Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of techniques for the quantification of myocardial scar of differing etiology using cardiac magnetic resonance
Andrew S. Flett,Jonathan Hasleton,Christopher Cook,Derek J. Hausenloy,Giovanni Quarta,Giovanni Quarta,Cono Ariti,Vivek Muthurangu,James C. Moon +8 more
TL;DR: Regardless of the disease under study, the FWHM technique for LGE quantification gives LGE volume mean results similar to manual quantification and is statistically the most reproducible, reducing required sample sizes by up to one-half.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance measurement of myocardial extracellular volume in health and disease
Daniel Sado,Andrew S. Flett,Sanjay M Banypersad,Steven K White,Viviana Maestrini,Giovanni Quarta,Robin H. Lachmann,Elaine Murphy,Atul Mehta,Derralynn Hughes,William J. McKenna,Andrew M. Taylor,Andrew M. Taylor,Derek J. Hausenloy,Philip N. Hawkins,Perry M. Elliott,James C. Moon +16 more
TL;DR: Myocardial ECV, assessed non-invasively in the septum with equilibrium contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance, shows gender differences in normal individuals and disease-specific variability, and shows early potential to be a useful biomarker in health and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Syncope and risk of sudden death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Paolo Spirito,Camillo Autore,Claudio Rapezzi,Paola Bernabò,Roberto Badagliacca,Martin S. Maron,Sergio Bongioanni,Fabio Coccolo,N.A. Mark Estes,Caterina S. Barillà,Elena Biagini,Giovanni Quarta,Maria Rosa Conte,Paolo Bruzzi,Barry J. Maron +14 more
TL;DR: In the present large cohort of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, unexplained syncope was a risk factor for sudden death and was maintained throughout all age groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment and significance of left ventricular mass by cardiovascular magnetic resonance in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Iacopo Olivotto,Martin S. Maron,Camillo Autore,John R. Lesser,Luigi Rega,Giancarlo Casolo,Marcello De Santis,Giovanni Quarta,Stefano Nistri,Franco Cecchi,Carol J Salton,James E. Udelson,Warren J. Manning,Barry J. Maron +13 more
TL;DR: In distinction to prior perceptions, LV mass index was normal in about 20% of patients with definite HCM phenotype, and is not a requirement for establishing the clinical diagnosis of HCM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in the Lamin A/C gene mimic arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
Giovanni Quarta,Petros Syrris,Michael Ashworth,Sharon Jenkins,Krisztina Zuborne Alapi,John M. Morgan,Alison Muir,Antonios Pantazis,William J. McKenna,Perry M. Elliott,Perry M. Elliott +10 more
TL;DR: Lamin A/C gene should be added to desmosomal genes when genetically testing patients with suspected ARVC, particularly when they also have ECG evidence for conduction disease.
