Authors' Reply to Kindermann et al.'s Comment on: "Athlete's Heart: Diagnostic Challenges and Future Perspectives".
(Springer Link, 2019-01-08)We thank Prof. Wilfried Kindermann and colleagues for their interest in our publication [1] and for the important comments raised in their letter [2]. They understandably underscore the importance of a step-wise approach ... -
Athlete's Heart: Diagnostic Challenges and Future Perspectives.
(2018-11)Distinguishing between adaptive and maladaptive cardiovascular response to exercise is crucial to prevent the unnecessary termination of an athlete's career and to minimize the risk of sudden death. This is a challenging ... -
Using patient-reported outcome measures for primary percutaneous coronary intervention
Introduction: Routine measurement of the outcome of myocardial infarction is usually limited to immediate morbidity and mortality. Our aim was to determine the response to patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) 3 months ... -
Mitral valve prolapse.
(2018-11-28)INTRODUCTION: Mitral valve prolapse is a common valve pathology with a spectrum of disease from isolated prolapse to myxomatous, multi-scallop Barlow's disease. The main complications relate to progression of mitral ... -
Joint learning of motion estimation and segmentation for cardiac MR image sequences
(2018-01-01)© Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018. Cardiac motion estimation and segmentation play important roles in quantitatively assessing cardiac function and diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. In this paper, we propose a novel ... -
Prevalence and Clinical Relevance of Extracardiac Findings in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(2019-01)PURPOSE: To assess the prevalence of extracardiac findings (ECF) during cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) examinations and their downstream effect on clinical management. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively ... -
Joint motion estimation and segmentation from undersampled cardiac mr image
(2018-01-01)© 2018, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Accelerating the acquisition of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a challenging problem, and many works have been proposed to reconstruct images from undersampled k-space data. ... -
Progression of myocardial fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: mechanisms and clinical implications.
(2018-10-24)Aims: Myocardial fibrosis as detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a powerful prognostic marker in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and may be progressive. The precise ... -
Real-Time Prediction of Segmentation Quality
(2018-01-01)© 2018, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Recent advances in deep learning based image segmentation methods have enabled real-time performance with human-level accuracy. However, occasionally even the best method fails due ... -
Automated cardiovascular magnetic resonance image analysis with fully convolutional networks.
(2018-09-14)BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular resonance (CMR) imaging is a standard imaging modality for assessing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the leading cause of death globally. CMR enables accurate quantification of the cardiac chamber ... -
Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) expert consensus for CMR imaging endpoints in clinical research: part I - analytical validation and clinical qualification.
(2018-09-20)Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Changing natural history of the disease due to improved care of acute conditions and ageing population necessitates new strategies to ... -
Integrating CT Myocardial Perfusion and CT-FFR in the Work-Up of Coronary Artery Disease
(Elsevier/Science Direct, 2017-07)Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the individual and combined accuracy of dynamic computed tomography (CT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and computed tomography angiography (CTA) fractional flow ... -
The year 2017 in the European Heart Journal-Cardiovascular Imaging: Part I.
(2018-10-01)The European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging was launched in 2012. It has gained an impressive impact factor of 8.336 during its first 6 years and is now established as one of the top 10 cardiovascular journals in ... -
Association Between Ambient Air Pollution and Cardiac Morpho-Functional Phenotypes: Insights From the UK Biobank Population Imaging Study.
(2018-11-13)Background: Exposure to ambient air pollution is strongly associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Little is known about the influence of air pollutants on cardiac structure and function. We aim ...
