Myocardial Strain Imaging in a Patient With Secondary Hemochromatosis

myocardial deformation indices in patients with significant aortic regurgitation: a strain rate imaging study

conclusions our results demonstrated the ability of pw-tdi and s/sr modalities in detection of the early subclinical abnormalities in asymptomatic patients with significant chronic ar. results ar group had significantly increased lv end systolic and end diastolic volumes, interventricular septum and posterior wall thickness compared to controls. in ar, sm and em of septal wall, sm of lateral wa...

Myocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction

Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...

myocardial strain and strain rate imaging: comparison between doppler derived strain imaging and speckle tracking echocardiography

Secondary hemochromatosis. I. Transfusion (exogenous) hemochromatosis.

(" bronszed diabetes ") is a condition of unknown etiology in which the body iron stores are vastly inscreased ansd in which there is portal cirrhosis of the liver. Diabetes, pigmenstation of the skins, and pan-creatic fibrosis are frequently, though not invariably, present. Numerous blood transsfusionss ins certain patienits have resulted ins the productions of a condition clinically somewhat ...

Myocardial Strain Imaging with Tagged MRI

A 4-D B-spline model has been created to accurately capture the dynamic motion of the heart from tagged magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enabling displacement field reconstruction of myocardial deformation. The 4-D model is allowed to deform based on the location of the tag lines for all frames within the constraints of the model’s spatiotemporal internal energy. From a displacement field, the ...
