Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in pericardial diseases
The pericardium and pericardial diseases in particular have received, in contrast to other topics in the field of cardiology, relatively limited interest. Today, despite improved knowledge of pathophysiology of pericardial diseases and the availability of a wide spectrum of diagnostic tools, the diagnostic challenge remains. Not only the clinical presentation may be atypical, mimicking other ca...
متن کاملCardiac magnetic resonance in pericardial disease
Methods CMR was performed in 146 patients (85 males, aged 56 ±16 years) with clinical suspicion of acute pericarditis (AP, n=46), pericardial effusion without inflammation (PE, n=47), and constrictive pericarditis (CP, n=53). Final diagnosis was ascertained by a combined evaluation of different CMR sequences. Patients were followed-up for all-cause and cardiac death. Results The final diagnosis...
متن کاملCardiovascular Images Epicardial Lipomatous Hypertrophy Mimicking Pericardial Effusion Characterization With Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
A 62-year-old man with no history of cardiac disease was referred because of exertional dyspnea. His body mass index was elevated at 29 kg/m, and a large cutaneous lipoma was present on his abdominal wall. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed and initially reported to demonstrate a moderate-sized global pericardial effusion (Figure 1 and Movies 1 and 2). Consideration was given to peric...
متن کاملOrganized pericardial hematomas: magnetic resonance imaging.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown to be an effective means of identifying and determining the extent of pericardial and paracardiac masses (1.2). On electrocardiographically (ECG) gated MRI, the appearance of pericardial hematomas is variable depending on their age (2-4). MRI can be used to characterize these masses and distinguish certain innocuous masses, thereby averting surger...
