Abstract Aims Patients with cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of patients who experience high morbidity and mortality. Early cardiac assessment and intervention with access to genetic counselling in a multidisciplinary Cardiomyopathy Clinic may improve outcomes and prevent progression to advanced heart failure.

A Novel Mathematical/Numerical Formula for Assessing Right Ventricular Torsion Using Echocardiographic Imaging [PDF]
Recently, the ventricular torsional parameters have received special attention because of their significant role in the ventricular systolic and diastolic function. Right ventricular (RV) rotational deformation is a sensitive index for RV performance but difficult to measure.

In the race to develop a transcatheter mitral valve, experience with new techniques and devices has resulted in revisiting a previously known complication of surgical mitral valve replacement and repair: left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Abstract Aims Despite receiving guideline‐directed medical heart failure (HF) therapy, patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease (PH‐LHD) experience higher mortality and hospitalization rates than the general HF population.

Ventricular torsional relation to ventricular fiber arrangement [PDF]
Left ventricular torsion from helically oriented myofibers is a key parameter of cardiac performance. Physicians observing heart motion on echocardiograms, during cardiac catheterization, or in the operating room, are impressed by the twisting or rotary motion of the left ventricle during systole.

Obstruction of left ventricular outflow tract by a calcified mass at mitral valve [PDF]
A case of an unusual left ventricular outflow tract obstruction by mitral valve pathology in a 35-year old female with diabetes and end-stage renal disease is presented in the study.

Background Accessory mitral valve tissue rarely causes left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in adults. It is often associated with other cardiac and vascular congenital malformations.

Identifying logarithmic tracts [PDF]
We show that a direct tract bounded by a simple curve is a logarithmic tract and further give sufficient conditions for a direct tract to contain logarithmic tracts. As an application of these results, an example of a function with infinitely many direct singularities, but no logarithmic singularity over any finite value, is shown to be in the Eremenko-

Vector Field Streamline Clustering Framework for Brain Fiber Tract Segmentation [PDF]
Brain fiber tracts are widely used in studying brain diseases, which may lead to a better understanding of how disease affects the brain. The segmentation of brain fiber tracts assumed enormous importance in disease analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel vector field streamline clustering framework for brain fiber tract segmentations.
