Abstract
Objectives and background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to delineate the extent of acute myocardial infarction in coronary artery disease, but its role after ethanol induced septal infarction has not been largely assessed. We report the evaluation of septal infarction induced by alcohol septal ablation (ASA) in patients with symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy using contrast enhanced MRI.
Highlights
We report the evaluation of septal infarction induced by alcohol septal ablation (ASA) in patients with symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy using contrast enhanced Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Total left ventricular (LV) mass decreased from 277.2 ± 84.9 g to 234.7 ± 82.6 g (p = 0.008) and ejection fraction (EF) from 70.3 ± 09.9 to 64.9 ± 8.7% (p = 0.001)
Contrast enhanced MRI allows detailed evaluation of size and location of septal myocardial infarction induced by ASA
