Delayed enhancement and myocardial velocity mapping CMR reveal differences in regional left ventricular function with varying levels of scar
Background Delayed enhancement (DE) CMR is the gold standard for detecting irreversibly damaged myocardial tissue (scar). Yet, direct impact of scar on regional systolic and diastolic left ventricular (LV) function is not well understood. Standard tools for LV velocities (Tissue Doppler Imaging) are limited by poor reproducibility and incomplete assessment of all regions and motion directions. ...
متن کاملRegional left ventricular myocardial T1 and velocity mapping: elevated extracellular volume fraction is associated with altered myocardial velocities
Background Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) is a common cause of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and may be associated with myocardial fibrosis. Global LV systolic function may underestimate the impact of fibrosis on myocardial function and is insensitive to regional abnormalities in myocardial motion. Advances in cardiac MRI have enabled quantification of myocardial fibrosis through the ca...
متن کاملImproved Left Ventricular Structure and Function After Successful Kidney Transplantation.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Cardiac changes observed in chronic kidney disease patients are of multifactorial origin including chronic uremia, hemodynamics or inflammation. Restoration of renal function by kidney transplantation (KTX) may reverse cardiac changes. Novel echocardiographic methods such as speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) allow early and sensitive detection of subtle changes of cardiac ...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation
Extended abstract Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function and Geometry in Pediatric Patients with Kidney Transplantation Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important, leading cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) as well as in renal transplant recipients. Cardiovascular complications become more important in children because of the i...
متن کاملDipyridamole stress and rest gated 99mTc-sestamibi myocardial perfusion SPECT: left ventricular function indices and myocardial perfusion findings
Introduction: We investigated the difference in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and end-systolic volume(ESV) measured by gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GSPECT) in the post-dipyridamole stress and rest periods, and compared the results with the perfusion patterns found in the conventional non-gated tomograms. Methods: 297 consecutive patients were studie...
