Feature tracking strain is a promising functional analysis technique in single ventricle patients
Methods We retrospectively reviewed 22 patients with a history of Fontan palliation (median age 8.2, range 2 27.5 years) who had cardiac MRIs with a Siemens 1.5 Tesla Avanto (Siemens Medical Systems) scanner, 11 with TA, 11 with HLHS. All had steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequences of 4-chamber (4ch) cine and short axis (SAx) cine stacks from cardiac base to apex. Ejection fraction (EF) w...
متن کاملEvaluation of myocardial strain in patients with myocardial amyloidosis using feature-tracking technique
Background Cardiac amyloidosis results in diffuse involvement of the myocardium. For non-invasive diagnosis of myocardial amyloidosis, delayed post contrast MRI is the current gold standard. However, myocardial involvement can be patchy; not infrequently the delayed enhancement images are technically limited and many patients cannot tolerate contrast due to poor renal function. Hence an alterna...
متن کاملAssessment of strain and mechanical dyssynchrony indices in single ventricle populations by cardiac magnetic resonance feature-tracking techniques
Background Single ventricle (SV) physiology consists of a single pumping chamber that provides both systemic and pulmonary blood flow. The typical quantitative measurements of ventricular function (i.e. ejection fraction) cannot be accurately applied to single ventricles due to abnormal ventricular morphology. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) has become a leading diagnostic tool in the assessme...
متن کاملP-229: Uterine Transplantation, Is It A Promising Technique in Future?
Background: Uterine factor infertility (UFI) refers to the refractory causes of female infertility stemming from the anatomical or physiological inability of a uterus to sustain gestation. Today, uterine factor infertility affects 3-5% of the population. Traditionally, although surrogacy and adoption have been the only viable options for females affected by this condition, the uterine transplan...
متن کاملStrain and strain rate analysis of the right ventricle in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Introduction Assessment of right ventricular (RV) function in patients with hypoplastic heart syndrome (HLHS) is essential, but echocardiographic assessment remains largely subjective and RV volume quantification by CMR is time consuming. Purpose To determine whether software designed for analysis of echocardiograms can be adapted to evaluate strain and strain rate of the RV in CMR images from ...
