Cardiac magnetic resonance findings predict increased resource utilization in elective coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]

, 2008
Morbidity following CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) is difficult to predict and leads to increased healthcare costs. We hypothesized that pre-operative CMR (cardiac magnetic resonance) findings would predict resource utilization in elective CABG ...

Noncompaction of the left ventricle: a new cardiomyopathy is presented to the clinician

São Paulo Medical Journal
Noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium is a morphogenetic abnormality involving loss of compaction of the myocardial fiber meshwork during intrauterine life. It is an extremely rare condition, accounting for only 0.05% of the cases evaluated in
