Global and regional extracellular volume and myocardial circumferential strain correlate significantly in a heterogeneous patient population

چکیده
Background Myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) quantification by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping technique has shown great promises in detecting diffuse fibrosis and interstitial diseases of the myocardium. In hypertensive and left ventricle hypertrophy (LVH) patients, increased ECV has been found to be associated with impaired myocardial strain, which is an early indicator of cardiac dysfunction. We hypothesized that in a heterogeneous patient population, ECV was significantly associated with myocardial strain, on the global and the more localized segmental bases.

Noninvasive separation of large, medium, and small myocardial infarcts in survivors of reperfused ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a comprehensive tissue Doppler and speckle-tracking echocardiography study.
BACKGROUND The objective of the study was to evaluate the ability of established and new parameters of global systolic left ventricle function to estimate myocardial infarct size. Increasing infarct extent is associated with impaired prognosis in chronic ischemic heart disease. Systolic myocardial deformation is a complex 3D process that is mainly influenced by the amount and transmural distrib...
متن کاملOccult cardiotoxicity in childhood cancer survivors exposed to anthracycline therapy.
BACKGROUND More than 50% of >270 000 childhood cancer survivors in the United States have been treated with anthracyclines and are therefore at risk of developing cardiotoxicity. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has demonstrated utility to detect diffuse interstitial fibrosis and changes in regional myocardial function. We hypothesized that CMR would identify occult cardiotoxicity characterized...

Introduction: Myocardial perfusion imaging using gated SPECT and phase analysis is an effective tool in evaluation of mechanical dyssynchrony. The purpose of this study was to determine the normal ranges of global and regional phase parameters. Methods: A total of 100 patients with normal resting and stress electrocardiograms, low pretest likelihood for c...
متن کاملLeft ventricular endocardial and epicardial strain changes with apical myocardial ischemia in an open‐chest porcine model
Early detection of acute myocardial ischemia is critical to prevent permanent myocardial damage. The impact of apical ischemia on global left ventricular (LV) function can be difficult to characterize using traditional volume-based echocardiography measures. Myocardial strain imaging is a sensitive, quantitative marker of myocardial deformation that can measure ventricular function. Recent adva...
متن کاملInvestigation of global and regional myocardial mechanics with 3-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography and relations to hypertrophy and fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), heterogeneous myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis are responsible for abnormalities of left ventricular (LV) function. We aimed to characterize LV global and regional myocardial mechanics in HCM, according to segmental hypertrophy and fibrosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty-nine patients with HCM underwent standard echocardiography, 3-dimensional s...
