Abstract:Introduction:
Left ventricular (LV) regional contractile information is currently limited to subjective interpretation of low-resolution echocardiography. In order to establish a more specific and standardized form of imaging, this study compared strain patterns in normal patients to patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) using high-resolution contractile data from cardiac MRI.
Methods:
Sixty normal test subjects underwent cardiac MRI with multiple… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
