Biopsy Based Diagnosis of Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy in a Patient with Negative Magnetic Resonance Image Finding
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article describes a case of the patient hospitalized for a sudden heart failure with severe left ventricular dysfunction. This case report presents a history of biopsy-proven inflammatory cardiomyopathy with negative MRI findings. Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy (ICM) is a potentially reversible disease, in which targeted treatment may be considered.

Introduction: Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in combination with computed-tomography (CT) is increasingly being used in radiation therapy planning. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculate dose distribution, respectively. Since the use of these two imaging modalities causes registration uncertainty and increases department w...
متن کاملAnalytical determination of the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) contrast in molecular magnetic resonance imaging
Magnetic resonance based on molecular imaging allows tracing contrast agents thereby facilitating early diagnosis of diseases in a non-invasive fashion that enhances the soft tissue with high spatial resolution. Recently, the exchange of protons between the contrast agent and water, known as the chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) effect, has been measured by applying a suitable pulse ...
متن کاملEvaluation of tissue doppler echocardiography and T2* magnetic resonance imaging in iron load of patients with thalassemia major
Background: Iron-mediated cardiomyopathy is the main complication of thalassemia major (TM) patients. Therefore, there is an important clinical need in the early diagnosis and risk stratification of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of tissue doppler imaging (TDI) to study cardiac iron overload in patients with TM using T2* magnetic resonance (MR) as the gold-standard...

ABSTRACT To determine the usefulness of a method of percutaneous needle muscle biopsy in patients with suspected idiopathic inflammatory Myopathy. The yield of percutaneous needle muscle biopsy was studied in 15 patients during 1997-2000 who were hospitalized in Hazrat Rasool Akram hospital. A diagnosis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy was confirmed histopathologically in 8 patients...
