Estimation of Cardiac Valve Annuli Motion with Deep Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Valve annuli motion and morphology, measured from non-invasive imaging, can be used to gain a better understanding of healthy and pathological heart function. Measurements such as long-axis strain as well as peak strain rates provide markers of systolic function.

Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Is Associated With Higher R2 Relaxation Rate: An MRI and Pathology Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) involves β‐amyloid deposition in the walls of cortical and leptomeningeal small vessels. Transverse relaxation rate (R2) is a major source of contrast in MRI. This study tested the hypothesis that CAA is associated with R2, extracted the spatial pattern of CAA‐related R2 abnormalities, and evaluated ...

Right Heart Remodeling in Patients with End-Stage Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis: Speckle Tracking Point of View [PDF]
, 2019 BACKGROUND: Data regarding cardiac remodeling in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis are scarce. We sought to investigate right atrial (RA) and right ventricular (RV) structure, function, and mechanics in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis.
