Abstract

CMR tagging for measurement of the long axis function and deformation rate of the systemic right ventricular free wall

Highlights

  • Prophylactic implantation of a cardioverter/ defibrillator (ICD) has been shown to reduce mortality in patients with chronic myocardial infarction (CMI) and an increased risk for life threatening ventricular arrhythmia (VA)

  • We reported non-sustained ventricular tachycardias (NSVT) (n = 1), VF (n = 1) during dobutamine infusion, as well as overt heart failure (n = 2) and unstable angina (n = 1) related to adenosine stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)

  • Mean peak filling rate (PFR) was analyzed across quintiles of end-diastolic volume (EDV) and was found to be higher in females 386.35, [95%CI 382.53 to 390.17] compared to males 359.11 ml/s [95%CI 355.05 to 363.17] (Fig 1)

Summary

Introduction

Prophylactic implantation of a cardioverter/ defibrillator (ICD) has been shown to reduce mortality in patients with chronic myocardial infarction (CMI) and an increased risk for life threatening ventricular arrhythmia (VA). Methods: In 11 patients (age 0.7 – 27 years) with complex congenital heart disease, surgical questions were directed towards palliative or corrective surgery but consensus about the optimum treatment strategy was not reached using standard diagnostic tools including echocardiography, catheterization and conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In these patients, three-dimensional printed cast and virtual computer models of the heart were made on the basis of high-resolution whole-heart and/or cineMRI.
