Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of acute and chronic infarct size (IS) by delayed enhancement (DE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Infarct size measurements can be used as surrogate end point to reduce the sample size in studies comparing different reperfusion strategies in myocardial infarction (MI). Delayed enhancement MRI is a rather new technique, and so far infarct IS reproducibility has not been established appropriately. In 21 patients (10 acute MI and 11 chronic MI), IS was assessed repeatedly on consecutive days by DE-MRI. Reproducibility, interobserver, and intraobserver variabilities were assessed and compared by the Bland-Altman method. Acute and chronic IS were 17.1 +/- 19.6% (range 5.1% to 69.8%) of LV mass (%LV) and 16.9 +/- 9.9 %LV (range 2.0% to 36.0%), respectively. Infarct size difference (bias) between scan I and scan II was -0.5 %LV, and limits of agreement were +/-2.4 %LV. Mean bias (-0.7 %LV) and limits of agreement (+/-3.2%) were slightly higher for acute in comparison with chronic MI with -0.4 +/- 1.3 %LV. Intraobserver and interobserver variability was low with a mean bias of 0.3 %LV (limits of agreement +/- 1.7 %LV) and -0.7 %LV (limits of agreement +/- 2.2 %LV), respective...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
