Patient-specific computer models have been developed representing a variety of aspects of
the cardiovascular system spanning the disciplines of electrophysiology, electromechanics …

Purpose of review Around 10% of the global population is born preterm (< 37 weeks'
gestation). Preterm birth is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, with …

Experimental data from human cardiac myocytes at body temperature is crucial for a
quantitative understanding of clinically relevant cardiac function and development of whole …

Cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the current gold standard for the assessment of
cardiac anatomy and function. However, it typically only acquires a set of two-dimensional …

Background Adults born very preterm have increased cardiac mass and reduced function.
We investigated whether a hypertrophic phenomenon occurs in later preterm infants and …

Background Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and end-systolic volume (ESV) remain
the main imaging biomarkers for post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) risk stratification …

Computer models of cardiac electro-mechanics (EM) show promise as an effective means
for the quantitative analysis of clinical data and, potentially, for predicting therapeutic …

METHODS: A total of 926 preterm-born infants originally took part in a randomized
controlled trial of postnatal milk-feeding regimens between 1982 and 1985 across 5 different …

Aims Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (oHCM) is characterized by dynamic
obstruction of the left ventricular (LV) outflow tract (LVOT). Although this may be mediated by …

Since the onset of computer-aided diagnosis in medical imaging, voxel-based segmentation
has emerged as the primary methodology for automatic analysis of left ventricle (LV) function …
