Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Ischemic Heart Disease
Left Ventricular Structure and Function at Rest
The most fundamental quantitative measurements of the heart include those of ventricular size and function. Due to its high spatial and temporal resolution and the freedom to image in any plane, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is especially suited for this task…

This crisis will continue to grow as the population ages, thus the discernment of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to improve prognosis and reduce costs is critical.1
The irony is that therapies…

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a hemodynamic condition defined by pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) above an upper limit of 35mmHg, or by pulmonary arterial mean pressure (PAMP) exceeding 25mmHg at rest.1,2 Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is present when pre-capillary pulmonary vascular pressure is elevated in the absence of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure >15mmHg, such as…

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most prevalent form of valvular heart disease. Its major causes are primary mitral leaflet abnormalities (valve prolapse, healed endocarditis, or rheumatic disease), primary myocardial disease (functional MR), and ischemic disease. Even with severe MR, affected individuals may remain asymptomatic for long periods of time.1 The early, compensated state of MR is…
