Impact of Dapagliflozin on MRI‐Derived Epicardial Adipose Tissue: Secondary Imaging Analysis of a Randomized Trial

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active fat depot associated with cardiovascular risk and represents a modifiable imaging biomarker. Studies have shown that sodium–glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce EAT thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, it is unclear whether this is

Periodontitis and its association with left ventricular geometry and function: A cross‐sectional study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the cross‐sectional association between periodontal status and left ventricular (LV) geometry and function, an early and prognostically relevant marker of cardiovascular disease. Methods Data were drawn from two population‐based cohorts in the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP): SHIP‐START‐2 (N = 2333) and ...

Traumatic Tricuspid Papillary Muscle and Chordae Rupture: Emerging Role of Three‐Dimensional Echocardiography

, 2008
We describe a patient with blunt traumatic chest injury in whom three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (3DTTE) confirmed the findings of a flail anterior tricuspid valve leaflet and ruptured anterior papillary muscle seen on two-dimensional ...

Towards Faster Fetal 3D CINE Cardiac MRI Reconstruction Using Region‐Optimized Virtual Coils (ROVir)

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop and evaluate, in a feasibility study, a computationally efficient image‐reconstruction pipeline for 3D balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) CINE fetal cardiac MRI that reduces radial streaking artifacts, increases effective temporal resolution, and improves diagnostic image quality compared with previous work ...

Lymphedema Is Associated with Mitral Annular Abnormalities—A Three-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiographic Analysis from the MAGYAR-Path Study

Biomedicines
Introduction: Lymphedema is a chronic, progressive disorder characterized by the excessive accumulation of lymphatic fluid within the interstitial compartment resulting from impaired lymphatic transport. Consequently, the primary aim of the present study

Strain Rate Angle Distribution as an Indicator of Post‐Infarct Myocardial Remodeling: Proof‐of‐Concept of a Novel Application of the MRI Derived Strain Rate Tensor Field

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Left ventricular (LV) strain is an early indicator of myocardial dysfunction. However, conventional strain metrics do not fully account for the multidirectional nature of myocardial deformation. The strain rate tensor, derived from velocity‐encoded MRI, represents the time‐resolved magnitude and direction of strain rate without the ...

Three-dimensional echocardiography in ischemic heart disease

, 1998
The ability of two-dimensional echocardiography to detect and to evaluate the extent of wall motion abnormalities is limited by the use of few selected, nonparallel, views of the whole left ventricle, This leads to an incomplete appreciation of the ...

Rotating Frame Spin‐Lock Cardiac MRI Method at 9.4 T Can Characterize Diffuse Fibrosis in Progressing Hypertensive Heart Disease in Mice

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to investigate the applicability of rotating frame spin‐lock continuous wave (CW) T1ρ and relaxation along a fictitious field with Rank 2 (RAFF2) methods complementary to native T1 and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) of diffuse fibrosis in mice with advancing hypertensive
