【目的】分析特发性扩张型心肌病(IDc)在MRI心肌延迟成像(LGE)的影像特征。【方法】41例临床诊断为IDC的患者接受双倍剂量钆造影剂MRI心肌延迟增强扫描,按照17心肌分段评价LGE的分布,按照心内膜下、心肌中层、心外膜和透壁评价LGE的范围。[结果]41例患者中,22例共计205个节段出现对延迟比强化,其分布特征为左室基底部92个节段(44.9%)、左室中部68个节段(33.2%)、心尖水平26个节段(12.7%);室间隔86节段(42.0%)、前壁34个节段(16.6%)、外侧壁30个节段(14.6%)、外下壁30个节段(14.6%);强化范围特征为透壁强化46个节段(22.4%)、心肌中层141个节段(68.8%)、心外膜9个节段(4.4%)、心内膜9个节段(4.4%)。[结论]IDC心肌纤维化对应的LGE分布有一定的特征性,以心底和心室中部受累常见,表现为心肌中层或者透壁强化为主,可以作为IDC诊断的一个主要指标。
[Objective] To analyze the image characteristics of myocardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on MRI of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy(IDC). [Methods] Forty-one patients clinically diagnosed as IDC received MRI myocardial delay contrast scans after administration of double-dose of Gd-chelate contrast agent. LGE distribution was evaluated by 17-myocardial segmentation. The extent of LGE was evaluated by sub-endocardium, middle myocardium, epicardium and transmural myocardium. [ResultslAmong 41 patients, a total of 205 segments of 22 patients showed LGE, and the distribution characteristics were 92 segments at basilar 'part of left ventricle(44.9%), 68 segments at middle of left ventricle(33.2% ), 26 segments at cardiac apex level(12.7%), 86 segments of interventricular septum(41.0%), 34 segments of anterior wall(16.6%), 30 segments of lateral wall(14. 6%) and 30 segments of inferior wall(14. 6%). The enhancement features were 46 segments of transmural myocardium(22.4%), 141 segments of middle myocardium(68.8%), 9 seg- ments of epicardium(4.4%) and 9 segments of endocardium(4.4%). [Conclusion]The distribution of LGE of IDC myocardial fibrosis has certain characteristics. Cardiac base and middle ventricle involvement are common- ly seen. The main manifestations are th.e enhancement of middle or transmural myocardium, which can be used as the major indicator of the diagnosis of IDC.
