Endsystolic versus enddiastolic scar imaging for transmurality assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) technique has been an important achievement in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and is widely used to precisely localize and determine the amount of necrosis and fibrosis. The percentage of transmurality of LGE is inversely related to the likelihood of functional recovery after revascularisation. LGE imaging is usually performed in enddiastole as recommended by current guidelines of the SCMR. Whether or not endsystolic imaging would significantly influence transmurality in patients with ischemic scarring remains unclear.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this prospective clinical study was to follow up patients with acute myocardial infarction from the ischemic event, over the primary coronary intervention (PCI), up to the chronic phase after survived myocardial infarction by noninvasive strain rate (SR) imaging and to determine its role in the assessment of transmurality of infarction. METHODS In all, 41 patients with ac...

BACKGROUND Opening of an occluded infarct related artery reduces infarct size and improves survival in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In this study we performed tissue Doppler analysis (peak strain, displacement, mitral annular movement (MAM)) and compared with visual assessment for the study of the correlation of measurements of global, regional and segmental function with f...

PURPOSE To define the relationship between left ventricular (LV) regional contractile function and the extent of myocardial scar in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease and multi-vessel coronary artery disease. METHODS Twenty-three patients with chronic ischemic heart disease and 5 healthy volunteers underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In patients, the relative area (Percent S...
متن کاملLate gadolinium enhancement-cardiovascular magnetic resonance as a predictor of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy.
AIM To determine whether myocardial scarring, quantified using late gadolinium enhancement-cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR), predicts response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 45 patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy [age 67.1 +/- 10.4 years (mean +/- SD)] underwent assessment of 6 min walking distance (6MWD) and quality of life (QoL) befo...
