Key result
Magnetic resonance tissue phase mapping demonstrated that increased age reduces diastolic long-axis velocities (P<0.003), and women have reduced systolic twist compared to men (P=0.009).
Why the study?
Does age and gender influence regional myocardial motion assessed by magnetic resonance tissue phase mapping in healthy volunteers?
Observational (n=58)
Does age and gender influence regional myocardial motion assessed by magnetic resonance tissue phase mapping in healthy volunteers?
Age and gender significantly influence regional myocardial motion, establishing the necessity for age- and gender-matched reference values when using magnetic resonance tissue phase mapping.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports age- and gender-matched TPM references; leaves open diagnostic impact in patients.
Föll et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Healthy volunteers (n=58). Magnetic resonance phase-contrast imaging (tissue phase mapping) vs. Age and gender groups was evaluated on Radial, long-axis, and rotational myocardial velocities. Magnetic resonance tissue phase mapping demonstrated that increased age reduces diastolic long-axis velocities (P<0.003), and women have reduced systolic twist compared to men (P=0.009).
