Why the study?
Does fractal analysis of cardiac MR imaging identify differences in endocardial complexity among different racial/ethnic groups and patients with comorbidities?
Does fractal analysis of cardiac MR imaging identify differences in endocardial complexity among different racial/ethnic groups and patients with comorbidities?
Fractal analysis of cardiac MRI demonstrates that myocardial trabeculation complexity varies significantly by race, ethnicity, and the presence of hypertension or hypertrophy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Observational differences by race/ethnicity and hypertension warrant no practice change; hypothesis-generating for outcome validation and race-specific references.
Captur et al. (2015) studied this question.
