Purpose: In recent years, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been used to assess LV
diastolic function. In this systematic review, studies were identified where CMR parameters …

Background Left atrial (LA) dysfunction is associated with morbidity and mortality. To the
knowledge of the authors, the relationship of LA strain to long-term prognosis in participants …

Background Abnormal left atrial (LA) function is a marker of cardiac dysfunction and adverse
cardiovascular outcome, but is difficult to assess, and hence not, routinely quantified. We …

Reference values on atrial and ventricular strain from cardiovascular magnetic resonance
(CMR) are essential in identifying patients with impaired atrial and ventricular function …

Background The transition of right ventricle (RV) from a compensated to decompensated
state contributes to survival in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). This study …

Background Atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) is an indicator for systolic and
diastolic function and accounts for 60% of the left ventricular, and 80% of the right ventricular …

Background Recently, a novel left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) has been
introduced providing prognostic value to predict cardiovascular events beyond common risk …

Background Mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) and left ventricular (LV) early
diastolic velocity (e') are key metrics of systolic and diastolic function, but not often measured …

Objectives In some cardiac pathologies, impairment of left ventricular (LV) longitudinal
function may precede reduction in LV ejection fraction. This study investigates the …

Background Parameters of myocardial deformation may provide improved insights into right
ventricular (RV) dysfunction. We quantified RV longitudinal myocardial function using a fast …
