Abstract Purpose of Review Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) use in the context
of heart failure (HF) has increased over the last decade as it is able to provide detailed …

Background Hyperventilation with a subsequent breath-hold has been successfully used as
a non-pharmacological vasoactive stimulus to induce changes in myocardial oxygenation …

The presence of deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hb) results in a drop in T2 and T2* in magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), known as the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD-) effect …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) permits accurate phenotyping of many
cardiac diseases. CMR's inherent advantages are its non‐invasive nature, lack of ionizing …

Introduction In patients with chronic coronary syndromes, hyperventilation followed by
apnea has been shown to unmask myocardium susceptible to inducible deoxygenation. The …

Background Oxygenation-sensitive cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (OS-CMR)
is an emerging technique that can monitor changes in myocardial oxygenation in vivo …

Background The relationship between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and coronary blood
flow is well described. There is autoregulation within a MAP range of 60 to 140 mmHg …

Background Coronary artery disease and left ventricular hypertrophy are prevalent in the
chronic kidney disease (CKD) and renal transplant (RT) population. Advances in …

Abstract Background Oxygenation-sensitive (OS) Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
(CMR) is a promising utility in the diagnosis of heart disease. Contrast in OS-CMR images is …

Ischemic heart disease is the most common cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Although echocardiography is the backbone of cardiovascular imaging, cardiac magnetic …
