Delayed enhancement and myocardial velocity mapping CMR reveal differences in regional left ventricular function with varying levels of scar
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Delayed enhancement (DE) CMR is the gold standard for detecting irreversibly damaged myocardial tissue (scar). Yet, direct impact of scar on regional systolic and diastolic left ventricular (LV) function is not well understood. Standard tools for LV velocities (Tissue Doppler Imaging) are limited by poor reproducibility and incomplete assessment of all regions and motion directions. Myocardial CMR velocity mapping (MVM) is reproducible, non-invasive, and allows direct measure of myocardial velocities of all LV motion components in all regions. Here, we analyze effects of LV scar burden on myocardial motion.

MR tissue phase mapping reveals reduced left ventricular velocities in patients with myocardial scar
Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the reference standard for assessing biventricular systolic function. However, global measures of systolic function (i.e. ejection fraction) are relatively insensitive to regional alterations in myocardial structure, creating a need for quantitative analysis for regional myocardial function. Tissue phase mapping (TPM) is a CMR imaging techn...

has emerged as a new noninvasive modality in the investigation of cardiovascular disease during the last decade. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has well-established imaging capabilities for the assessment of global and regional left ventricular (LV) function and mass. Its potential for the assessment of ischaemic heart disease is currently being explored in many centres. The main focus...
متن کاملPrevalence and distribution of regional scar in dysfunctional myocardial segments in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
BACKGROUND The segmental relationship between cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) peak circumferential strain (Ecc) and myocardial scar has not been well characterized in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and it is unknown whether echocardiography accurately measures Ecc in DMD. We assessed segmental Ecc and scar using CMR with myocardial tissue tagging and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE...

Background The presens of myocardial scar tissue as a potential arrhythmogen substrate may influence the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Delayed enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) allows accurate detection and visualization of myocardial scar tissue. We thought to detect myocardial scar tissue in patients with CAD and preserved left ventricular (LV) function without regional wal...
متن کاملAssociation between left atrial function using multimodality tissue tracking from cine MRI and myocardial scar in the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis (MESA)
Background Left atrial (LA) function is strongly related to left ventricular (LV) filling pressures and has shown association to cardiovascular outcomes. A recently developed speckle tracking technique can assess LA deformation using CMR cine sequences. Myocardial scar assessed by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE-CMR) relates to cardiac remodeling, but its association to LA function is unknown....
