Detecting left ventricular myocardial ischemia during intravenous dobutamine with cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Advances in computer software, scanner hardware, and hemodynamic monitoring equipment have permitted the development of cardiovascular stress testing protocols for use during intravenous Dobutamine infusions within magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners. Recent studies have documented that the safety profile and clinical utility of Dobutamine/Atropine cardiac stress testing during MRI compares favorably with other noninvasive stress imaging modalities and is particularly useful in patients not well suited for stress echocardiograms.

Is imaging at intermediate doses necessary during dobutamine stress magnetic resonance imaging?
To determine if visualization of left ventricular contraction throughout the course of a pharmacologic stress test performed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (rather than solely at baseline and peak stress) is necessary, we retrospectively reviewed dobutamine MRI results in 469 consecutively referred patients for diagnosis of inducible ischemia. At each stage of pharmacologic stress, six i...
متن کاملUtility of fast cine magnetic resonance imaging and display for the detection of myocardial ischemia in patients not well suited for second harmonic stress echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Some patients referred for pharmacological stress testing with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) are unable to undergo testing owing to poor acoustic windows. Fast cine MRI can be used to assess left ventricular contraction, but its utility for detection of myocardial ischemia in patients poorly suited for echocardiography is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred fifty-three ...

PURPOSE Previous studies demonstrated that low-dose dobutamine stress cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and delayed contrast-enhanced MRI can provide assessments of myocardial viability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the comparative diagnostic values of dobutamine cine MRI and delayed contrast-enhanced MRI for predicting functional recovery of myocardial contraction in patients ...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging determination of cardiac prognosis.
BACKGROUND Regional assessments of left ventricular (LV) wall motion obtained during MRI cardiac stress tests can be used to identify myocardial injury and ischemia, but the utility of MRI stress test results for the assessment of cardiac prognosis is not known. METHODS AND RESULTS Two hundred seventy-nine patients referred (because of poor LV endocardial visualization with echocardiography) ...
متن کاملLeft atrial passive emptying function during dobutamine stress MR imaging is a predictor of cardiac events in patients with suspected myocardial ischemia.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of assessing left atrial function during dobutamine stress testing. BACKGROUND Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction precedes systolic wall motion abnormalities in the ischemic cascade. Severity of left ventricular diastolic function during cardiac stress is not characterized well by current clinical imaging protocols but...
