Marfan syndrome is a multi-systemic connective disorder
and an inherent mutation affecting fibrillin-1 gene. In
this study, we used dark-blood tissue phase mapping with
PC-MRI to quantify the left ventricular myocardial
function and the myocardial dyssynchrony index. The
indices were compared with age-matched normal controls
so that to show the myocardial abnormality of MFS. MFS
demonstrated dyssynchronized TTPr or TTPz either in
systole or in diastole. In conclusion, the investigated
LV myocardial function and the quantified myocardial DI
can reflect the abnormal dyssynchronized conditions for
MFS and provide helpful information to evaluate
myocardial function before deteriorated cardiac function
was shown.
