Modeling mechanical waves in the heart to study shear wave elastography as a quantitative imaging tool for early assessment of cardiac remodeling Ghent University
Heart disease is one of the most common causes of death in the developed countries. Its progression is typically associated with cardiac remodeling, a term indicating structural and functional changes of the heart due to altered hemodynamic load and/or cardiac injury. Early assessment of cardiac remodeling could prevent progression of heart disease and provide more effective therapeutic strategies. However, current evaluation of cardiac ...
