Changes in hydration status may affect myocardial native T1 and T2 values and influence the clinical interpretation. We aimed to assess the impact of acute preload augmentation on native T1 and T2. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) native T1 and T2 mapping were performed twice on the same day in 20 healthy participants before and after an acute preload augmentation by a 2-liter intravenous infusion of isotonic sodium chloride (0.

Purpose: To determine the reproducibility of in vivo cardiac multifrequency MRE (MMRE) for assessing diastolic left ventricular (LV) stiffness and viscosity.
Study Type: Prospective.
Article Synopsis
- Objective
- : The study aimed to investigate the link between maternal diabetes during pregnancy and subtle changes in the heart structure and function of infants, specifically looking at the effects of both preexisting diabetes and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
- Methods
- : Researchers analyzed data from 25,486 infants who underwent heart ultrasound within their first two months. They used linear regression to evaluate differences in heart measurements between infants exposed to maternal diabetes and those who were not.
- Results
- : Infants whose mothers had preexisting diabetes showed significant changes like thicker heart walls, smaller heart dimensions, lower blood flow, and faster heart rates compared to unexposed infants. Those born to mothers with GDM had similar,
Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is recommended as the first-line diagnostic imaging modality in low-to-intermediate-risk individuals suspected of stable coronary artery disease (CAD). However, CCTA exposes patients to ionizing radiation and potentially nephrotoxic contrast agents. Invasive coronary angiography is the gold-standard investigation to guide coronary revascularisation strategy; however, invasive procedures incur an inherent risk to the patient.
