Journal ArticleDOI
Neurohumoral Features of Myocardial Stunning Due to Sudden Emotional Stress
Ilan S. Wittstein,David R. Thiemann,Joao A.C. Lima,Kenneth L. Baughman,Steven P. Schulman,Gary Gerstenblith,Katherine C. Wu,Jeffrey J. Rade,Trinity J. Bivalacqua,Hunter C. Champion +9 more
TL;DR: Emotional stress can precipitate severe, reversible left ventricular dysfunction in patients without coronary disease andaggerated sympathetic stimulation is probably central to the cause of this syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic Significance of Microvascular Obstruction by Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction
Katherine C. Wu,Elias A. Zerhouni,Robert M. Judd,Carlos H. Lugo-Olivieri,Lili A. Barouch,Steven P. Schulman,Roger S. Blumenthal,Joao A.C. Lima +7 more
TL;DR: After infarction, MRI-determined microvascular obstruction predicts more frequent cardiovascular complications, and infarct size determined by MRI also relates directly to long-term prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarctions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infarct tissue heterogeneity by magnetic resonance imaging identifies enhanced cardiac arrhythmia susceptibility in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
André Schmidt,Clerio F. Azevedo,Alan Cheng,Sandeep N. Gupta,David A. Bluemke,Thomas K. F. Foo,Gary Gerstenblith,Robert G. Weiss,Eduardo Marbán,Gordon F. Tomaselli,Joao A.C. Lima,Katherine C. Wu +11 more
TL;DR: Tissue heterogeneity is present and quantifiable within human infarcts and supports the hypothesis that anatomic tissue heterogeneity increases susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias in patients with prior myocardial infarction and LV dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
ACCF/ASE/AHA/ASNC/HFSA/HRS/SCAI/SCCM/SCCT/SCMR 2011 Appropriate Use Criteria for Echocardiography
Pamela S. Douglas,Mario J. Garcia,David E. Haines,Wyman W. Lai,Warren J. Manning,Ayan R. Patel,Michael H. Picard,Donna M. Polk,Michael Ragosta,R. Parker Ward,Rory B. Weiner,Steven R.

Stainback,Joseph M. Allen +34 more
TL;DR: The author’s biography is based on a manuscript originally written by Gordon C. Dickinson in 2012 and then edited by David I. Dickinson.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Gadolinium Enhancement by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Heralds an Adverse Prognosis in Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy
Katherine C. Wu,Robert G. Weiss,David R. Thiemann,Kakuya Kitagawa,André Schmidt,Darshan Dalal,Shenghan Lai,David A. Bluemke,Gary Gerstenblith,Eduardo Marbán,Gordon F. Tomaselli,Joao A.C. Lima +11 more
TL;DR: The CMR LGE may represent the end-organ consequences of sustained adrenergic activation and adverse LV remodeling, and its identification may significantly improve risk stratification strategies in this high risk population.
