39 Intro Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Assessment of viability of dysfunctional myocardium in patient with coronary artery disease is of great clinical importance. Revascularization of dysfunctional but viable myocardium may improve left ventricular function and long-term survival.

40 Advantages of MRI One stop shop - Provide information on morphology, function, physiology & tissue characterization in single examination. Non-operator dependent accurate & reproducible result. Non-patient dependent. Large FOV, 3D capability. Non-invasive; no ionizing radiation.

41 Indications cardiac failure size and morphology of chambers, LV mass, contractility, viability CAD anomalies of corinaries, stenosis (?) IHD infarct, scar cardiomyopathies valvular disease tumors pericardial disease congenital disease aorta size and location of ischemia, stress tests size and location of necrosis and scar, viability, thrombus size and morphology of chambers, LV mass, contractility, amyloidosis, ARVD ventricular morphology, velocities, gradient estimation morphology, vascularity, infiltration, differentiation with thrombi morphology, thickness, LV sizing chamber morphology, leaks dissection, intramural hematoma, anomalies

42 Contraindications ferromagnetic foreign bodies stimulators (cardio-, neuro-, oto-) claustrophobia poor contact arrhythmias ferromagnetic implants (orthopedic, vascular, dental) ferromagnetic valves tatoo 1st trimester of pregnancy CKD

49 Cardiac MR - Equipment MRI scanner 1.5 T or above. Dedicated phase array cardiac surface coil allow use of parallel imaging technique, at least 4 channels at anterior & posterior chest wall.

50 Cardiac MR - Equipment ECG leads for monitoring of patient s condition & gating.

61 Cardiac MR in CAD 1. Dobutamine-stress MR - ischemia & viability 2. Myocardial Perfusion MR - perfusion defect indicating hemodynamically significant stenosis. 3. Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) MR - myocardial viability. 4. Coronary MR Angiography. - anatomy

62 Dobutamine-Stress MR - Detection of myocardial ischemia & viability. - Assess regional wall motion abnormality (WMA). - Low dose (10 ug/kg/min) & high dose (40 ug/kg/min) protocol. Improvement in WMA with low dose dobutamine viable myocardium. - Ischemia is defined as a new WMA or a biphasic response. - Superior image quality compare to echo.

63 Myocardial Perfusion MR - use of pharmacologic vasodilator (adenosine or dipyridamole) to improve the sensitivity for detection of ischemia.

64 64/58 function.

65 65/58 function.

66 Myocardial Perfusion MR Myocardial perfusion is directly correlated to myocardial oxygenation, thus can be used to assess myocardial ischemia. With significant stenosis, coronary blood flow cannot increase adequately with stress perfusion defect in affected coronary artery territory. IV adenosine and IV gadolinium were given.

67 Myocardial Perfusion MR Ref: MRI clinics of North America 2003.

68 68/58 perfusion.

69 perfusion

70 Myocardial viability Reversible LV contraction impairment Stunning persistent contractile impairment after complete return of blood flow. Hibernation concomitant reduction of perfusion and contractility.

71 Myocardial viability - Revascularization of dysfunction but viable myocardium improve LV function & long term survival. - Revascularization of non-viable myocardium carry a risk of higher rate of death & non-fatal events.

72 Myocardial viability Ref: Kaul S. Assessing the myocardium after attempted reperfusion: should we bother? Circulation 1998; 98:625-7.

73 Myocardial viability - LGE - Increase in interstitial space late Gd hyperenhancement (infarcted myocardium, infiltration, fibrosis)`bright is dead

74 Myocardial viability - LGE In patient with chronic MI, increasing transmural extent of delayed hyperenhacement is correlated with poor recovery of contractile function after revascularization. CMR can quantify and predict the likelihood of myocardial functional recovery after MI.

75 Myocardial viability - LGE Ref: Wagner A et al. Lancet 2003; 361:
