Most patients survive acute myocardial infarction (MI). Yet this encouraging development
has certain drawbacks: heart failure (HF) prevalence is increasing and patients affected tend …

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely applied for the noninvasive
assessment of cardiac structure and function, and for tissue characterization. For more than …

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) is a novel technique for
assessing myocardial deformation and dysfunction. However, a comprehensive assessment …

Myocardial strain analysis from cinematic magnetic resonance imaging (cine-MRI) data
provides a more thorough characterization of cardiac mechanics than volumetric parameters …

Objectives The analysis of myocardial deformation using feature tracking in cardiovascular
MR allows for the assessment of global and segmental strain values. The aim of this study …

Background While multiple cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) methods provide
excellent reproducibility of global circumferential and global longitudinal strain, achieving …

Aims CMR feature tracking strain (CMR-FT) provides prognostic information. However, there
is a paucity of data in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We sought to analyze global …

Aims Sepsis‐induced cardiomyopathy is a major complication of septic shock and
contributes to its high mortality. This pilot study investigated myocardial tissue differentiation …

Background Left ventricular (LV) strain measurements can be derived using cardiac MRI
from routinely acquired balanced steady‐state free precession (bSSFP) cine images …

Background As a noninvasive tool, myocardial deformation imaging may facilitate the early
detection of cardiac dysfunction. However, normal reference ranges of myocardial strain and …
