Keegan J, Gatehouse PD, Haldar S, et al., 2015, Dynamic Inversion Time for Improved 3D Late Gadolinium Enhancement Imaging in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation, Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Vol: 73, Pages: 646-654, ISSN: 1522-2594
Purpose—High resolution 3D late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging is performed withsingle R-wave gating to minimise lengthy acquisition durations. In patients with atrial fibrillation(AF), heart rate variability results in variable magnetisation recovery between sequence repeatsand image quality is often poor. In this study, we implemented and tested a dynamic inversiontime scheme designed to reduce sequence sensitivity to heart rate variations.Methods—An inversion-prepared 3D segmented gradient echo sequence was modified so thatthe inversion time (TI) varied automatically from beat-to-beat (dynamic-TI) based on the timesince the last sequence repeat. 3D LGE acquisitions were performed in 17 patients prior to RFablation of persistent AF both with and without dynamic-TI. Qualitative image quality scores,blood signal-to-ghosting ratios (SGRs) and blood-myocardium contrast-to-ghosting ratios (CGRs)were compared.Results—Image quality scores were higher with dynamic-TI than without (2.2 +/− 0.9 versus 1.8+/− 1.1, p = 0.008) as were blood-myocardium CGRs (13.8 +/− 7.6 versus 8.3 +/− 6.1, p = 0.003)and blood SGRs (19.6 +/− 8.5 versus 13.1 +/− 8.0, p = 0.003).Conclusions—The dynamic-TI algorithm improves image quality of 3D LGE imaging in thisdifficult patient population by reducing the sequence sensitivity to RR interval variations.
Pennell DJ, Baksi AJ, Kilner PJ, et al., 2014, Review of Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 2013, Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, Vol: 16, ISSN: 1532-429X
There were 109 articles published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (JCMR) in 2013, which is a21% increase on the 90 articles published in 2012. The quality of the submissions continues to increase. The editorsare delighted to report that the 2012 JCMR Impact Factor (which is published in June 2013) has risen to 5.11, upfrom 4.44 for 2011 (as published in June 2012), a 15% increase and taking us through the 5 threshold for the firsttime. The 2012 impact factor means that the JCMR papers that were published in 2010 and 2011 were cited onaverage 5.11 times in 2012. The impact factor undergoes natural variation according to citation rates of papers inthe 2 years following publication, and is significantly influenced by highly cited papers such as official reports.However, the progress of the journal's impact over the last 5 years has been impressive. Our acceptance rate is<25% and has been falling because the number of articles being submitted has been increasing. In accordancewith Open-Access publishing, the JCMR articles go on-line as they are accepted with no collating of the articlesinto sections or special thematic issues. For this reason, the Editors have felt that it is useful once per calendaryear to summarize the papers for the readership into broad areas of interest or theme, so that areas of interestcan be reviewed in a single article in relation to each other and other recent JCMR articles. The papers arepresented in broad themes and set in context with related literature and previously published JCMR papers toguide continuity of thought in the journal. We hope that you find the open-access system increases widerreading and citation of your papers, and that you will continue to send your quality manuscripts to JCMR forpublication.

Heng EL, Babu-Narayan SV, 2014, Repaired tetralogy of fallot, Cardiac CT and MR for Adult Congenital Heart Disease, Pages: 199-224, ISBN: 9781461488743
The anatomy of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), together with the pathophysiological consequences, was first described by Etienne-Louis Fallot in 1888. The tetrad of overriding aorta, right ventricular (RV) outflow tract obstruction, ventricular septal defect (VSD) and consequent RV hypertrophy is all due to antero-cephalad deviation of the outlet septum during fetal development. TOF is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD), accounting for 10 % of CHD patients and occurring in 1 in 3,600 births (Shinebourne et al., Heart 92:1353-1359, 2006). It carries a recurrence risk of 3 % in siblings. There is genetic microdeletion in 22q11 in 15-25 % of TOF patients in whom TOF is part of DiGeorge syndrome. There is a spectrum of morphology, despite the four features that comprise 'tetralogy', and the severity of the RV outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction is the major determinant of first clinical presentation. Surgical palliation was achieved using the Blalock-Taussig shunt (subclavian artery to ipsilateral pulmonary artery connection) in 1944, a landmark event as these patients underwent the first cardiac surgery. Subsequently, surgical repair was described in the 1950s with the advent of cardiopulmonary bypass. Primary surgical repair involves patch closure of the VSD and intervention to the RVOT to relieve obstruction. RV muscle bundles are resected. Depending on the size of the outflow tract, pulmonary valve and pulmonary arteries; an RVOT patch, transannular patch and/or pulmonary artery (PA) patch may be required for RVOT reconstruction. In the variants with anomalous coronary arteries or in pulmonary atresia-type Fallot, an RV to PA conduit may be used.

The occurrence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is not uncommon and represents an important complication. This chapter sets out the scale of the problem before describing where cross-sectional imaging is used in diagnosis. Prognostication and assessment of therapeutic effect using these techniques is then explored before examining Eisenmenger's syndrome in detail. A discussion on related abnormalities of the pulmonary arteries is included.

Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest. Novel image integration and ablation tools have made the catheter ablation in this population both feasible and successful. We review a structured approach to catheter ablation of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias in various patient cohorts including the most common congenital heart defects.
