Article Synopsis
- Real-time cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) allows for detailed imaging of the heart without using contrast agents or X-rays, and CMR-guided right heart catheterization (CMR-RHC) merges this technology with traditional catheterization methods.
- This study evaluated the feasibility and safety of CMR-RHC in 35 patients needing right heart catheterization from December 2018 to May 2021, finding a high success rate of 91% in obtaining necessary measurements and no adverse effects reported.
- The procedures averaged 29 minutes for CMR-RHC and 62 minutes total, with good overall comfort reported by both patients and physicians, highlighting the technique's potential for improving cardiac diagnostics.*
Introduction: The natural history of acute myocarditis (AM) remains partially unknown and predictors of outcome are debated. We sought to assess the impact of various cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters on early and long-term prognosis in a population of patients with AM.
Materials And Methods: In a two-center longitudinal study, we included consecutive patients with diagnosis of AM based on CMR and without hemodynamic compromise.
