Assessment of myocardial fibrosis with cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
Diffuse interstitial or replacement myocardial fibrosis is a common feature of a broad variety of cardiomyopathies. Myocardial fibrosis leads to impaired cardiac diastolic and systolic function and is related to adverse cardiovascular events. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) may uniquely characterize the extent of replacement fibrosis and may have prognostic value in various cardiomyopat...
متن کاملAssessment of myocardial viability by cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
Patients with ischemic heart disease may have left ventricular (LV) dysfunction due to reversible or irreversible causes. The ability to distinguish viable myocardium with dysfunction due to a reversible etiology (hibernation, stunning) from nonviable scar is critical for determining proper management of the patient. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a technique that has been establish...

متن کاملMyocardial tissue tagging with cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is currently the gold standard for assessing both global and regional myocardial function. New tools for quantifying regional function have been recently developed to characterize early myocardial dysfunction in order to improve the identification and management of individuals at risk for heart failure. Of particular interest is CMR myocardial tagging, a ...
متن کاملContrast-free detection of myocardial fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients with diffusion-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
BACKGROUNDS Previous studies have shown that diffusion-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (DW-CMR) is highly sensitive to replacement fibrosis of chronic myocardial infarction. Despite this sensitivity to myocardial infarction, DW-CMR has not been established as a method to detect diffuse myocardial fibrosis. We propose the application of a recently developed DW-CMR technique to detect ...
