Multimodality imaging for the evaluation and management of patients with long-term (durable) left ventricular assist devices A Clinical Consensus Statement of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) of the ESC
(Oxford University Press, 05-07-2024)Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are gaining increasing importance as therapeutic strategy in advanced heart failure (HF), not only as bridge to recovery or to transplant, but also as destination therapy. Even though ... -
Non-invasive techniques for tracking biological aging of the cardiovascular system
(Elsevier, 08-04-2024)Population aging is one of the most important demographic transformations of our time. Increasing the “health span”—the proportion of life spent in good health—is a global priority. Biological aging comprises molecular and ... -
Evaluation of Deep Learning Estimation of Whole Heart Anatomy from Automated Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Short- and Long-Axis Analyses in UK Biobank
(Oxford University Press, 09-05-2024)Aims Standard methods of heart chamber volume estimation in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) typically utilize simple geometric formulae based on a limited number of slices. We aimed to evaluate whether an automated ... -
A Review of Evaluation Approaches for Explainable AI With Applications in Cardiology
(Springer, 09-08-2024)Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) elucidates the decision-making process of complex AI models and is important in building trust in model predictions. XAI explanations themselves require evaluation as to accuracy ... -
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance reference ranges from the Healthy Hearts Consortium
(Elsevier, 10-04-2024)Background The absence of population-stratified cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) reference ranges from large cohorts is a major shortcoming for clinical care. Objectives This paper provides age-, sex-, and ... -
Leukocyte telomere length and conduction system ageing
(BMJ Publishing Group, 17-12-2024)Objective: Deterioration of the cardiac conduction system is an important manifestation of cardiac ageing. Cellular ageing is accompanied by telomere shortening and telomere length is often regarded as a marker of biological ... -
Myocardial blood flow by magnetic resonance in patients with suspected coronary stenosis: comparison to PET and invasive physiology
(American Heart Association, 18-06-2024)BACKGROUND: Despite recent guideline recommendations, quantitative perfusion (QP) estimates of myocardial blood flow from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) have only been sparsely validated. Furthermore, the additional ... -
A history of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in clinical practice and population science
(Frontiers Media, 19-04-2024)Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has become an invaluable clinical and research tool. Starting from the discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance, this article provides a brief overview of the key developments ... -
Danish study of Non-Invasive testing in Coronary Artery Disease 2 (Dan-NICAD 2): study design for a controlled study of diagnostic accuracy
(Elsevier, 19-05-01)Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the preferred primary diagnostic modality when examining patients with low to intermediate pre-test probability of coronary artery disease (CAD). Only 20-30% ... -
Distal Ventricular Pacing for Drug-Refractory Mid-Cavity Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Personalized Pacing
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 19-06-2024)BACKGROUND: Patients with refractory, symptomatic left ventricular (LV) mid-cavity obstructive (LVMCO) hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have few therapeutic options. Right ventricular pacing is associated with modest hemodynamic ... -
Global Longitudinal Active Strain Energy Density (GLASED): A Powerful Prognostic Marker in a Community-Based Cohort
(Oxford University Press, 20-05-2024)Background Identifying the imaging method that best predicts all-cause mortality, cardiovascular adverse events and heart failure risk is crucial for tailoring optimal management. Potential prognostic markers include left ... -
Predictive performance of cardiovascular risk scores in cancer survivors from the UK Biobank
(Elsevier, 23-07-2024)Background Cardiovascular preventive strategies are guided by risk scores with unknown validity in cancer cohorts. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the predictive performance of 7 established cardiovascular ... -
Bone health, cardiovascular disease and imaging outcomes in UK Biobank: a causal analysis
(Oxford University Press, 25-04-2024)This study examined the association of estimated heel bone mineral density (eBMD, derived from quantitative ultrasound) with: 1) prevalent and incident cardiovascular diseases (CVDs: ischaemic heart disease (IHD), myocardial ... -
Ventricular volume asymmetry as a novel imaging biomarker for disease discrimination and outcome prediction
(Oxford University Press, 25-07-2024)Aims Disruption of the predictable symmetry of the healthy heart may be an indicator of cardiovascular risk. This study defines the population distribution of ventricular asymmetry and its relationships across a range of ... -
Management of Cardiac Sarcoidosis: A Clinical Consensus Statement of the Heart Failure Association, the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, the ESC Working Group on Myocardial & Pericardial Diseases and the European Heart Rhythm Association of the ESC
(Oxford University Press, 26-06-2024)Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is a form of inflammatory cardiomyopathy associated with significant clinical complications such as high-degree atrioventricular block, ventricular tachycardia, and heart failure as well as sudden ... -
Imaging for the diagnosis of acute myocarditis: Can artificial intelligence improve diagnostic performance?
(Frontiers Media, 29-08-2024)Myocarditis is a cardiovascular disease characterised by inflammation of the heart muscle which can lead to heart failure. There is heterogeneity in the mode of presentation, underlying aetiologies, and clinical outcome ... -
The cardiovascular magnetic resonance phenotype of lamin heart disease
(Elsevier, 30-01-2025)Background: Lamin (LMNA) heart disease is characterized by high mortality rate given its propensity to cause severe systolic dysfunction and life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmia. We explored its cardiovascular ... -
The association between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease: insights from imaging, observational and genetic data
