The Development of a Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Database to Understand the Etiology of Cardiomyopathy Using Novel Biomechanical Biomarkers

We seek to develop a large comprehensive database of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) studies that can be used to expand and validate our understanding of myocardial tissue properties and functional decline in patients with cardiovascular disease. Subjects included in the study have had CMR imaging performed with gadolinium-based contrast-enhanced images. The database contains a collection of medical history/patient outcomes and comprehensive image analyses on CMR sequences, and will serve a multitude of projects that are currently under development.
