Abnormal Myocardial Function Is Related to Myocardial Steatosis and Diffuse Myocardial Fibrosis in HIV-Infected Adults.
BACKGROUND Impaired cardiac function persists in the era of effective human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) therapy, although the etiology is unclear. We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure intramyocardial lipid levels and fibrosis as possible contributors to HIV-associated myocardial dysfunction. METHODS A cross-sectional study of 95 HIV-infected and 30 matched-healthy adults, with...
متن کاملAsymptomatic myocardial ischaemia in HIV-infected adults.
BACKGROUND Asymptomatic ischaemic heart disease (IHD) in HIV-infected patients has not been studied. METHODS Resting, 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) were evaluated for asymptomatic IHD (Q-wave and/or ST segment depression) at baseline from HIV-infected participants with no known IHD enrolling in the SMART study. The ECG recordings were standardized and centrally analysed. Factors associated...
متن کاملPheochromocytoma Is Characterized by Catecholamine-Mediated Myocarditis, Focal and Diffuse Myocardial Fibrosis, and Myocardial Dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Pheochromocytoma is associated with catecholamine-induced cardiac toxicity, but the extent and nature of cardiac involvement in clinical cohorts is not well-characterized. OBJECTIVES This study characterized the cardiac phenotype in patients with pheochromocytoma using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). METHODS A total of 125 subjects were studied, including patients with newly di...
متن کاملDiffuse myocardial fibrosis in pediatric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Background Fibrosis is a common end-point in pathological processes. It is unclear, however, if diffuse fibrosis occurs early in the pathogenesis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence of diffuse myocardial fibrosis in children and adolescents with HCM using quantification of T1 changes late after gadolinium administration and to assess for ...
متن کاملEvaluation of myocardial perfusion and function after kidney transplantation by Gated SPECT myocardial perfusion scintigraphy
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of successful kidney transplantation (KT) on myocardial perfusion and left ventricular function by both qualitative (visual) interpretation and semiquantitative parameters, using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy with gated-single photon emission computed tomography (gated-SPECT) in patients suffering from end-stage renal disease. ...
