This study aims to assess the usefulness of strain‐encoded magnetic resonance (SENC) for
the quantification of myocardial deformation ('strain') in healthy volunteers and for the …

Highlights•Multimodality cardiac imaging plays a key role in the care of pediatric patients
after heart transplantation.•Alterations in diastolic functional indices become evident before …

Background: Myocardial fibrosis is a well-described histopathologic feature in heart
transplant recipients. Whether myocardial fibrosis in heart transplant recipients is …

Background The role of donor‐derived cell‐free DNA (dd‐cfDNA) in screening for cardiac
allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is unknown. We hypothesized that dd‐cfDNA correlates with …

Measurement and interpretation of cardiac troponin (cTn) is an integral part of the
management of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). 1 A rise-and-fall pattern of …

The assessment of pediatric patients after orthotropic heart transplantation (OHT) relies
heavily on non-invasive imaging. Because of the potential risks associated with cardiac …

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a leading cause of mortality after heart
transplantation. Noninvasive imaging techniques used in CAV evaluation have important …

Background Several studies have addressed the diagnostic accuracy of cardiac magnetic
resonance (CMR) to assess acute cardiac allograft rejection (ACAR) compared with …

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a challenging long-term complication of cardiac
transplantation and remains a leading long-term cause of graft failure, re-transplantation …

Background: There is a need to assess myocardial damage after radiofrequency ablation of
the pulmonary veins (PV) for persistent atrial fibrillation (PAF) in elderly patients. Objective …
