Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) tagging has been established as an essential
technique for measuring regional myocardial function. It allows quantification of local …

Accurate quantification and timing of regional myocardial function allows early identification
of dysfunction, and therefore becomes increasingly important for clinical risk assessment …

Displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) was developed for high-resolution
myocardial displacement mapping. Pixel phase is modulated by myocardial displacement …

Objectives: We investigated the reliability of fractional flow reserve (FFR) of nonculprit
coronary stenoses during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute myocardial …

Objectives: To identify an accurate and reproducible method to define myocardial infarct (MI)
size, we conducted a study in a closed-chest canine model of acute myocardial infarction, in …

A breath-hold two-dimensional cine magnetic resonance (MR) pulse sequence based on
displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) for quantitative myocardial motion …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of native T1
values in remote myocardium in survivors of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial …

Aims Ischaemic heart disease negatively impacts response to cardiac resynchronization
therapy (CRT), yet the impact of infarct scar burden on clinical outcomes and its interaction …

The quantitative estimation of regional cardiac deformation from three-dimensional (3-D)
image sequences has important clinical implications for the assessment of viability in the …

Background Studies in anesthetized dogs have shown that myocardial fibers shorten≈ 8%.
However, in the endocardium, shortening occurs to a much greater extent at 90° to the fiber …
