Diastole is an important period in the cardiac cycle when all heart components integrate together to secure optimum ventricular filling which determines the stroke volume pumped by the ventricle in the succeeding cycle. Three diastolic phases are well-recognised; early diastole, diastasis and late diastole ‘atrial systole’ (Figure 1). To describe the actual events happening in the ventricle the…

Detailed phenotyping of ventricular–arterial coupling (VAC) and systemic arterial haemodynamics provide important insights into the pathophysiology of left ventricular (LV) energetics, remodelling and fibrosis, and systolic and diastolic dysfunction in various disease states including heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).1…

Heart failure (HF) is an epidemic with an increasing prevalence and an absolute mortality rate of approximately 50 % within 5 years of diagnosis. Imaging plays a main role in HF diagnosis, assessment of aetiology and treatment guidance. This article reviews current HF applications for all the available non-invasive imaging modalities: echocardiography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR),…

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has evolved into a global pandemic, having affected more than 2.3 million people and claiming more than 160,000 lives. Infection with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus predominantly causes fever (77–98% of cases), fatigue (52–75%) and cough (60–81%).1,2 While it primarily affects the respiratory system, it also appears to…
