Abstract:

The aim of this article is to discuss the present and future potential of deformation imaging by echocardiography and scar visualisation by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The two methods are clearly different: one is concerned with function, the other with morphology. Echocardiography, with its versatility of methods and high applicability, will continue to be the workhorse in cardiac imaging of patients with CAD. Important additional information can be extracted from deformation imaging methods, especially due to the high temporal resolution i

Abstract:

Right ventricular (RV) size and function are important predictors of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with various conditions. However, non-invasive assessment of the RV is a challenging task due to its complex anatomy and location in the chest. Although conventional echocardiography is widely used, its limitations in RV assessment are well recognised. New techniques such as three-dimensional and speckle tracking echocardiography have overcome the limitations of conventional echocardiography allowing a comprehensive, quantitative assessment of RV geometry and function without

Abstract:

Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is the least common among cardiomyopathies. It can be idiopathic, familial, or secondary to systematic disorders. Marked increase in left and/or right ventricular filling pressures causes symptoms and signs of congestive heart failure. Electrocardiographic findings are nonspecific and include atrioventricular conduction and QRS complex abnormalities and supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. Echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) play a major role in diagnosis. Echocardiography reveals normal or hypertrophied ventricles, preserved systolic

Background Left atrial (LA) strain is associated with symptomatic status and atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, hemodynamic determinants of LA reservoir (LARS), conduit, and pump strains have not been examined and data are needed on the relation of LA strain with exercise tolerance in HCM. Methods Fifty HCM patients with echocardiographic and CMR imaging within 30 days were included. Left ventricular (LV) volumes, mass, EF, scar extent, extracellular volume fraction (ECV), and LA maximum volume were measured by CMR. Echo studies were analyzed for m

Abstract Introduction Myocardial scar or fibrosis has significant implications in patient management and prognosis. Currently, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the reference technique for detection and quantification of scar though other imaging modalities have been proven to be useful as well. Purpose This study aims to investigate the usefulness of 3D strain echocardiography to identify myocardial scar in patients with ischaemic and non-ischaemic myocardial fibrosis using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) CMR as a reference.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements The study was supported by Center for Cardiological Innovation Background Many patients referred for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) do not respond to the treatment. Scar either in septum or the left ventricular (LV) lateral wall, as well as global scar burden, influence the outcome negatively. Preoperative scar assessment is therefore recommended in this patient group.

Background: Myocardial infarction scar size (ISS) is an important predictor of mortality, but accurate quantitative echocardiographic methods to determine ISS are lacking. We developed a new functional imaging method based on geometric analysis of 3D meshgrid-representations of the left ventricle (LV) derived from ultrasound 3D speckle tracking. The study was performed to validate our method for the quantitative assessment of ISS.

Abstract Purpose of Review It was previously believed that the presence of myocardial viability in patients with significant coronary artery disease improved outcomes following revascularisation, but the landmark STITCH trial found no significant correlation between viability and overall survival. However, the study used single photon emission contrast tomography or dobutamine stress echocardiography for viability assessment, but late gadolinium enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-CMR) has since become the gold standard for viability assessment.

Abstract Background Myocardial scar presence and extent, has a considerable influence on response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). Apical rocking (ApRock) and septal flash (SF) are associated with favourable outcome after CRT. Little is known however to which extent visual assessment of mechanical dyssynchrony by ApRock, SF and scar predicts CRT response. We therefore investigated, if additional scar assessment by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) adds to the predictive value of the visual evaluation of echocardiographic images in CRT candidates.

METHODS: Of a total of 6 swine, 5 underwent coronary occlusion and 1 underwent radiofrequency ablation to create infarct scar and iatrogenic scar models, respectively.

Background: Cardiac catheterization along with cardiac biopsy studies have shown the presence of abnormally increased left ventricular (LV) chamber stiffness in patients with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) and its significant correlation with interstitial fibrosis.
