“…This characterization is enhanced by any 3D volume rendering imaging technique. MRI 13 and computed tomography have been lately used to assess the relationship between the CS and the MA 9,11,12,24,25 and to evaluate the cardiac veins 19 -23 (with 2 small series showing good correlation with balloon occlusion angiography 19,23 ). Nevertheless, previous studies have methodological limitations: CS dimensions and distance to MA were only measured in 1 cardiac phase and in 2 or 3 axial or oblique reconstructions [11][12][13] , a simplistic approach that limits information regarding their complex anatomic 3D relationship and does not allow for the assessment of dynamic changes.…”

Background-Implantation of devices into the coronary sinus (CS)/great cardiac vein (GCV) to reshape the mitral annulus (MA) is being investigated, despite these structures not being within the same plane and coronary arteries frequently traversing between them. Furthermore, dynamic changes in their relationship have never been studied. We analyzed the CS/GCV dimensions and its relationship with the MA and the coronary arteries. Methods and Results-Of 390 consecutive computed tomography angiographies reviewed, 56 met the inclusion criteria.Mean age of the patients was 68.9Ϯ13.1 years (26.8% men). The dimensions of the CS/GCV and the distance between this structure and the MA were measured at 10 different spatial points along the CS/GCV trajectory and at 3 different time points along the cardiac cycle (phases 0%, 40%, and 75% of the RR interval) by using curved multiplanar reconstruction technique. The CS/GCV was larger in phase 40% than in phase 75% and was smallest in phase 0% (PϽ0.001). The distance between the CS/GCV and the MA was longest in phase 40% and shortest in phase 0% (Pϭ0.013). The diameter of the MA was measured in oblique 2-and 4-chamber reconstructions, being largest in phase 0% and smallest in phase 40% (Pϭ0.019). A coronary artery traversed between the CS/GCV and the MA in 85.7% of the patients. Conclusions-This study demonstrated dynamic changes in the relationship between the CS/GCV and the MA and also that coronary arteries frequently traverse between both structures. Whether these findings are of clinical relevance for patients undergoing percutaneous mitral annuloplasty needs to be prospectively evaluated. (Circ Cardiovasc Interv. 2009;2:557-564.)

Cardiac CT Angiography in Congestive Heart Failure

Cardiac CT angiography has become an important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of congestive heart failure. Differentiation of ischemic from nonischemic cardiomyopathy; evaluation of myocardial perfusion; characterization of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, left ventricular noncompaction, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia; and delineation of congenital heart defects and valvular abnormalities are the primary diagnostic applications. Therapeutic use includes visualization of the coronary venous anatomy for optimal implementation of cardiac resynchronization therapy and evaluation of left ventricular assist devices and transplant vasculopathy.
