Abstract
School of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Figure 1 Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Parameters in 3 Groups of HTX Patients according to the Presence and Pattern of LGE. Box plots of Ejection Fraction, LV EDV/BSA and LV ESV/BSA in LGE + Atypical Pattern, LGE + Typical Pattern and LGE Patients. LV= left ventricle; EDV= end-diastolic volume; ESV= end-systolic volume; BSA= body surface area; LGE+= presence of LGE; LGE= absence of LGE. Braggion Santos et al. Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 2013, 15(Suppl 1):P260 http://www.jcmr-online.com/content/15/S1/P260
Highlights
The presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is related to cardiac remodeling and poorer prognosis in ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies
We sought to describe the influence of the presence and patterns of both LGE forms on left ventricular (LV) remodeling after HTX
153 HTX patients were divided into 3 groups depending on the presence and pattern of LGE. 146 patients received coronary angiography within 4 weeks after CMR for assessment of coronary artery vasculopathy (CAV)
Summary
The presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is related to cardiac remodeling and poorer prognosis in ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. Non-invasive LGE- cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGECMR) is able to detect infarct-typical and -atypical patterns of LGE after heart transplantation (HTX), mainly due to post HTX coronary artery vasculopathy (CAV). We sought to describe the influence of the presence and patterns of both LGE forms on left ventricular (LV) remodeling after HTX
