Assessment of left ventricular apical rotation in obese by Cardiovascular MR tagging Gabriella M Vincenti1*, Jean-Noel Hyacinthe2, Joost PA Kuijer3, Francois Mach1, Osman Ratib4, Thomas Schindler1, Jean-Paul Vallée2 From 2011 SCMR/Euro CMR Joint Scientific Sessions Nice, France. 3-6 February 2011 Background Obesity is associated with cardiac remodelling with increased left ventricular mass and end-diastolic volume. CMR is a unique technique to evaluate cardiac morphology and function in obese individuals. Among CMR techniques, myocardial tagging allows to quantify myocardial strain and left ventricular rotation along the RR cycle (1). The aim of this preliminary study was to explore the feasibility of left ventricular apical rotation quantification by CMR tagging in obese individuals and exploring possible alteration of myocardial motion pattern. Methods 8 healthy controls (18
