The Application and Research Progress of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in the Assessment of Right Ventricular-Pulmonary Arterial Coupling [PDF]
Right ventricular-pulmonary arterial coupling refers to the interaction and functional matching between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. When the coupling is disrupted, it can lead to a series of cardiovascular diseases, such as pulmonary ...

Pulmonary artery stiffness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) and emphysema: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) COPD Study [PDF]
Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and particularly emphysema are characterized by stiffness of the aorta, due in part to accelerated elastin degradation in the lungs and aorta. Stiffness of the pulmonary arteries (PAs) may also be

Real-time Assessment of Right and Left Ventricular Volumes and Function in Children Using High Spatiotemporal Resolution Spiral bSSFP with Compressed Sensing [PDF]
Background: Real-time (RT) assessment of ventricular volumes and function enables data acquisition during free-breathing. However, in children the requirement for high spatiotemporal resolution requires accelerated imaging techniques.
