Timing of post contrast T1 values affects the extracellular volume fraction in ST segment elevation myocardial infarction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Native T1 is increased in acute myocardial infarction. Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) can be calculated using T1 mapping following contrast. The timing of imaging following contrast in acute myocardial infarction is not established. 15 minutes has been proposed for conditions with and ECV < 0.4. 15 minutes may not be applicable in acute myocardial infarction due to infarct characteristics (ie MVO) impacting on contrast pharmacokinetics and the relatively higher ECV. The aim of this study was to determine if ECV is affected by the timing of imaging for post contrast T1 maps in STEMI.

CMR Native T1 Mapping Allows Differentiation of Reversible Versus Irreversible Myocardial Damage in ST-segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND CMR T1 mapping is a quantitative imaging technique allowing the assessment of myocardial injury early after ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. We sought to investigate the ability of acute native T1 mapping to differentiate reversible and irreversible myocardial injury and its predictive value for left ventricular remodeling. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixty ST-segment-elevation ...

UNLABELLED The natural history and pathophysiological significance of tissue remodeling in the myocardial remote zone after acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is incompletely understood. Extracellular volume (ECV) in myocardial regions of interest can now be measured with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Patients who sustained an acute STEMI were enrolled in a cohort study (BHF...
