Physical activity and left-ventricular trabeculation in the UK Biobank community-based cohort study
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2019-02-05)
Objective: Vigorous physical activity (PA) in highly trained athletes has been associated with heightened left ventricular (LV) trabeculation extent. It has therefore been hypothesised that LV trabeculation extent may ...
Automated quality control in image segmentation: application to the UK Biobank cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging study
(BioMed Central, 2019-03-14)
Background: The trend towards large-scale studies including population imaging poses new challenges in terms
of quality control (QC). This is a particular issue when automatic processing tools such as image segmentation
methods ...
Automated localization and quality control of the aorta in cine CMR can significantly accelerate processing of the UK Biobank population data.
(Public Library of Science, 2019-02-14)
INTRODUCTION: Aortic distensibility can be calculated using semi-automated methods to segment the aortic lumen on cine CMR (Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance) images. However, these methods require visual quality control ...
Validation of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance-Derived Equation for Predicted Left Ventricular Mass Using the UK Biobank Imaging Cohort: Tool for Donor-Recipient Size Matching.
(2019-12)
BACKGROUND: Current guidance from International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation recommends using body weight for donor-recipient size matching for heart transplantation. However, recent studies have shown that ...
Genome-Wide Analysis of Left Ventricular Image-Derived Phenotypes Identifies Fourteen Loci Associated With Cardiac Morphogenesis and Heart Failure Development.
(2019-10-15)
BACKGROUND: The genetic basis of left ventricular (LV) image-derived phenotypes, which play a vital role in the diagnosis, management, and risk stratification of cardiovascular diseases, is unclear at present. METHODS: The ...
