Distribution of coronary artery calcium in a large European all-comer population referred for cardiac imaging [PDF]

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature
Background and aims: The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is a well-established surrogate marker of atherosclerotic plaque burden and is highly valuable for risk stratification.

Mid-wall striae fibrosis predicts heart failure admission, composite heart failure events, and life-threatening arrhythmias in dilated cardiomyopathy

Scientific Reports, 2022
Heart failure (HF) admission is a dominant contributor to morbidity and healthcare costs in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Mid-wall striae (MWS) fibrosis by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging has been associated with elevated arrhythmia risk ...

Cardiac hybrid imaging [PDF]

European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2011
Cardiac hybrid imaging combines different imaging modalities in a way where both modalities equally contribute to image information. The most common and best-studied approach is to combine computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) and myocardial perfusion imaging either with single-photon emission computed tomography or with positron emission ...

Right ventricular insertion site fibrosis in a dilated cardiomyopathy referral population: phenotypic associations and value for the prediction of heart failure admission or death

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2021
Background Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is increasingly recognized as a heterogenous disease with distinct phenotypes on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.

Left Ventricle Wall Motion Analysis with Real-Time MRI Feature Tracking in Heart Failure Patients: A Pilot Study

Diagnostics, 2022
Volumetric measurements with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are effective for evaluating heart failure (HF) with systolic dysfunction that typically induces a lower ejection fraction (EF) than normal (

Temporospatial characterization of ventricular wall motion with real-time cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in health and disease

Scientific Reports, 2022
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been largely dependent on retrospective cine for data acquisition. Real-time imaging, although inferior in image quality to retrospective cine, is more informative about motion dynamics.

Splenic switch-off as a predictor for coronary adenosine response: validation against 13N-ammonia during co-injection myocardial perfusion imaging on a hybrid PET/CMR scanner

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2021
Background Inadequate coronary adenosine response is a potential cause for false negative ischemia testing. Recently, the splenic switch-off (SSO) sign has been identified as a promising tool to ascertain the efficacy of adenosine during vasodilator ...

Imaging cardiac fat [PDF]

European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging, 2013
Ectopic fat deposition has been associated with lipotoxicity and derangement in local and systemic metabolism, insulin resistance, cardiac dysfunction, atherosclerosis, local, and systemic inflammation. The mechanisms and potentially detrimental effects of such an accumulation should be fully investigated in order to establish preventive strategies ...

Cardiac hybrid imaging [PDF]

European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2014
Hybrid cardiac single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT imaging allows combined assessment of anatomical and functional aspects of cardiac disease. In coronary artery disease (CAD), hybrid SPECT/CT imaging allows detection of coronary artery stenosis and myocardial perfusion abnormalities.
