Aortic arch width by CMR is highly reproducible between readers and across imaging sequences
Background Aortic arch width (AAW) is defined as the distance between the centroids of the ascending and descending thoracic aorta at the level of the main pulmonary artery bifurcation, measured from an axial image. Previously, in a cohort of >3000 community-dwelling adults who underwent chest computed tomography for research purposes, we found that increased AAW is an independent predictor of ...
متن کاملCMR-assessed aortic arch stiffness is associated with brain tissue integrity assessed by diffusion tensor imaging in patients with hypertension
Background Increased aortic stiffness may lead to insufficient flow wave dampening and subsequent transmission of excessive pulsatile energy towards end-organs such as the brain. It has been shown that CMR-assessed aortic stiffness may augment cerebral small vessel disease in patients with hypertension, as assessed by conventional structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, in additio...
متن کاملAortic Arch Thrombosis Mimicking Interrupted Aortic Arch
We report a case of a 32-week-gestation male who presented initially with symptoms suggestive of an interrupted aortic arch. The absence of a VSD prompted further investigations, including a CT angiogram, which revealed that he had an extensive thrombus in his aorta. He underwent a successful aortic thrombectomy with arch repair on cardiopulmonary bypass support. In view of the extensive thromb...
متن کاملDouble aortic arch with hypoplastic right aortic arch and type C atresia of left aortic arch.
We report the case of a 2-month-old baby with a double aortic arch, type C atresia of the left arch and severe hypoplasia of the right aortic arch between the right carotid and subclavian arteries, resulting in systemic obstruction, left ventricular dysfunction and congestive heart failure. Surgical augmentation of the right aortic arch ameliorated the obstruction with improvement in left ventr...
متن کاملT1 Mapping by CMR Imaging
Fro Ge He Sie infl La Ph Ma OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to prospectively investigate the diagnostic and prognostic impact of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping and validate it against left ventricular biopsies. BACKGROUND Extracellular volume (ECV) expansion is a key feature of heart failure. CMR T1 mapping has been developed as a noninvasive technique to estimate ECV; how...
