Rapid, dynamic visualization of valves and myocardium is possible with volume rendering of 3D cardiac MRI, 4D cine and flow images.

This important work identifies phlda2 as a specific marker for primordial cardiomyocytes in the adult zebrafish heart and demonstrates their essential role in myocardial morphogenesis and coronary ...

The utility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) as a diagnostic technique is well established. CMR enables tissue characterization, distinction between myocardial scar tissue and viable tissue ...

The assessment of myocardial viability has been used to identify patients with coronary artery disease and left ventricular dysfunction in whom coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) will provide a ...

Myocarditis describes inflammation of heart tissue known as the myocardium. This inflammation can affect the electrical system of the heart and reduce the heart’s ability to pump blood around the body ...

Myocardial infarction (MI) – more regularly known as a heart attack – is an acute phenomenon initiated by the interruption of blood supply to regions of the heart, causing myocardial necrosis.

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, and 3.8 million men and 3.4 million women die of the disease each year. After an acute myocardial infarction, early and successful ...
