High-resolution, non-invasive electromechanical mapping in genotyped long-QT syndrome patients and healthy controls at baseline and during smart provocation.

Detailed Description

Using simultaneous ECG-imaging, speckle-tracking analysis and tissue-phase mapping with MRI we will assess electromechanical dispersion at rest. Regional electromechanical elasticity will be investiga...
