In the past, coronary revascularization with venous grafts of the right coronary artery and circumflex artery as well as internal mammaria graft to the left anterior descending artery was performed 20 years before. The general clinicians presented the case to the surgeons and it was decided to perform cardiac MRI as a preoperative diagnostic modality. Discussion and evaluation: Following cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass in the pericardium in the right atrioventricular groove with thrombotic material.

However, data using CMR-FT to quantify left ventricular (LV) torsion and diastolic recoil are not yet available. We therefore sought to evaluate the feasibility and reproducibility of CMR-FT to quantify LV torsion and peak recoil rate using an optimal anatomical approach. Methods: Short-axis cine stacks were acquired at rest and during dobutamine stimulation (10 and 20 mu g.kg(-1).min(-1)) in 10 healthy volunteers. Rotational displacement was analysed for all slices. A complete 3D-LV rotational model was developed using linear interpolation between adjacent slices. Torsion was defined as the difference between apical and basal rotation, divided by slice distance. Depending on the distance between the most apical (defined as 0% LV distance) and basal (defined as 100% LV distance) slices, four different models for the calculation of torsion were examined: Model-1 (25-75%), Model-2 (0-100%), Model-3 (25-100%) and Model-4 (0-75%). Analysis included subendocardial, subepicardial and global torsion and recoil rate (mean of subendocardial and subepicardial values). Results: Quantification of torsion and recoil rate was feasible in all subjects. There was no significant difference between the different models at rest. However, only Model-1 (25-75%) discriminated between rest and stress (Global Torsion: 2.7 +/- 1.5 degrees cm(-1), 3.6 +/- 2.0 degrees cm(-1), 5.1 +/- 2.2 degrees cm(-1), p<0.01; Global Recoil Rate: -30.1 +/- 11.1 degrees cm(-1) s (-1), -469 +/- 15.0 degrees cm (-1) s (-1), -68.9 +/- 32.3 degrees cm(-1) s(-1), p<0.01; for rest, 10 and 20 mu g.kg(-1).min(-1) of dobutamine, respectively). Reproducibility was sufficient for all parameters as determined by Bland-Altman analysis, intraclass correlation coefficients and coefficient of variation. Conclusions: CMR-FT based derivation of myocardial torsion and recoil rate is feasible and reproducible at rest and with dobutamine stress. Using an optimal anatomical approach measuring rotation at 25% and 75% apical and basal LV locations allows effective quantification of torsion and recoil dynamics.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Real-time MRI was based on a radial fast low-angle shot (FLASH) sequence with about 30-fold undersampling and image reconstruction by regularized nonlinear inversion. Phase-contrast maps were obtained from two (interleaved or sequential) acquisitions with and without a bipolar velocity-encoding gradient. Blood flow in the ascending aorta was studied in 10 healthy volunteers at 3 T by both real-time MRI (15 sec during free breathing) and electrocardiogram (ECG)-synchronized cine MRI (with and without breath holding). Flow velocities and stroke volumes were evaluated using standard postprocessing software. RESULTS: The total acquisition time for a pair of phase-contrast images was 40.0 msec (TR/TE = 2.86/1.93 msec, 10° flip angle, 7 spokes per image) for a nominal in-plane resolution of 1.3 mm and a section thickness of 6 mm. Quantitative evaluations of spatially averaged flow velocities and stroke volumes were comparable for real-time and cine methods when real-time MRI data were averaged across heartbeats. For individual heartbeats real-time phase-contrast MRI resulted in higher peak velocities for values above 120 cm s(-1).

The importance of left atrial (LA) deformation assessment is increasingly recognized and can be assessed with echocardiographic speckle tracking. However atrial deformation quantification has never previously been demonstrated with CMR. We sought to determine the feasibility and reproducibility of CMR-FT for quantitative derivation of LA strain and strain rate (SR) myocardial mechanics. Methods: 10 healthy volunteers, 10 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and 10 patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) were studied at 1.5 Tesla. LA longitudinal strain and SR parameters were derived from SSFP cine images using dedicated CMR-FT software (2D CPA MR, TomTec, Germany). LA performance was analyzed using 4- and 2-chamber views including LA reservoir function (total strain [epsilon(s)], peak positive SR [SRs]), LA conduit function (passive strain [epsilon(e)], peak early negative SR [SRe]) and LA booster pump function (active strain [epsilon(a)], late peak negative SR [SRa]). Results: In all subjects LA strain and SR parameters could be derived from SSFP images. There was impaired LA reservoir function in HCM and HFpEF (epsilon(s) [%]: HCM 22.1 +/- 5.5, HFpEF 16.3 +/- 5.8, Controls 29.1 +/- 5.3, p < 0.01; SRs [s(-1)]: HCM 0.9 +/- 0.2, HFpEF 0.8 +/- 0.3, Controls 1.1 +/- 0.2, p < 0.05) and impaired LA conduit function as compared to healthy controls (epsilon(e) [%]: HCM 10.4 +/- 3.9, HFpEF 11.9 +/- 4.0, Controls 21.3 +/- 5.1, p < 0.001; SRe [s(-1)]: HCM -0.5 +/- 0.2, HFpEF -0.6 +/- 0.1, Controls -1.0 +/- 0.3, p < 0.01). LA booster pump function was increased in HCM while decreased in HFpEF (epsilon(a) [%]: HCM 11.7 +/- 4.0, HFpEF 4.5 +/- 2.9, Controls 7.8 +/- 2.5, p < 0.01; SRa [s(-1)]: HCM -1.2 +/- 0.4, HFpEF -0.5 +/- 0.2, Controls -0.9 +/- 0.3, p < 0.01). Observer variability was excellent for all strain and SR parameters on an intra- and inter-observer level as determined by Bland-Altman, coefficient of variation and intraclass correlation coefficient analyses. Conclusions: CMR-FT based atrial performance analysis reliably quantifies LA longitudinal strain and SR from standard SSFP cine images and discriminates between patients with impaired left ventricular relaxation and healthy controls. CMR-FT derived atrial deformation quantification seems a promising novel approach for the study of atrial performance and physiology in health and disease states."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1186/s12968-014-0060-6"],["dc.identifier.gro","3142077"],["dc.identifier.isi","000341846700001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","25196447"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/10814"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/4289"],["dc.notes.intern","WoS Import 2017-03-10"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.notes.submitter","PUB_WoS_Import"],["dc.publisher","Biomed Central Ltd"],["dc.relation.eissn","1532-429X"],["dc.relation.issn","1097-6647"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0"],["dc.title","Quantification of left atrial strain and strain rate using Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance myocardial feature tracking: a feasibility study"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Methods In 75 patients with pulmonary outflow tract obstruction maximal and mean PC-MR gradients were compared to maximal and mean Doppler gradients. Additionally, in a subgroup of 31 patients maximal and mean PC-MR and Doppler pressure gradients were compared to catheter peak-to-peak pressure gradients (PPG). Results Maximal and mean PC-MR gradients underestimated pulmonary outflow tract obstruction as compared to Doppler (max gradient: bias = + 8.4 mm Hg (+ 47.6%), r = 0.89, p < 0.001; mean gradient: + 4.3 mm Hg (+ 49.0%), r = 0.88, p < 0.001). However, in comparison to catheter PPG, maximal PC-MR gradients (bias = + 1.8 mm Hg (+ 8.8%), r = 0.90, p = 0.14) and mean Doppler gradients (bias = − 2.3 mm Hg (− 11.2%), r = 0.87, p = 0.17) revealed best agreement. Mean PC-MR gradients underestimated (bias = − 7.7 mm Hg (− 55.6%), r = 0.90, p < 0.001) while maximal Doppler gradients systematically overestimated catheter PPG (bias = + 13.9 mm Hg (+ 56.5%), r = 0.88, p < 0.001). Conclusions Estimated maximal PC-MR pressure gradients from routine CHD follow-up agree well with invasively assessed peak-to-peak pressure gradients. Estimated maximal Doppler pressure gradients tend to overestimate, while Doppler mean gradients agree better with catheter PPG. Therefore, our data provide reasonable arguments to either apply maximal PC-MR gradients or mean Doppler gradients to non-invasively evaluate the severity of pulmonary outflow tract obstruction in the follow-up of CHD."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.ijcha.2015.11.001"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/12765"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/58581"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.issn","2352-9067"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0"],["dc.title","Non-invasive estimation of pulmonary outflow tract obstruction: A comparative study of cardiovascular phase contrast magnetic resonance and Doppler echocardiography versus cardiac catheterization"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
