Figure Lengend Snippet: Case 1 CMR ( A ) 3D Long axis view showing bileaflet prolapse. The prolapsed distance is measured as superior displacement of leaflet beyond mitral annulus ( orange arrows ) ( B ) Long-axis view, Longitudinal mitral annulus disjunction (MAD; green line ) length is measured from the junction of left atrial (LA) wall–posterior MV leaflet to the top of the left ventricular (LV) inferobasal wall during end systole ( C ). Same image as in ( B ) showing measurement of curling distance by tracing a line between the LA wall–posterior MV leaflet junction and top of LV inferobasal wall, and from this line, a perpendicular line to the lower limit of the mitral annulus during end-systole. ( D ) LV basal hypertrophy. The LV thickness of basal and mid segments of the inferolateral wall is measured at diastole on long axis view. Base-to-mid ratio: 2.7. 3D, three-dimensional; CMR, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; MV, mitral valve.

Figure Lengend Snippet: CMR planning for assessment of mitral valve. ( A ) CMR short axis view at the level of mitral valve showing anatomy of mitral valve. A1, A2, and A3 scallops in the anterior leaflet. P1, P2, and P3 scallops in the posterior leaflet. ( B ) Modified left ventricular outflow tract view. Contiguous stack of cine images perpendicular to the mitral commissures transecting the principal line of coaptation to visualize and assess all the mitral scallops A1–P1, A2–P2, and A3–P3. ( C ) Additional/alternative slices perpendicular to the coaptation plane of the valve leaflets ( yellow and/or purple lines ) ( D ) For circumferential assessment of annular plane, six left ventricular long-axis cine slices are acquired at every 30degrees. The first projection was aligned through the superior right ventricular free wall insertion into the septum, and was defined as 0° in the annular plane, followed by clockwise labeling of the long-axis slices. CMR, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

doi: 10.1136/heartjnl-2015-308660

Figure Lengend Snippet: Late gadolinium enhancement imaging of preventive angioplasty in myocardial infarction (PRAMI) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) substudy participants depicting non-culprit-artery infarcts, with corresponding end-diastolic cine frame. Red crosses indicate culprit-artery-territory infarct; blue crosses indicate non-culprit-artery-territory infarct. Preventive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI): (A, B) patient with lateral ST elevation on ECG underwent PCI to the circumflex and to the mid-left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Late enhancement revealed an additional region of scar in the anteroseptal wall. (C, D) Participant with an inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with PCI to the right coronary artery (RCA) underwent CMR which revealed an additional infarct in the anterolateral region. This patient underwent PCI to all three coronary arteries. (E, F) This patient had PCI to the RCA for an inferior STEMI and PCI to the circumflex artery. Late enhancement revealed a small focus of scarring in the basal anterolateral segment. (G, H) Inferior STEMI with PCI to the culprit RCA and additional PCI to the circumflex. Late enhancement revealed a small infarct in the basal anterolateral segment. Culprit-artery-only PCI: (I, J) participant presented with an anterior STEMI. Late gadolinium enhancement revealed additional inferolateral infarct. (K, L) Anterior STEMI, with late enhancement in the anteroseptal region and an additional area in the anterolateral segment.
