Open AccessPeak CK-MB has a strong association with chronic scar size and wall motion abnormalities after revascularized non-transmural myocardial infarction – a prospective CMR study
Large myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling (LVR). We studied the nature of LVR, with specific attention to non-transmural MIs, and the association of peak CK-M...

Open AccessQuantifying late gadolinium enhancement on CMR provides additional prognostic information in early risk-stratification of nonischemic cardiomyopathy: a cohort study
Suspected nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) is a common clinical setting with highly variable prognosis. Early noninvasive risk-stratification is important for justification of invasive examinations, specific ...

Magnetocardiographic and Electrocardiographic Exercise Map** in Healthy Subjects
In 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG), detection of myocardial ischemia is based on ST-segment changes in exercise testing. Magnetocardiography (MCG) is a complementary method to the ECG for a noninvasive study...

A 3-D Model-Based Approach for the PET-Functional and MR-Anatomical Cardiac Imaging Data Fusion
In this paper, an approach for the assessment of 3-D functional maps of the heart is proposed. It relies on the model-based coregistration of MR anatomical and PET metabolic images and the extraction of an ind...
