4D strain analysis within non-infarcted myocardium of patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy: potential marker for the prediction of adverse cardiac events
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Adverse left ventricular remodeling following myocardial infarction (MI) remains one of the strongest prognostic indicators of adverse cardiac events. Increased wall stress and biomechanical strain within non-infarcted myocardium contribute to myocyte hypertrophy, fibrosis, and late adverse remodeling. This study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of performing 4D strain analysis within noninfarcted myocardial segments through spatial registration to late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) patients.

Refining the characterization of residual function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy through remote segment 4D strain analysis
Background Quantitative assessment of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has been associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, patients with lesser degrees of LGE may still remain at high risk of adverse cardiac events due to the diffuse pathophysiology of HCM. Non-i...

Background Myocardial strain analysis has been proposed as a surrogate for regional replacement fibrosis (scar) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). However, contractile function is often degraded in non-scarred tissue, conceivably due to a composite of interstitial fibrosis, metabolic aberrations and abnormal electro-mechanical coupling. We tested a novel 4D strain analysis tool to ...

BACKGROUND Successful autologous skeletal myoblast transplantation into infarcted myocardium in a variety of animal models has demonstrated improvement in cardiac function. We evaluated the safety and feasibility of transplanting autologous myoblasts into infarcted myocardium of patients undergoing concurrent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implan...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Function by a Nuclear Imaging Technique using Technetium-99m-MIBI Uptake Kinetics
Mitochondria play an important role in energy production for the cell. The proper function of a myocardial cell largely depends on the functional capacity of the mitochondria. Therefore it is necessary to establish a novel and reliable method for a non-invasive assessment of mitochondrial function and metabolism in humans. Although originally designed for evaluating myocardial perfusion, 99mTc...
متن کاملEvaluation of transesophageal echocardiography in detecting cardiac sources of emboli in ischemic stroke patients
Background: Embolus is one of the causes of ischemic stroke that can be due to cardiac sources such as valvular heart diseases and atrial fibrillation and atheroma of the aorta. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is superior in identifying potential cardiac sources of emboli. Due to insufficient data on TEE findings in ischemic stroke in Iran, the present study was done to evaluate TEE in...
