Measuring myocardial scar by CMR.
c r o “ e m s d r w n Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as the gold-standard technique for imaging of myocardial scar. The basic principle is inversion-recovery imaging after a 5to 10-min delay following intravenous administration of gadolinium contrast (1). With appropriate settings, normal myocardium appears nulled or black, whereas nonviable...
متن کاملDetecting Diffuse Myocardial Fibrosis With CMR
The development of late gadolinium enhancement imaging (LGE) in the late 1990s revolutionized the clinical application of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies (1). Not only has the identification of even small subendocardial myocardial infarcts become possible due to the unsurpassed spatial resolution of the technique, but also specific patterns o...
متن کاملImaging myocardial carcinoid with T2-STIR CMR
We used T2-STIR (Short Tau Inversion Recovery) cardiovascular magnetic resonance to demonstrate carcinoid tumor metastases to the heart and liver in a 64-year-old woman with a biopsy-proven ileal carcinoid tumor who was referred because of an abnormal echocardiogram.
متن کاملCMR myocardial tissue characterization in a mouse model of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity
Background Cardiotoxicity is a major limiting factor preventing dose-effective use of multiple cytotoxic agents in cancer treatment. Current cardiotoxicity diagnosis is based on functional changes that occur late in the course of the disease. In this pre-clinical pilot study, we hypothesize myocardial T1 and T2 mapping will identify mice at risk of death secondary to doxorubicin-induced cardiot...
متن کاملCMR-based characterization of cardiac amyloidosis.
Amyloidosis is a systemic disease caused by the deposition of misfolded proteins. Cardiac involvement is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in the light chain (AL) and transthyretin (ATTR) forms. Amyloidosis usually presents as a restrictive cardiomyopathy with progressive systolic/ diastolic dysfunction and arrhythmias but is often misdiagnosed as hypertrophic or hypertensive...
