Metabolic imaging Myocardial efficiency in heart failure: non invasive imaging
Any mechanical pump is far from efficient. Only a fraction of its input energy is ultimately converted to external work. In the case of the heart, this fraction is approximately 25%, and is defined as mechanical efficiency. Heart failure as a result of dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by a reduction in efficiency, the extent of which serves as an important prognostic marker. Despite its ...
متن کاملCardiac imaging approaches to evaluate drug-induced myocardial dysfunction.
The ability to make informed benefit-risk assessments for potentially cardiotoxic new compounds is of considerable interest and importance at the public health, drug development, and individual patient levels. Cardiac imaging approaches in the evaluation of drug-induced myocardial dysfunction will likely play an increasing role. However, the optimal choice of myocardial imaging modality and the...
متن کاملMyocardial iron load measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate cardiac systolic function in thalassemia
BACKGROUND The assessment of cardiac iron overload in thalassemia major has been considered as an important predictive factor of heart injury. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived relaxation time parameter (T2*) varies inversely with iron level, and elevated myocardial iron levels by T2* are associated with depressed left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF). We compared echocardiogr...
متن کاملEarly impairment of myocardial function in systemic sclerosis: non-invasive assessment by Doppler myocardial and strain rate imaging.
BACKGROUND Aim of the present study was to analyze both left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) myocardial function in patients with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc), and their relation to other instrumental features of the disease. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-five healthy subjects and 23 age- and sex-comparable asymptomatic patients classified as having either diffuse (11 patients) or limited form (12 p...
متن کاملStrain to evaluate ventricular function in Fontan patients undergoing exercise cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
Methods 28 Fontan subjects (median age 16.6 years, 14/28 morphologic left ventricle, 14/28 morphologic right ventricle) underwent a resting and exercise CMR. Standard high resolution, segmented balanced steady state free precession (SSFP) images were acquired with breath holds at rest. Cartesian real time (RT) cine images were acquired at rest then repeated at exercise, targeting the HR at anae...
