Systolic T1 mapping for estimation of myocardial diffuse fibrosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Parametric T1 mapping currently allows non-invasive estimation of diffuse left-ventricular fibrosis. Imaging for T1 mapping is usually acquired during the diastolic phase. However, in tachycardia and arrhythmia, diastasis is short and imaging challenging. Conversely, systolic T1 mapping might offer an advantage and further enable more accurate ROI delineation for T1 maps as the myocardium is thicker. Although motion is also more likely during image generation. Recent studies using various T1 mapping sequences in systole have usually shown small differences (~1-2%) between systolic and diastolic T1 values [1-4] but older studies had shown larger differences [5]. We investigated the difference between systolic and diastolic T1 mapping using Siemens investigational prototype 448B.

Systolic ShMOLLI T1-mapping is feasible in tachyarrhythmia, with improved image quality compared to diastolic readout
Background T1-mapping using the Shortened Modified Look-Locker Inversion Recovery (ShMOLLI) technique [1] enables assessment of myocardial characteristics, such as oedema, scar and diffuse fibrosis. However, cardiac pathology is often accompanied by tachyarrhythmia, which may cause mistriggering and inaccurate T1 estimation. We hypothesised that systolic T1-mapping may overcome this issue witho...

Background Development of diffuse myocardial fibrosis in aortic stenosis (AS) has been associated with an adverse prognosis. Measurement of extracellular volume (ECV) from T1 mapping contrast magnetic resonance (CMR), has been recently validated as a non-invasive method for assessment of such diffuse myocardial fibrosis.Our objective was to evaluate the functional consequences of diffuse myocar...
متن کاملDiffuse myocardial fibrosis and early strain abnormalities in asymptomatic type 2 diabetics without overt cardiovascular disease
Background Type 2 diabetes has been associated with a higher prevalence of diastolic dysfunction and congestive heart failure. A hypothesized contributor is the accelerated accumulation of diffuse myocardial fibrosis. In a cohort of type 2 diabetic patients without overt cardiovascular disease, we sought to explore the capacity of quantitative T1 mapping and feature-tracking based strain analys...
متن کاملExtracellular volume assessed by CMR T1-mapping correlates with histologically determined amount of diffuse fibrosis in DCM
Background Diffuse myocardial fibrosis (MF) in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is closely related to systolic and diastolic cardiac failure and could be identified as a major independent value prediciting clinical outcome. It results from elevated levels of collagen and is therefore associated with an expansion of the extracellular volume (ECV). Up to now, the detection of MF requires myocardial b...

The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between imaging surrogates for diffuse fibrosis and myocardial dysfunction. Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were classified into two groups: a control group (n = 18) and an alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus (DM) group (n = 18). For all rabbits, conventional ultrasonography, two-dimensional speckle tracking, and cardiac magnetic res...
