Identification of patients with myocarditis by cardiovascular magnetic resonance: T1- and T2-mapping are superior compared to conventional semi-quantitative techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Current semi-quantitative cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) techniques are of limited diagnostic value in patients with suspected myocarditis. T1and T2-mapping CMR are promising novel quantitative approaches to assess myocardial injury. This study evaluated the performance of T1 and T2 mapping CMR to identify patients with myocarditis in comparison with conventional CMR techniques.

متن کاملT1 and T2 mapping cardiovascular magnetic resonance to monitor the course of myocarditis
Background Myocarditis is a heterogeneous disease with a large spectrum of possible clinical courses ranging from complete healing to end stage heart failure. However, there is a lack of reliable prognostic factors to identify patients with an adverse outcome. T1 and T2 mapping are promising novel diagnostic cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) tools for a quantitative assessment of the dyna...
متن کاملDifferentiation between active myocarditis and dilative cardiomyopathy in new-onset systolic heart failure: Potential role of T1 and T2 mapping cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Background There is an overlapping phenotype in patients with newonset systolic heart failure due to myocarditis and dilative cardiomyopathy (DCM). Differentiation between both etiologies has important therapeutic and prognostic implications and is currently based on endomyocardial biopsy (EMB). In contrast, current cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) techniques are of limited value in thes...
متن کاملT1 and T2 mapping CMR to quantify focal myocardial injury in patients with myocarditis
Background Focal myocardial injury is an important diagnostic feature of myocarditis and is typically assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images. T1 mapping, T2 mapping, and extracellular volume (ECV) imaging are novel techniques which potentially improve the diagnostic value of CMR in myocarditis. This study evaluated the potential of T1 and...
