Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during the late phase of the Fontan procedure could be predicted by strain measurements of single ventricles using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with feature tracking (CMR-FT).Methods: One hundred adolescent patients who underwent the Fontan procedure (mean age, 21 years) were examined retrospectively with CMR-FT to assess the systemic single-ventricle function. Vertical long-axis cine imaging was divided into six myocardial segments. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) was determined by averaging the peak strain values of each of the six segments. The dyssynchrony index was defined as the standard deviation of the time to peak strain for six segments. The primary outcome was MACE, defined as cardiac death and unscheduled hospitalization.Results: MACE occurred in 18 patients during a mean follow-up of 62 months. According to the multivariate logistic regression analysis results for potential predictor variables, GLS and the dyssynchrony index are independent predictors of MACE. Patients with GLS >= 11.8% had significantly higher MACE-free rates than did those with GLS
