Purpose

To validate three widely-used acceleration methods in four-dimensional (4D) flow cardiac MR; segmented 4D-spoiled-gradient-echo (4D-SPGR), 4D-echo-planar-imaging (4D-EPI), and 4D-k-t Broad-use Linear Acquisition Speed-up Technique (4D-k-t BLAST).

Background

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a heterogeneous condition and regardless of etiology impacts negatively on survival. Diagnosis of PH is based on hemodynamic parameters measured invasively at right heart catheterization (RHC); however, a non-invasive alternative would be clinically ...

Background

The Plaque At RISK (PARISK) study demonstrated that patients with a carotid plaque with intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) have an increased risk of recurrent ipsilateral ischemic cerebrovascular events. It was previously reported that symptomatic carotid plaques with IPH showed higher ...
BACKGROUND:Ripple mapping displays every deflection of a bipolar electrogram and enables the visualization of conduction channels (RMCC) within postinfarction ventricular scar to guide ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. The utility of RMCC identification for facilitation of VT ablation in the se...

Aims

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare but serious disease associated with high mortality if left untreated. This study aims to assess the prognostic cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) features in PAH using machine learning.

Methods and results

Seven hundred and twenty-thr...

Aims

Cardiac ageing involves a series of anatomical and physiological changes contributing to a decline in overall performance. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides comprehensive structural and functional assessment for detecting age-related cardiovascular remodelling. We aimed to devel...

Background

The identification of risk factors for adverse outcomes and prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay in COVID-19 patients is essential for prognostication, determining treatment intensity, and resource allocation. Previous studies have determined risk factors on admission only, an...
The genetic etiology of intellectual disability remains elusive in almost half of all affected individuals. Within the Solve-RD consortium, systematic re-analysis of whole exome sequencing (WES) data from unresolved cases with (syndromic) intellectual disability (n = 1,472 probands) was performed. T...

Introduction

Determining the optimal timing for extubation can be challenging in the intensive care. In this study, we aim to identify predictors for extubation failure in critically ill patients with COVID-19.

Methods

We used highly granular data from 3464 adult critically ill COVID ...
