Adverse cardiac remodelling is the main determinant of patient prognosis in degenerative
valvular heart disease (VHD). However, to give an indication for valvular intervention …

Valvular regurgitation is common in developed countries with an increasing prevalence due
to the aging of the population and more accurate diagnostic imaging methods …

Whether sex differences exist in the cardiac remodeling related to aortic regurgitation (AR) is
unclear. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the current non-invasive reference standard …

Aims We aimed to characterize the substrate of T-wave inversion (TWI) using cardiac
magnetic resonance (CMR) and the association between diffuse fibrosis and ventricular …

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvular disorder that can be associated with mitral
regurgitation (MR), heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Given …

Alteration in myocardial tissue, such as myocardial fibrosis, edema, inflammation, or
accumulation with amyloid, lipids, or iron, has an important role in the cardiac remodeling …

Background Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvulopathy, with a subset
developing sudden cardiac death or cardiac arrest. Complex ventricular ectopy (ComVE) is …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of morbidity/mortality worldwide.
Early diagnosis is the key to improve CVD prognosis, and cardiovascular imaging plays a …

Background: The noninvasive assessment of myocardial work (MW) allows for the
evaluation of left ventricular (LV) performance by considering the effect of LV afterload. This …

Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) was first described in the 1960s, and it is usually a benign
condition. However, a subtype of patients are known to have a higher incidence of …
