A simple method for characterizing left ventricular remodeling by cardiovascular magnetic resonance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Remodeling of the left ventricle (LV) occurs in response to various physiological and pathophysiological conditions. The American Society of Echocardiography recommend that LV remodeling be described as the relationship between LV mass and LV wall thickness based on 1-D and 2-D measurements. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides accurate 3-D measures of LV volumes and mass; however, there is no universally agreed upon approach to measure remodeling. We propose using the ratio of LV mass to LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) as the left ventricular remodeling index (LVRI).

The 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...

PURPOSE This study characterized the time course of ventricular remodeling subsequent to reperfused myocardial infarction (MI) in a rat model using cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. METHODS AND RESULTS Short axis cine MR imaging was used to measure left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular volumes in Lewis rats at baseline, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks post-MI. Vent...
متن کاملLeft ventricular remodeling leads to heart failure in mice with cardiac‐specific overexpression of VEGF‐B167: echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging study
Cardiac-specific overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-B167 is known to induce left ventricular hypertrophy due to altered lipid metabolism, in which ceramides accumulate to the heart and cause mitochondrial damage. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare different imaging methods to find the most sensitive way to diagnose at early stage the progressive left vent...
