Cardiac dynamics are traditionally linked to a left ventricle, right ventricle, and septum
morphology, a topography that differs from the heart's five-century-old anatomic description …

Diffusion MRI provides unique information on the structure, organization, and integrity of the
myocardium without the need for exogenous contrast agents. Diffusion MRI in the heart …

Purpose In this work we present a dual-phase diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technique that
incorporates a correction scheme for the cardiac material strain, based on 3D myocardial …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging provides important biomarkers for the early
diagnosis of many cardiovascular diseases and has been reported to reveal phenome-wide …

Background: In the era of increasingly successful corrective interventions in patients with
congenital heart disease (CHD), global and regional myocardial remodeling are emerging …

The 3D microarchitecture of the cardiac muscle underlies the mechanical and electrical
properties of the heart. Cardiomyocytes are arranged helically through the depth of the wall …

Objective To determine whether abnormal global, transverse, and longitudinal ventricular
contractility of the heart in fetuses with an estimated fetal weight< 10th centile is present …

Background While individual cardiac myocytes only have a limited ability to shorten, the
heart efficiently pumps a large volume-fraction thanks to a cell organization in a complex 3D …
