DIAGNOSTIC METHODS MYOCARDIAL DISEASE Gallium-67 imaging in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and biopsy-proven myocarditis
Current standards for detection of myocarditis in a clinical setting rely on endomyocardial biopsy for accurate diagnosis. With this technique a subset of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy show unsuspected myocarditis histologically. Endomyocardial biopsy, despite its specificity, may lack sensitivity due to sampling error if the inflammation is patchy or focal. Therefore, inflammationsensit...

متن کاملThe value of myocardial perfusion imaging in differentiating between idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy from the ischemic form [Persian]
Introduction: Differentiating between ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) is important as coronary revascularization can improve prognosis in the ischemic subgroup. Due to inherent problems of coronary angiography in patients with depressed ejection fraction (EF) introducing a noninvasive tool to diagnose those who will benefit from angiography seems...
متن کاملis screening imaging necessary in dilated cardiomyopathy?
introduction dilated cardiomyopathy (dcm) is the leading cause of heart failure and arrhythmia. case presentation a 47-year-old male, diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, died due to heart failure. during the screening of his family members, his 17-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son also had dilated cardiomyopathy. another daughter had died suddenly at the age of 12 years. conclusions we he...
متن کاملMetabolic imaging Metabolic imaging in dilated cardiomyopathy
Cardiac metabolism is deranged in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Phosphorus-31 (P) and hydrogen1 (H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) allow for the non-invasive assessment of various aspects of cardiac metabolism, showing deranged cardiac energetics and lipid accumulation in DCM. In the future, MRS may become an important biomarker tool for monitoring the effects of novel heart-failure trea...
