Impact of oxygen as a vasodilator on respiration-related Gontan hemodynamics assessed by real-time phase-velocity MRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Inhalative administration of oxygen increases pulmonary blood flow by vasodilation. Currently, flow rate quantification using conventional two-dimensional phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI) is not capable to study short-term effects due to averaging of flow information. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of oxygen supply on respiration-related flow rate variations by non-electrocardiographic triggered real-time phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI) in patients after total cavo-pulmonary connection (Fontan).

Respiratory pulsations affect fontan connection power loss: using real time velocity mapping to improve the accuracy of computational simulations
Background Total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) hemodynamics has been hypothesized to be associated with long-term complications in single ventricle heart defect patients. Breath-holding or averaged free-breathing segmented phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) has been commonly used for the boundary conditions in numerical simulations to evaluate TCPC hemodynamics. However, the i...

Methods Non-electrocardiographic triggered real-time PC-MRI using EPI combined with half-Fourier technique (TR/ TEeff/excitation angle = 12-14 ms/3.3 ms/40°, SENSEfactor = 4, temporal resolution = 24-28 ms) was applied to study respiration-driven SV fluctuations in the ascending aorta (AAo) and both caval veins (SVC, IVC) under natural and forced breathing in 34 healthy children and 10 pediatri...

Because cardiovascular disorders and stroke may induce Cheyne-Stokes respiration, our purpose was to study the interaction among cerebral activity, cerebral circulation, blood pressure, and blood gases during Cheyne-Stokes respiration. Ten patients with heart failure or a previous stroke were investigated during Cheyne-Stokes respiration with recordings of daytime polysomnography, cerebral bloo...

Background The accurate assessment of arterial blood flow is crucial for the diagnosis and management of patients with cardiovascular disease. Our aim was to systematically compare three phase-contrast (PC) MRI sequences for the quantification of aortic hemodynamics, including: 1) 2D time-resolved (CINE) PC MRI with one-directional through-plane (2D-1dir) velocity encoding; 2) 2D CINE PC MRI wi...
متن کاملReal-time cardiovascular PC imaging using undersampled radial FLASH and nonlinear inverse reconstruction
Introduction: Velocity-encoded phase-contrast MRI is a well established method for quantitative mapping of flow velocities. Cardiac MRI studies commonly rely on ECG and respiration synchronized cine acquisitions of multiple heartbeats either in the state of free breathing or suspended respiration. This approach may be affected with temporal and/or spatial averaging of phase information obtained...
