Prognostic significance of regional edema and quantitative assessment of late gadolinium enhancement in patients with acute myocarditis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Standard diagnostic CMR criteria for acute myocarditis have been proposed (ie Lake Louise criteria) based upon the any 2 of 3 approach which includes the presence of myocardial edema (T2), hyperemia/capillary leakage (early Gd enhancement: EGE) as well as fibrosis (late enhancement: LGE). However, there is a lack of prognostic data using these criteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic CMR criteria for the prediction of functional outcome in patients with myocarditis.

A lthough the clinical spectrum of acute myocarditis varies from cardiogenic shock to asymptomatic electrocardiographic abnormalities during community viral outbreaks, its 3 most common clinical presentations are chest pain mimicking acute myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmias, and heart failure due to new-onset dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) (1,2). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imagi...

Background Cardiac MRI (CMR) is an excellent modality for myocardial tissue characterization, allowing demonstration and quantification of myocardial damage using late Gadolinium enhancement (LGE) sequence. C Reactive Protein (CRP) has been shown to be a prognostic marker in lymphocytic myocarditis. The purpose of this study was to study the correlation between CRP levels and the extent of myoc...

Those patients who go to hospital with prolonged chest pain, elevation of cardiac enzymes and alterations in the electrocardiogram (ECG) are admitted with the initial diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). About 7% and 10% of these patients do not show significant coronary lesions and in many occasions establishing an accurate diagnosis is difficult (1). Sometimes, it is an acute myocardia...
