Post-infarction scar remodelling may start and evolve at a different pace across patients, often requiring years until the affected tissue becomes arrhythmogenic. Current risk stratification strategies lack sensitivity and specificity, and therefore more knowledge is required (e.g. new biomarkers and insights about the appropriate time point to...

Background: Right ventricular (RV) function assessment is crucial in CHD patients, especially in atrial septaldefect (ASD) and Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients. Indeed, prognosis is very different between TOF patientswith pulmonary regurgitation and ASD patients, and only little is known about 3D deformation in RV overload. Purpose: The aim...

Cardiac disease can reduce the ability of the ventricles to function well enough to sustain long-term pumping efficiency. Recent advances in cardiac motion tracking have led to improvements in the analysis of cardiac function. We propose a method to study cohort effects related to age with respect to cardiac function. The proposed approach...

Although myocardial deformation imaging is often used in clinical practice, to date, the spatial resolution of any speckle tracking algorithm has not been tested. The minimum size of the resolvable dysfunctional areas with these techniques remains unknown while this is relevant for reliable clinical diagnosis. The current study therefore aimed...
