“…Similar to myocardial fibrosis depiction, the increased extracellular space in the fibrot- ic tissue within the interstitial space of the lung allows pooling of gadolinium, which is an extracellular contrast agent. The principle of detecting gadolinium-based contrast agents in fibrotic myocardial tissue has been extensively evaluated, and the technique is now widely applied to many different types of cardiomyopathy (10,15). Since the fibrotic tissue in myocardium is histopathologically similar to lung fibrotic tissue, theoretically there is no reason why the cardiac MRI technique could not be applied to the detection of pulmonary fibrosis (20).…”

“…Clinically evident cardiac involvement is uncommon, diagnosed in 3%-5% of apical ballooning with hypokinesis and a hypercontractile LV base are frequently observed (Fig 6). Late gadolinium enhancement is thought to be absent in most patients with stressinduced cardiomyopathy, thereby allowing differentiation from myocardial infarction (8,113). Recent evidence suggests that late gadolinium enhancement may occur in the subacute phase and may be associated with cardiogenic shock and a longer recovery time (115).…”

Ischemic heart disease is the number one cause of death of women in the United States, accounting for over a quarter of a million annual female deaths. Evidence within the last several decades supports sex-specific differences in the prevalence, symptoms, and prognosis of ischemic heart disease between men and women. Despite women having a lower burden of obstructive coronary artery disease compared with men, the prevalence of angina and mortality from ischemic heart disease is higher for women than men. In addition to ischemic heart disease, certain nonischemic conditions may also have sex-specific differences in clinical presentation and occurrence. With the rising utilization of noninvasive modalities for the diagnosis and management of ischemic heart disease, it is important for radiologists to be familiar with the unique considerations for imaging women with heart disease. The purpose of this review is to discuss challenges for detection of heart disease in women, examine performance of noninvasive modalities in the detection of ischemic heart disease, and discuss nonischemic cardiomyopathies unique to or prevalent in women. Considerations for cardiac imaging in pregnancy are also discussed. RSNA, 2017.

“…Trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) is not always appropriate for some categories of patients (obese, asthmatic, etc) due to the poor quality of the images obtained. MRI can be more useful because it allows visual characterization of the heart cavity, including size of the chambers, wall thickness, functionality assessment, etc [98].…”

Diabetes mellitus worsens cardiovascular risk profile of affected individuals. Its worldwide increasing prevalence and its negative influences on vascular walls morphology and function are able to induce the expression of several morbidities which worsen the clinical conditions of the patients getting them running towards a reduced survival curve.Although overt diabetes increases the mortality rate of individuals due to its pathogenesis, poor information are in literature about the role of pre-diabetes and family history of diabetes mellitus in the outcome of general population.This emphasizes the importance of early detection of vascular impairment in subjects at risk of developing diabetes.The identification of early stages of atherosclerotic diseases in diabetic persons is a fundamental step in the risk stratification protocols followed-up by physicians in order to have a complete overview about the clinical status of such individuals. Common carotid intima-media thickness, flow-mediated vasodilatation, pulse wave velocity are instrumental tools able to detect the early impairment in cardiovascular system and stratify cardiovascular risk of individuals.The aim of this review is to get a general perspective on the complex relationship between cardiovascular diseases onset, pre-diabetes and family history of diabetes. Furthermore, it points out the influence of diabetes on heart function till the expression of the so-called diabetic cardiomyopathy.
