Acute myocardial injury is a common diagnosis in the emergency department and differential diagnoses are numerous. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) strain sequences, such as fast strain ENCoded (fSENC), are early predictors of myocardial function loss. This study assessed the potential diagnostic and prognostic benefits of a layer-specific approach.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is an important tool for evaluating the severity of aortic stenosis (AS), co-existing aortic disease, and concurrent myocardial abnormalities. Acquiring this additional information requires protocol adaptations and additional scanner time, but is not necessary for the majority of patients who do not have AS. We observed that the relative signal intensity of blood in the ascending aorta on a balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) 3-chamber cine was often reduced in those with significant aortic stenosis.

Mashup Score: 19Association of dysglycaemia with persistent infarct core iron in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction - 2 month(s) ago
Dysglycaemia increases the risk of myocardial infarction and subsequent recurrent cardiovascular events. However, the role of dysglycaemia in ischemia/reperfusion injury with development of irreversible myocardial tissue alterations remains poorly understood.In this study we aimed to investigate the association of ongoing dysglycaemia with persistence of infarct core iron and their longitudinal changes over time in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Mashup Score: 1Patterns of cortical oxygenation may predict the response to stenting in subjects with renal artery stenosis: A radiomics-based model - 2 month(s) ago
Percutaneous-transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) and stenting aim to halt the progression of kidney disease in patients with renal artery stenosis (RAS), but its outcome is often suboptimal. We hypothesized that a model incorporating markers of renal function and oxygenation extracted using radiomics analysis of blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD)-MRI images may predict renal response to PTRA in swine RAS.

Background Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) generates electrophysiological (EP) biomarkers while cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging provides data about myocardial structure, function and tissue substrate. Combining this information in one examination is desirable but requires an affordable, reusable, and high-throughput solution. We therefore developed the CMR-ECGI vest and carried out this technical development study to assess its feasibility and repeatability in vivo. Methods CMR was prospectively performed at 3T on participants after collecting surface potentials using the locally designed and fabricated 256-lead ECGI vest. Epicardial maps were reconstructed to generate local EP parameters such as activation time (AT), repolarization time (RT) and activation recovery intervals (ARI). 20 intra- and inter-observer and 8 scan re-scan repeatability tests. Results 77 participants were recruited: 27 young healthy volunteers (HV, 38.9βΒ±β8.5 years, 35% male) and 50 older per

Background The 2019 arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) risk model has proved insufficient in the capability of predicting ventricular arrhythmia (VA) risk in non-classical arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). Furthermore, the prognostic value of ringlike late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) of the left ventricle in non-classical ACM remains unknown. We aimed to assess the incremental value of ringlike LGE over the 2019 ARVC risk model in predicting sustained VA in patients with non-classical ACM. Methods In this retrospective study, consecutive patients with non-classical ACM who underwent CMR from January 2011 to January 2022 were included. The pattern of LGE was categorized as no, non-ringlike, and ringlike LGE. The primary outcome was defined as the occurrence of sustained VA. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the impact of LGE patterns on sustained VA and area under curve (AUC) was calculated for the incremental value of rin

Background Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) assessment is fundamental for managing dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients. Although cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become the gold-standard imaging technique for evaluating cardiac chamber volume and function, PCWP is not routinely assessed with CMR. Therefore, this study aimed to validate the left atrial expansion index (LAEI), a LA reservoir function parameter able to estimate filling pressure with echocardiography, as a novel CMR-measured parameter for non-invasive PCWP estimation in DCM patients. Methods We performed a retrospective, single-center, cross-sectional study. We included electively admitted DCM patients referred to our tertiary center for further diagnostic evaluation that underwent a clinically indicated right heart catheterization (RHC) and CMR within 24 h. PCWP invasively measured during RHC was used as the reference. LAEI was calculated from CMR-measured LA maximal and minimal volumes as LAEIβ=β (

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the early morphology and function of the left heart in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) after transapical beating-heart septal myectomy (TA-BSM) using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Materials and methods Between April 2022 and January 2023, HOCM patients who underwent CMR before and 3 months after TA-BSM were prospectively and consecutively enrolled in the study. Preoperative and postoperative cardiac morphological and functional parameters, including those for the left atrium (LA) and left ventricle (LV), were compared. The left ventricular remodeling index (LVRI) was defined as the ratio between left ventricular mass (LVM) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV). Healthy participants with a similar age and sex distribution were enrolled for comparison. Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationships between the parameters and LVRI. Last, univariate and multivariate linear regress
