Background There are limited data on the incremental value of parametric mapping compared with core cardiac MRI protocols for suspected cardiomyopathy in routine clinical practice. Purpose To evaluate impact T1 and T2 practice respect to diagnostic accuracy, reader confidence, downstream imaging utilization. Materials Methods In this retrospective single-center study, consecutive scans obtained without evaluation between January 2017 October 2019 were evaluated. Diagnostic accuracy...
Purpose: Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a rare and aggressive heritable aortic disease caused by pathogenic variants in COL3A1 gene, characterized spontaneous arterial dissection organ rupture. The purpose of this study to evaluate ventricular size function explore their associations with complications vEDS. Methods: Adults genetically confirmed vEDS who underwent clinical cardiac MRI were retrospectively compared controls matched for age sex. Cardiac analysis included assessment...
