ABSTRACT Background A detailed evaluation of hemodynamics, supportive morphology, and deformation may help uncover the pathophysiology of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and the changes wrought by alcohol septal ablation (ASA). Purpose To investigate the global cardiac volume, myocardial deformation, and hemodynamic characteristics ...

Motion Mitigation Techniques for Abdominal and Cardiac MR Imaging
ABSTRACT MRI of the heart and abdominal organs provides unparalleled soft tissue contrast and quantitative biomarkers, yet remains highly susceptible to physiological motion. Contractions of the myocardium, respiratory excursions, peristalsis, vascular pulsatility, and unpredictable bulk patient movement generate artifacts that impair image quality ...

Preoperative visceral fat and muscle loss after cardiovascular surgery: A retrospective cohort study
Abstract Background Patients with visceral obesity experience an amplified systemic inflammatory response during the perioperative period, increasing infection risk. Significant skeletal muscle loss following invasive cardiovascular surgery presents a considerable clinical challenge.

Fetal Ductal Constriction, Pulmonary Hypertension and Atrial Septum Mobility
Objectives Fetuses with ductal constriction (FDC), pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular overload after maternal exposure to PGE2 inhibitors—nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or polyphenols (PF)—have increased septum primum excursion index (SPEI), the ratio between maximal septum primum displacement and left atrial diameter.
