peak circumfere...
