Strain represents the quantification of regional tissue deformation within a given area.
Myocardial strain has demonstrated considerable utility as an indicator for the assessment of …

Background In addition to tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and right ventricular (RV)
enlargement, patients with Ebstein anomaly are at risk for left ventricular (LV) dysfunction …

Background Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have progressive, adverse
biventricular remodeling, leading to abnormal contractile mechanics. Defining the …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance based tissue tracking (CMR-TT) was reported to
provide detailed insight into left ventricular mechanical features. However, inadequate …

Abstract Purpose Myofiber strain, Eff, is a mechanistically relevant metric of cardiac cell
shortening and is expected to be spatially uniform in healthy populations, making it a prime …

Changes in left ventricular (LV) aggregate cardiomyocyte orientation and deformation
underlie cardiac function and dysfunction. As such, in vivo aggregate cardiomyocyte …

Background: In this review, we introduce the displacement encoding with stimulated echoes
(DENSE) method for measuring myocardial dyssynchrony using cardiovascular magnetic …

Background Pediatric obesity is a growing public health problem, which is associated with
increased risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death. Left ventricular (LV) …

Myocardial strain has shown tremendous promise as a potential diagnostic tool for
characterizing ventricular function. With regards to myocardial infarction, global …

By focusing on a special type of functions that are angularly periodic with period 2π, a
relationship between two-dimensional (2-D) linear canonical transform (LCT) and linear …
