Based on conventional cine sequences of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), feature
tracking (FT) is an emerging tissue tracking technique that evaluates myocardial motion and …

Objectives This meta-analysis evaluates assessment of pulmonary arterial hypertension
(PAH), with a focus on clinical worsening and mortality. Background Cardiac magnetic …

Right ventricular (RV) systolic function has an important role in the prediction of adverse
outcomes, including mortality, in a wide range of cardiovascular (CV) conditions. Because of …

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 Precapillary pulmonary hypertension (precPH) patients have altered right atrial
(RA) function and right ventricular (RV) diastolic stiffness. Objectives This study aimed to …

The right atrium (RA) is the cardiac chamber that has been least well studied. Due to recent
advances in interventional cardiology, the need for greater understanding of the RA …

The functional relevance of right atrial (RA) function in pulmonary hypertension (PH)
remains incompletely understood. The purpose of this study was to explore the correlation of …

The management of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has significantly evolved over
the last decades in the wake of more sensitive diagnostics and specialized clinical programs …

Over the last 15 years, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has
progressively evolved to become an indispensable tool in cardiology. It is a non-invasive …

Background: Left and right atrium (LA and RA) exert an essential and dynamic role in
ventricular filling and hence affect heart performance. Strain quantification has been …
