#325 Increased left ventricular mass is caused by extracellular not intracellular expansion in advanced CKD Open
Background and Aims Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is seen in up to 75% of patients with advanced CKD (eGFR <30). This has been shown to be an adverse prognostic marker compared to patients without LVH and is presumed multifactorial se…

Clinical and cardiovascular magnetic resonance factors associated with elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with heart failure: an analysis of a single-centre, prospective registry Open
Objectives The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is defined as the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes measured in the full blood count. It has been studied across a range of conditions including cancer, sepsis and stroke. It has been p…

Gender-specific differences in embolic risk of infective endocarditis Open
Background Embolic events are a severe complication of infective endocarditis (IE). Understanding the role of sex differences in embolic risk and the associated predictors may improve patient stratification and management. Methods A total …
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…
Three-dimensional Feature Tracking Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: Comparison with Two-Dimensional Algorithm Open
Aim The aims of this study were to: 1) determine whether 2D and 3D feature tracking cardiac magnetic resonance (FT-CMR) are equivalent in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), 2) compare 3D FT-CMR values in HCM and healthy volun…

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…

A case report of acute myopericarditis associated with Graves’ thyrotoxicosis Open
Background The effects of hyperthyroidism on the heart are well documented, primarily consisting of supraventricular tachycardias, congestive heart failure, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Acute myopericarditis resulting from a hyperthyroid st…
