Non-invasive cardiac magnetic resonance imaging techniques for assessment of myocardial fibrosis
DownloadFall 2020
While there may be numerous underlying origins, myocardial fibrosis is a common, unifying finding in various forms of heart disease. Unfortunately, its presence goes beyond simply being a herald of myocardial injury. The alterations in the extracellular space lead to abnormalities in both...

Chronic Heart Failure: The Roles of the Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Axis and Left-Atrial Structural and Functional Remodeling
DownloadFall 2014
Heart failure (HF) is a global epidemic, with a substantial burden on healthcare systems. Effective therapies have emerged for patients suffering from HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), but not for those with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). Recently, systemic inflammation, driven by...
