T2-mapping and T1-mapping detect myocardial involvement inTako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy: a preliminary experience
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background T2and T1-mapping are novel CMR techniques allowing objective tissue characterization. These techniques have been shown to be superior to dark blood imaging in NSTEMI patients in detecting ischaemic area at risk and acute oedema. These methods have not been assessed in Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TC).The aim of the study was to assess myocardial involvement using T2and T1mapping in Tako-Tsubo cardiomyopathy (TC).

Improved detection of myocardial involvement in acute inflammatory cardiomyopathies using T2 mapping.
BACKGROUND T2-weighted cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is useful in diagnosing acute inflammatory myocardial diseases, such as myocarditis and tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTCM). We hypothesized that quantitative T2 mapping could better delineate myocardial involvement in these disorders versus T2-weighted imaging. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty patients with suspected myocarditis or TTCM, refer...
متن کاملT1 and T2 mapping detect myocardial edema after repeated 200J electrical cardioversion
Background Electrical defibrillation and cardioversion are important and sometimes life-saving interventions. However, it remains controversial whether the intervention itself can significantly damage the heart. Myocardial edema is an early feature of myocardial injury that can be visualized by T2-weighted sequences. Newer approaches utilize T2 as well as T1 mapping techniques. We used T1 and T...
متن کاملPerformance of T1 mapping vs. T2 mapping for assessing myocardial edema
Background Edema is an early feature of acute myocardial injury. Signal-intensity based analysis of T2-weighted images is established but known to have a high variability. T2 mapping and, more recently, T1 mapping have been proposed for assessing myocardial edema. We investigated the ability to accurately detect myocardial edema following defibrillation with T2 maps and two different T1 mapping...
متن کاملMyocardial T1 mapping as a diagnostic tool in pediatric patients with a concern for cardiac disease
Background Myocardial tissue characterization with both native T1 mapping and T1 mapping following gadolinium based contrast agents (T1 enhanced) has emerged as an important asset of CMR imaging [1]. However, there is only minimal experience in pediatrics [2]. Native T1 has shown to be a marker of myocardial edema, and may play a role in pathologic states such as myocarditis [3]. T1 enhanced ma...
متن کاملNon-contrast T1-mapping detects acute myocardial edema with high diagnostic accuracy: a comparison to T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND T2w-CMR is used widely to assess myocardial edema. Quantitative T1-mapping is also sensitive to changes in free water content. We hypothesized that T1-mapping would have a higher diagnostic performance in detecting acute edema than dark-blood and bright-blood T2w-CMR. METHODS We investigated 21 controls (55 ± 13 years) and 21 patients (61 ± 10 years) with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy o...
