Published in 2017 at "Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging"

DOI: 10.1002/jmri.25678

Abstract: To evaluate if cardiac magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can measure increased stiffness in patients with cardiac amyloidosis. Myocardial tissue stiffness plays an important role in cardiac function. A noninvasive quantitative imaging technique capable of measuring… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research"

DOI: 10.1007/s12265-018-9816-y

Abstract: Understanding the aetiology of heart failure with preserved (HFpEF) and reduced (HFrEF) ejection fraction requires knowledge of biomechanical factors such as diastolic myocardial stiffness and stress. Cine CMR images and intra-ventricular pressure recordings were acquired… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology"

DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.642840

Abstract: Cardiomyocytes are permanently exposed to mechanical stimulation due to cardiac contractility. Passive myocardial stiffness is a crucial factor, which defines the physiological ventricular compliance and volume of diastolic filling with blood. Heart diseases often present… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine"

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.928244

Abstract: Increased myocardial stiffness is critically involved in heart diseases with impaired cardiac compliance, especially heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Myocardial stiffness mainly derives from cardiomyocyte- and extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived passive stiffness. Titin, a… read more here.
