CMR in Heart Failure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heart Failure (HF) is a common syndrome with multiple causes. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a medical imaging technique with significant advantages, allowing the understanding of aetiology and pathophysiology of HF in the individual patient, permitting specific therapy to be administered and predicting prognosis. This paper discusses the diverse role of CMR in HF.

Does stress perfusion imaging improve the diagnostic accuracy of late gadolinium enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance for establishing the etiology of heart failure?
BACKGROUND Late gadolinium enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) has excellent specificity, sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy for differentiating between ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NICM). CMR first-pass myocardial perfusion imaging (perfusion-CMR) may also play role in distinguishing heart failure of ischemic and non-ischemic origins,...
متن کاملLeft atrial dilation in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction: Value of CMR Simpson method
Background Left atrial (LA) dilation is an important prognostic indicator in heart failure. CMR provides the gold standard for LA volume estimation using the volumetric short axis Simpson method. However, this requires the acquisition of additional images with breatholding which can be difficult in patients with heart failure. We investigated whether volume calculated by the biplane area-length...
متن کاملEstablishment and performance of a magnetic resonance cardiac function clinic.
Our objective was to establish a cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) cardiac function clinic to provide an assessment of cardiac volume, mass, and function in patients with heart failure on the same day as their cardiology outpatient clinic appointment. Sixty-four patients attended the CMR function clinic. The reproducibility, patient acceptability, and time efficiency of the CMR clinic wer...
متن کاملCardiovascular Magnetic Resonance GUIDEd management of mild-moderate left ventricular systolic Heart Failure (CMR GUIDE HF): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
Background Current heart failure guidelines recommend insertion of implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD) for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients whose left ventricular ejection fraction is (LVEF) ≤ 35% on maximally tolerated medical therapy. However, the majority of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with heart failure occurs in those with mild-moderate systolic ...
متن کاملImpact of cardiovascular magnetic resonance on management and clinical decision-making in heart failure patients
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can provide important diagnostic and prognostic information in patients with heart failure. However, in the current health care environment, use of a new imaging modality like CMR requires evidence for direct additive impact on clinical management. We sought to evaluate the impact of CMR on clinical management and diagnosis in patients with hea...
