Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in the prediction of outcome after cardiac resynchronisation therapy [PDF]
, 2011 Contemporary management of patients with heart failure (HF) includes treatment with cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT). The benefit of CRT results from several mechanisms, predominantly correction of dyssynchrony.

Fragmented QRS: What Is The Meaning?
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2012 Fragmented QRS (fQRS) is a convenient marker of myocardial scar evaluated by 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recording. fQRS is defined as additional spikes within the QRS complex.

Iron Deposition following Chronic Myocardial Infarction as a Substrate for Cardiac Electrical Anomalies: Initial Findings in a Canine Model [PDF]
, 2013 Purpose: Iron deposition has been shown to occur following myocardial infarction (MI). We investigated whether such focal iron deposition within chronic MI lead to electrical anomalies. Methods: Two groups of dogs (ex-vivo (n = 12) and in-vivo (n = 10))

Loss of Dictyostelium HSPC300 causes a scar-like phenotype and loss of SCAR protein [PDF]
, 2009 Background: SCAR/WAVE proteins couple signalling to actin polymerization, and are thus fundamental to the formation of pseudopods and lamellipods. They are controlled as part of a five-membered complex that includes the tiny HSPC300 protein.

A Comparison of Fiber Based Material Laws for Myocardial Scar. [PDF]
J Elast, 2021 The mechanics of most soft tissues in the human body are determined by the organization of their collagen fibers. Predicting how mechanics will change during growth and remodeling of those tissues requires constitutive laws that account for the density and dispersion of collagen fibers. Post-infarction scar in the heart, a mechanically and structurally

Development of an automated updated selvester QRS scoring system using SWT-based QRS fractionation detection and classification [PDF]
, 2014 The Selvester score is an effective means for estimating the extent of myocardial scar in a patient from lowcost ECG recordings. Automation of such a system is deemed to help implementing low-cost high-volume screening mechanisms of scar in the primary ...
