Objectives To compare cardiac computed tomography (CCT) and cardiac magnetic
resonance (CMR) for the quantitative assessment of the left ventricular (LV) trabeculated …

That the highly trabeculated ventricular walls of the developing embryos transform to the
arrangement during the fetal stages, when the mural architecture is dominated by the …

excessive trabeculation. The heart size and function are still typically determined by two-
dimensional cine imaging and not by free-breathing, three-dimensional whole-heart …

Background Over the course of time, new developments associated with the embryogenesis
of the murine heart have served to clarify the developmental processes observed in the …

Left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy is a heart disease with relevant potential
complications including heart failure, life-threatening arrhythmias, and embolic events. In …

Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a ventricular wall anomaly morphologically
characterized by numerous, excessively prominent trabeculations and deep intertrabecular …

Feature Editor Note—The relentless work of evolution has resulted in well-formed coronary
arteries. The normal and abnormal development of the coronary arteries is one of the most …

Purpose Cardiovascular disease is the main nonobstetric cause of maternal death during
pregnancy and is present in 0.5–4% of pregnancies in the western world. While …

Background As the paucity of data focusing on evaluating cardiac structure and function in
patients with or without gene mutation, this study was sought to investigate the correlation …

Abstract Left Ventricular Non Compaction (LVNC) is considered a unique cardiomyopathy
according to the American Heart Association guidelines. The genetic ethology of LVNC in …
