  • Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in systemic hypertension
    Systemic hypertension is a highly prevalent potentially modifiable cardiovascular risk factor.Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of underlying causes for hypertension, inassessing cardiovascular complications of hypertension, and in understanding thepathophysiology of the disease process. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)...

  • T1 mapping of the myocardium: Intra-individual assessment of the effect of field strength, cardiac cycle and variation by myocardial region
    Purpose: Myocardial T1 relaxation time (T1 time) and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) are altered in the presence of myocardial fibrosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate acquisition factors that may result in variation of measured T1 time and...

  • T1 mapping of the myocardium: intra-individual assessment of post-contrast T1 time evolution and extracellular volume fraction at 3T for Gd-DTPA and Gd-BOPTA
    Background: Myocardial T1 relaxation time (T1 time) and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) are altered in patients with diffuse myocardial fibrosis. The purpose of this study was to perform an intra-individual assessment of normal T1 time and ECV for two different...

  • Systemic-to-pulmonary collateral flow in patients with palliated univentricular heart physiology: measurement using cardiovascular magnetic resonance 4D velocity acquisition
    Background: Systemic-to-pulmonary collateral flow (SPCF) may constitute a risk factor for increasedmorbidity and mortality in patients with single-ventricle physiology (SV). However, clinicalresearch is limited by the complexity of multi-vessel two-dimensional (2D) cardiovascularmagnetic resonance (CMR) flow measurements. We sought to validate...

    Systemic to pulmonary collateral flow measurement
    A very nice example of effective use of flow imaging in measuring collateral flow.

    Systemic-to-pulmonary collateral flow, as measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, is associated with acute post-Fontan clinical outcomes.

    First MR conditional CRT + ICD announced
    Yesterday the first MR-conditional ICD, CRT-D and CRT-P was announced. It appears that there is no turning back and we will see in the next years a whole set of patients capable of undergoing MR studies with these and probably...
