4D-flow MRI is a promising technique for assessing vessel hemodynamics. However, its utilization is currently limited by the lack of reference values, particularly for pulmonary vessels. In this work, we have analysed flow and velocity in the …

A 43-year-old nigerian woman presented to cardiac intensive care unit for acute pulmonary edema with severe mitral regurgitation in a hypertrophic non obstructive cardiomyopathy for prevalent hypertrophy of posterior and lateral walls. A …
To test the hypothesis that cine MRI-derived radiomics features of the cardiac blood pool can represent hemodynamic characteristics of pulmonary hypertension-heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (PH-HFpEF). Nineteen PH-HFpEF patients (9 …

Heart disease has occasionally been implicated as a risk factor for cirrhosis [ 1 – 3 ]. Right heart failure can lead to decreased liver perfusion and chronic venous congestion, which can result in hepatic parenchymal damage due to the intimate …
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with commissural alignment aims to limit the risk of coronary occlusion and maintain good coronary access. However, due to coronary origin eccentricity within the coronary cusp, coronary-commissural …

We report cardiac MRI findings in a 38-year-old female Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) patient with regressed rhabdomyomas. Presence of myocardial fatty foci are associated with multiorgan involvement, although they are not a part of the current …
To investigate the correlation between quantitative plaque parameters, the perivascular fat attenuation index, and myocardial ischaemia caused by haemodynamic impairment. Patients with stable angina who had invasive flow reserve fraction (FFR) …

We evaluated the short- and long-term effects of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) on their cardiovascular system. The study population consisted of 38 MIS-C patients and 55 control patients. Standard echocardiographic …
A healthy 28-year-old woman, presenting with a chronic cough for approximately 6 months, was referred for echocardiography. The images revealed the presence of two masses in each atrium without an inter-atrial septal defect. No additional …
Both Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and Noonan syndrome (NS) are RASopathies. Characteristic cardiac phenotypes of NS, including specific electrocardiographic changes, pulmonary valve stenosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have not been …
