    • Echocardiography, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), cardiac magnetic resonance, and cardiac computed tomography can be used for anatomic and functional imaging of the heart. All 4 methods are subject to continuous improvement. Echocardiography benefits from the more widespread availability of 3-dimensional imaging, strain and strain rate analysis, and contrast applications. SPECT imaging continues to provide very valuable prognostic data, and PET imaging, on the one hand, permits quantification of coronary flow reserve, a strong prognostic predictor, and, on the other hand, can be used for molecular imaging, allowing the analysis of extremely small-scale functional alterations in the heart. Magnetic resonance is gaining increasing importance as a stress test, mainly through perfusion imaging, and continues to provide very valuable prognostic information based on late gadolinium enhancement. Magnetic resonance coronary angiography does not substantially contribute to clinical cardiology at this point in time. Computed tomography imaging of the heart mainly concentrates on the imaging of coronary artery lumen and plaque and has made substantial progress regarding outcome data. In this review, the current status of the 5 imaging techniques is illustrated by reviewing pertinent publications of the year 2012.

  • Cardiac Imaging in Carcinoid Heart Disease
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: JACC Cardiovascular Imaging. - : American College of Cardiology. - 1936-878X .- 1876-7591. ; 14:11, s. 2240-2253

    • Carcinoid disease is caused by neuroendocrine tumors, most often located in the gut, and leads in approximately 20% of cases to specific, severe heart disease, most prominently affecting right-sided valves. If cardiac disease occurs, it determines the patient's prognosis more than local growth of the tumor. Surgical treatment of carcinoid-induced valve disease has been found to improve survival in observational studies. Cardiac imaging is crucial for both diagnosis and management of carcinoid heart disease; in the past, imaging was accomplished largely by echocardiography, but more recently, imaging for carcinoid heart disease has increasingly become multimodal and warrants awareness of the particular diagnostic challenges of this disease. This paper reviews the pathophysiology and manifestations of carcinoid heart disease in light of the different imaging modalities.

  • Robot-Assisted Remote Echocardiographic Examination and Teleconsultation : A Randomized Comparison of Time to Diagnosis With Standard of Care Referral Approach
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: JACC Cardiovascular Imaging. - : Elsevier BV. - 1936-878X .- 1876-7591. ; 7:8, s. 799-803
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The strategy using cardiological consultation in addition to the robot-assisted remote echocardiography at a distance was tested in a prospective, randomized open-Label trial to evaluate its feasibility and to define its clinical value in a rural area. The present study involved 1 primary healthcare center in the north of Sweden, 135 miles from the hospital where the echocardiograms and the cardiology teleconsultation were performed tong distance in real time. Nineteen patients were randomized to remote consultation and imaging, and 19 to the standard of care consultation. The total process time was significantly reduced in the former arm (median 114 days vs. 26.5 days; p < 0.001). The time from randomization until attaining a specialist consultation was also significantly reduced (p < 0.001). The patients satisfaction was reassuring; they considered that the remote consultation strategy offered an increased rapidity of diagnosis and the likelihood of receiving faster management compared with the standard of care at the primary healthcare center.

  • Myocardium at risk after acute infarction in humans on cardiac magnetic resonance: quantitative assessment during follow-up and validation with single-photon emission computed tomography.
  • 2009
  • Ingår i: JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging. - : Elsevier BV. - 1876-7591 .- 1936-878X. ; 2:5, s. 569-576
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to validate myocardium at risk on T2-weighted short tau inversion recovery (T2-STIR) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) over time, compared with that seen with perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and to assess the amount of salvaged myocardium after 1 week. BACKGROUND: To assess reperfusion therapy, it is necessary to determine how much myocardium is salvaged by measuring the final infarct size in relation to the initial myocardium at risk of the left ventricle (LV). METHODS: Sixteen patients with first-time ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction received (99m)Tc tetrofosmin before primary percutaneous coronary intervention. SPECT was performed within 4 h and T2-STIR CMR within 1 day, 1 week, 6 weeks, and 6 months. At 1 week, patients were injected with a gadolinium-based contrast agent for quantification of infarct size. RESULTS: Myocardium at risk at occlusion on SPECT was 33 +/- 10% of the LV. Myocardium at risk on T2-STIR did not differ from SPECT, at day 1 (29 +/- 7%, p = 0.49) or week 1 (31 +/- 6%, p = 0.16) but declined at week 6 (10 +/- 12%, p = 0.0096 vs. 1 week) and month 6 (4 +/- 11%, p = 0.0013 vs. 1 week). There was a correlation between myocardium at risk demonstrated by T2-STIR at week 1 and myocardium at risk by SPECT (r(2) = 0.70, p < 0.001), and the difference between the methods on Bland-Altman analysis was not significant (-2.3 +/- 5.7%, p = 0.16). Both modalities identified myocardium at risk in the same perfusion territory and in concordance with angiography. Final infarct size was 8 +/- 7%, and salvage was 75 +/- 19% of myocardium at risk. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that T2-STIR performed up to 1 week after reperfusion can accurately determine myocardium at risk as it was before opening of the occluded artery. CMR can also quantify salvaged myocardium as myocardium at risk minus final infarct size.

  • Determinants of Intima-Media Thicknessin the Young: The ALSPAC Study.
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: JACC. Cardiovascular imaging. - : Elsevier BV. - 1876-7591 .- 1936-878X. ; 14:2, s. 468-478
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This study characterized the determinants of carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in a large (n > 4,000) longitudinal cohort of healthy young people age 9 to 21 years.Greater cIMT is commonly used in the young as a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis, but its evolution at this age is still poorly understood.Associations between cardiovascular risk factors and cIMT were investigated in both longitudinal (ages 9 to 17 years) and cross-sectional (ages 17 and 21 years) analyses, with the latter also related to other measures of carotid structure and stress. Additional use of ultra-high frequency ultrasound in the radial artery at age 21 years allowed investigation of the distinct layers (i.e., intima or media) that may underlie observed differences.Fat-free mass (FFM) and systolic blood pressure were the only modifiable risk factors positively associated with cIMT (e.g., mean difference in cIMT per 1-SD increase in FFM at age 17: 0.007mm: 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.004 to 0.010; p<0.001), whereas fat mass was negatively associated with cIMT (difference:-0.0032; 95%CI: 0.004 to-0.001; p=0.001). Similar results were obtained when investigating cumulative exposure to these factors throughout adolescence. An increase in cIMT maintained circumferential wall stress in the face of increased mean arterial pressure when increases in body mass were attributable to increased FFM, but not fat mass. Risk factor-associated differences in the radial artery occurred in the media alone, and there was little evidence of a relationship between intimal thickness and any risk factor.Subtle changes in cIMT in the young may predominantly involve the media and represent physiological adaptations as opposed to subclinical atherosclerosis. Other vascular measures might be more appropriate for the identification of arterial disease before adulthood.

  • Magnetic Resonance Measurement of Turbulent Kinetic Energy for the Estimation of Irreversible Pressure Loss in Aortic Stenosis
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: JACC Cardiovascular Imaging. - : Elsevier. - 1936-878X .- 1876-7591. ; 6:1, s. 64-71
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • ObjectivesThe authors sought to measure the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the ascending aorta of patients with aortic stenosis and to assess its relationship to irreversible pressure loss.BackgroundIrreversible pressure loss caused by energy dissipation in post-stenotic flow is an important determinant of the hemodynamic significance of aortic stenosis. The simplified Bernoulli equation used to estimate pressure gradients often misclassifies the ventricular overload caused by aortic stenosis. The current gold standard for estimation of irreversible pressure loss is catheterization, but this method is rarely used due to its invasiveness. Post-stenotic pressure loss is largely caused by dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy into heat. Recent developments in magnetic resonance flow imaging permit noninvasive estimation of TKE.MethodsThe study was approved by the local ethics review board and all subjects gave written informed consent. Three-dimensional cine magnetic resonance flow imaging was used to measure TKE in 18 subjects (4 normal volunteers, 14 patients with aortic stenosis with and without dilation). For each subject, the peak total TKE in the ascending aorta was compared with a pressure loss index. The pressure loss index was based on a previously validated theory relating pressure loss to measures obtainable by echocardiography.ResultsThe total TKE did not appear to be related to global flow patterns visualized based on magnetic resonance–measured velocity fields. The TKE was significantly higher in patients with aortic stenosis than in normal volunteers (p < 0.001). The peak total TKE in the ascending aorta was strongly correlated to index pressure loss (R2 = 0.91).ConclusionsPeak total TKE in the ascending aorta correlated strongly with irreversible pressure loss estimated by a well-established method. Direct measurement of TKE by magnetic resonance flow imaging may, with further validation, be used to estimate irreversible pressure loss in aortic stenosis.
