Left Ventricular Hemodynamic Forces Changes in Fabry Disease: A Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Study.

Background: Hemodynamic force (HDF) from cardiac MRI can indicate subclinical myocardial dysfunction, and help identify early cardiac changes in patients with Fabry disease (FD). The hemodynamic change in FD patients remains unclear.

Purpose: To explore HDF changes in FD and the potential of HDF measurements as diagnostic markers indicating early cardiac changes in FD.

Screening for Fabry disease in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

Background: Fabry disease (FD) usually mimics hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Decreased native T1 mapping and a unique late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) pattern by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging are specific imaging markers for FD.

Purpose: Explore the performance of multiparametric CMR imaging in screening for FD in patients with a HCM phenotype.

The Prognostic Value of Left Ventricular Entropy From T1 Mapping in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

Background: The prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) entropy in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is unclear.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of LV entropy from T1 mapping in HCM.

Methods: A total of 748 participants with HCM, who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), were consecutively enrolled.

Current perspectives of sudden cardiac death management in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy. Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a rare but the most catastrophic complication in patients with HCM. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are widely recognized as effective preventive measures for SCD.

Glycogen storage disease with massive left ventricular hypertrophy and increased native T1: a case report.

Background: Glycogen storage disease (GSD) type Ⅲa is a rare autosomal recessive disorder resulting in the accumulation of abnormally structured glycogen in the liver, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) tissue characteristics in GSD have rarely been reported.

Case Summary: We report a 24-year-old male patient suffering from recurrent palpitation and atypical chest pain for 5 years with suspected hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Validation of the Risk Stratification for Sudden Cardiac Death in Chinese Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.

Accurate identification of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients at high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) event is challenging. The objective of this study was to validate the three SCD risk stratifications recommended by the 2014 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guideline, the 2020 American Heart Association /American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) guideline, and the 2022 ESC guideline in Chinese patients with HCM. Our study population are made up of a cohort of 856 HCM patients without prior SCD events.

Incremental significance of myocardial oedema for prognosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Aims: To explore the prognosis of myocardial oedema measured by T2 mapping in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Methods And Results: A total of 674 patients with HCM (age: 50 ± 15 years, 60.5% males) who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance were prospectively enrolled from 2011 to 2020.

The predictive value of fast semi-automated left atrial long-axis strain analysis for atrial fibrillation in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Objectives: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients are closely related to LA functional impairment. Left atrial (LA) strain provides more insight into LA function. The study aimed to investigate the left atrial dysfunction of HCM patients by rapid semi-automatic method and determine the predictive value of left atrial long-axis strain (LAS) for atrial fibrillation (AF).

Prognostic value of fast semi-automated left atrial long-axis strain analysis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Background: The prognostic value of left atrial (LA) size and function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is well recognized, but LA function is difficult to routinely analyze. Fast LA long-axis strain (LA-LAS) analysis is a novel technique to assess LA function on cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). We aimed to assess the association between fast LA-LAS and adverse clinical outcomes in patients with HCM.

Prognostic value of myocardial extracellular volume fraction evaluation based on cardiac magnetic resonance T1 mapping with T1 long and short in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Objective: To investigate the prognostic significance of T1 mapping using T1 long and short in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients.

Methods: A total of 263 consecutive patients with HCM referred for cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging were enrolled in this study. The imaging protocol consisted of cine, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and T1 mapping with T1 long and short.

The Prognostic Value of Inflammation Factors in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients with Hepatic Artery Interventional Treatments: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Hepatic artery interventional therapy has been recognized as the first choice for advanced liver cancer. However, reliable prognostic markers are still lacking. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of inflammation factors including neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and monocyte to lymphocyte ratio (MLR) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with hepatic artery interventional treatments.

Prediction of Overall Survival and Progression-Free Survival by the F-FDG PET/CT Radiomic Features in Patients with Primary Gastric Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

e. To determine whether the radiomic features of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) contribute to prognosis prediction in primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PG-DLBCL) patients. .

Pretreatment Inflammatory Indexes as Prognostic Predictors of Survival in Patients Suffering From Synovial Sarcoma.

Inflammatory indexes have been considered as important prognostic factors in various types of cancers. This study aimed to evaluate prognostic values of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) in patients with synovial sarcoma (SS). One hundred and three patients diagnosed with SS were collected during 2006-2017 and divided into high or low NLR, PLR, and LMR groups based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.
