Noncontrast T1 mapping for the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis

TD Karamitsos, SK Piechnik, SM Banypersad… - JACC: Cardiovascular …, 2013 - jacc.org
Objectives : This study sought to explore the potential role of noncontrast myocardial T1
mapping for detection of cardiac involvement in patients with primary amyloid light-chain (AL) …

The role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in heart failure

TD Karamitsos, JM Francis, S Myerson… - Journal of the American …, 2009 - jacc.org
Noninvasive imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis of heart failure, assessment of
prognosis, and monitoring of therapy. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) offers a …

Human non-contrast T1 values and correlation with histology in diffuse fibrosis

…, VM Ferreira, M Loudon, JM Francis, TD Karamitsos… - Heart, 2013 - heart.bmj.com
Background Aortic stenosis (AS) leads to diffuse fibrosis in the myocardium, which is linked
to adverse outcome. Myocardial T1 values change with tissue composition. Objective To test …

[HTML][HTML] Non-contrast T1-mapping detects acute myocardial edema with high diagnostic accuracy: a comparison to T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance

…, SK Piechnik, E Dall'Armellina, TD Karamitsos… - Journal of …, 2012 - Elsevier
Background T2w-CMR is used widely to assess myocardial edema. Quantitative T1-mapping
is also sensitive to changes in free water content. We hypothesized that T1-mapping would …

T1 Mapping for the Diagnosis of Acute Myocarditis Using CMR: Comparison to T2-Weighted and Late Gadolinium Enhanced Imaging

…, SK Piechnik, E Dall'Armellina, TD Karamitsos… - JACC: Cardiovascular …, 2013 - jacc.org
Objectives : This study sought to test the diagnostic performance of native T 1 mapping in
acute myocarditis compared with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) techniques such as dark-…

Myocardial tissue characterization using magnetic resonance noncontrast t1 mapping in hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy

…, M Mahmod, L Cochlin, TD Karamitsos… - Circulation …, 2012 - Am Heart Assoc
Background— Noncontrast magnetic resonance T1 mapping reflects a composite of both
intra- and extracellular signal. We hypothesized that noncontrast T1 mapping can characterize …

[HTML][HTML] Cardiovascular magnetic resonance by non contrast T1-mapping allows assessment of severity of injury in acute myocardial infarction

…, AP Banning, RP Choudhury, TD Karamitsos… - Journal of …, 2012 - Elsevier
Background Current cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) methods, such as late
gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and oedema imaging (T2W) used to depict myocardial ischemia, …

[HTML][HTML] Normal variation of magnetic resonance T1 relaxation times in the human population at 1.5 T using ShMOLLI

…, SK White, M Lazdam, T Karamitsos… - Journal of …, 2013 - Springer
Background Quantitative T1-mapping is rapidly becoming a clinical tool in cardiovascular
magnetic resonance (CMR) to objectively distinguish normal from diseased myocardium. The …

[HTML][HTML] Subclinical myocardial inflammation and diffuse fibrosis are common in systemic sclerosis–a clinical study using myocardial T1-mapping and extracellular …

…, PB Wordsworth, S Neubauer, TD Karamitsos - Journal of …, 2014 - Elsevier
Background Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterised by multi-organ tissue fibrosis including
the myocardium. Diffuse myocardial fibrosis can be detected non-invasively by T1 and …

Dynamic changes of edema and late gadolinium enhancement after acute myocardial infarction and their relationship to functional recovery and salvage index

…, N Karia, AC Lindsay, TD Karamitsos… - Circulation …, 2011 - Am Heart Assoc
Background— Changes in the myocardium in acute ischemia are dynamic and complex, and
the characteristics of myocardial tissue on cardiovascular magnetic resonance in the acute …
