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.

Background: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is an infiltrative disease characterised by accumulation of amyloid deposits in the extracellular space of the myocardium-comprising transthyretin (ATTR) and light chain (AL) amyloidosis as the most frequent subtypes. Histopathological proof of amyloid deposits by endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is the gold standard for diagnosis of CA. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) allows non-invasive workup of suspected CA.

Department of Cardiology, Robert-Bosch-Medical Centre, Stuttgart, Germany.
Aims: In the placebo-controlled, double-blind BOne marrOw transfer to enhance ST-elevation infarct regeneration (BOOST) 2 trial, intracoronary autologous bone marrow cell (BMC) transfer did not improve recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at 6 months in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and moderately reduced LVEF. Regional myocardial perfusion as determined by adenosine stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (S-CMR) may be more sensitive than global LVEF in detecting BMC treatment effects. Here, we sought to evaluate (i) the changes of myocardial perfusion in the infarct area over time (ii) the effects of BMC therapy on infarct perfusion, and (iii) the relation of infarct perfusion to LVEF recovery at 6 months.

Department of Cardiology, Robert Bosch Medical Centre, Stuttgart, 70376, Germany.
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.

Evaluation of aortic stenosis by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging: comparison with established routine clinical techniques.

August 2004
Department of Cardiology and Pulmology, Robert Bosch Medical Centre, Stuttgart, Germany.
Objective: To evaluate whether direct planimetry of aortic valve area (AVA) by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a reliable tool for determining the severity of aortic stenosis compared with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE), and cardiac catheterisation.
Methods: 44 symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis were studied. By cardiac catheterisation AVA was calculated by the Gorlin equation.
