Competency-based cardiac imaging for patient-centred care. A statement of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) [PDF]
Imaging plays an integral role in all aspects of managing heart disease and cardiac imaging is a core competency of cardiologists. The adequate delivery of cardiac imaging services requires expertise in both imaging methodology – with specific ...

Ectopic fat deposition has been associated with lipotoxicity and derangement in local and systemic metabolism, insulin resistance, cardiac dysfunction, atherosclerosis, local, and systemic inflammation. The mechanisms and potentially detrimental effects of such an accumulation should be fully investigated in order to establish preventive strategies ...

The multi-modality cardiac imaging approach to the Athlete's heart: an expert consensus of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging [PDF]
peer reviewedThe term 'athlete's heart' refers to a clinical picture characterized by a slow heart rate and enlargement of the heart. A multi-modality imaging approach to the athlete's heart aims to differentiate physiological changes due to intensive ...

Cardiac hybrid imaging combines different imaging modalities in a way where both modalities equally contribute to image information. The most common and best-studied approach is to combine computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) and myocardial perfusion imaging either with single-photon emission computed tomography or with positron emission ...

Cardiac Imaging in Athletes [PDF]
Athletic heart syndrome refers to the physiological and morphological changes that occur in a human heart after repetitive strenuous physical exercise. Examples of exercise-induced changes in the heart include increases in heart cavity dimensions, augmentation of cardiac output, and increases in heart muscle mass.

A review of heart chamber segmentation for structural and functional analysis using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become a key imaging modality in clinical cardiology practice due to its unique capabilities for non-invasive imaging of the cardiac chambers and great vessels. A wide range of CMR sequences have been developed

Quantitative analysis of cardiac left ventricular variables obtained by MRI at 3 T : a pre- and post-contrast comparison [PDF]
Short-axis cine images are acquired during cardiac MRI in order to determine variables of cardiac left ventricular (LV) function such as ejection fraction (EF), end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV) and LV mass.
