Quantification of coronary enhancement - reproducibility of methods and feasibility of quantification in health and disease
Background Coronary enhancement (CE) imaging by magnetic resonance (MR) is a novel, non-invasive approach for visualization of contrast uptake within the coronary artery vessel wall. Quantification of CE may help to individualize subpopulations at risk for the benefit of early risk assessment and intervention. Here we sought to compare the reproducibility of several quantification methods and t...
متن کاملQuantification of left atrial volume using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging: comparison of left atrial volume index measurements using the Simpson's and bi-plane area-length methods
Background Increased left atrial volume index (LAVI) has been shown to be an independent predictor of hard cardiovascular events. It can be determined by calculating left atrial (LA) volume through the use of either Simpson’s method or area-length method and indexing it to body surface area (BSA). Although there is no standardized method of calculating LA volume using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcium (CAC) score – a prognostic tool in coronary artery disease?
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of measurement of coronary artery calcification score (CAC) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and a normal myocardial perfusion scan. Methods: In a prospective study we measured the calcium score of 74 patients (29 m, 45 f, mean age 58.7 (m) and 64.4 (f)) with suspicion of CAD and a normal perfusion scan. In ...

15 صفحه اولLeft atrial maximum volume is a recurrence predictor in lone atrial fibrillation: an acoustic quantification study.
Predictors of recurrence in lone atrial fibrillation have not been clearly identified. Acoustic quantification (AQ) is a promising method in the assessment of left atrial (LA) volumes. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the potential of LA volumes obtained by standard manual tracing and AQ methods in predicting AF-recurrence after restoring the sinus rhythm in patients with lon...
