Aim The “2022 ACC/AHA Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Aortic Disease”
provides recommendations to guide clinicians in the diagnosis, genetic evaluation and family …

Aortic pathologies are numerous, presenting manifestations are varied, and aortic diseases
present to many clinical services, including primary physicians, emergency department …

Epitaxial carbon was grown by heating (000 1) silicon carbide (SiC) to high temperatures (1450–1600
C) in vacuum. A continuous graphene surface layer was formed at temperatures …

Graphene is created through thermal decomposition of the Si face of 4 H-SiC in high-vacuum.
Growth temperature and time are varied independently to gain a better understanding of …

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence and histopathologic
correlates of pericardial delayed hyperenhancement (DHE) seen with cardiac magnetic …

A characterization of the graphitic overlayer that forms on 4H–SiC(0001) substrates heated
for ten minutes to temperatures T>1350C under vacuum conditions has been performed. X-…

Background— The aim of our study was to compare myocardial mechanics of constrictive
pericarditis (CP) with restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), or healthy controls; to assess the …

Transthoracic echocardiography is the current standard for assessing aortic regurgitation (AR).
AR severity can also be evaluated by flow measurement in the ascending aorta using …

Although 3-T magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is well established in neuroradiology and
musculoskeletal imaging, it is in the nascent stages in cardiovascular imaging applications, …

There is a need to review the multimodality imaging techniques, as well as the emerging
role of the newer noninvasive imaging modalities in the field of constrictive pericarditis (CP). …
