Evaluation the role of myocardial perfusion of MRI and MR cine in acute coronary syndrome / 中华放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the role of comprehensive cardiac MRI (CMRI) in diagnosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) Methods 55 patients with acute coronary syndrome underwent MR imaging 3-6 months after the reperfusion therapy Short axis images acquired by cine FIESTA sequence were used to analyze the motion of the different anatomy regions Used the FGRE ET sequence to detect the patterns of the first pass perfusion after injection of 0 2 mmol?kg 1 Gd DTPA at a flow of 3 ml?s 1 7-12 min later, MDE pulse sequence used to recognize the high signal in the myocardium Results At study entry, 38 subjects had the defect in the first pass perfusion The signal in the defect was significantly lower than that in the normal regions, which always in the subendocardium 51 subjects had delayed enhancement regions in the myocardium at different degree and different range The mean intensity of hyperenhanced regions was 4 36 times higher compared with that of the regions without hyperenhancement The difference between the 2 regions had statistical significance The extent of hyperenhancement was significantly related to the abnormality of wall motion The range of delayed enhancement was bigger than that of the first perfusion defect Conclusion Comprehensive evidence of delayed hyperenhancement, dysfunction of myocardium, and the defect of first pass perfusion can be used to predict myocardial infarction
