The multi-modality cardiac imaging approach to the Athlete's heart: an expert consensus of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging [PDF]
The 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 training in the

B-type natriuretic peptide as a biochemical marker of left ventricular diastolic function: Assessment in asymptomatic patients 1 year after valve replacement for aortic stenosis. [PDF]
Objectives: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction after aortic valve replacement (AVR) carries a substantial risk of development of heart failure and reduced survival.

CMR for Assessment of Diastolic Function [PDF]
Prevalence of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction amounts to 50% of all cases with heart failure. Diagnosis assessment requires evidence of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Currently, echocardiography is the method of choice for diastolic function testing in clinical practice.

Diastolic function evaluation in children with ventricular arrhythmia
Premature ventricular contractions (PVC) are frequently seen in children. We evaluated left ventricular diastolic function in PVC children with normal left ventricular systolic function to detect whether diastolic function disturbances affect physical ...

Changes in left atrial deformation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Evaluation by vector velocity imaging. [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) represents a generalized myopathic process affecting both ventricular and atrial myocardium. We assessed the global and regional left atrial (LA) function and its relation to left ventricular (LV) mechanics ...
