Definition of myocardial scars as identified by electroanatomic mapping is integral to catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Myocardial imaging can also identify scars prior to ablation. However, the relationship between imaging and volt

Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can accurately determine infarct size. Prior studies using indirect methods and CMR to assess infarct size have shown that patients with larger myocardial infarctions have worse prognoses. Implanta

Although age-related impairment of diastolic function is well documented, patterns of regional tissue relaxation impairment with age have not been characterized. MRI tissue tagging with a regional three-dimensional (3-D) analysis was performed in 15

Following brain injury, and during the process of neurodegeneration, a reactive astrocytic proliferation occurs. This is accompanied by an increase in the synthesis of neuropeptides, cytokines, growth factors and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP

Myocardial infarction leads to changes in the geometry (remodeling) of the left ventricle (LV) of the heart. The degree and type of remodeling provides important diagnostic information for the therapeutic management of ischemic heart disease. In this
