The challenge in diagnosing cardiac tumors to avoid unnecessary cardiac surgery
Cardiac magnetic resonance in cardiac mass: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) should be considered in the evaluation of patients with cardiac mass. Especially, when the diagnosis is not certain, CMR could provide paramount information that could be ...

Cardiac magnetic resonance findings predict increased resource utilization in elective coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]
Morbidity following CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) is difficult to predict and leads to increased healthcare costs. We hypothesized that pre-operative CMR (cardiac magnetic resonance) findings would predict resource utilization in elective CABG ...

Case report: Acute pericarditis following hepatic microwave ablation for liver metastasis
Hepatic microwave ablation (MWA) is a growing treatment modality in the field of primary and secondary liver cancer. One potential side effect is thermal damage to adjacent structures, including the pericardium if the hepatic lesion is located near the ...

Pulmonary artery stiffness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) and emphysema: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) COPD Study [PDF]
Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and particularly emphysema are characterized by stiffness of the aorta, due in part to accelerated elastin degradation in the lungs and aorta. Stiffness of the pulmonary arteries (PAs) may also be

Alström Syndrome: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance findings [PDF]
Alström Syndrome (ALMS) is an extremely rare multiorgan disease caused by mutations in ALMS1. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common finding but only one series has been investigated by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR).Eight genetically proven ALMS patients (ages 11-41) underwent CMR performed by standard cine steady state, T1, T2 and late gadolinium

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging: artefacts for clinicians [PDF]
In recent years, the clinical importance of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has increased dramatically. As a consequence, more clinicians need to become familiar with this imaging modality, including its technical challenges. MR images are obtained through a physical process of proton excitation and the reception of resonating signals. Besides
