Cardiovascular magnetic resonance elastography: A review [PDF]
NMR in Biomedicine, 2017 Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. These cardiovascular diseases are associated with mechanical changes in the myocardium and aorta. It is known that stiffness is altered in many diseases, including the spectrum of ischemia, diastolic dysfunction, hypertension and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In addition, the stiffness of
