Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become the primary tool for noninvasive
assessment of myocardial inflammation in patients with suspected myocarditis. The …

After a reperfused myocardial infarction (MI), dynamic tissue changes occur (edema,
inflammation, microvascular obstruction, hemorrhage, cardiomyocyte necrosis, and ultimately …

Targeted therapies in connective tissue diseases (CTDs) have led to improvements of
disease-associated outcomes, but life expectancy remains lower compared to general population …

After administration of gadolinium, infarcted myocardium exhibits delayed hyperenhancement
and can be imaged using an inversion recovery (IR) sequence. The performance of such …

Aims Conventional late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance can
detect myocardial infarction and some forms of non-ischaemic myocardial fibrosis. However, …

Background— The aim of this study was to determine whether edema imaging by T2-weighted
cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging could retrospectively delineate the area at …

Displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) was developed for high-resolution
myocardial displacement mapping. Pixel phase is modulated by myocardial displacement …

Background— Managing chest pain in the emergency department remains a challenge with
current diagnostic strategies. We hypothesized that cardiac MRI could accurately identify …

Objectives : This study was designed to determine the diagnostic value of adenosine cardiac
magnetic resonance (CMR) in troponin-negative patients with chest pain. Background : We …

Objectives : The aim of this study was to determine whether cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)
in vivo T1 mapping can measure myocardial area at risk (AAR) compared with …
