Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Right Heart and Pulmonary Circulation Disorders
نویسندگان
چکیده
Right heart and pulmonary circulation disorders are generally caused by right ventricle (RV) pressure overload, volume cardiomyopathy, they associated with distinct clinical courses therapeutic approaches, although often may coexist. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a noninvasive accurate reproducible multiplanar anatomic functional assessment, tissue characterization, blood flow evaluation of the circulation. This article reviews current status CMR, most recent techniques, new parameters their utility in diagnosis, prognosis, management disorders.

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for the assessment of the heart and pulmonary circulation in pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension is a disease of the pulmonary arteries resulting in a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, ultimately leading to right ventricular failure and death. The functional capacity of the right ventricle is a major prognostic determinant. Our understanding of right ventricle performance in pulmonary hypertension has been hindered by the lack of techniques that ...
متن کاملThe right heart and pulmonary circulation (IX). The right heart in adults with congenital heart disease.
Right ventricular dysfunction is not uncommon in adults with congenital heart disease. In congenital heart disease, unlike acquired heart disease, the right ventricle is not always the subpulmonary ventricle: it may support the systemic circulation as it does in patients with transposition complexes. The result is chronic right ventricular pressure overload. In contrast, pulmonary valve regurgi...
متن کاملCardiovascular magnetic resonance in pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension represents a group of conditions characterized by higher than normal pulmonary artery pressures. Despite improved treatments, outcomes in many instances remain poor. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with pulmonary hypertension. This technique offers certain advantages over other imaging moda...
متن کاملCardiovascular magnetic resonance of the charcoal heart
We report a case of malignant melanoma metastasis to the heart presenting as complete heart block. The highlight of the case is to demonstrate that silent cardiac metastasis is not uncommon and CMR has the potential to characterize these cardiac metastases and should be used routinely as a screening tool for those cancers with a high chance of cardiac involvement.
