Coronary endothelial function using 3T MRI is inversely related to body mass index
Background Although obesity is a known risk factor for future cardiovascular events [1], its relationship to coronary endothelial function, which is impaired in early atherosclerosis, is not completely understood. By means of previously described non-invasive 3T MRI methods combined with isometric handgrip to assess endothelialdependent coronary vasoreactivity [2], we sought to test the hypothe...
متن کاملRegional coronary endothelial function is related to local coronary wall thickness in CAD patients using 3T MRI
Background Coronary endothelial function (endoFx) is an important physiologic indicator of vascular function. Abnormal function is present in patients with established coronary disease (CAD) and was recently shown to relate to the severity of luminal stenosis. However, luminal stenosis occurs late in the process of atherosclerosis, and a the extent to which abnormal coronary endoFx occurs early...
متن کاملis age of menarche related with body mass index?
prediction of the onset of menstruation (menarche age) using height, weight and body mass index (bmi) is a major health procedure. the present study was conducted to determine the relationship between anthropometric indices and menarche age in 488 girls 11-17 years in southern iran (kish island) in 2011.data was collected using questionnaires as well as measurements of the children's height and...
متن کاملDecreased coronary artery distensibility measured using 3T MRI is related to systemic inflammation in patients with coronary artery disease
Background We previously reported that coronary distensibility can be measured non-invasively using 3T MRI and that distensibility is reduced in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients compared with healthy subjects. Because atherosclerotic vascular disease is an inflammatory process, we sought to test the hypothesis that coronary distensibility measured with MRI is associated with systemic infl...
متن کامل3t Body Mri
The inherent doubling in signal-to-noise ratio when compared to 1.5T provides unique opportunities for body MR imaging at 3T. The augmented SNR can be used to improve anatomic and/or temporal resolution and reduce breath hold time periods while preserving image quality. However, susceptibility, and chemical shift dispersion are also increased at 3.0T (scaling with field strength) and T1 and T2 ...
