Noninvasive cardiovascular imaging as a guide to cardiac resynchronization therapy.
C ardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established therapeutic option with proven efficacy in patients with symptomatic HF. Large, prospective, clinical trials have demonstrated the important role of biventricular pacing in improving symptoms and reducing both hospitalization and mortality in HF patients.1-5 However, a significant proportion of patients (~30%) do not respond to CRT, par...
متن کاملAdvances in Cardiovascular Imaging Noninvasive Assessment of Myocardial Perfusion
Noninvasive assessment of myocardial perfusion is important in the diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Although single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is most commonly used, multiple modalities including myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE), positron emission tomography (PET), cardiac MRI (CMR), and cardiac compu...
متن کاملScimitar syndrome: comprehensive, noninvasive assessment with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.
Scimitar syndrome is a rare vascular anomaly whereby a partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage to the inferior vena cava results in left-to-right shunt. Scimitar syndrome can be associated with congenital cardiovascular defects (dextrocardia, atrial septal defects, and right pulmonary artery hypoplasia), pulmonary anomalies (hypoplasia, sequestration), and tracheobronchial anomalies. Thus, ...
متن کاملAdvances in Cardiovascular Imaging Multimodality Noninvasive Imaging for Assessment of Congenital Heart Disease
Major advances in the field of pediatric cardiology and cardiac surgery over the last several decades have led to a dramatic improvement in survival rates for most forms of congenital heart disease (CHD). For example, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a previously lethal defect, now has early survival rates up to 90% at major centers.1 These improved outcomes have produced a growing population o...
متن کاملNoninvasive Aortic Imaging
Noninvasive imaging of the aorta has undergone consid erable refinement in recent years. This has been brought about by significant technologic advances in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) techniques, and duplex ultrasound (US) scanning. Three-dimensional techniques and shorter acquisition times for CT and MR imaging have made it possible to time the infusion of contrast mediu...
