Highlights•Supra-normal left ventricular ejection fraction is a new concept possibly
associated with U-shaped prognosis.•Heart failure with supra-normal ejection fraction …

Despite remarkable progress in therapeutic drugs, morbidity, and mortality for heart failure
(HF) remains high in developed countries. HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) now …

Diastolic filling of the ventricle is a complex interplay of volume and pressure, contingent on
active energy-dependent myocardial relaxation and myocardial stiffness. Abnormal diastolic …

Background The use of apical views focused on the left atrium (LA) has improved the
accuracy of LA volume evaluation by two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography. However …

Aims Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) is a dreaded complication of
anthracycline therapy. CTRCD most frequently appears in patients with cardiovascular risk …

BACKGROUND: Cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of death in boys with Duchenne
muscular dystrophy (DMD). While cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is routinely used to …

Aims Left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) can be estimated from cardiovascular magnetic
resonance (CMR). We aimed to investigate whether CMR‐derived LVFP is associated with …

Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging shows promise in
estimating pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) non‐invasively. At the population …
