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 …

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a pathophysiological condition of cardiac structure and
function changes in diabetic patients without coronary artery disease, hypertension, and …

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) is a novel technique for
assessing myocardial deformation and dysfunction. However, a comprehensive assessment …

Background Previous studies reported that there was right ventricular (RV) systolic
dysfunction in patients with hypertension. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of …

Background To investigate the difference of right ventricular (RV) structural and functional
alteration in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) with preserved left ventricular ejection …

Background Diastolic dysfunction is traditionally believed to be the first subclinical
manifestation of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), leading to systolic dysfunction and then …

Abstract Purpose of Review Cardiac magnetic resonance-feature-tracking (CMR-FT)-based
deformation analyses are key tools of cardiovascular imaging and applications in heart …

Background Hypertension (HTN) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are both associated
with left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) structural and functional abnormalities; however …

Right ventricular remodeling has been neglected in patients with arterial hypertension as all
studies have concentrated on the left ventricle and left atrial-ventricular and ventricular …

Feature-tracking cardiac magnetic resonance (FT-CMR), with the ability to quantify
myocardial deformation, has a unique role in the evaluation of subclinical myocardial …
