Coronary microvascular ischemia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - a pixel-wise quantitative cardiovascular magnetic resonance perfusion study
Tevfik F Ismail,Li-Yueh Hsu,Anders M. Greve,Carla Goncalves,Andrew Jabbour,Ankur Gulati,Benjamin Hewins,Niraj Mistry,Ricardo Wage,Michael Roughton,Pedro F. Ferreira,Peter D. Gatehouse,David N. Firmin,Rory O'Hanlon,Dudley J. Pennell,Sanjay K Prasad,Andrew E. Arai +16 more
TL;DR: Pixel-wise quantitative CMR perfusion imaging identifies a subgroup of patients with HCM that have localised severe microvascular dysfunction which may give rise to myocardial ischemia.
Role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a T2-mapping CMR study
Tevfik F Ismail,Niraj Mistry,Andrew Jabbour,Benjamin Hewins,Taigang He,Rick Wage,Ankur Gulati,Amy Mallorie,Dudley J. Pennell,Sanjay K Prasad +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a single-shot steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequence to produce three T2-weighted images with different T2 preparation times (0 ms, 24 ms, 55 ms).
Alpha, Beta, Delta, Omicron, and SARS-CoV-2 Breakthrough Cases: Defining Immunological Mechanisms for Vaccine Waning and Vaccine-Variant Mismatch
Benjamin Hewins,Motiur Rahman,Jesus F. Bermejo-Martin,Alyson A. Kelvin,Christopher D. Richardson,Salvatore Rubino,Anuj Kumar,Pacifique Ndishimye,Ali Toloue Ostadgavahi,Abdullah Mahmud-Al-Rafat,David J. Kelvin +10 more
TL;DR: Emerging data indicates decreasing circulating antibody levels as well as decreases in other immune correlates in vaccinated individuals, which must be interpreted with caution taking into consideration vaccine waning and the degree of vaccine variant-mismatch resulting in adaptive immune evasion by novel emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.
The relationship between interstitial fibrosis and contractile function in HCM: a combined T1-mapping and CSPAMM tagging study
Tevfik F Ismail,Benjamin Hewins,Andrew Jabbour,Niraj Mistry,Pedro F. Ferreira,Ankur Gulati,Rick Wage,Patrick Clarysse,Pierre Croisille,Dudley J. Pennell,Sanjay K Prasad +10 more
TL;DR: The partition coefficient for gadolinium was significantly raised in patients with HCM relative to controls, however, no association was found between this and local contractile function, implying that interstitial fibrosis alone may not account for the perturbations in myocardial mechanics seen in patientswith HCM and that alternative mechanisms should be explored.
