73-year-old man with nausea and epigastric pain; echocardiography showed a large mass in the epicardial space Axial (Figure 13.28.1) and sagittal (Figure 13.28.2) double inversion recovery proton density-weighted FSE images reveal an infiltrative, fairly homogeneous mass involving the pericardium and right ventricular free wall and extending inferiorly to the diaphragm. Note thickening of the pericardium overlying the posterior right and left atria. The mass shows mildly increased signal intensity relative to myocardium on an axial T2-weighted triple inversion recovery FSE image (...

Abstract Purpose We examined the relationship between EFT measured by echocardiography and LV diastolic function parameters in a Beijing community population. Methods We included 1004 participants in this study. Echocardiographic parameters including E and A peak velocity, the early diastolic velocities (e’) of the septal and lateral of mitral annulus using tissue doppler imaging, E/e’, and EFT, were measured. EFT1 was measured perpendicularly on the right ventricular free wall at end-diastole in the extension line of the aortic root. EFT2 was the maximum thickness measured perpendicularly on the right ventricular free wall at end-diastole. Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between EFT and the mean e’ and E/e’. Results The mean age of the participants was 63.91 ± 9.02 years old (51.4% men). EFT1 and EFT2 were negatively correlated with e’ lat, e’ sep, and e’ mean (p < 0.05), and positively correlated with E/e’ lat, E/e’ sep, and E/e’ mean. Multivariate regression analysis showed that EFT1 and EFT2 were independently and negatively correlated with e’ mean (EFT1: β = −0.089 [95% confidence interval = − 0.177, − 0.000, p = 0.050]; EFT2: β = −0.078 [95% confidence interval = − 0.143, − 0.012, p = 0.020]). There were no interactions between EFT and any covariates, including age or heart groups, sex, BMI, or presence of hypertension, diabetes, or coronary heart disease in relation to LV diastolic dysfunction. Conclusions EFT was negatively and independently correlated with e’ mean, suggesting that more attention to this type of adipose fat is required for cardiovascular disease therapy.

AbstractObjectives:The objective of this study was to determine the evolution of fibrosis over time and its association with clinical status.Methods:Children with repaired tetralogy of Fallot who had undergone at least two cardiac magnetic resonance examinations including T1 mapping at least 1 year apart were included.Results:Thirty-seven patients (12.7 ± 2.6 years, 61% male) were included. Right ventricular free wall T1 increased (913 ± 208 versus 1023 ± 220 ms; p = 0.02). Baseline cardiac magnetic resonance parameters did not predict a change in imaging markers or exercise tolerance. The right ventricular free wall per cent change correlated with left ventricular T1% change (r = 0.51, p = 0.001) and right ventricular mass Z-score change (r = 0.51, p = 0.001). T1 in patients with late gadolinium enhancement did not differ from the rest.Conclusion:Increasing right ventricular free wall T1 indicates possible progressive fibrotic remodelling in the right ventricular outflow tract in this pilot study in children and adolescents with repaired tetralogy of Fallot. The value of T1 mapping both at baseline and during serial assessments will need to be investigated in larger cohorts with longer follow-up.
