..This study is aimed at identifying correlations between protocol parameters and the resulting velocity error in clinical CMR flow measurements in a multi-vendor study...

..I hope that you find the open-access system increases wider reading and citation of your papers, and that you will continue to send your quality manuscripts to JCMR for publication...

..In this article, methods used for the acquisition, visualization, and quantification of such datasets are reviewed and illustrated...

..We provide a table of CMR acquisition protocols in relation to CHD categories as a guide towards appropriate use of this uniquely versatile imaging modality...

....

..Awareness of the potential problems and concerted efforts towards optimisation are needed from manufacturers and users to make appropriate use of phase contrast flow measurement - a unique strength of cardiovascular magnetic resonance...

..For these and other more complex cases, CMR should ideally be undertaken by specialists committed to long-term collaboration with the clinicians and surgeons managing the patients in a tertiary referral center...

..We hypothesized that fibrosis detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) would be present in adults with repaired TOF and would be related to adverse markers of outcome...

..8% to -16.0%, demonstrating that equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography has good agreement with CMR and provides a good alternative in cases in which CMR is not available or appropriate...

..The utility of cardiovascular magnetic resonance and its potential lifelong contribution to the management of different adult congenital heart disease patients is discussed below...

..Breath-hold acquisitions, usually acquired during held expiration, are more convenient than the non-breath-hold approach, but we hypothesized that breath-holding might affect the amount of pulmonary regurgitation...

..We sought to investigate the degree and patterns of hypertrophy in aortic stenosis using CMR...

..We hypothesised that the relatively fast and standardised 3-dimensional time-resolved contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography, or dynamic angiography, would be valuable in the periodic follow-up of these patients...

..We studied the severity of uncorrected velocity offset errors across sites and CMR systems...

..We developed a cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) tagging-based technique with a view to rapid and reproducible measurement of RV long axis function and applied it in patients with congenital heart disease...

..This in turn has facilitated decision making on the optimal timing for elective pulmonary valve replacement (PVR), which should be performed before irreversible RV dysfunction ensues...

....

..We hope that you find the open-access system increases wider reading and citation of your papers, and that you will continue to send your quality manuscripts to JCMR for publication...

..We conducted a randomized, controlled trial to determine whether repairing the mitral valve during CABG may improve functional capacity and left ventricular reverse remodeling compared with CABG alone...

..The mitral valve stack of images is particularly useful and easy to acquire...

..Measures to maintain or restore pulmonary valve function and avoid RVOT aneurysm/akinesia are mandatory for preserving biventricular function late after rTOF...

..There is no published evidence regarding temporal stability of the background offset...

..The extent of LGE correlates with age, ventricular dysfunction, electrophysiological parameters, and clinical events, suggesting prognostic importance that merits further investigation...

..We hope that you find the open-access system increases wider reading and citation of your papers, and that you will continue to send your quality manuscripts to JCMR for publication...

..We sought to study tolerability of the angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor ramipril and its effects on cardiovascular function in these patients...

....

..The goal of this study was to assess the prognostic significance of midwall and infarct patterns of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in aortic stenosis...

..Recent technical advances have improved in-vivo cDTI, and the aim of this study was to assess the interstudy reproducibility of quantitative in-vivo cDTI in patients with HCM...

..The case illustrates that severe pulmonary valve stenosis can present late in life and that cardiovascular magnetic resonance can be useful in clarifying nature and level of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction in an adult...

..As CMR becomes more widely available, it will contribute increasingly to the lifelong management of patients with congenital heart disease...

..The abilities of magnetic resonance to give unrestricted, multi-planar views of right ventricular anatomy, movement and flow make it well suited for diagnosis and characterization of sub-infundibular stenosis, especially in adults...

..Reduced HRV also related to markers of sustained VT and SCD, suggesting possible common pathogenic mechanisms. Further studies are required to examine the prognostic significance of impaired BRS and HRV in these patients...

..Dynamic efficiency of the looped heart may have favoured evolution of large, complex, active species characteristic of the vertebrate line...

..Our aim was to identify appropriate planes of acquisition and lines of measurement and record corresponding normal values...

..We aimed to compare velocity-encoded cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with an established echocardiographic method for noninvasive measurement of aortic valve area (AVA) using the continuity equation...

..Future outlook on combining imaging with engineering approaches in subject-specific biomechanical simulation is also provided...
