Delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging predicts future arrhythmic events in primary prevention ICD candidates irrespective of ischemic or non-ischemic etiology
Introduction Risk prediction of first sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) is imperfect and based solely upon ejection fraction. Delayed enhancement (DE) MRI has been shown in both populations to identify those at higher risk of cardiovascular events. However, how this technique may predict arrhythmic events in ICD cand...
متن کاملTransient ischemic attacks: predictability of future ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack events
The short-term risk of an ischemic stroke after a transient ischemic attack (TIA) is estimated to be approximately 3%-10% at 2 days, 5% at 7 days, and 9%-17% at 90 days, depending on active or passive ascertainment of ischemic stroke. Various risk prediction scores are available to identify high-risk patients. We present here a pragmatic review of the literature discussing the main scoring syst...
متن کاملPrediction of arrhythmic events in ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathy patients referred for implantable cardiac defibrillator: evaluation of multiple scar quantification measures for late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging.
BACKGROUND Scar signal quantification using late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) identifies patients at higher risk of future events, both in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). However, the ability of scar signal burden to predict events in such patient groups at the time of referral for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator ...
متن کاملPrimary prevention of ischemic stroke.
To the Editor: In the American Heart Association’s Scientific Statement on the Primary Prevention of Ischemic Stroke,1 the committee did not mention an important predisposing cause of stroke, namely aortic arch atherosclerosis, except to say that it is a cause of stroke during heart surgery. This pathological condition is an independent risk factor for stroke,2 with a prevalence on the same ord...
متن کاملScar formation after ischemic myocardial injury in MRL mice.
INTRODUCTION MRL is a strain of mice with the unusual ability to recover from injuries without forming scar tissue. It was recently reported that the MRL mice can recover with little or no scar formation following a cryogenically induced myocardial infarction of the right ventricle. These findings suggest that scarless recovery from myocardial injury is possible in mammalian ventricles. If appl...
