Article Synopsis
- Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a cardiomyopathy linked to excess trabeculation in the left ventricle, but its clinical significance is increasingly questioned.
- A study involving 822 patients from the EuroCMR registry assessed the impact of LV trabeculation on cardiovascular issues and mortality over about 12 months.
- The results showed no association between increased LV trabeculation and greater cardiovascular risks or mortality, indicating that hyper-trabeculation might not signify worse cardiovascular health.
Objectives: Specifically we aim to demonstrate that the results of our earlier safety data hold true in this much larger multi-national and multi-ethnical population.
Background: We sought to re-evaluate the frequency, manifestations, and severity of acute adverse reactions associated with administration of several gadolinium- based contrast agents during routine CMR on a European level.
Methods: Multi-centre, multi-national, and multi-ethnical registry with consecutive enrolment of patients in 57 European centres.
Background: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become an important diagnostic imaging modality in cardiovascular medicine. However, insufficient image quality may compromise its diagnostic accuracy. We aimed to describe and validate standardized criteria to evaluate a) cine steady-state free precession (SSFP), b) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and c) stress first-pass perfusion images.

Background: Cardiac sarcoidosis is the most important cause of patient mortality in systemic sarcoidosis, yielding a 5-year mortality rate between 25% and 66% despite immunosuppressive treatment. Other groups have shown that LGE may hold promise in predicting future adverse events in this patient group.
Background: The EuroCMR registry sought to evaluate indications, image quality, safety and impact on patient management of clinical routine CMR in a multi-national European setting. Furthermore, interim analysis of the specific protocols should underscore the prognostic potential of CMR.
Methods: Multi-center registry with consecutive enrolment of patients in 57 centers in 15 countries.
