Magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis of carcinoid heart disease.
Carcinoid tumors are associated with the production of a number of bioactive substances that might deposit on the endocardium (endocardial fibroelastosis) and produce cardiac failure. Carcinoid heart disease usually presents as right-sided valvular heart disease. Even if the diagnosis is frequently made by transthoracic echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging adds valuable informat...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of ischemic heart disease.
Cardiac MRI has long been recognized as an accurate and reliable means of evaluating cardiac anatomy and ventricular function. Considerable progress has been made in the field of cardiac MRI, and cardiac MRI can provide accurate evaluation of myocardial ischemia and infarction (MI). Late gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced MRI can clearly delineate subendocardial infarction, and the assessment of transmur...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging in Congenital Heart Disease
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly being applied to critically ill newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD) with the hope of understanding mechanisms accounting for adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. This powerful technique has opened an unprecedented window into normal development and pathogenesis during fetal life and surrounding surgery. Much as the technological advances ...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging in ischaemic heart disease.
Magnetic resonance imaging has an increasing role in the assessment of ischaemic heart disease. Its superb spatial and temporal resolution currently allows accurate assessment of cardiac function, regional wall motion, and the extent of myocardial infarction. Regional myocardial perfusion can also be assessed, most commonly by a first-pass technique. Non-invasive imaging of the coronary arterie...
