Multimodality Imaging of Left Ventricular Clefts in an Asymptomatic Teenager.

ABSTRACT: Left ventricular clefts (LVCs) are defined as deep, tight blood-filled invaginations within the ventricular myocardium localized predominantly in the basal posterior septum and LV-free wall. Usually, they are asymptomatic and incidentally discovered during diagnostic imaging procedures. LVC has been reported both in healthy volunteers and in patients affected with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Clinicians should be able to recognize LVC and to distinguish this entity from other myocardial wall defects with different pathological profile and clinical significance. We describe a case of multimodality imaging of multiple septal myocardial clefts in an asymptomatic teenager.

Asymptomatic Left Ventricular Dissection.

Project description:Intramyocardial dissection is an uncommon complication of myocardial infarction, chest trauma, and percutaneous intervention. It is usually caused by a hemorrhagic dissection among the spiral myocardial fibers. Carries high mortality and there is still uncertainty regarding invasive or conservative management. We present a case of the left ventricular dissection discovered incidentally.

Project description:Uhl's anomaly is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by partial or complete absence of the right ventricle myocardium. We report the first case, in a 21-year-old man, of Uhl's anomaly-associated left ventricular noncompaction. This association represents a unique clinical entity and has important implications for management strategies. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Multimodality imaging of biatrial myxomas in an asymptomatic patient.

Project description:Myxomas are located in the left atrium in 75-80% of cases and almost always present with signs and symptoms of a thromboembolic event. Biatrial myxomas are rare, and their incidence is generally less than 2.5% of all myxomas. We herein present a case of biatrial myxomas as an incidental finding by echocardiography where the patient underwent surgery. Echocardiography continues to be the initial imaging modality for intracardiac masses. Cardiac magnetic resonance provides superior tissue characterization, particularly important in differentiating a myxoma from a thrombus. Appropriate use of these non-invasive imaging modalities may lead to a correct diagnosis and good outcome. <Learning objective: In this report we present a rare case of cardiac biatrial myxomas. Multimodality imaging, especially delayed enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, provided specific findings for the diagnosis.>.

Case report: multi-modality imaging of a right ventricular fibroma in a teenager.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac fibroma is a rare primary benign tumour of the heart. It often causes arrhythmia, endangers the lives of patients, and has a worse prognosis than other benign tumours. We report a 14-year-old female patient with a right ventricular fibroma. Various preoperative imaging examinations showed that the lesion was benign, and postoperative pathology confirmed that the lesions were fibroma.Case summaryA 14-year-old female patient visited her doctor for more than 5 months because of a heart murmur. Echocardiography revealed a slightly hyperechoic mass in the right ventricle, and on myocardial perfusion contrast imaging, the lesion showed equal enhancement. And the lesion also showed enhancement on contrast-enhanced gated cardiac computed tomography (CT). Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart revealed that the lesion was isointense on T1-weighted image (T1WI), and isointense to slightly hyperintense on T2-weighted image (T2WI). The lesion was significantly homogeneously enhanced on a delayed enhancement scan. A positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) demonstrated that the mass showed lower levels of 18F-FDG uptake. These features suggested this lesion was a benign lesion. The postoperative pathology suggested the lesion was a right ventricular fibroma. The patient was discharged 14 days after surgery and remains disease-free and asymptomatic 14 months after surgery.DiscussionCardiac fibromas are histologically benign, but they can cause obstruction and malignant arrhythmia. The gold standard for diagnosing fibroma is pathology. However, in the absence of pathology, it is necessary to use various imaging methods to evaluate the lesions to distinguish between benign and malignant tumours.

Incidence of left ventricular thrombus following STEMI in the modern era via multimodality imaging: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:BackgroundLeft ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a significant complication in STEMI. Previous studies were conducted prior to modern timely percutaneous reperfusion networks. Current expert opinion suggests incidence in the current era has decreased. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to better understand the incidence and diagnosis of LVT in patients with STEMI treated with timely percutaneous techniques as assessed by multimodality imaging.MethodsCochrane, EMBASE, LILACS, and MEDLINE were searched over the last 10 years only including studies using contemporary techniques. The primary outcome was detection of LVT in patients via echocardiogram with or without contrast or Cardiac MRI (cMRI) following STEMI (both anterior and any territory) treated with PCI. Data was pooled across studies and statistical analysis was conducted via random effects model.Results31 studies were included. 18 studies included data on any territory STEMI, totaling 14,172 patients, and an incidence of 5.6% [95% CI 4.3-7.0]. 18 studies were included in analysis for anterior STEMI, totaling 7382 patients and incidence of 12.7% [95% CI 9.8-15.6]. Relative to cMRI as a gold standard, the sensitivity of non-contrast echocardiography to detect LVT was 58.2% [95% CI 46.6-69.2] with a specificity of 97.8% [95% CI 96.3-98.8].ConclusionsIncidence of LVT in STEMI patients treated with contemporary timely percutaneous revascularization is in keeping with historical data and remains significant, suggesting this remains an ongoing issue for further investigation. Numerically, both cMRI and contrast echo detected more LVT compared to non-contrast echo in any-territory STEMI patients.
