Cardiac sarcoidosis with severe involvement of the right ventricle: a case report
We present the case of a patient who underwent cardiac transplantation with the diagnosis of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Once the explanted heart was examined, a type of granulomatous myocarditis compatible with cardiac sarcoidosis was observed. However, there was severe involvement of the right ventricle, with markedly reduced width of the muscular layer and extensive fibrofatty replace...
متن کاملAssessment of myocardial strain in patients with myocarditis by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
Background Myocarditis is associated with a considerable morbidity and mortality in the acute phase as well as in the long term. It is found in up to 12% of young adults with sudden cardiac death and is regarded as a cause of dilated cardiomyopathy which is currently the most frequent reason for heart transplantation. Therefore, techniques for the diagnosis and the assessment of prognosis are o...
متن کاملSerum Lipidomics Meets Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Profiling of Subjects at Risk of Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), characterized by left ventricular dilatation and systolic dysfunction, constitutes a significant cause for heart failure, sudden cardiac death or need for heart transplantation. Lamin A/C gene (LMNA) on chromosome 1p12 is the most significant disease gene causing DCM and has been reported to cause 7-9% of DCM leading to cardiac transplantation. We have previously p...
متن کاملDescription of A/C gene mutation related dilated cardiomyopathy with gadolinium- enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
Introduction Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major cause of heart failure and sudden cardiac death. About one third of DCM is familial. Several DCM disease genes have been identified, many of them limited to only single individuals or families. A/C gene (LMNA) is sofar the most significant disease gene of DCM. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role in characterizatio...
متن کاملThe Correlation between Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Documented by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...
