Measurement of diastolic left ventricular function with ultra-fast phase contrast MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction MRI is the accepted gold standard for assessment of left ventricular systolic function; however, no standards are available to assess diastolic function at MRI. E/A and E/ e’ ratios are currently used in echocardiography to evaluate left ventricular diastolic function. Measuring these ratios with phase contrast MRI may provide a complementary approach to assessing left ventricular function.

متن کاملLEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC ABNORMALITIES IN β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR WITH NORMAL SYSTOLIC FUNCTION
In order to identify left ventricular diastolic function in patients with betathalassemia major and normal systolic function by noninvasive M-mode and Doppler echocardiography, an analytic study was designed in a university hospital in Sari. We have studied 44 patients (23 men and 21 women), mean age 15.48±2.16 (range 12 to 20) and 43 age and sex matched control subjects. Peak flow velocit...
متن کاملThe effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and quercetin supplementation on dimension and functional left ventricular adaptations in men with hypertension and CAD after PCI
Objective: The present study investigated the effects of 10-week High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and quercetin consumption on dimension and functional left ventricular adaptations in men with hypertension and coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental randomized, placebo‑controlled and double‑blind s...
متن کاملDoppler-Derived Myocardial Performance Index in Healthy Children in Shiraz
Background: Assessment of myocardial function is essential in heart disease, but in regard to systolic and diastolic functions such evaluation has limitation. Ejection fraction is difficult to assess in abnormally-shaped ventricles, and diastolic inflow velocity pattern may be fused because of tachycardia. Objective: A myocardial performance index (MPI) or Tei index has been developed for adult...
متن کاملVortex Ring Formation in Diastolic Dysfunction: Phase Contrast MRI of Left Ventricular Filling
Introduction The formation of vortices during left ventricular (LV) filling (Fig. 1) has been noted in several investigations using phase contrast (PC) MRI [1,2], but the effect of diastolic dysfunction (DD) on vortex formation has not been investigated. We hypothesize that impaired relaxation (IR) and increased stiffness of the LV wall in DD, will substantially alter the kinetics of the vortic...
