Characterizing interactions between cardiac shape and deformation by non-linear manifold learning (vol 75, 102778, 2022)

•Characterization of the interactions between myocardial shape and deformation.•We propose a manifold alignment strategy to handle partially related descriptors.•We demonstrate the benets of the joint analysis against the individual analysis of each descriptor.•Comparison of fusion and alignment strategies (1 latent space vs. 2 latent spaces).
