Combined stress myocardial perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement imaging by cardiac magnetic resonance provides robust prognostic information to cardiac events

چکیده
Background Accurate non-invasive risk stratification may management and impact survival of CAD patients. Stress perfusion CMR reliably assesses ventricular function, viability and myocardial ischemia in a single examination. While prognostic information may be derived from individual components of a comprehensive CMR exam, evidence that they provide complementary prognostic information is still limited. We sought to determine whether the presence of myocardial ischemia by stress perfusion CMR provides incremental prognostic information for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) beyond ventricular function, the presence of myocardial scar and traditional risk factors in a large cohort of patients referred for non-invasive assessment of CAD.

متن کاملComplementary prognostic values of stress myocardial perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement imaging by cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated the significant prognostic value of stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) myocardial perfusion imaging. Apart from characterizing reversible perfusion defect (RevPD) from flow-limiting coronary stenosis, CMR late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging is currently the most sensitive method for detecting subendocardial infarction (MI). We therefore tes...

Background Adenosine stress CMR is a non invasive test with high sensitivity for the detection of IHD, and is now frequently combined with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. This may augment its prognostic accuracy for predicting cardiovascular events. Previous studies have failed to appraise the combination of adenosine stress perfusion CMR with LGE for this purpose, and generally popu...
متن کاملStress myocardial perfusion imaging by CMR provides strong prognostic value to cardiac events regardless of patient's sex.
OBJECTIVES The major aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can provide robust prognostic value in women presenting with suspected ischemia, to the same extent as in men. BACKGROUND Compelling evidence indicates that women with coronary artery disease (CAD) experience worse outcomes than men owing to a lack of early diagnosis and manag...

Background—Although cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is capable of yielding extensive data in routine practice, the relative incremental prognostic value of adenosine stress perfusion, myocardial delayed enhancement (DE), and left ventricular volumes and function is unclear. Methods and Results—We followed up 908 consecutive patients who underwent combined CMR for suspicion of coronary ...
