Pericardial Effusion & Cardiac tamponade

…other radiological examinations are most often required, in particular computed tomography (DT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Anatomy of the pericardium The pericardium consists…

Chest Pain in the Emergency Department: Diagnostic Pathways

…pain. Myocarditis and pericarditis can present with chest pain, ECG abnormalities, and biomarker elevation; echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging may demonstrate inflammatory involvement. Gastrointestinal…

Left Ventricular Thrombus After Myocardial Infarction

…Visualization on multiple imaging planes. Location adjacent to hyperkinetic myocardium. Large thrombus burden. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can further characterize thrombus morphology and may assist…

Periprocedural Myocardial Infarction After PCI and CABG

…magnetic resonance imaging has demonstrated procedural injury in patients undergoing either procedure, and postprocedural cTnI elevation correlates with evidence of injury on cardiac magnetic resonance…

🟠 HCM Risk-SCD Calculator

…risk categories. A significant shortcoming of the HCM Risk SCD Score is the absence of magnetic resonance imaging parameters (extent of myocardial fibrosis). Risk stratification…

ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Diagnosis and ECG Criteria

…descriptors of pathological extent. Magnetic resonance imaging findings indicate that Q wave development relates more closely to infarct volume than to transmurality. Clinical Presentation and…

Left Ventricular Segments for Echocardiography and Cardiac Imaging

…and cardiac imaging Cardiovascular imaging modalities have developed rapidly in the past few decades. The repertoire of available methods includes echocardiography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR…

Atrial and ventricular enlargement: hypertrophy and dilatation on ECG

…ECG is a useful tool for detecting hypertrophy/dilatation but echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) are superior to the ECG in terms of…

ECG signs of myocardial infarction: pathological Q-waves & pathological R-waves

…to 30% of patients with inferior infarction. The amplitude of Q waves may also diminish over time. Moreover, magnetic resonance imaging has suggested that pathological…

Ventricular Tachycardia

…of VT management has undergone a profound paradigm shift. Driven by advanced electroanatomical mapping, high resolution cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, and landmark clinical trials…
