Although mortality after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) is on the decline,
the number of patients developing heart failure as a result of MI is on the rise. Apart from …

Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality and hospitalization worldwide. Cardiac fibrosis,
resulting from the excessive deposition of collagen fibers, is a common feature across the …

Quantitative myocardial and blood T 1 have recently achieved clinical utility in numerous
pathologies, as they provide non-invasive tissue characterization with the potential to …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to review randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using
cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess myocardial infarct (MI) size in reperfused …

Background The assessment of post-myocardial infarction (MI) left ventricular (LV)
remodeling by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) currently uses criteria defined by …

Background We aimed to evaluate the effect of early intravenous metoprolol treatment,
microvascular obstruction (MVO), intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) and adverse left …

Background Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has effects on the
myocardium beyond the immediate infarcted territory. However, pathophysiologic changes …

Objectives To characterize the temporal alterations in native T1 and extracellular volume
(ECV) of remote myocardium after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and to explore their …

Post-ischemic left ventricular (LV) remodeling is a biologically complex process involving
myocardial structure, LV shape, and function, beginning early after myocardial infarction (MI) …

Cardiac fibrosis is a significant component of pathological heart remodeling, yet it is not
directly targeted by existing drugs. Systems pharmacology approaches have the potential to …
