The utility of free-breathing, motion-corrected late gadolinium enhancement for right ventricular fibrosis imaging in congenital heart disease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Ventricular fibrosis in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) has been shown to relate to adverse clinical markers.[1,2] Novel free-breathing, motion-corrected late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE CMR) has been shown to be advantageous in quantifying LV LGE, but has not been evaluated for RV LGE. [3] It may therefore also be beneficial in ACHD patients, particularly with RV LGE patterns. We sought to investigate its clinical utility in ACHD patients undergoing LGE CMR.

Background Right ventricular (RV) T1 quantification is desirable in managing congenital heart disease and pulmonary hypertension patients where RV fibrosis is implicated. RV T1 quantification is technically difficult because of the thin trabeculated mobile wall of complex geometry, impacted by adjacent blood and epicardial fat, plus proximity to sternal wires in some cases. Prior work has measu...

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with children is a complex exam because it requires cooperation of the children to stay motionless and perform multiple breath-holding. This issue is particularly accute for fibrosis detection with late gadolinium enhancement which requires strict immobility during acquisition. In many situations, children must undergo general anaesthesia because su...

SEE PAGES 1 AND 86 C hildhood repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is one of the great successes of congenital heart surgery, with now >90% of patients surviving to adulthood (1). Late complications including sudden death, atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, and heart failure, however, persist. After childhood repair, most patients with TOF are left with pulmonary regurgitation. Initially, even ...
