Correlation of electrocardiographic conduction abnormalities with myocardial fibrosis and scar in late enhancement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Late Gadolinium enhancement represents a widely employed method for detecting myocardial scarring e.g. after myocardial infarction or for myocardial Inflammation. A frequent finding is slight basal septal enhancement as well as intramyocardial enhancement, mostly referred as myocardial fibrosis. Less is known about the impact on myocardial conduction and a possible correlation to ECG findings such as atrioventricular node conduction delay and bundle branch blockations.

Introduction: Accurate delineation of myocardial fibrosis in Late Gadolinium Enhancement on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (LGE-CMR) has a crucial role in the assessment and risk stratification of HCM patients. As this is time-consuming and requires expertise, automation can be essential in accelerating this process. This study aims to use Unet-based deep learning methods to automate the mentioned ...

Background Although surgery have improved the prognosis for patients who repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF); late ventricular dysfunction, scar and fibrosis remains a problem which weakens the prognosis. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) also shows this scar tissue and fibrosis. In these patients decreasing in the right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction ...

متن کاملECG quantification of myocardial scar in cardiomyopathy patients with or without conduction defects: correlation with cardiac magnetic resonance and arrhythmogenesis.
BACKGROUND Myocardial scarring from infarction or nonischemic fibrosis forms an arrhythmogenic substrate. The Selvester QRS score has been extensively validated for estimating myocardial infarction scar size in the absence of ECG confounders, but has not been tested to quantify scar in patients with hypertrophy, bundle branch/fascicular blocks, or nonischemic cardiomyopathy. We assessed the hyp...

BACKGROUND Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a significant cause of sudden cardiac death in the young. Improved noninvasive assessment of ARVC and better understanding of the disease substrate are important for improving patient outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 20 genotyped ARVC patients with a broad spectrum of disease using electrocardiographic imaging (a met...
