Head-to-Head Comparison of T1 Mapping and Electroanatomical Voltage Mapping in Patients With Ventricular Arrhythmias

Background: Electroanatomical voltage mapping (EAVM) has been compared with late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR), which cannot delineate diffuse fibrosis. T1-mapping CMR overcomes the limitations of LGE-CMR, but it has not been directly compared against EAVM. Objectives: This study aims to assess the...

Left ventricular thrombus after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: Multi-parametric cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with long-term outcomes

Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are generally associated with poorer outcomes for patients at long-term follow-up. We hypothesis that tissue characteristics and strain parameters by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging may indicate the interactions of LVT with ventricular...
