Abstract

Purpose of Review

This review discusses the cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) myocardial tissue characterization techniques and its applications with a focus on pediatric patients. Delayed enhancement CMR (DE-CMR) is well established to detect focal myocardial fibrosis in the clinical setting but has its limitation in detecting diffuse myocardial disease. Newer mapping techniques allow exact assessment of myocardial relaxation times and their changes in various cardiac pathologies.

Recent Findings

T1 mapping gives new insights in diffuse myocardial disease in pediatric patients with tetralogy of Fallot. T2 mapping seems to be superior to other CMR parameters for identifying myocarditis. Changes in myocardial T2* in thalassemia major can be detected in childhood suggesting that myocardial damage occurs early in life.

Summary

Advanced CMR mapping techniques underlie a rapid development and enable a noninvasive characterization of the myocardium. Although data for young patients are limited, mapping techniques have the potential to become key imaging tools in pediatric patients.

Screening-Mammografie offenbart erhöhtes Herz-Kreislauf-Risiko

26.04.2024 Mammografie Nachrichten

Routinemäßige Mammografien helfen, Brustkrebs frühzeitig zu erkennen. Anhand der Röntgenuntersuchung lassen sich aber auch kardiovaskuläre Risikopatientinnen identifizieren. Als zuverlässiger Anhaltspunkt gilt die Verkalkung der Brustarterien.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.

Adipositas-Medikament auch gegen Schlafapnoe wirksam

24.04.2024 Adipositas Nachrichten

Der als Antidiabetikum sowie zum Gewichtsmanagement zugelassene Wirkstoff Tirzepatid hat in Studien bei adipösen Patienten auch schlafbezogene Atmungsstörungen deutlich reduziert, informiert der Hersteller in einer Vorab-Meldung zum Studienausgang.
