Myocardial fibrosis (MF) is defined as excessive production and deposition of extra-cellular
matrix (ECM) proteins that result in pathologic myocardial remodeling. Three types of MF …

BACKGROUND: Randomized trials in obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) have
largely shown no prognostic benefit from coronary revascularization. Although there are …

Rationale: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful diagnostic technology by
providing high-resolution imaging. Although MRI is sufficiently valued in its resolving …

Background and Objectives: Dark-blood late gadolinium enhancement has been shown to
be a reliable cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) method for assessing viability and …

Recent technical innovation enables faster and more reliable cardiac magnetic resonance
(CMR) imaging than before. Artificial intelligence is used in improving image resolution, fast …

Background Inflammation in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an
important contributor to both acute myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury after primary …

B 0 field inhomogeneity is a long-lasting issue for Cardiac MRI (CMR) in high-field (3T and
above) scanners. The inhomogeneous B 0 fields can lead to corrupted image quality …

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has led to a diverse pattern of
myocardial injuries, including myocarditis, which is linked to adverse outcomes in patients …

Cardiac myxomas are the most common benign cardiac neoplasms. Echocardiography is
the first-line imaging modality used to analyze cardiac masses, allowing the detection of …

Ischemic Myocardial Scarring (IMS) may lead to progressive myocardial dysfunction and life-
threatening arrhythmias. While Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have advanced IMS …
