Viral myocarditis is pathologically associated with RNA viruses such as coxsackievirus B3
(CVB3), or more recently, with SARS-CoV-2, but despite intensive research, clinically proven …

While pharmacologic stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a robust
noninvasive tool in the diagnosis and prognostication of epicardial coronary artery disease …

Prematurely born young adults who experienced neonatal oxidative injury (NOI) of the lungs
have increased incidence of cardiovascular disease. Here, we investigated the long‐term …

Background Stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) offers assessment of
