Serial quantification of myocardial infarction tissue heterogeneity during infarct healing by cardiac MRI provides strong characterization of left ventricular remodeling (the NHLBI PROSPECT-CMR Study)
Background Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) with infarct tissue heterogeneity characterized by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has been shown to be associated with arrhythmogenic substrates and increased mortality. Preliminary data suggests that areas of heterogeneous signal intensity (SI) within an infarct may represent an admixture of myocardial fibrosis, ischemic cellular apoptosis...
متن کاملMyocardial Extracellular Volume Estimation by CMR Predicts Functional Recovery Following Acute MI
OBJECTIVES In the setting of reperfused acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the authors sought to compare prediction of contractile recovery by infarct extracellular volume (ECV), as measured by T1-mapping cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) transmural extent. BACKGROUND The transmural extent of myocardial infarction as assessed by LGE CMR is a strong predi...
متن کاملMyocardial Infarct Size by CMR in Clinical Cardioprotection Studies
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to review randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess myocardial infarct (MI) size in reperfused patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). BACKGROUND There is limited guidance on the use of CMR in clinical cardioprotection RCTs in patients with STEMI treated by primary percutaneous coronary i...
متن کاملRecovery of regional myocardial function and myocardial oedema following reperfused acute myocardial infarction
We investigated the relationship between myocardial oedema and recovery of regional myocardial function in patients with acute reperfused myocardial infarction (MI). Early after acute MI, oedema in the peri-infarct zone, as delineated by T2 weighted (T2w) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, demonstrated significantly reduced strain as compared to remote myocardium. The recovery of ...
متن کاملIn vivo chronic myocardial infarction characterization by spin locked cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND Late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is frequently used to evaluate myocardial viability, estimate total infarct size and transmurality, but is not always straightforward is and contraindicated in patients with renal failure because of the risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. T2- and T1-weighted CMR alone is however relatively insensitive to chroni...
