Unrecognized myocardial infarction by echocardiography in relation to infarct characteristics as assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Accurate recognition of myocardial infarction (MI) is important, because of the benefits of immediate and correct treatment. Despite being the method of choice, echocardiographic assessment of segmental wall motion abnormalities (SWMA) in MI can be difficult and depends on operator skills, experience, and image quality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the echocardiographic detection of SWMA by experienced echocardiographers in relation to underlying infarct characteristics as assessed with delayed-enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (DE-CMR).

BACKGROUND Although echocardiography is used as a first line imaging modality, its accuracy to detect acute and chronic myocardial infarction (MI) in relation to infarct characteristics as assessed with late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) is not well described. METHODS One-hundred-forty-one echocardiograms performed in 88 first acute ST-elevation MI (STEMI)...

Microvascular obstruction (MO) or no-reflow phenomenon is an established complication of coronary reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction. It is increasingly recognized as a poor prognostic indicator and marker of subsequent adverse LV remodeling. Although MO can be assessed using various imaging modalities including electrocardiography, myocardial contrast echocardiography, nuclear...

متن کاملComparison of different electrocardiographic criteria for the detection of previous myocardial infarction in relation to infarct characteristics as assessed with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
Background The electrocardiogram (ECG) is often used as initial test to detect or rule out previous myocardial infarction (MI). Although different ECG-criteria with considerable heterogeneity are used for this purpose, their accuracy is not well described. We aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of four commonly used ECG-criteria for detecting previous MI: 1) the universal definition of p...
