Quantification of Left Atrial Strain in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy Using Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Feature Tracking

Left atrial (LA) dysfunction is involved in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Multiparametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) strain imaging is a feasible and reproducible tool for examining global and regional LA functions, as well as left ventricular (LV) function in IIM patients.
