The objective assessments of left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) ejection fractions
(EFs) are the main important tasks of routine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) …

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Early
diagnostic markers are gaining popularity for better patient care disease outcomes. There is …

Background Newer 2D strain software has a potential to assess layer-specific strain.
However, normal reference values for layer-specific strain have not been established. We …

Background In patients with cancer receiving potentially cardio-toxic chemotherapy,
measurements of left ventricular (LV) circumferential or longitudinal strain are often used …

Background Interstitial fibrosis, myocardial fiber disarray and non-uniform shortening are
common histological features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The degree of LV …

Objectives To investigate the reproducibility of regional and global strain and strain rate (SR)
parameters of both ventricles and to determine sample sizes for all investigated strain and …

Objectives To investigate the diagnostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) feature-
tracking (FT) myocardial strain analysis in patients with suspected acute myocarditis and its …

Background Patients with single ventricle (SV) circulations are at risk for ventricular
dysfunction. This study investigates whether there is evidence of increased myocardial …

Purpose To assess the utility of established functional markers versus two additional
functional markers derived from standard cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MR) images …

Clinically, assessment of myocardial function is essential in patients with amyloid light-chain
cardiac amyloidosis (AL-CA) to predict outcome and determine therapeutic approach. The …
