Abstract Purpose of Review Ischemic cardiomyopathy refers to systolic left ventricular
dysfunction in the setting of obstructive coronary artery disease and represents the most …

▪ Abstract Therapies for myocardial infarction have historically been developed by trial and
error, rather than from an understanding of the structure and function of the healing infarct …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to test how surgical ventricular restoration (SVR)
affects early and late survival in a registry of 1,198 post-anterior infarction congestive heart …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) tagging has been established as an essential
technique for measuring regional myocardial function. It allows quantification of local …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine whether a very early imaging strategy
improves the prediction of late systolic dysfunction and poor outcomes in ST-segment …

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a significant source of
morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite advances in treatment leading to a significant …

Tagged MRI provides a noninvasive way to assess the regional function of the heart. Clinical
use of myocardial strain measurements from tagged MRI requires identifying new normative …

Objectives: This study assessed the prognostic significance of remote zone native T1
alterations for the prediction of clinical events in a population with ST-segment elevation …

Background The aim of the study was to perform a feature tracking analysis on cine
magnetic resonance (MR) images to elucidate if functional measurements of the motion of …

Following myocardial infarction, the mechanical properties of the healing infarct are an
important determinant of heart function and the risk of progression to heart failure. In …
