Beat to beat volumetric analysis in arrhythmia using real time CMR
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background ECG-gated cardiac MRI is the gold standard for volumetric evaluation of patients, and clinically, ejection fraction is used as a surrogate for function. We hypothesized that the use of arrhythmia rejection in the presence of ectopic beats compromises the accuracy of hemodynamic measurements. Real-time MRI, coupled with ECG telemetry and semi-automated LV endocardial segmentation, can be used to identify multiple beat morphologies and derive global hemodynamic measurements for each beat.

User-initialized active contour segmentation and golden-angle real-time cardiovascular magnetic resonance enable accurate assessment of LV function in patients with sinus rhythm and arrhythmias
BACKGROUND Data obtained during arrhythmia is retained in real-time cardiovascular magnetic resonance (rt-CMR), but there is limited and inconsistent evidence to show that rt-CMR can accurately assess beat-to-beat variation in left ventricular (LV) function or during an arrhythmia. METHODS Multi-slice, short axis cine and real-time golden-angle radial CMR data was collected in 22 clinical pat...
متن کاملReal-time phase-contrast flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance with low-rank modeling and parallel imaging
BACKGROUND Conventional phase-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (PC-CMR) employs cine-based acquisitions to assess blood flow condition, in which electro-cardiogram (ECG) gating and respiration control are generally required. This often results in lower acquisition efficiency, and limited utility in the presence of cardiovascular pathology (e.g., cardiac arrhythmia). Real-time PC-CMR, ...
متن کاملSingle-beat versus multibeat real-time 3D echocardiography for assessing left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction: a comparison study with cardiac magnetic resonance.
BACKGROUND Real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) is superior to 2D echocardiography in assessing left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF), but its feasibility is limited by multibeat acquisition, which requires an optimal breath-hold and a regular heart rhythm. We sought to evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of single- and 2-beat RT3DE for LV volume and EF assessme...
متن کاملReal-time cardiovascular magnetic resonance at high temporal resolution: radial FLASH with nonlinear inverse reconstruction
BACKGROUND Functional assessments of the heart by dynamic cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) commonly rely on (i) electrocardiographic (ECG) gating yielding pseudo real-time cine representations, (ii) balanced gradient-echo sequences referred to as steady-state free precession (SSFP), and (iii) breath holding or respiratory gating. Problems may therefore be due to the need for a robust ECG...
متن کاملQuantification of Left Ventricular Function With Premature Ventricular Complexes Reveals Variable Hemodynamics.
BACKGROUND Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are prevalent in the general population and are sometimes associated with reduced ventricular function. Current echocardiographic and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging techniques do not adequately address the effect of PVCs on left ventricular function. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen subjects with a history of frequent PVCs undergoing car...
