Mitral regurgitation assessment by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging during continuous in-scanner exercise: a feasibility study
Exercise imaging using current modalities can be challenging. This was patient focused study to establish the feasibility and reproducibility of exercise-cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (EX-CMR) acqu...

Open AccessCardiac magnetic resonance imaging for the detection of myocardial involvement in granulomatosis with polyangiitis
The prevalence of undiagnosed cardiac involvement in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is unknown. In this prospective study we investigated the utility of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to ident...

Open AccessExercise cardiovascular magnetic resonance: feasibility and development of biventricular function and great vessel flow assessment, during continuous exercise accelerated by Compressed SENSE: preliminary results in healthy volunteers
Exercise cardiovascular magnetic resonance (Ex-CMR) typically requires complex post-processing or transient exercise cessation, decreasing clinical utility. We aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of assessing...

Open AccessCMR quantitation of change in mitral regurgitation following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR): impact on left ventricular reverse remodeling and outcome
Current echocardiographic data reporting the impact of concomitant mitral regurgitation (MR) on outcome in patients who undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are conflicting. Using cardiovascul...

Open AccessThe utility of global longitudinal strain in the identification of prior myocardial infarction in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction
Prior myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with increased mortality and is prevalent in certain high risk patient groups. Electrocardiogram may be used in diagnosis, however, sensitivity is limited, thus n...

Open AccessThe role of left ventricular deformation in the assessment of microvascular obstruction and intramyocardial haemorrhage
In the setting of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), it remains unclear which strain parameter most strongly correlates with microvascular obstruction (MVO) or intramyocardial haemorrhage (IMH)....

Endocardial and epicardial myocardial perfusion determined by semi-quantitative and quantitative myocardial perfusion magnetic resonance
This study aims to quantify subendocardial and subepicardial myocardial blood flow (MBF) from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and to compare semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis methods. 17 healthy volunt...
