Are patterns of late gadolinium enhancement associated with ventricular stiffness in patients with advanced non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy?
Patients with midwall LGE had a higher ventricular stiffness index and more impaired ventriculoarterial coupling when compared with other non-ischaemic DCM patients.
Vertical gaze palsies are known to be produced by lesions of the rostral interstitial medial longitudinal fasciculus. This MRI study reveals thalamic infarctions without associated midbrain infarctions in three patients with vertical gaze palsies. This may be explained by interruption of supranuclear inputs.
