Open AccessImpact of Myocardial Fibrosis on Cardiovascular Structure, Function and Functional Status in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
Myocardial fibrosis, measured using cardiovascular magnetic resonance extracellular volume (ECV), is associated with adverse outcome in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, but the mechanisms by whi...

Open AccessPredictors of myocardial fibrosis and response to anti-fibrotic therapy in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Myocardial fibrosis, measured using magnetic resonance extracellular volume (ECV), associates with adverse outcome in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). In the PIROUETTE (The Pirfenidone i...

Pirfenidone in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a randomized phase 2 trial
In heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), the occurrence of myocardial fibrosis is associated with adverse outcome. Whether pirfenidone, an oral antifibrotic agent without hemodynamic effect, ...

Open AccessNon-invasive imaging of carotid arterial restenosis using 3T cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Restenosis of the carotid artery is common following carotid endarterectomy, but analysis of lesion composition has mostly been based on histological study of explanted restenotic lesions. This study investiga...

Aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 inhibition blocks remote preconditioning in experimental and human models
Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH-2) is involved in preconditioning pathways, but its role in remote ischaemic preconditioning (rIPC) is unknown. We investigated its role in animal and human models ...
