Measuring myocardial scar by CMR.

چکیده
c r o “ e m s d r w n Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as the gold-standard technique for imaging of myocardial scar. The basic principle is inversion-recovery imaging after a 5to 10-min delay following intravenous administration of gadolinium contrast (1). With appropriate settings, normal myocardium appears nulled or black, whereas nonviable regions appear bright or enhanced. The mechanism under-

Prevalence and distribution of regional scar in dysfunctional myocardial segments in Duchenne muscular dystrophy
BACKGROUND The segmental relationship between cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) peak circumferential strain (Ecc) and myocardial scar has not been well characterized in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and it is unknown whether echocardiography accurately measures Ecc in DMD. We assessed segmental Ecc and scar using CMR with myocardial tissue tagging and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE...
متن کاملDelayed enhancement and myocardial velocity mapping CMR reveal differences in regional left ventricular function with varying levels of scar
Background Delayed enhancement (DE) CMR is the gold standard for detecting irreversibly damaged myocardial tissue (scar). Yet, direct impact of scar on regional systolic and diastolic left ventricular (LV) function is not well understood. Standard tools for LV velocities (Tissue Doppler Imaging) are limited by poor reproducibility and incomplete assessment of all regions and motion directions. ...
متن کاملSimultaneous assessment of myocardial scar and coronary artery disease by navigator-gated 3D fat-suppressed delayed-enhancement CMR: comparison with 2D delayed-enhancement CMR, CT and CAG
Background Simultaneous assessment of myocardial scar or perfusion reduction and coronary artery stenosis is currently performed by side-by-side comparison or image fusion using coronary CTA and myocardial perfusion study, but the misregistration and differences in spatial resolution between imaging methods can be problematic. A CMR technique that can visualize both myocardial scar and coronary...
متن کاملScar extent evaluated by late gadolinium enhancement CMR: a powerful predictor of long term appropriate ICD therapy in patients with coronary artery disease
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) patients are at risk for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VA) related to scar tissue. Late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) can accurately identify myocardial scar extent. It has been shown that scar extent, particularly scar transmurality, percent scar and scar mass, are associated with the occurrence of approp...
متن کاملAssessment of Myocardial Scar; Comparison Between 18F-FDG PET, CMR and 99Tc-Sestamibi
OBJECTIVE Patients with heart failure and ischaemic heart disease may obtain benefit from revascularisation if viable dysfunctional myocardium is present. Such patients have an increased operative risk, so it is important to ensure that viability is correctly identified. In this study, we have compared the utility of 3 imaging modalities to detect myocardial scar. DESIGN Prospective, descript...
