To evaluate effectiveness of virtual native enhancement compared with late gadolinium enhancement for CMR, researchers enrolled 1,348 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), who provided ...

Myocardial scarring may be prognostic of ventricular arrhythmia risk among male endurance athletes who compete in events such ...

The main goal was to determine the presences of late gadolinium enhancement fibrosis, which is associated with heart attack. A secondary goal was the occurrences of major adverse cardiac events, which ...

Nearly half of long-term male athletes have evidence of myocardial fibrosis in the absence of symptoms, significantly raising their risk for arrhythmias, a new study finds.

Cardiac MRI performed 2 days after symptom onset demonstrates mid wall to subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) at the basal to mid inferior lateral wall with adjacent pericardial ...

Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a progressive disease characterized by extracellular deposition of misfolded proteins, leading to myocardial dysfunction and poor prognosis. Early and accurate diagnosis ...

On cardiac MRI, those with focal FDG uptake had a significantly higher prevalence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), higher regional T2, T1, and extracellular volume (ECV) plus worse global ...
