Patterns of myocardial fibrosis by CMR in patients with conduction abnormalities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Ventricular conduction delay is thought to occur from a variety of differing mechanism including ischemia or infarction, left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and/or dilation, and fibrotic degenerative disease of the conduction system. CMR is an ideal modality to evaluate for these mechanisms as cine-CMR is the “gold-standard” for assessment of cardiac morphology and function, and delayed enhancement (DE)-CMR has emerged as a robust modality for assessment of LV replacement fibrosis.

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 کاملLate gadolinium enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance of lamin A/C gene mutation related dilated cardiomyopathy
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to identify early features of lamin A/C gene mutation related dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). We characterise myocardial and functional findings in carriers of lamin A/C mutation to facilitate the recognition of these patients using this method. We also investigated the connection between myocardial fibrosis and...

BACKGROUND Cocaine addiction is associated with either ischaemic or non-ischaemic cardiac complications. The prevalence of myocardial damage in asymptomatic addicts has never been evaluated by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), which allows non-invasive detection of myocardial oedema and fibrosis. OBJECTIVE To prospectively evaluate the prevalence of myocardial damage in cocaine addicts...

BACKGROUND Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy is a genetically heterogeneous form of muscular dystrophy. One form is inherited in an X-linked fashion and is secondary to mutations in the gene encoding the nuclear protein emerin. A more common variant is inherited in an autosomal dominant way (EDMD2) due to mutations affecting the nuclear lamina protein lamin A/C. Typical features of both conditi...

AIM To measure the prevalence of abnormal rest perfusion in a population of consecutive patients with known hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) referred for cardiovascular MRI (CMR), and to assess any associations between abnormal rest perfusion and the presence, pattern, and severity of myocardial scar and the presence of risk factors for sudden death. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty consecutive ...
