A recently published article from Berlin highlights the potential of MyoStress in terms of identifying at-risk patients who have reserve and are therefore not symptomatic compared to patients with heart failure who have a preserved ejection fraction. This article shows that asymptomatic subjects with increased CV risk present with HFpEF like impaired myocardial deformation at rest, while they show results like controls under HG stress.
Multi-Parametric Non-Contrast Cardiac Magnetic Resonance for the Differentiation Between Cardiac Amyloidosis and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
The study aimed to assess fast strain-encoded (SENC) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and native T1 mapping in distinguishing between hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and cardiac amyloidosis. Ninety-nine patients (57 with HCM, 42 with amyloidosis) were analyzed for LV parameters, myocardial strain (global and segmental), and T1 values. HCM patients showed evenly
