Diffuse myocardial fibrosis in pediatric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Fibrosis is a common end-point in pathological processes. It is unclear, however, if diffuse fibrosis occurs early in the pathogenesis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence of diffuse myocardial fibrosis in children and adolescents with HCM using quantification of T1 changes late after gadolinium administration and to assess for associations between markers of fibrosis and standard clinical parameters of disease.

Myocardial fibrosis delineation in late gadolinium enhancement images of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy patients using deep learning methods
Introduction: Accurate delineation of myocardial fibrosis in Late Gadolinium Enhancement on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (LGE-CMR) has a crucial role in the assessment and risk stratification of HCM patients. As this is time-consuming and requires expertise, automation can be essential in accelerating this process. This study aims to use Unet-based deep learning methods to automate the mentioned ...
متن کاملMyocardial T1 mapping as a diagnostic tool in pediatric patients with a concern for cardiac disease
Background Myocardial tissue characterization with both native T1 mapping and T1 mapping following gadolinium based contrast agents (T1 enhanced) has emerged as an important asset of CMR imaging [1]. However, there is only minimal experience in pediatrics [2]. Native T1 has shown to be a marker of myocardial edema, and may play a role in pathologic states such as myocarditis [3]. T1 enhanced ma...

A 40 year old male, a known case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, was admitted for catheterization. At catheterization and angiography, septum was hypertrophied to about 5cm and diffuse coronary artery aneurysm was revealed. We found no previous report of coronary artery aneurysm in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
متن کاملDiffuse Myocardial Fibrosis detected by Multi-slice T1 Mapping using Slice Interleaved T1 (STONE) Sequence in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Background The presence of myocardial fibrosis is associated with worse clinical outcome in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. Due to the substantial variations in left ventricular (LV) wall thickness and fibrosis in HCM, volumetric coverage of entire LV myocardium is essential for the accurate assessment of myocardial fibrosis. Slice-interleaved T1 (STONE) mapping sequence allows for ...
متن کاملT1 mapping in discrimination between hypertrophic and hypertensive cardiomyopathy
Background The differential diagnosis of hypertrophic phenotype remains challenging in clinical practice, in particular between hypertrophy cardiomyopathy (HCM) and increased left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) due to systemic hypertension. Diffuse myocardial fibrosis is the characteristic feature in HCM, whereas hypertensive response is underpinned by addition of myofibrils in otherwise nor...
