## Background Progressive left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction due to hypertension (HTN) alters left atrial (LA) contractile function in a predictable manner. While increased LA size is a marker of LV diastolic dysfunction and has been shown to be predictive of adverse cardiovascular outcome

## Abstract ## Purpose To develop a technique based on image noise distribution for automated endocardial border detection from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images throughout the cardiac cycle, validate it, and test its clinical utility. ## Materials and Methods Images obtained in 36 patient
## Abstract Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is an accurate and reproducible technique for assessment of ventricular function. Although echocardiography is the mainstay for evaluation of cardiac function, dobutamine stress MR imaging has been shown to be as safe as echocardiography for patients with
