The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been identified as a reliable alternative biomarker
of insulin resistance (IR). Recently, a considerable number of studies have provided robust …

Cardiac MRI plays an important role in the evaluation of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs),
including ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, valvular disease, congenital disease …

Objectives This study sought to evaluate the effects of empagliflozin on extracellular volume
(ECV) in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary artery disease …

Progress in precision medicine is limited by insufficient knowledge of transcriptomic or
proteomic features in involved tissues that define pathobiological differences between …

Background Photon-counting detector (PCD) CT provides comprehensive spectral data with
every acquisition, but studies evaluating myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) …

Myocardial fibrosis, seen in ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies, is associated with
adverse cardiac outcomes. Noninvasive imaging plays a key role in early identification and …

Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy consists in an increased LV wall thickness. LV hypertrophy
can be either secondary, in response to pressure or volume overload, or primary, ie not …

Noninvasive cardiac imaging has rapidly evolved during the last decade owing to
improvements in computed tomography (CT)–based technologies, among which we …

Objectives This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the association of
diabetes and glycemic control with myocardial fibrosis (MF). Background MF is associated …

The current era has seen major advances in myocardial imaging. We are now able to
assess cardiac anatomy, function, tissue composition and disease activity across a wide …
