Multiple myocardial crypts on modified long-axis view are a specific finding in pre-hypertrophic HCM mutation carriers.
AIMS Crypts can be found with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) mutation carriers without hypertrophy (carriers) using a modified two-chamber view through the inferoseptum, but also in other patients and healthy individuals with standard long-axis views. Since it is currently unknown if carriers display a specific crypt morphology, we compared ...
متن کاملPrevalence and characteristics of myocardial crypts in Japanese patients referred for cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Background Myocardial crypts are narrow, blood-filled invaginations within the left ventricle (LV) wall and detected by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Recent studies show that a higher prevalence of crypts in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and genotype positive but phenotype negative relatives. Other studies show that myocardial crypts are relatively common in the nor...
متن کاملDetermination of Uterus Absorbed Dose by Patients following Myocardial Perfusion Scan using TLD and Conjugate View Methods
Introduction: The determination of patient’s absorbed dose is the first step of radiation protection which depends on the quantification of organ activity in nuclear medicine. The aim of the present study was to determine the absorbed dose by patient’s uterus following myocardial perfusion scan with 99mTC-sestamibi using Theroluminescnce dosimetry (TLD) and conjugate-view metho...
متن کاملPrevalence of myocardial crypts in a cardiac magnetic resonance population - a large cohort study
Background Myocardial crypts are discrete clefts or fissures in otherwise compacted myocardium of the left ventricle (LV) commonly located in basal inferior or inferoseptal segments. Few small studies reported higher prevalence of crypts in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or their unexpressed relatives, and linked crypts to a marker of genotype positive phenotype negative carrie...
متن کاملPrevalence and clinical profile of myocardial crypts in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), cardiovascular MR can detect morphological abnormalities of the left ventricle (LV) not visualized with echocardiography. Although myocardial crypts (ie, narrow, blood-filled invaginations within the LV wall) have been recognized in HCM, all clinical implications of these structural abnormalities within the broad clinical HCM spectrum are not com...
