Abstract
BACKGROUND: Quantification of chamber size and systolic function is a fundamental component of cardiac imaging. However, the human heart is a complex structure with significant uncharacterized phenotypic variation beyond traditional metrics of size and function. Examining variation in cardiac shape can add to our ability to understand cardiovascular risk and pathophysiology.
