Native T1 mapping identifies subclinical left ventricular myocardial t1 abnormality in patients with atrial fibrillation referred for pulmonary vein isolation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Native T1 mapping has emerged as a noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method to assess the diffuse myocardial fibrosis without an exogenous contrast agents. To date, no data are available regarding native left ventricular (LV) T1 relaxation time in AF patients referred for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The purpose of this study was to compare native myocardial T1 value between AF patients undergoing PVI and control subjects.

Diffuse ventricular fibrosis measured by T₁ mapping on cardiac MRI predicts success of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND There is a complex interplay between the atria and ventricles in atrial fibrillation (AF). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging provides detailed tissue characterization, identifying focal ventricular fibrosis with late gadolinium enhancement (ventricular late gadolinium enhancement) and diffuse fibrosis with postcontrast-enhanced T1 mapping. The aim of the present study was to i...
متن کاملRight Ventricular free wall myocardial tissue characterisation by systolic Cardiac Magnetic Resonance T1 mapping in pulmonary hypertension
Background Pulmonary hypertension is a rare progressive disorder characterised by elevated pulmonary artery pressure leading to right ventricular (RV) failure and death. Cardiac MR (CMR) derived right and left ventricular functional variables have shown to be prognostic in pulmonary hypertension. Native T1 mapping is a CMR technique of myocardial tissue characterisation without the need for a r...
متن کاملSystolic MOLLI T1 mapping with heart rate depends pulse sequence sampling scheme is feasible in patients with atrial fibrillation
BACKGROUND T1 mapping enables assessment of myocardial characteristics. As the most common type of arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation (AF) is often accompanied by a variety of cardiac pathologies, whereby the irregular and usually rapid ventricle rate of AF may cause inaccurate T1 estimation due to mis-triggering and inadequate magnetization recovery. We hypothesized that systolic T1 mapping with ...
متن کاملRescue pulmonary vein isolation for hemodynamically unstable atrial fibrillation storm in a patient with an acute extensive myocardial infarction
BACKGROUND New-onset atrial fibrillation in patients hospitalized for an acute myocardial infarction often leads to hemodynamic deterioration and has serious adverse prognostic implications; mortality is particularly high in patients with congestive heart failure and/or a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. The mechanism of atrial fibrillation in the context of an acute myocardial infar...
