Chronic heart failure continues to impose a substantial health-care burden, despite recent
treatment advances. The key pathophysiological process that ultimately leads to chronic …

Myocardial function assessment is essential for determining the health of the myocardium.
Global assessment of myocardial function is widely performed (by estimating the ejection …

Despite the central role of echocardiography in its primary assessment, heart failure is a
condition in which access to multiple cardiovascular imaging modalities is important. A …

Several interventional treatment options exist in patients with atrial and ventricular
arrhythmia. Cardiac CT is routinely performed prior to occlusion of the left atrial appendage …

Aims In a time of controversy regarding the use of echocardiography for assessment of left
ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony and prediction of response to cardiac resynchronization …

The assessment of ventricular function, cardiac chamber dimensions, and ventricular mass
is fundamental for clinical diagnosis, risk assessment, therapeutic decisions, and prognosis …

Objectives To investigate whether cardiac computed tomography (CCT) can determine left
