[Clinical characteristics of fat replacement of left ventricular myocardium].
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical characteristics of left ventricular fat replacement. METHODS We identified 45 patients [28M/17F, mean age (51.9 ± 14.7) years] with left ventricular myocardial fat replacement (CT value ≤ -30 Hu) by cardiovascular CT. RESULTS Among 45 patients, 25 patients [20M/5F, mean age (61.2 ± 10.4) years]were diagnosed as coronary artery disease (CAD). There was 56%s...
متن کاملMeasurement of Left Ventricular Myocardium Wall Instantaneous Motions with Echocardiographic Sequence Images
Background & Aims: One of the important aims of quantitative cardiac image processing is the clarification of myocardial motions in order to derive biomechanical behavior of the heart in the disease condition. In this study we presented a computerized analysis method for detecting the instantaneous myocardial changes by using 2D echocardiography images. Methods: The analysis was performed on th...
متن کاملStudy on the distribution characteristics of affected myocardium in non-compaction of left ventricular myocardium
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the distribution characteristics of the diseased area in non-compaction of left ventricular myocardium. Methods: In combination with the standardized myocardial segmentation of the American Heart Association, color Doppler ultrasound was used to analyze the occurrence of lesions in each segment of left ventricular walls in 21 patients with non-compacti...
متن کامل[Isolated non-compaction of left ventricular myocardium].
Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium, also known as "spongy myocardium", is a rare congenital abnormality resulting from an arrest in the normal endomyocardial embryogenesis. The echocardiographic findings consist of multiple, prominent myocardial trabeculations and deep intratrabecular recesses in communication with the left ventricular cavity. This entity is a not well known cause of d...
