Quantification of intra and inter-ventricular dyssynchrony in Ebstein's anomaly using cardiovascular magnetic resonance myocardial feature tracking
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Ebstein’s anomaly consists of varying degrees of tricuspid dysplasia and displacement into the right ventricular (RV) cavity, along with changes in ventricular function predominantly affecting the RV. Measuring alterations in contraction pattern and dyssynchrony may provide insights into ventricular performance in this disease. We sought to quantify right and left ventricular (RV and LV) deformation and dyssynchrony in a cohort of patients with Ebstein’s anomaly in comparison with normal controls using cardiovascular magnetic resonance myocardial feature tracking (CMR-FT).

Left ventricular synchrony, torsion, and recoil mechanics in Ebstein’s anomaly: insights from cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND Disease progression and heart failure development in Ebstein's Anomaly (EA) of the tricuspid valve is characterized by both right and left ventricular (LV) deterioration. The mechanisms underlying LV dysfunction and their role in heart failure development are incompletely understood. We hypothesized that LV dyssynchrony and impaired torsion and recoil mechanics induced by paradoxical...

Abstract—Heart failure–induced cardiovascular morbidity and mortality constitute a major health problem worldwide and result from diverse pathogeneses, including coronary artery disease, nonischemic cardiomyopathies, and arrhythmias. Assessment of cardiovascular performance is important for early diagnosis and accurate management of patients at risk of heart failure. During the past decade, car...

BACKGROUND Myocardial tagging using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold-standard for the assessment of myocardial mechanics. Feature-tracking cardiovascular magnetic resonance (FT-CMR) has been validated against myocardial tagging. We explore the potential of FT-CMR in the assessment of mechanical dyssynchrony, with reference to patients with cardiomyopathy and healthy controls....
متن کاملQuantification of biventricular myocardial function using cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking, endocardial border delineation and echocardiographic speckle tracking in patients with repaired tetralogy of fallot and healthy controls
BACKGROUND Parameters of myocardial deformation have been suggested to be superior to conventional measures of ventricular function in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), but have required non-routine, tagged cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) techniques. We assessed biventricular myocardial function using CMR cine-based feature tracking (FT) and compared it to speckle tracking echoca...
