Computational models have become a fundamental tool in cardiac research. Models are
evolving to cover multiple scales and physical mechanisms. They are moving towards …

Cardiac anatomy plays a crucial role in determining cardiac function. However, there is a
poor understanding of how specific and localised anatomical changes affect different …

Background High reproducibility of LV mass and volume measurement from cine
cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been shown within single centers. However …

Background Environmental metagenomic analysis is typically accomplished by assigning
taxonomy and/or function from whole genome sequencing or 16S amplicon sequences …

The burden of heart disease is rapidly worsening due to the increasing prevalence of
obesity and diabetes. Data sharing and open database resources for heart health …

Statistical shape modeling is a powerful tool for visualizing and quantifying geometric and
functional patterns of the heart. After myocardial infarction (MI), the left ventricle typically …

Background Although left ventricular cardiac geometric indices such as size and sphericity
characterize adverse remodeling and have prognostic value in symptomatic patients, little is …

Myocardial infarction leads to changes in the geometry (remodeling) of the left ventricle (LV)
of the heart. The degree and type of remodeling provides important diagnostic information …

Objective To investigate whether sphericity volume index (SVI), an indicator of left ventricular
(LV) remodelling, predicts incident cardiovascular events (coronary heart disease, CHD; all …

Abstract Aims Statistical shape models (SSMs) of cardiac anatomy provide a new approach
for analysis of cardiac anatomy. In adults, specific cardiac morphologies associate with …
