Abstract Purpose of Review Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) imposes a
significant burden on society and healthcare. The lack in efficacious therapies is likely due to …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is emerging as an important tool in the assessment of
heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This study sought to investigate the …

Abstract Purpose of the Review The purpose of this paper is to review the current knowledge
regarding imaging inflammation in cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). Recent Findings Noninvasive …

Introduction: Microvascular rarefaction, the functional reduction in perfused microvessels
and structural reduction of microvascular density, seems to be an important mechanism in …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are frequent
co-morbid conditions. In patients with symptomatic AF and preserved left ventricular ejection …

Background Myocardial steatosis and fibrosis may play a role in the pathophysiology of
heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. We therefore investigated the prognostic …

Heart failure (HF) is a heterogenous disease requiring precise diagnostics and knowledge
of pathophysiological processes. Since structural and functional imaging data are scarce we …

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a powerful and robust imaging modality
with the capability for tissue characterisation by quantifying the intrinsic magnetic properties …

Objectives The aim of this retrospective study was to explore the diagnostic potential of
various cardiac parameters in differentiating between heart failure with preserved ejection …

Background Mapping of T1 and T2 relaxation times in cardiac MRI is an invaluable tool for
the diagnosis and risk stratification of a wide spectrum of cardiac diseases. Purpose To …
