Cardiovascular MRI has effectively become a reference standard for quantifying ventricular volumes and function and for measuring the myocardial scar burden after myocardial infarction. Imaging of late gadolinium enhancement and microvascul...
Prevalence and Outcomes of Fears in Advanced Heart Failure: Differences Across Disease Stages [0.03%]
终末期心力衰竭患者恐惧的流行及结局：不同疾病阶段的差异分析
Purpose of review: Heart failure (HF) is a complex, multifactorial syndrome resulting from impaired heart function. When medical management of HF is ineffective, mechanical circulatory support with a left-ventricular assi...
