Measuring ventricular volumes during exercise with vertical long axis cines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Imaging cardiac function during exercise remains difficult. Some researchers interrupted the exercise to obtain data, but this is not physiological. Others used real time short axis cine imaging, which presents issues with respiratory motion. La Gerche et al (Circ. Cardiovasc. Imaging 2013) may have solved this by linking the short axis images to the respiratory cycle with additional long axis imaging, but using a not widely available in-house software. We set out to explore a feasible alternative method of scanning and analysis.

Prevalence of inferobasal myocardial crypts among patients referred for cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
BACKGROUND Crypts or clefts in the left ventricular inferobasal myocardium have been detected by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), but the extent to which they represent prephenotypic markers of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or incidental structural variants remains controversial. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined retrospectively the routine vertical long-axis cines in 686 consecutiv...
متن کاملTowards comprehensive assessment of mitral regurgitation using cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is increasingly used to assess patients with mitral regurgitation. Its advantages include quantitative determination of ventricular volumes and function and the mitral regurgitant fraction, and in ischemic mitral regurgitation, regional myocardial function and viability. In addition to these, identification of leaflet prolapse or restriction is necessary ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular function, aortic velocity, and late gadolinium enhancement assessed by real-time and single shot CMR is comparable to breath-held segmented imaging: a prospective study
Methods Thirteen patients referred to the CMR lab for evaluation of undiagnosed cardiomyopathy were prospectively enrolled. All patients were in regular cardiac rhythm and able to breath-hold. Standard segmented k-space images (including cine, velocity mapping (VM), and late-gadolinium enhancement (LGE)) were acquired during breathhold; real-time images (including cine, VM, and LGE) were acquir...
متن کاملEvaluation of left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction using fast steady-state cine MR imaging: comparison with left ventricular angiography.
Previous studies demonstrated that magnetic resonance (MR) imaging consistently underestimated angiographic measurements of left ventricular (LV) volumes. The purpose of this study was to determine whether MR imaging with steady-state free precession acquisition (SSFP) can provide improved accuracy and reproducibility in measuring cardiac function in comparison with fast spoiled gradient echo c...
متن کاملAssessment of the longitudinal and circumferential left ventricular function at rest and during exercise in healthy elderly individuals by tissue-Doppler echocardiography: relationship with heart rate.
Tissue-Doppler echocardiography (TDE) has been introduced to quantify stress echocardiography by means of assessing the left ventricular (LV) segmental myocardial velocities and excursion. The interaction between LV long- and short-axis function during physical exercise has not been elucidated completely. The aim of the present study was to investigate long- and short-axis LV function, as asses...
