Beyond Ejection Fraction and Fibrosis in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Global Strain by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Más allá de la fracción de eyección y la fibrosis en la miocardiopatía hipertrófica. Strain global por resonancia magnética cardíaca

Remodelamento reverso cirúrgico do ventrículo esquerdo: seguimento de 111 meses

Objective: To present the Instituto de Cirurgia Cardiovascular do Oeste do Paraná’ (ICCOP) surgical experience, on the treatment of left ventricle aneurysms, by endoventriculoplasty, with septal exclusion (EVSE), and a 111 months follow-up. Methods: Between April 1999 and April 2006, 28 patients were submitted to EVSE, by the author. Pre, trans and late post clinical and echocardiographic varia...

Cardiovascular imaging of a giant left ventricular aneurysm.

Doente do sexo masculino, 73 anos, com antecedentes pessoais de doença arterial coronária e enfarte agudo do miocárdio ínfero-posterior, referenciado à consulta de cardiologia por queixas de insuficiência cardíaca crónica NYHA III. O ecocardiograma transtorácico revelou a presença de pseudoaneurisma/aneurisma ventricular inferior e posterior gigante, preenchido parcialmente por trombo, e condic...

Giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm: A silent catastrophe Pseudoaneurisma gigante do ventrículo esquerdo - catástrofe silenciosa

P declare that no experiments were performed on humans or animals for this investigation. Pseudoaneurysms are a serious complication of myocardial infarction but can be asymptomatic and only detected by chance in patients with previous subclinical events. The images presented are of a 62-year-old man, a smoker, with no history of heart disease, admitted to our hospital for community-acquired pn...

Myocardial Viability on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

The study of myocardial viability is of great importance in the orientation and management of patients requiring myocardial revascularization or angioplasty. The technique of delayed enhancement (DE) is accurate and has transformed the study of viability into an easy test, not only for the detection of fibrosis but also as a binary test detecting what is viable or not. On DE, fibrosis equal to ...
