Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) has emerged as a non-invasive diagnostic method for patients with suspected coronary artery disease, but its usefulness in complex disease remains to be investigated. The present study sought determine the agreement between separate heart teams on treatment decision-making based either CTA or conventional angiography. Separate composed of an interventional cardiologist, cardiac surgeon, and radiologist were randomized assess de novo left main...
Background: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a frequent disease that can be complicated by mitral regurgitation (MR), heart failure, arterial embolism, rhythm disorders, and death. Left ventricular (LV) replacement myocardial fibrosis, marker of maladaptive remodeling, has been described in patients with MVP, but the implications this finding remain scarcely explored. We aimed at assessing prevalence, pathophysiological prognostic significance LV fibrosis through late gadolinium enhancement...
Background: Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil have been associated with beneficial cardiovascular effects, but their role in modifying cardiac structures and tissue characteristics patients who had an acute myocardial infarction while receiving current guideline-based therapy remains unknown. Methods: In a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, participants presenting were randomly assigned 1:1 to 6 months of high-dose omega-3 (n=180) or placebo (n=178). Cardiac magnetic...
Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) is considered the gold-standard measurement of arterial stiffness. Obesity, however, can render inaccurate PWV by external noninvasive devices. Phase-contrast MRI allows determination aortic in multiple locations with intra-arterial distance measurements, as well assessment mechanical properties. The purpose this study was to assess reliability carotid-femoral values measured well-validated devices comparison acquisitions and properties a population...
Data are sparse regarding the effects of prolonged prone positioning (PP) during VV-ECMO. Previous studies, using short sessions (<12 h), failed to find any on respiratory system compliance. In present analysis, PP (24 h) were retrospectively studied with regard safety data, oxygenation and compliance.Retrospective review 17 consecutive patients who required both VV-ECMO positioning. under was considered when patient presented at least one unsuccessful ECMO weaning attempt after day 7 or...
Untreated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) co-existing with sleep apnea (OSA), also known as overlap syndrome, has higher cardiovascular mortality than COPD alone but its underlying mechanism remains unclear. We hypothesize that the presence of syndrome is associated more extensive right ventricular (RV) remodeling compared to patients alone. Adult (GOLD stage 2 or higher) at least 10 pack-years smoking history were included. Overnight laboratory-based polysomnography was...
Incidence and prevalence of abdominal obesity (AO) are growing exponentially. Subjects with AO at higher risk developing heart failure. The purpose the study was to investigate early changes in cardiac arterial structure function extracellular matrix biomarkers normotensive healthy subjects AO. age- sex-matched controls underwent echocardiography, MRI (cardiac remodeling index), carotid intima–media thickness, pulse wave velocity, blood fibrosis measurements. We enrolled 87 53 controls....
Imaging of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) by positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) hybrid systems allows detecting arterial FDG foci, which relate to inflammatory and presumably unstable atherosclerosis, is increasingly used in cancer patients among whom many are at risk for ischemic events. However, the link between an enhanced uptake subsequent events remains be clearly established. This pilot study aimed determining whether prior presenting a stroke was higher than that...
Abstract This article describes a general framework for multiple coil MRI reconstruction in the presence of elastic physiological motion. On assumption that motion is known or can be predicted, it shown problem equivalent to solving an integral equation—known literature as Fredholm equation first kind—with generalized kernel comprising Fourier and sensitivity encoding, modified by information. Numerical solutions are found using iterative linear system solver. The different steps numerical...
The rates of growth medically treated abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are difficult to determine, and relationships with parietal inflammation metabolic parameters from <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET remain unclear. This sequential observational study was aimed at analyzing the changes accompanying phases AAA. <b>Methods:</b> Thirty-nine patients (37 men; age [mean ± SD], 71 12 y) exhibiting small AAA (maximal diameter, 46 3 mm) underwent CT angiography baseline 9 mo later. Clinical imaging...
Background: In patients undergoing paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) ablation, pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone fails in maintaining sinus rhythm up to one third of after a first catheter ablation. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), as an endocrine-active organ, could play role the recurrence AF Objective: To evaluate predictive value clinical, echocardiographic, biological parameters and epicardial fat density measured by computed tomography scan (CT-scan) on PAF who underwent...
Abstract Background Right ventricular function is a key determinant of survival in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, right heart failure being the leading cause death. ESC/ERS guidelines recommend evaluating RV at diagnosis and first reevaluation under treatment to estimate one-year mortality risk (1). However, few markers address both systolic afterload. Noninvasive myocardial work promising new tool that incorporates its afterload by creating pressure-strain loops (2). The...
Identifying significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (rLVEF) is essential for guiding therapeutic decisions, including medical management, device implantation and potential revascularisation. Prior studies suggested that rest cardiac MRI (CMR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) could reliably detect CAD. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of LGE-CMR predicting CAD rLVEF patients. In this prospective, multicentre cohort...
