Myocardial Inflammation and Fibrosis Are Associated With Reduced Strain in Collegiate Athletes Recovering From SARS-CoV-2

Several studies show a low (1-3%) but real risk of myocarditis in competitive athletes after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Multi-Parametric Non-Contrast Cardiac Magnetic Resonance for the Differentiation Between Cardiac Amyloidosis and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

The study aimed to assess fast strain-encoded (SENC) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and native T1 mapping in distinguishing between hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and cardiac amyloidosis. Ninety-nine patients (57 with HCM, 42 with amyloidosis) were analyzed for LV parameters, myocardial strain (global and segmental), and T1 values. HCM patients showed evenly
