Myocardial deformation imaging is a very attractive clinical tool for the assessment of right
ventricular (RV) systolic performance, providing incremental diagnostic and prognostic …

Right ventricular (RV) systolic function has an important role in the prediction of adverse
outcomes, including mortality, in a wide range of cardiovascular (CV) conditions. Because of …

Background: Despite the ongoing global pandemic, the impact of COVID-19 on cardiac
structure and function is still not completely understood. Myocarditis is a rare but potentially …

Objectives Cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) is an emerging
technique for assessing myocardial strain with valuable diagnostic and prognostic potential …

Abstract Purpose of Review Cardiac magnetic resonance-feature-tracking (CMR-FT)-based
deformation analyses are key tools of cardiovascular imaging and applications in heart …

Background Recent evidence underlined the importance of right (RV) involvement in
suspected myocarditis. We aim to analyze the possible incremental prognostic value from …

(1) Background: Right ventricular (RV) strain parameters derived from the analysis of the
tricuspid annular displacement (TAD) are emergent two-dimensional speckle tracking …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is currently the gold standard for evaluating right
ventricular (RV) function, which is critical in patients with pulmonary hypertension. CMR …

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), classified as group 4 pulmonary
hypertension (PH), is caused by stenosis and obstruction of the pulmonary arteries by …

Background Myocardial deformation parameters have been shown to yield early detection of
pathological changes in chronic heart failure (CHF). Aim of our study was to evaluate …
