چکیده

Background Right ventricular (RV) failure is associated with increasing morbidity and mortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Pressure overload in PAH leads to a complex series of changes in cardiomyocytes and the extracellular matrix of the RV. Thus, quantitative T1 mapping of the RV to assess myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) may be a valuable noninvasive marker of RV fibrosis in these patients. However, current clinically preferred T1 mapping techniques have limited spatial resolution, restricting their application to assessment of left ventricular (LV) ECV. We recently developed a novel technique, termed ANGIE, which uses navigator gating and acceleration with compressed sensing (CS) to provide high-resolution T1 mapping for assessment of thin structures such as the wall of the RV. The aim of the present study was to use ANGIE to test the hypothesis that RV ECV is elevated in patients with PAH compared to reference subjects.

Detection of elevated right ventricular extracellular volume in pulmonary hypertension using Accelerated and Navigator-Gated Look-Locker Imaging for Cardiac T1 Estimation (ANGIE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance

BACKGROUND Assessment of diffuse right ventricular (RV) fibrosis is of particular interest in pulmonary hypertension (PH) and heart failure (HF). Current cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping techniques such as Modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) imaging have limited resolution, but accelerated and navigator-gated Look-Locker imaging for cardiac T1 estimation (ANGIE) is...

Right ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease

Introduction:  In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...

Myocardial fibrosis with T1 mapping and right ventricular performance in pulmonary hypertension

Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) leads to progressive right ventricular (RV) dilatation, hypertrophy, and systolic dysfunction. PH is also associated with the presence of late gadolinium enhancement in the interventricular septum (IVS). Post-contrast T1 mapping is a previously validated non-invasive technique for the quantification of extracellular volume increase as a surrogate of diffus...
