Abstract

We aimed to evaluate the role of two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2DSTI) in detecting early changes of myocardial deformation in patients affected by thalassemia major (TM) and its relation with myocardial iron overload (MIO) detected by T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). We studied 28 TM patients (15 males, 37.4 ± 10 years). All patients underwent CMR and echocardiography in the same day. Segmental and global T2* values were measured. Values of global longitudinal strain (GLS) were derived from the three apical views, while radial and circumferential strain were obtained as average strain from the short axis views at basal, mid and apical level. Six patients (21.4%) showed significant MIO (global heart T2* < 20 ms). GLS showed a significant correlation with T2* values (R = −0.49; P = 0.001) and it was significantly lower in patients with a significant MIO than in those with no significant MIO (−18.3 ± 2 vs. −21.3 ± 2.7, P = 0.02). No significant difference was found for radial and circumferential strain in relation to the severity of MIO. Patients with impaired GLS (<−19.5%) had a significant higher risk of showing significant MIO (Odds-ratio-OR = 17; 95%). GLS is related with global T2* in TM patients. Moreover, GLS can identify TM patients with severe MIO detected by CMR.
