Atrial Mechanics in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Effect of a No-Implant Interatrial Shunt

Conference Circulation Heart Failure · October 1, 2025 BACKGROUND: – The atria play an important role in the pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Decreased left atrial strain is associated with worse clinical outcomes. The impact of no-implant interatrial shunting on atrial struct ... Full text Cite

Machine Learning Computer Vision Point of Care Decision Support of Echocardiographic Identification of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

Conference JACC Adv · May 2025 BACKGROUND: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains underdiagnosed, and artificial intelligence tools for echocardiographic recognition have been hampered by lack of insight into drivers of model predictions and ease of implementation. OBJECTIVES: The pu ... Full text Link to item Cite

Noninvasive diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension with hyperpolarised 129Xe magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy.

Conference ERJ Open Res · April 2022 BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains challenging. Pre- and post-capillary PH have different signatures on noninvasive 129Xe gas-exchange magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and dynamic MR spectroscopy (MRS). We tested the accuracy ...

Left ventricular global longitudinal strain in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: outcomes following an acute heart failure hospitalization.

Conference ESC Heart Fail · November 2017 AIMS: While abnormal resting LV GLS has been described in patients with chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), its prognostic significance when measured during an acute heart failure hospitalization remains unclear. We assessed the ... Full text Link to item Cite

Impaired left ventricular global longitudinal strain in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: insights from the RELAX trial.

Conference Eur J Heart Fail · July 2017 BACKGROUND: While abnormal left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) has been described in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), its prevalence and clinical significance are poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULT ... Full text Link to item Cite

Assessment of cardiac allograft systolic function by global longitudinal strain: From donor to recipient.

Conference Clin Transplant · May 2017 BACKGROUND: Cardiac allografts are routinely evaluated by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) before and after transplantation. However, myocardial deformation analyses with LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) are more sensitive for detecting impaire ... Full text Link to item Cite
