Native T1 values in discrimination between in acute and chronic myocarditis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results Compared to controls (n = 40), native T1 values were increased in both acute and chronic myocarditis at both field strengths (controls vs. acute vs. chronic myocarditis; 1.5T: native T1 (msec): 940 ± 17 vs. 1070 ± 34 vs. 998 ± 28, p < 0.001; 3T: 1045 ± 18 vs. 1182 ± 66 vs. 1094 ± 15, p < 0.001). Native T1 values were significantly higher in acute vs. chronic myocardium (p < 0.001). Native T1 was identified as the independent discriminator between health and disease, as well as acute and chronic myocarditis (Figure 1). Native T1 showed gradual reduction of values between acute and chronic stage of myocardial inflammation.

Standardised postprocessing of native T2 in detection and discrimination of myocarditis - comparison with native T1 mapping
Background T2 mapping by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been recently proposed as a robust and accurate technique to identify the presence myocardial inflammation. Standardization of post-processing, including assessment of reproducibility and discrimination between health and disease, is necessary for implementation of this technique in clinical practice. Acute myocarditis is char...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular magnetic resonance offers both diagnostic and prognostic information in myocarditis. Using an established animal model of myocarditis, the aim of this study was to measure myocardial T1 before the onset, in the acute and in the chronic phases of the disease and to compare its course with histological and immunohistochemistry findings. METHODS Male young Lewis rats we...

OBJECTIVES T1 mapping allows quantitative myocardial assessment, but its value in clinical routine remains unclear. We investigated, whether the average native myocardial T1 value can be used as a diagnostic classifier between healthy and diffuse diseased myocardium. METHODS Native T1 mapping was performed in 54 persons with healthy hearts and in 150 patients with diffuse myocardial pathologi...

Eosinophilic myocarditis is a disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the myocardium, consisting of acute necrotic stage, thrombotic stage, and fibrotic stage. Although T1 mapping has been increasingly used in various cardiac pathologies, there has been no report of T1 mapping in eosinophilic myocarditis. We report a case of 75-year-old female with eosinophilic myocarditis, whose ...
متن کاملMyocardial T2 mapping for improved detection of inflammatory myocardial involvement in acute and chronic myocarditis
Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) increasingly adds to clinical conformation of the diagnosis in patients with suspected myocarditis. The proposed Lake Louise Consensus Criteria ("any-two” approach) can separate from chronic forms of myocardial inflammation. However, both global enhancement ratio (GRE) and T2-weighted imaging are underutilized, due to poor reproducibility and high sus...
