    Abnormal diastolic and systolic septal motion following pericardiectomy demonstrated by cine DENSE MRI
    (Clinics Cardive, 2008) Spottiswoode, Bruce; Russell, James B; Moosa, Sulaiman; Meintjes, Ernesta M; Epstein, Frederick H; Mayosi, Bongani M
    Constrictive pericarditis can lead to paradoxical interventricular septal motion. Displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a method for quantifying myocardial motion and strain. A case of constrictive pericarditis is presented and the diastolic ‘septal bounce’ is clearly evident in both anatomical and DENSE ciné MRI images. (See video link to full-text electronic article). The postoperative systolic septal wall-motion abnormality of cardiac surgery is portrayed with greater precision by DENSE than anatomical ciné MRI images.
