Background-Tagged MRI of the heart is difficult to implement clinically because of the lack of fast analytical techniques. We investigated the accuracy of harmonic phase (HARP) imaging for rapid quantification of myocardial strains and for detailed analysis of left ventricular (LV) function during dobutamine stimulation.Methods and Results-Tagged MRI was performed in 10 volunteers at rest and during 5 to 20 mu g(-1) . kg(-1) . min(-1) dobutamine and in 9 postinfarct patients at rest. We compared 2D myocardial strains (circumferential shortening, Ecc; maximal shortening, E-2; and E-2, direction) as assessed by a conventional technique and by HARP. Full quantitative analysis of the data was 10 times faster with HARP. For pooled data, the regression coefficient was r=0.93 for each strain (P
