Features of speckle tracking echocardiography for diagnosis of myocardial dysfunction [PDF]
Despite the undoubted success in the diagnosis of heart failure using echocardiography, the issue of detecting diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle of the heart in the early stages remains insufficiently studied.

A review of heart chamber segmentation for structural and functional analysis using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become a key imaging modality in clinical cardiology practice due to its unique capabilities for non-invasive imaging of the cardiac chambers and great vessels. A wide range of CMR sequences have been developed

An anatomical review of the right ventricle
Background: The right ventricle is the most anteriorly positioned chamber of the heart, sitting directly posterior to the sternum. The distinct anatomical features of the right ventricle create an approximately 10-fold difference in vascular resistance ...
