“…Strain analysis can be performed either by acquiring specific targeted sequences (CMR tagging) or by applying post-processing techniques on standard cine SSFP sequencessuchasfeature tracking. CMR tagging is validated and currently accepted as a standard for strain imaging [32]. Left ventricular strain after vasodilator stress has been shown to be an independent predictor for adverse cardiac events in a recently concluded prospective study [29].…”

“…Cardiac involvement have been reported in about 6% of BD patients and may be subclinical [14]. Cardiac MRI is a non-invasive modality that can evaluate cardiac function and structure [15]. In the present study, we used cardiac MRI to evaluate cardiac abnormalities in a group of 30 BD patients with no known cardiac disease.…”

Background Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multisystemic vasculitis that may affect the heart. However, the incidence and nature of cardiac involvement in BD have not been clearly documented yet. The aim of this study was to delineate the cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearances of cardiac involvement in BD patients. Methods This cross-sectional observational study was carried out 30 BD patients without known cardiac disease. Patients were subjected to history taking, physical examination, echocardiography and cardiac MRI. Results At least one abnormality on cardiac MRI was observed in 20/30 patients (66.67%). Myocardial oedema was observed in 3 patients (10%) and late gadolinium enhancement in 1 patient (3.3%). Pericardial effusion was found in 3 patients (10.0%), global hypokinesia in 6 patients (20.0%) and intra-cardiac thrombosis in only 1 patient (3.3%). Pulmonary artery was dilated in 4 patients (13.3%). Left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) end diastolic volume were altered in 4 patients (13.3%) and 7 patients (23.3%) respectively. LV and RV end systolic volume were abnormal in 7 patients (23.3%) and 5 patients (16.7%) respectively. There was aortic valve regurge in 2 patients (6.7%), tricuspid valve regurge in 9 patients (30%), and mitral valve regurge in 9 patients (30%). Dilated left main coronary artery was found in 2 patients (6.7%) and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia in only one patient 1 patient (3.3%). On logistic regression analysis, BD activity index score was a significant predictor of cardiac abnormalities. Conclusion BD may cause cardiac abnormalities without clinical manifestations and cardiac MRI may represent a tool for early detection of these subtle abnormalities. Higher BD activity index scores are strongly linked to cardiac problems.

“…Although the volumetric evaluation of LVEF is the cornerstone for assessing the cardiac function, it is recognized that additional information, over and above ejection fraction, can be beneficial. In this context, strain imaging can provide useful data for regional abnormalities as well as to identify ventricular dysfunction in a pre-clinical stage [ 66 , 67 ] . However, normal values for the method and software cutoff need to be established.…”

Contemporary Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in the Management of Patients with Suspected or Known Coronary Artery Disease

et al. 2021

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is a useful non-invasive radiation-free imaging modality for the management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). CMR cine imaging provides the “gold standard” assessment of ventricular function, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) provides useful data for the diagnosis and extent of myocardial scar and viability, while stress imaging is an established technique for the detection of myocardial perfusion defects indicating ischemia. Beyond its role in the diagnosis of CAD, CMR allows accurate risk stratification of patients with established CAD. This review aims to summarize the data regarding the role of CMR in the contemporary management of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease.
