Marmursztejn J et al. – CMRI with DE enabled the detection of myocardial involvement in CSS patients with or without clinical symptoms.
Methods- 14 men and 6 women (mean age, 50±14 years) with CSS (mean disease duration, 4.5±3.6 years) were recruited and investigated independently for the presence/absence of cardiac manifestations
- CMRI abnormalities were found in 13/20 patients, including all 9 patients with myocardial manifestations, and 4 of the 11 asymptomatic patients
- DE was centromyocardial in 6 patients, subepicardial in 4, and subendocardial in 3
- Most enhanced lesions were in the anteroseptal or lateral walls
- Patients with myocardial symptoms and DE had higher transmyocardial wall DE scores (mean, 9.4 vs. 3.7, respectively) and lower left ventricular ejection fractions (mean, 42% vs. 59%) than asymptomatic patients with DE
