THE USEFULNESS OF EARLY CARDIOVASCULAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH ACUTE CHEST PAIN, POSITIVE TROPONIN AND NON-OBSTRUCTIVE CORONARY ARTERIES by Ferreira, V, Dall'Armellina, E, Piechnik, S, Karamitsos, T, Francis, J, Choudhury, R, Channon, K, Banning, A, Kharbanda, R, Forfar, C, Ormerod, O, Prendergast, B, Kardos, A, Basagiannia, C, Newton, J, Friedrich, M, Robson, M, Neubauer, S

121 High Diagnostic Yield in Patients Presenting with Acute Chest Pain, Positive Troponins but non-obstructive Coronaries by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance imaging with Conventional and Novel T1 Mapping Techniques. by Ferreira, V, Dall'Armellina, E, Piechnik, S, Karamitsos, T, Francis, J, Choudhury, R, Channon, K, Kharbanda, R, Forfar, C, Ormerod, O, Prendergast, B, Banning, A, Kardos, A, Newton, J, Friedrich, M, Robson, M, Neubauer, S

“…INTRODUCTION: Up to 10% of patients presenting with chest pain and elevated troponin levels demonstrate non-obstructive coronary arteries on angiography, posing a clinical challenge in diagnosis, prognosis and management. …”

The global cardiovascular magnetic resonance registry (GCMR) of the society for cardiovascular magnetic resonance (SCMR): its goals, rationale, data infrastructure, and current dev... by Global Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Registry (GCMR) Investigators, Kwong, R, Petersen, S, Schulz-Menger, J, Arai, A, Bingham, S, Chen, Y, Choi, Y, Cury, R, Ferreira, V, Flamm, S, Steel, K, Bandettini, W, Martin, E, Nallamshetty, L, Neubauer, S, Raman, S, Schelbert, E, Valeti, U, Cao, J, Reichek, N, Young, A, Fexon, L, Pivovarov, M, Ferrari, V, Simonetti, O

“…The most common clinical indications for CMR have included assessment of cardiomyopathy (21%), myocardial viability (16%), stress CMR perfusion for chest pain syndromes (16%), and evaluation of etiology of arrhythmias or planning of electrophysiological studies (15%) with assessment of cardiomyopathy representing the most rapidly growing indication in the past decade. …”

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance by non contrast T1-mapping allows assessment of severity of injury in acute myocardial infarction. by Dall'Armellina, E, Piechnik, S, Ferreira, V, Si, Q, Robson, M, Francis, J, Cuculi, F, Kharbanda, R, Banning, A, Choudhury, R, Karamitsos, T, Neubauer, S

“…METHODS: 3T CMR including T2W, T1-mapping and LGE was performed in 41 patients [of these, 78% were ST elevation MI (STEMI)] with acute MI at 12-48 hour after chest pain onset and at 6 months (6M). Patients with STEMI underwent primary PCI prior to CMR. …”

Novel applications of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in acute myocardial injury by Shanmuganathan, M

“…Characterising of the extent and nature of acute myocardial injury in these patients (presenting twelve to forty-eight hours after the onset of chest pain) prior to ICA may of be of use when deciding whether to revascularise. …”
