Prospective association between handgrip strength and cardiac structure and function in UK adults.
(2018)
BACKGROUND: Handgrip strength, a measure of muscular fitness, is associated with cardiovascular (CV) events and CV mortality but its association with cardiac structure and function is unknown. The goal of this study was ...
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 ...
The impact of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) on cardiac structure and function: Insights from the UK Biobank imaging enhancement study.
(2018)
BACKGROUND: The effect of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT)-previously known as hormone replacement therapy-on cardiovascular health remains unclear and controversial. This cross-sectional study examined the impact of MHT ...
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging for amyloidosis: The state-of-the-art.
(2019-02)
Amyloidosis results from insoluble precursor proteins being deposited in the extracellular compartment. The prognosis of the disease is predominantly determined by cardiac involvement due to amyloid accumulation that ...
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 ...
