Heart Digital Twins Predict Features of Invasive Reentrant Circuits and Ablation Lesions in Scar-Dependent Ventricular Tachycardia Open
BACKGROUND: Catheter ablation of scar-dependent ventricular tachycardia (VT) is frequently hampered by hemodynamic instability, long procedure duration, and high recurrence rates. Magnetic resonance imaging-based personalized heart digital…

Fibrosis patterns and arrhythmia risk in athletes with dilated left ventricles Open
Background Myocardial fibrosis is a recognised hallmark of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and is implicated in potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias.The presence of myocardial scar is often used as a marker to differentiate physiological lef…

Personalized Heart Digital Twins Detect Substrate Abnormalities in Scar-Dependent Ventricular Tachycardia Open
BACKGROUND: Current outcomes from catheter ablation for scar-dependent ventricular tachycardia (VT) are limited by high recurrence rates and long procedure durations. Personalized heart digital twin technology presents a noninvasive method…

182 Role and clinical utility of cardiac magnetic resonance in the management of female cardio-oncology patients Open
Background Advances in cancer treatment have revolutionized survival outcomes over the past decades but many anti-cancer treatments have cardiotoxic side effects. Furthermore, many cancer survivors go on to develop cardiovascular disease. …

Ethnic and sex-related differences at presentation in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: An observational cross-sectional study Open
Individuals of Black ethnicity and hypertensive male patients are more likely to present with mixed apical and basal hypertrophy, whereas White, Asian and non-hypertensive male patients tend to have hypertrophy limited to the apex. Females…

Race, gender and clinical presentation in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy Open
Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background The apical variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM) has male predominance and is a relatively rare phenotype in Western population. Characteristics of female and blac…

Differentiation between athlete’s heart and dilated cardiomyopathy in athletic individuals Open
Objective Distinguishing early dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) from physiological left ventricular (LV) dilatation with LV ejection fraction <55% in athletes (grey zone) is challenging. We evaluated the role of a cascade of investigations to …

183 Computational Fluid Dynamics – A Patient-Specific Assessment of The Thoracic Aorta Open
Introduction Current intervention criteria for the thoracic aorta concentrate on size. However, the complexity of aortic disease is not fully exposed by aortic dimensions alone, and morbidity or mortality can occur before intervention thre…
