Heart failure (HF) encompasses a diverse clinical spectrum, including instances of transient HF or HF with recovered ejection fraction, alongside persistent cases. This dynamic condition exhibits a growing prevalence and entails substantial healthcar...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: This study investigated the additional prognostic value of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients undergoing stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.

BACKGROUND: Diastolic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is a powerful contributor to the symptoms and prognosis of patients with heart failure. In patients with depressed LV systolic function, the E/A ratio, the ratio between the peak early (E) and t...
Myocardial scar (MS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are vital cardiovascular parameters, conventionally determined using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). However, given the high cost and limited availability of CMR in resource-constra...
In recent years, a variety of deep learning networks for cardiac MRI (CMR) segmentation have been developed and analyzed. However, nearly all of them are focused on cine CMR under breathold. In this work, accuracy of deep learning methods is assessed...

BACKGROUND: 4D flow MRI enables assessment of cardiac function and intra-cardiac blood flow dynamics from a single acquisition. However, due to the poor contrast between the chambers and surrounding tissue, quantitative analysis relies on the segment...
