Cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature-tracking analysis (CMR-FT) provides a quantitative assessment of myocardial contraction with potential for diagnostic and prognostic ability in a wide spectrum of diseases. Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by apical displacement of the tricuspid valve. However, it is also considered a disorder of development affecting the global right ventricular myocardium. Aim of our study is to describe the complex contractile mechanics of the functional right ventricle (RV) in patients affected by EA through CMR-FT.
