In-vivo assessment of the diagnostic performance of DENSE in patients with myocardial infarction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background In patients with myocardial infarction (MI), an important factor in determining the long-term prognosis is the degree of regional contractile dysfunction. DENSE (Displacement ENcoding with Stimulated Echoes) is a technique which allows quantification of myocardial strain[1], and which has been shown to be more sensitive to the presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) than wall thickening measured from cine images[2]. The aim of this study was to further investigate the performance of DENSE for the diagnosis and assessment of myocardial infarction.
