Magnetic resonance tagging is used to evaluate the dynamic deformation of lines or grids
superimposed on the myocardium during the cardiac cycle. From these data, a specific …

The developmental history of the gadolinium chelates, which spans 30 years, is described,
focusing, in part, on the seminal work with each of the major agents in use today. By …

Recent reports provide indirect evidence of myocardial injury and ventricular dysfunction
after prolonged exercise. However, existing data is conflicting and lacks direct verification of …

Background Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has effects on the
myocardium beyond the immediate infarcted territory. However, pathophysiologic changes …

Although major pathogenesis mechanisms of heart failure (HF) are well established, the
significance of early (mal) adaptive structural changes of cardiomyocytes preceding …

Objectives: To develop cardiac magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) for noninvasively
measuring left ventricular (LV) pressure-volume (PV) work. Material and Methods: The …

Purpose To evaluate the relationship between myocardial infarction (MI myocardial
infarction) severity at magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and regional and global …

Background Postinfarction adverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling is strongly associated
with heart failure events. Conicity index, sphericity index and LV global functional index …

Right ventricular (RV) structure and function is of substantial importance in a broad variety of
clinical conditions. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and computed tomography (CT) …

Background Because of the complexities with in-vivo cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (DTI),
ex-vivo formalin-fixed specimens are used to investigate cardiac remodeling in diseases …
