case number H is
0:04
okay case number eight. I'm just going to keep this still image up for case
0:07
number eight case number eight. The history is
0:12
it's an older gentleman you presented with
0:15
believe which has been or with heart failure case
0:18
number eight the history.
0:21
The question is based on the images here on here we have
0:24
on the left. We have a three chamber image on the right. We have delayed enhancement.
0:28
What is the most likely diagnosed based on these images amyloid?
0:32
ischemy cardiomyopathy dilated cardiomy of
0:35
the hemochromatosis or sacritosis
0:37
amyloid and
0:40
punch. That's not the correct diagnose. The correct diagnosis is ischemic heart
0:43
disease notice that there is enhancement involving
0:46
the LED distribution also identify the
0:49
low signal intensive structure attached to
0:52
the LV Apex in the region of the enhancement. This is a thrombus thrombi
0:55
typically assign the left ventricular Apex
0:58
in patients who have apical infants.
1:01
Many players any image here. Maybe there's
1:04
any image will make the diagnosed a little bit more obvious.
1:08
Okay. Yeah notice the thin
1:11
apical segments and the apical septum.
1:15
Overall lbjection stability decreases
1:18
an area of thickening in the ape in the extreme Apex and
1:21
this is the area which is not enhancing.
1:25
thrombi do not enhance
1:27
drawn by do not take up contrast to gatheringium. So they don't have however in
1:30
facts enhance notice the impact or delay enhancement
1:33
in these sub-indocardial region in the LED distribution. This
1:36
is the patient has ischemic cardiomyopathy and thrombus in the
1:39
heart.
1:40
A very important indication for County Commander identify cardiac thrown
1:43
by particularly the apical portions of the left ventricle
1:46
attached the AP lb AP Apex difficult rejection on
1:49
Echo car geography and they can merge with the adjacent left
1:52
ventricular wall. So it should be
1:55
kind of your mind within apical thrombosis the answer to this question.
1:58
There's two more questions based on this case fairly quick
2:01
questions, which of the following sequences for
2:04
delay enhancement would preferable for infant detection in a
2:07
heart failure patient requiring.
2:09
Fairly rapid Imaging most of the
2:12
cardiac AMR sequences require breath hold senior sequences
2:15
are late Galvin enhancement. However, patients unable to
2:18
hold their breath that is in heart failure. There
2:21
are choices available.
2:23
And it's either these five choices and more
2:26
challenging question related to kinigmatic technique.
2:29
The correct answer is actually a single
2:32
shot inversion recovery action. Sorry. Yeah,
2:35
the correct answer is B. Yes, correct, single chart
2:38
inversion recovery and steady state repossession single shot
2:41
is when we do the acquire all
2:44
the images in one R interval. They do not require breath hold so the
2:47
patient cannot hold the breath
2:48
A single shot inversion recovery steady state repossession can
2:51
be used for delay enhancement the standard or
2:54
traditional delayed enhancement is a segmented sequence which requires several
2:57
heartbeats the case spaces collector with several
3:00
heartbeats. However, the based on able to hold the breath a
3:03
single shot sequence can be used in their fairly diagnostic for evaluation
3:06
infant.
3:07
And also for thrombi good last question,
3:10
I think we have one more one more.
3:14
Question and that's possible in for time.
3:17
It's 10:57 now and will wrap up the more
3:20
sensitive technique for cardiacromis detection is either echocardiography
3:23
standard steady-state free
3:26
procession cinemri question to be late
3:29
Gallery enhancement with a 252 to 300 inversion
3:32
time or late elements on 600 to
3:35
800 version time or contrast ventric geography where we actually
3:38
inject contrast Into The ventricle invasively.
3:41
Okay contrast when the graph is is not a sensor technique for
3:44
dictionary from this this was in the wrong answer called. The
3:47
correct answer here is is D late Calum
3:51
enhancement is 600 to 800 in version time millisecond version.
3:54
I'm typical inversion times for dictionary. In fact 25300 over
3:57
if thrombus is suspectedly longer in version
4:00
time is used because in that case the thrombus becomes dark
4:03
and the normal myocardium becomes gray. So it increases
4:06
the contrast between the thrombus and the infant.
4:10
So a thrombus sequence typically requires a
4:13
fixed longer inversion time somewhere between 600 to
4:16
800 milliseconds.
4:18
and that improves diagnosis of thrombus echocardiography is
4:22
not sensitive therefore detection of thrombi even using the
4:25
contrast agents because the thrombus can be
4:28
Can merge with the adjacent myocardium same
4:31
happens with any MRI the thrombus can be a indistinguishable
4:34
from hsmicon. For example, in this case. The thrombus
4:37
may be confused with adjacent. My Kanye
4:40
West late again delayed enhancement is the key technique and in
4:43
the late enhancement and and inversion time
4:46
increasing your Invasion time from the typical 300 to 5300 to
4:49
600 to 800 improve strongest detection. Okay, so
4:52
that's case number the case. I
4:55
believe it's case number
4:58
eight. We have about two minutes left two
5:01
to three minutes left. I think that that's just about enough we
5:04
can get through today. Actually. It's 10:59 by my
5:07
time.
5:08
Do we have any questions?
5:11
From the audience. Okay. Thank you very much.
