Based on conventional cine sequences of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), feature
tracking (FT) is an emerging tissue tracking technique that evaluates myocardial motion and …

The left atrium (LA) has a crucial function in maintaining left ventricular filling, which is
responsible for about one-third of all cardiac filling. A growing body of evidence shows that …

Background Limited data exist to characterize novel measures of left atrial (LA) structure and
function in older adults without prevalent heart failure (HF). Objectives The aim was to …

Background Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) may have
elevated left ventricular filling pressure with exercise (LVFP-ex), despite normal LVFP at rest …

Background There is increasing recognition that left atrial (LA) function is prognostically
important in cardiovascular disease. LA strain is a sensitive parameter to describe complex …

Background The role of the dysfunction of left atrium in the occurrence and development of
cardiovascular disease has been gradually recognized. We aim to compare the impact on …

Left atrial (LA) imaging is still not routinely used for diagnosis and risk stratification, although
recent studies have emphasized its importance as an imaging biomarker. Cardiovascular …

Systemic light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is characterized by the aggregation of misfolded
immunoglobulin light chain, predominantly infiltrating in the heart, including left atrium (LA) …

This study proposes a fully automated approach for the left atrial segmentation from routine
cine long-axis cardiac magnetic resonance image sequences using deep convolutional …

Abstract Objectives Cardiac involvement in Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) results in
myocardial lipid depositions. An early diagnosis can maximize therapeutic benefit. Thus, this …
