DOI: 10.1007/s12574-018-0408-2
Abstract: The American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association (ACCF/AHA) classification, based on structural changes and symptoms, classifies stages of heart failure (HF) development as Stages A–D. This HF classification emphasizes the development and progression of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(18)32012-6
Abstract: Myocardial strain imaging could potentially improve patient selection for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Available techniques are CMR tagging (CMR-TAG), feature tracking (CMR-FT) and speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Despite promising results per modality, a direct comparison… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/1.4979922
Abstract: This paper presents a novel method for high-resolutions imaging of band-gap energies of semiconductors. When electron-hole pairs are generated in a semiconductor irradiated with a laser, they induce electronic strains in the semiconductor. The electronic… read more here.
