Crown years for non-invasive cardiovascular imaging (Part III): 30 years cardiovascular magnetic resonance
نویسنده
چکیده
2013 is a remarkable year in cardiovascular medicine from a historical point of view. It can be considered a crown year for non-invasive clinical cardiovascular imaging as we can look back on 60 years of echocardiography, 40 years of nuclear cardiology, 30 years of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, and 30 years of cardiac computed tomography. In previous Editor’s Comments, 60 years of echocardiography and 40 years of nuclear cardiology were described (Parts I and II) [1, 2]. In this Editor’s Comment (Part III) we will briefly look back to the roots of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and its main achievements.

متن کاملEvaluation of tissue doppler echocardiography and T2* magnetic resonance imaging in iron load of patients with thalassemia major
Background: Iron-mediated cardiomyopathy is the main complication of thalassemia major (TM) patients. Therefore, there is an important clinical need in the early diagnosis and risk stratification of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of tissue doppler imaging (TDI) to study cardiac iron overload in patients with TM using T2* magnetic resonance (MR) as the gold-standard...
متن کاملCardiovascular magnetic resonance in pregnancy: Insights from the cardiac hemodynamic imaging and remodeling in pregnancy (CHIRP) study
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease in pregnancy is the leading cause of maternal mortality in North America. Although transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the most widely used imaging modality for the assessment of cardiovascular function during pregnancy, little is known on the role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). The objective of the Cardiac Hemodynamic Imaging and Remodeling in...
متن کاملPublication trends in noninvasive cardiovascular imaging: 1991-2011: a retrospective observational study.
The last twenty years have seen an explosive growth in cardiovascular disease research. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the characteristics of published research in the field of non-invasive cardiovascular imaging research from 1991-2011. Our aims were to determine: (1) the origin of the studies (international or from the U.S.) (2) differences in funding sources for U.S. publications a...
متن کاملMRI to Assess Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathies are diseases of the myocardium associated with cardiac dysfunction. The latest report of the World Health Organization classifies them according to the dominant pathophysiology (Table 1). The diagnosis of cardiomyopathy has been greatly improved in recent years by non-invasive imaging techniques. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance, or CMR, is now firmly established in clinical a...
