Images in cardiovascular medicine. No delayed enhancement on contrast magnetic resonance imaging with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
An 88-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of severe chest pain. The ECG in leads II, III, aVF, and V1 through V5 showed ST elevation (Figure 1). The creatinine kinase and creatinine kinase MB were 324 and 18 IU/L, respectively. Emergency coronary angiography revealed 75% stenosis of the high lateral branch, but left ventriculography confirmed the presence of severe apical balloo...
متن کاملDelayed contrast enhancement and perfusable tissue index in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: comparison between cardiac MRI and PET.
UNLABELLED Delayed contrast enhancement (DCE) visualized by cardiac MRI (CMR) is a common feature in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), presumed to be related to myocardial fibrosis. The pathophysiologic basis of hyperenhancement in this patient group, however, remains unclear as limited histologic comparisons are available. The present study compares the perfusable tissue index (...
متن کاملDelayed phases of contrast MRI, can it be valuable in multiple sclerosis active phase diagnosis?
Background: Observing the enhancing plaques in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most valuable diagnostic modalities in confirming the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), its recurrence and for better detection of active disease. Since active lesions discovery can improve designating diffusion in time diagnosis of MS and controlling disease activity, and there is not any definite...
متن کاملDelayed hyperenhancement in a case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) consists of an acute onset of transient akinesia of various parts of the left ventricle (apex and mid in classical TTC, mid and base in the variant form), without significant coronary artery stenosis, often accompanied by chest pain, dynamic reversible ST-T segment abnormalities and elevation of cardiac enzymes disproportionate to the extent of akinesia. Contrast-...
متن کاملDelayed contrast enhancement on cardiac MRI unmasks subclinical cardiomyopathy in a case of myotonic dystrophy type 2.
Current evidence suggests cardiac involvement and electrocardiographic changes of increasing frequency with age in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2). Myocyte hypertrophy with concurrent fibrosis seems to be the anatomical correlate. Moreover, morphological and functional changes indicative of subclinical cardiomyopathy have been demonstrated by means of cardiac magnetic resonance im...
