Aims Concentric hypertrophy following pressure-overload is linked to preserved systolic
function but impaired diastolic function, and is an important substrate for heart failure with …

Lung diseases with hypoxia are complicated by pulmonary hypertension, leading to heart
failure and death. No pharmacological treatment exists. Increased proinflammatory …

The present study systemically investigated the influence of gated/non-gated sequences,
velocity encoding (VENC), and spatial resolution on blood flow, wall shear stress (WSS) …

Purpose To study the diastolic functions using color Doppler M-mode (CDMM) for
noninvasive analysis of the intraventricular pressure difference (IVPD) in diabetic rats …

Ultrasound examination of the heart is a cornerstone of clinical evaluation of patients with
established or suspected cardiovascular conditions. Advancements in ultrasound imaging …

Myocardial velocities carry important diagnostic information in a range of cardiac diseases,
and play an important role in diagnosing and grading left ventricular diastolic dysfunction …

Phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) is a noninvasive approach that can
quantify flow-related parameters such as blood flow. Previous studies have shown that …

Purpose To test a magnetic resonance (MR) scanning protocol as a noninvasive tool to
determine hepatic hemodynamics and to assess the degree of liver fibrosis in an animal …
