In cardiovascular magnetic resonance, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) has become the
cornerstone of myocardial tissue characterization. It is widely used in clinical routine to …

Background: There is a major unmet need to identify high-risk patients in myocarditis.
Although decreasing cardiac and inflammatory markers are commonly interpreted as …

Aim The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical application of Compressed
SENSE accelerated single-breath-hold LGE with 3D isotropic resolution compared to …

Background Segmented phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) cardiovascular magnetic
resonance (CMR) sequences are reference standard for non-invasive evaluation of …

Purpose Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by a heterogeneous
morphology and variable prognosis. A mismatch between left ventricular mass (LVM) and …

Background Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging is well validated for the diagnosis
and quantification of myocardial infarction (MI). 2D LGE imaging involves multiple breath …

Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with an increased risk of
adverse cardiac events. Beyond classic risk factors, relative myocardial ischaemia and …

Background Cardiac involvement of amyloidosis leads to left-ventricular (LV) wall thickening
with progressive heart failure requiring rehospitalization. Cardiovascular magnetic …

We compared a fast, single breath-hold three dimensional LGE sequence (3D LGE) with an
established two dimensional multi breath-hold sequence (2D LGE) and evaluated image …

Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the number one cause of mortality
worldwide; improving diagnosis and treatment is a priority. Multi-parametric cardiovascular …
