| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Three-dimensional (3D) tagging MRI was performed in patients with both heart failure and myocardial hypertrophy. They included hypertensive cardiomyopathy and cardiac amyloidosis. 3D tagging required only 3-breath-holds to observe the whole heart motion and strain. This technique identified some local strain disorders, which were not necessarily associated with myocardial scarring, in these diseases. 3D tagging may be valuable for identifying and qualifying the myocardial motion and strain abnormalities in the patients with heart failure and myocardial hypertrophy.
