This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research aims to develop an integrated super-resolution cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and deep learning (CMR-DL) technology to isolate and quantify the contributions of passive and active remodeling events to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). The total award amount is $702,534, with a project period from March 6, 2025 to December 31, 2029. The awardee, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (Tees), will conduct this research to advance the understanding and treatment of LVDD, a key contributor to several cardiac diseases. The project will involve a combination of ex vivo experiments, in vivo mouse studies, and analysis of retrospective human LVDD patient data to elucidate the independent roles of passive and active remodeling in impaired left ventricular relaxation.
