Schematic illustration of LV functional parameters by CMR. a LVEF assessment on end-systolic and end-diastolic short-axis cine images. b Three-dimensional GLS was assessed using feature tracking. c MAPSE (end-systolic to end-diastolic plane, yellow arrows) and d LAS evaluation on 4-chamber cine views (distance between the origins of the mitral leaflets and the epicardial border of the LV apex, yellow arrows). LV left ventricular, CMR cardiac magnetic resonance, LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, GLS global longitudinal strain, MAPSE mitral annular plane systolic excursion, LAS fast manual long-axis strain
