Abnormal Myocardial Function Is Related to Myocardial Steatosis and Diffuse Myocardial Fibrosis in HIV-Infected Adults.
BACKGROUND Impaired cardiac function persists in the era of effective human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) therapy, although the etiology is unclear. We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure intramyocardial lipid levels and fibrosis as possible contributors to HIV-associated myocardial dysfunction. METHODS A cross-sectional study of 95 HIV-infected and 30 matched-healthy adults, with...
متن کاملThe right ventricle in congenital heart disease - Cardiac T1 mapping for measurements of diffuse myocardial fibrosis
Background Measurements of myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) through cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) based T1 mapping allow for non-invasive quantification of diffuse myocardial fibrosis. The evaluation of the right ventricle (RV), often mainly affected in congenital heart disease (CHD), is complicated by its typical morphologic characteristics a thin myocardium and a distinct trabeculatio...

متن کاملMyocardial fibrosis: the heart of diastole?
SCD is a model for chronic and diffuse vasculopathy resulting in tissue infarction and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Much attention has been placed on diffuse endothelial disease in SCD. More recently, diastolic heart failure has been recognized as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the general population and more specifically in SCD patients. However, there has been a paucity of ...
متن کاملRight ventricular function in dilated cardiomyopathy: relation to location of focal myocardial fibrosis
Background Severe right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is an important prognostic parameter in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The relationship between myocardial fibrosis of the left ventricle (LV) and particularly the septum and right ventricular (RV) function remains poorly understood. We sought to investigate this relationship in a large cohort of DCM patients using cardiovascular magnetic res...
