Delayed Gadolinium-Enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Patients With Chronic Myocarditis Presenting With Heart Failure or Recurrent Arrhythmias

TLDR
It is suggested that CE-CMR may be a useful non-invasive diagnostic tool in patients with CM, and it may indicate and even guide the execution of left ventricular EMB with relevant prognostic and therapeutic implications.

Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Nonischemic Myocardial Inflammation: Expert Recommendations.

TL;DR: This JACC Scientific Expert Panel provides consensus recommendations for an update of the cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) diagnostic criteria for myocardial inflammation in patients with suspected acute or active myocardian inflammation (Lake Louise Criteria) that include options to use parametric mapping techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection and quantification of left atrial structural remodeling with delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging in patients with atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: The utility of delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) in detecting abnormal atrial tissue before radiofrequency ablation and in predicting procedural outcome is reported and may provide insight into the progress of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Left-dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy: an under-recognized clinical entity.

TL;DR: The left-dominant subtype is under-recognized owing to misattribution to other disorders and lack of specific diagnostic criteria, but is distinguished from DCM by a propensity towards arrhythmia exceeding the degree of ventricular dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Term Follow-Up of Biopsy-Proven Viral Myocarditis: Predictors of Mortality and Incomplete Recovery

TL;DR: Among the authors' population with a wide range of clinical symptoms, biopsy-proven viral myocarditis is associated with a long-term mortality of up to 19.2% in 4.7 years, and the presence of LGE is the best independent predictor of all-cause mortality and of cardiac mortality.

Differentiation of Heart Failure Related to Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Coronary Artery Disease Using Gadolinium-Enhanced Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

TL;DR: Gadolinium CMR is a powerful technique to distinguish DCM from LV dysfunction related to CAD and yields new insights in DCM, and may become a useful alternative to routine coronary angiography in the diagnostic workup of DCM.

Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Assessment of Human Myocarditis: A Comparison to Histology and Molecular Pathology

TL;DR: Contrast enhancement is a frequent finding in the clinical setting of suspected myocarditis and is associated with active inflammation defined by histopathology and is a valuable tool for the evaluation and monitoring of inflammatory heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic performance of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in patients with suspected acute myocarditis: comparison of different approaches

TL;DR: A combined CMR approach using T2-weighted imaging, early and late gadolinium enhancement, provides a high diagnostic accuracy and is a useful tool in the diagnosis and assessment of patients with suspected acute myocarditis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The histologic basis of late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: In this patient with HCM and heart failure, regions of myocardial late gadolinium enhancement by CMR represented regions of increased myocardia collagen but not disarray.
