Cardiac MRI in Ischemic Heart Disease

Abstract: he first ECG-gated magnetic resonance (MR) images of the heart were acquired more than 25 years ago, and MR imaging (MRI) was initially used to evaluate the morphology and motion of the heart. With developments of late gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) MRI and myocardial perfusion MRI, the application of MRI in ischemic heart disease (IHD) has been considerably expanded in the past 10 years. Because MRI has high spatial resolution and excellent image contrast, subendocardial infarction and myocardial ischemia can be c… Show more

“…The LGE phenomenon likely reflects irreversible myocardial injury caused by the substitution of viable heart tissue by either necrosis or fibrosis. 26, 27 The patients with a higher number of segments affected by LGE also more often demonstrated a decreased LVEF (≤50%), positive ECG stress test and ventricular arrhythmias on Holter monitoring as compared with the rest of the CSS group; findings already observed in other cardiomyopathies. 28-30 These results also indicate that LGE changes (and their location ie, infra) detected in CSS patients in remission carry important clinical consequences.…”

“…5 Additionally, it is known that an imaging approach combining the LGE-mode and T2-weighted CMR can differentiate acute from chronic myocardial infarction, because T2-weighted CMR depicts infarct-related myocardial edema. 5 In conclusion, the combination of cardiac MDCT and CMR imaging is valuable for diagnosing pseudo-false aneurysm complicating acute myocardial infarction.…”

“…12 The whole-heart, 3-dimensional (D), steady-state free precession (SSFP) technique, different from earlier methods of MRCA, is currently widely used, and has been well-validated for assessing patients with CAD. 13 The technique provides superior signal-to-noise and contrast-to-noise ratios, decreases dependence on the inflow of unsaturated protons, and facilitates multiplanar reconstructions. However, the feasibility of this whole-heart technique for detecting CAV has not been reported.…”
