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

The left atrium (LA) has a crucial function in maintaining left ventricular filling, which is
responsible for about one-third of all cardiac filling. A growing body of evidence shows that …

Motion analysis is used in computer vision to understand the behaviour of moving objects in
sequences of images. Optimizing the interpretation of dynamic biological systems requires …

Myocardial strain is a measure of myocardial deformation, which is a more sensitive imaging
biomarker of myocardial disease than the commonly used ventricular ejection fraction …

Aims Adipose tissue and inflammation may play a role in the pathophysiology of patients
with heart failure (HF) with mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction. We therefore …

Aims Following the peak of the UK COVID-19 epidemic, a new multisystem inflammatory
condition with significant cardiovascular effects emerged in young people. We utilized …

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE)
is a key diagnostic tool in the differential diagnosis between non-ischemic cause of cardiac …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is an effective method for noninvasively
imaging the heart which in the last two decades impressively enhanced spatial and temporal …

Aims A multitude of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) techniques are used for myocardial
strain assessment; however, studies comparing them are limited. We sought to compare …

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) is a novel technique for
assessing myocardial deformation and dysfunction. However, a comprehensive assessment …
