Initial description of changes in wall motion parameters in normal subjects undergoing rest/regadenoson stress using a tagged MRI sequence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Changes in global and regional wall motion between rest and stress are important prognostic markers, uncommonly observed with vasodilator stress radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Cardiac MRI (CMR) with tagging has the potential to more precisely quantify normal and abnormal ventricular wall motion responses. We herein report CMR findings in 5 very low-likelihood patients for CAD undergoing rest/regadenoson stress with tagging.

Assessment of transient ischemic dilation with cardiac MRI
Background Transient ischemic dilation of the left ventricle may be suggestive of global myocardial ischemia on SPECT stress imaging. While SPECT stress/rest imaging relies on computation-adjusted volumetric data to calculate a stress/rest “TID ratio,” measured at 20 to 30 minutes after peak regadenoson stress, cardiac MRI (CMR) allows for the direct measurement of LV wall thickness and cavity ...
متن کاملRegadenoson stress induced wall motion abnormalities during cardiac MRI
Methods Patients underwent regadenoson CMR that included 3 (basal, mid, apical) slices of rest and peak stress real-time cines, with matching stress and rest first-pass perfusion, and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. The reference standard for presence or absence of CAD was derived from invasive coronary angiography or coronary CT angiography (CTA). Invasive angiography established si...

Methods Seventeen healthy normal volunteers with Framingham score less than 1% underwent vasodilator stress testing with regadenoson using a SSFP sequence. Rest imaging (Rest 1) was performed initially. Twenty minutes later, regadenoson 400mcg was administered as a 10 second injection with saline flush. Stress imaging was done 70 seconds after the injection. All volunteers received aminophyllin...
متن کاملInitial results of a new very rapid rest/regadenoson stress myocardial perfusion protocol in patients with atrial fibrillation
Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) myocardial perfusion is a well established method for detection of significant obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). In patients with arrhythmias, standard methods using ECGgating can result in poor image quality. Additionally, with typical stress/rest protocols, a true rest state may not be achieved after administration of regadenoson. Ho...

Introduction:In this study, a non-invasive method based on consecutive ultrasonic image processing is introduced to assess time rate changes of the carotid artery wall displacement, velocity and acceleration in the longitudinal direction. The application of these parameters to discriminate healthy and atherosclerotic arteries was evaluated. Methods:Longitudinal displacement rate of common ...
