[Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging].
Rev Esp Cardiol 2003;56(11):1133 1133 A 58-year-old man hospitalized with posterolateral acute myocardial infarction was referred to the cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) unit to determine the precise morphology of the left ventricle (LV) as well as its overall and regional function. The test was indicated because of an extremely poor ultrasound window that did not allow characterization by tran...
متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular mass by cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
Left ventricular hypertrophy is associated with significant excess mortality and morbidity. The study and treatment of this condition, in particular the prognostic implications of changes in left ventricular mass, require an accurate, safe, and reproducible method of measurement. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is a suitable tool for this purpose, and this review assesses the technique in com...
متن کاملEvaluation of left ventricular torsion by cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Recently there has been considerable interest in LV torsion and its relationship with symptomatic and pre-symptomatic disease processes. Torsion gives useful additional information about myocardial tissue performance in both systolic and diastolic function. CMR assessment of LV torsion is simply and efficiently performed. However, there is currently a wide variation in the reporting of torsiona...
متن کاملLeft ventricular twist abnormalities in patients with left ventricular non-compaction. A cardiovascular magnetic resonance study
Background Current morphologic left ventricular (LV) non-compaction (LVNC) criteria seem to be still insufficient. The prevalence of borderline degree of LV hypertrabeculation is far more frequent than initially expected. LV twist and strain values are proposed as potential new functional parameters supplementing the classic morphologic LVNC criteria. The aim of this study was to assess diagnos...
متن کاملLeft ventricular pseudoaneurysm
A 72-year-old elderly male smoker with a known history of hypertension presented with a six day history of chest pain. His blood pressure at presentation was 110/70 mmHg and there was no audible murmur. ECG showed Q waves in the inferior leads (Figure 1A) and troponin level was elevated (14 μg/L). Chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly with linear atelectasis in both lung bases. The working diagnosi...
