Open AccessValidation of a prediction model for early reconnection after cryoballoon ablation
We previously developed an early reconnection/dormant conduction (ERC) prediction model for cryoballoon ablation to avoid a 30-min waiting period with adenosine infusion. We now aimed to validate this model ba...

Open AccessAssociation of cardiovascular magnetic resonance-derived circumferential strain parameters with the risk of ventricular arrhythmia and all-cause mortality in patients with prior myocardial infarction and primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillator
Impaired left ventricular (LV) contraction and relaxation may further promote adverse remodeling and may increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in ischemic cardiomyopathy. We aimed to examine the ass...

Improved Myocardial Scar Characterization by Super-Resolution Reconstruction in Late Gadolinium Enhanced MRI
Image resolution is an important factor for accurate myocardial scar assessment from late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) MR. It has been shown that the conventionally used short-axis (SA) LGE acquisition with aniso...
