Background Late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is
frequently used to evaluate myocardial viability, estimate total infarct size and transmurality, …

Purpose Advances in mitral valve repair and adoption have been partly attributed to
improvements in echocardiographic imaging technology. To educate and guide repair surgery …

Decellularized extracellular matrix in the form of patches and locally injected hydrogels has
long been used as therapies in animal models of disease. Here we report the safety and …

We describe a system dedicated to the analysis of the complex three-dimensional anatomy
and dynamics of an abnormal heart mitral valve using three-dimensional echocardiography …

Background CT SQUEEZ is a new automated technique to evaluate regional endocardial

Objectives The goal of this study was to assess the utility of a genetic risk score (GRS) in
targeted coronary artery calcium (CAC) screening among young individuals. Background Early …

Background The evolution of T1ρ and of other endogenous contrast methods (T2, T1) in the
first month after reperfused myocardial infarction (MI) is uncertain. We conducted a study of …

Background Genetic risk scores (GRSs) have been associated with CHD events and coronary
artery calcium (CAC). We sought to evaluate the ability of a GRS to improve CAC as a …

Background Mitral valve (MV) repair using annuloplasty rings is the preferred method of
treatment for MV regurgitation, but the impact of annuloplasty ring placement on left ventricular …
