Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is an increasingly frequent form
and is estimated to be the dominant form of HF. On the other hand, HFpEF is a syndrome …

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a major global public health
problem. Diagnosis of HFpEF is still challenging and built based on the comprehensive …

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 …

Subclinical alterations in myocardial structure and function occur early during the natural
disease course. In contrast, clinically overt signs and symptoms occur during late phases …

Background Current cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH) focuses on measures of ventricular function and coupling. Objectives …

Background Left ventricular (LV) strain measurements can be derived using cardiac MRI
from routinely acquired balanced steady‐state free precession (bSSFP) cine images …

Abstract Purpose of Review Cardiac magnetic resonance-feature-tracking (CMR-FT)-based
deformation analyses are key tools of cardiovascular imaging and applications in heart …

Background Ageing and insulin resistant states such as diabetes mellitus frequently coexist
and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease development among older adults. Here we …

Objective: To demonstrate differences in cardiovascular structure and function between
diabetic and non-diabetic older adults. To investigate associations between acyl-carnitines …

Background Parameters of myocardial deformation may provide improved insights into right
ventricular (RV) dysfunction. We quantified RV longitudinal myocardial function using a fast …
