More gadolinium sticks to damaged areas in the heart, shining brighter in the MRI image and enhancing abnormalities. The level of enhancement can be quantified. To find out if LGE predicted HCM ...

The overall size of the heart is enlarged. The main pumping chamber of the heart (shown in this image as the large area towards the right of the heart) is also enlarged, with thin walls.

When right atrial enlargement occurs, it does not take longer for cardiac action potentials to travel through the atrial myocardium (similar to left atrial enlargement). However, the amplitude of ...

The use of MRI to determine heart function has been slow to catch on, but a study from Duke Health researchers shows that stress cardiac MRI can also predict which cases are potentially fatal.

The use of AI in healthcare is experiencing a boon in both drug discovery (a topic for another column) and medical devices.

Cardiac MRI with late gadolinium enhancement showed its shortcomings for detecting significant coronary artery disease in people with reduced ejection fraction in a prospective cohort study. (Heart) A ...

Northeastern Health System has announced the launch of its Cardiac MRI service, aimed at improving diagnostic accuracy and advancing heart health care.

While clinical, ECG and hemodynamic evaluation have been the established methods for the diagnosis of pericardial disease, advances in cardiac computed tomography and cardiovascular MRI provide ...
