Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) is a well-established noninvasive imaging modality in clinical cardiology. Its ability to provide tissue characterization make it well suited for the study of patients with cardiac diseases. We describe a multi-modality imaging evaluation of a 45-year-old man who experienced a near drowning event during swimming. We underline the unique capability of tissue characterization provided by cMRI, which allowed detection of subtle, clinically unrecognizable myocardial damage for understanding the causes of sudden cardiac arrest and also showed the small damages caused by cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
心脏磁共振成像(cMRI)是临床心脏病学中一种成熟的非侵入性成像方式。其提供组织特征的能力使其非常适合用于研究心脏病患者。我们描述了对一名45岁男性的多模态成像评估,该男性在游泳时发生了近乎溺水事件。我们强调了cMRI提供的独特组织特征能力,它能够检测到细微的、临床上无法识别的心肌损伤,以了解心脏骤停的原因,还显示了心肺复苏造成的微小损伤。
