Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 2022 Cases of SCMR case series

Figures

• 

  Fig. 1. Case 1. Fig. 1. T2-weighted (T2w) double inversion recovery four chamber view. There is evidence of myocardial edema in the lateral left ventricular (LV) wall.

• 

  Fig. 2. Case 1. Fig. 2. Short axis stack (A-C) and four (D), three (E), two (F) chamber late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. Possible mid to epicardial hyperenhancement is seen in the basal anterior and inferolateral wall was evident.

• 

  Fig. 3. Case 1. Fig. 3. Axial contrast-enhanced cardiac computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA). Aneurysmal dilation of the left main coronary artery at 5 mm diameter, and multiple fusiform aneurysms in the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery with a giant aneurysm (10 mm diameter) at the proximal portion were depicted.

• 

  Fig. 4. Case 2. Fig. 1. Chest CT without contrast in the axial plane. There are multiple lung masses present.

• 

  Fig. 5. Case 2. Fig. 2. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) apical three chamber view (A,B), parasternal short axis (C), and a modified parasternal short axis with contrast enhancement (D). There is a large mass attached to the interventricular septum.

• 

  Fig. 6. Case 2. Fig. 3. T1 weighted (T1w; A,B) and T2w (C,D) spectral adiabatic inversion recovery (SPAIR) images in mid short axis (A,C) and four chamber (B,D) views. Multiple hyperlucent masses in the LV and right ventricle (RV) on both T1 and T2 weighted images are present.

• 

  Fig. 7. Case 2. Fig. 4. LGE in the basal short axis (A), two chamber (B), and four chamber (C) views. Multiple myocardial masses (arrows) with hyperenhancement are present.

• 

  Fig. 8. Case 2. Fig. 5. Native T1 (A) and T2 (B) parametric mapping images from the mid short axis view. The measured T1 times of the myocardial masses (arrow) are low and T2 mapping times are variable with the yellow arrow at 52 msec and red arrow at 75 msec.

• 

  Fig. 9. Case 3. Fig. 1. Chest x-ray anteroposterior projection. There is cardiomegaly with mild central vascular congestion.

• 

  Fig. 10. Case 3. Fig. 2. TTE parasternal short axis (A), subcostal sagittal (B), and apical four chamber (C,D) views. The RV is anterior to the presumed hypoplastic LV, and a large posterior aneurysm is present. There is flow into the presumed left atrial (LA) appendage aneurysm and presumed hypoplastic LV and mitral atresia (MA).

• 

  Fig. 11. Case 3. Fig. 3. TTE apical five chamber view in 2D (A) and color Doppler (B) and subcostal oblique view in 2D (C) and color Doppler (D). The aorta (Ao) arises from the RV. The pulmonary valve (PV) arises from the RV as well.

• 

  Fig. 12. Case 3. Fig. 4. Flow versus time of the mitral valve annulus inflow (A), gradient echo of the mitral valve annulus en face (B) with corresponding phases contrast (C) image. There is an E and A wave during mitral valve inflow in diastole with flow reversal during systole.
