A phenomap of TTR amyloidosis to aid diagnostic screening
Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin (ATTR) remains an underdiagnosed cause of cardiomyopathy. As awareness of the disease grows and referrals for ATTR increase, clinicians are likely to encounter more atypical forms of the condition in clinical practice.

Evaluation of mitral regurgitation by cine magnetic resonance imaging
We used cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess mitral regurgitation (MR) in 40 patients with coronary and/or valvular disease and 10 normal subjects and compared results to pulsed (n = 30) or color flow Doppler mapping (n = 20). Mitral regurgitation produced a dynamic signal void in the left atrium in systole in 15 of 16 patients with MR by ...

Large-scale Quality Control of Cardiac Imaging in Population Studies: Application to UK Biobank [PDF]
In large population studies such as the UK Biobank (UKBB), quality control of the acquired images by visual assessment is unfeasible. In this paper, we apply a recently developed fully-automated quality control pipeline for cardiac MR (CMR) images to the

Abstract Aims SPARCL1 was recently identified as a biomarker of right ventricular (RV) maladaptation in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic protein (NT‐proBNP) is an established biomarker of RV failure in PH. The present study investigated whether NT‐proBNP and SPARCL1 concentrations are associated with load ...

Abstract Background Bodyweight, age and breed influence the echocardiographic assessment of foals. There are no echocardiographic studies in Standardbred neonatal foals. Objectives To describe echocardiographic values for selected variables, evaluate intra‐ and inter‐observer variability and assess cardiac changes in the first 5 days of life in healthy
