And the case the case number three here has I'm
0:03
going to show some still images here first.
0:06
Oh, actually the video is playing so which is good. This is the
0:09
history here is a 55 year old
0:12
man admitted admitted with acute chest pain here. We
0:15
see a short axis image.
0:18
Short access video just notice the left ventricle right
0:21
ventricle entry wall septum in free
0:24
wall and the lateral wall.
0:25
I'm now going to go on to another video
0:28
which is delayed enhancement date
0:31
gallium enhancement.
0:33
So we have a combination of wall motion
0:36
and late galum enhancement. I'm going to let this late Gallery enhancements
0:39
image play.
0:41
And the first question based on this case is
0:44
perhaps the organizers can
0:47
put the first question up here just move this. Okay. So
0:50
the question one is regarding the
0:53
cause of the Imaging findings.
0:57
If we can just take I'm in the interest sometime. I'm
1:00
not going to read all through all the choices, but
1:02
we'll discuss the correct choice in a few
1:05
seconds. Once the audience has had time to answer.
1:08
Which of the following is the correct statement? Okay, the
1:11
correct answer is B good excellent. So patient
1:14
has had a my card in function the LED distribution.
1:18
And should be managed. Medically. The reason is notice
1:21
the bright area involving the southern accordion the
1:24
entry wall entry septum antrilateral and
1:27
all the apical segments notice. There's almost
1:30
full thickness. I'm going to play is still image now. I'm just
1:33
going to keep it still image now to emphasize the features.
1:37
Notice the near transmiral late gallium enhancement
1:40
in the LED distribution. This is a non-viable and
1:43
three of my Kindle infant due to left entry to
1:46
the LED left Antony decent
1:49
in coronary artery obstruction. And because it's non-viable
1:52
the thickness of the enhanced tissue and
1:55
in addition, there's wall thinning. It's greater than
1:58
50% This is non-viable It's unlike to recover with surgical management.
2:01
The patient should be managed medically. So
2:04
it's a LED distribution currently in
2:07
fatal enhancement involves into
2:10
cardium, which is a typical finding in
2:13
in fact, and it's in coronary artery distribution notably
2:16
the LED distribution.
2:18
And they enhancement is near transmiro indicating
2:21
that it's nonviable in general if enhancements or 50%
2:24
It's non-viable and paste the best management ICD placement
2:28
can be considered in patients who have low ejection fractions, but
2:31
in general if if it does not improve by
2:34
medical management at 3 typically after a time period of
2:37
optimal medical management three to four months after an infant
2:40
of the
2:42
if the ejection fraction is under 35% and
2:46
the patient's risk of certain death and nicely can
2:49
be considered but not immediately at discharge from the hospital. So LED,
2:52
in fact nonviable best management.
2:55
I'm going to keep this image up while we just reviewed two more questions regarding this
2:59
case, which of the following sequences is used for
3:02
viability Imaging routine clinical practice. So the question is
3:05
pertaining to this sequence here. What what
3:08
sequence is it T1
3:11
weighted spin echo28. It's been Echo T1
3:14
in version recovery grade Neko T1 mapping or a
3:17
non contrast steady state representation sequence. Let's have
3:20
a poll of what people think this particular sequence.
3:23
It's a bread and butter sequence for County comma
3:26
Later, I live enhancement and delayed and enhancement can be
3:29
used describe a different terms.
3:32
Okay. Well the correct answer according to
3:35
the poll is T1 weighted Terrace Post-it turbo spinach and unfortunately,
3:38
that's not right. The correct answer is C. It's a
3:41
T1 weighted post contrast inversion recovery sequencer
3:44
in version prepounces used to suppress the normal
3:47
myocardium. So
3:48
it's a T1 weighted sequence because we give gamblingium and
3:51
gadolinium is T1 shocking agents. So we have to use a excuse me.
3:54
So we have to use a T1 base sequence.
3:58
It's an inversion recovery sequence. We suppressed
4:01
the normal myocardium and abnormal. Myocardium
4:04
is bright because the normal my economy suppressed and
4:07
we use a t-1 weighted sequence as galim is
4:10
T1 shortening agent and gadolinium is
4:14
retained in areas of abnormal myocardium typically in
4:17
infants fibrotic tissue infiltrated tissue. And
4:20
so those areas become bright.
4:22
It's T1 weighted post contrast inversion recovery. The inversion recovery
4:25
pre-pulses used to suppress normal my economy.
4:28
Okay, the last question pertaining to this case is
4:32
Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding
4:35
the applications of cardiacomori nishchemical
4:38
disease, so we're looking for an incorrect statement.
4:41
Okay good. So cardiacomar is
4:44
not the test of choice for direct and atomically evaluation
4:47
currently stenosis spatial institutions under 1 millimeter
4:50
typically can be obtained only with cardiac
4:53
CT or with capita and geography and those
4:56
are needed for evaluation of direct anatomical
4:59
snows in the coronary arteries. So all the other side advances
5:02
of cardiac Mr. Highest spatial resolution access
5:05
fact
5:06
Higher sensory inspect for detecting. Ischemia
5:09
It's appropriate valuation ventricular size and
5:12
function is chemical disease can identify microvascular obstruction,
5:15
which is a prognostic factor. However to directly identify anatomical
5:18
coronary artery stenosis and obstruction either CT
5:21
or cathode and geography is recommend Mr. Is
5:24
not recommended for that purpose as of now and unliking the near future.
5:27
Okay. Thank you. So that's case number three.
5:30
Don't see any questions. So I think we'll proceed to
5:33
case number four.
