Clinical and Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Characteristics of Veteran Male Endurance Athletes With Atrial Fibrillation: VENTOUX‐AF Open
Background Older male endurance athletes exhibit an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) of which the pathogenesis is unclear. We aimed to determine whether left atrial (LA) remodeling on cardiovascular magnetic resonance, blood pres…

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance to differentiate veteran athlete’s heart with cavity dilatation and mild dilated cardiomyopathy Open
Aims This study aimed to investigate the distribution of myocardial fibrosis and patterns of tissue characteristics on cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) between athletes with left ventricular (LV) dilatation and mild dilated cardiomy…

Ventricular Arrhythmia and Cardiac Fibrosis in Endurance Experienced Athletes (VENTOUX) Open
BACKGROUND: Sudden cardiac death due to primary arrhythmia is a leading cause of mortality in athletes, predominantly affecting older male athletes. Myocardial fibrosis is strongly associated with arrhythmogenesis in nonischemic cardiomyop…
Normal values of high-resolution transmural perfusion distribution metrics for automated quantitative pixel-wise myocardial perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance Open
Normal global and myocardial slice-specific values of MPRENDO, MPREPI, sGRAD and rGRAD using in-line automated MBF quantification from first pass myocardial perfusion CMR are presented. While there were no sex-specific differences in any o…
Left ventricular flow kinetics and myocardial deformation following acute infarction: Additional predictive value of cardiac magnetic resonance four-dimensional flow for left ventricular remodeling post-ST-elevation myocardial infarction Open
Our study suggests a potential early interaction between FT-strain and 4D-flow parameters post-STEMI leading to the development of adverse remodeling. Within the limitations of our sample size, DF and IS were independent predictors of LV r…
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance to differentiate veteran athlete's heart with cavity dilatation and mild dilated cardiomyopathy Open
Introduction Endurance athletic training may lead to left ventricular (LV) dilatation and mildly reduced resting LV function which can be difficult to differentiate from dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Myocardial fibrosis is increasingly rec…

Gender differences in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking Open
Introduction The recognition of gender differences in cardiovascular disease is increasing. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) offers high spatial and temporal resolution images irrespective of body shape and size. This enables preci…
Three-dimensional feature tracking cardiac magnetic resonance in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: comparison with two-dimensional algorithm Open
Introduction Myocardial deformation is a highly sensitive marker for early-stage myocardial dysfunction with an independent predictive value in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Although speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) is a widely…

VENTricular arrhythmia and cardiac fibrOsis in endUrance eXperienced athletes (The VENTOUX Study) Open
Introduction Non-ischaemic myocardial fibrosis can be detected by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in a significant proportion of lifelong endurance athletes. 1 Similar focal fibrosis is known to be arrhythmogenic in non-isc…
176 Ventricular arrhythmia and cardiac fibrosis in endurance experienced athletes (the ventoux study) Open
Introduction Myocardial fibrosis on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has increasingly been detected in lifelong endurance athletes, particularly those who are male. In non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, the presence of myocardial fibrosis on CM…
The Role of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Assessment of Mitral Regurgitation Open
Mitral regurgitation (MR), a primary cause of valvular disease in adults, affects millions and is growing due to an ageing population. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as an essential tool, offering insights into valvula…
Evaluation of mitral regurgitation by cardiac magnetic resonance and transthoracic echocardiography: a systematic review and meta-analysis Open
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) have complementary roles in the severity grading of mitral regurgitation (MR). Our objective was to systematically review the correlation of MR severity as assessed …
Co-occurrence of Dermatomyositis and Polycythemia Unveiling Rare de Novo Neuroendocrine Prostate Tumor Open
We present a case of dermatomyositis together with polycythemia as initial manifestations of a particularly rare type of prostate cancer. A 69-year-old man was hospitalized for facial erythema and symptoms of fatigue. Physical evaluation, …
