Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) is limited by device-related artifacts (DRA). The use of wideband (WB) LGE protocols improves LGE images, but their efficacy with different ICD types is not well known. To assess the effects of WB LGE imaging on DRA in different non-MR conditional ICD subtypes. Retrospective. A total of 113 patients undergoing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with three ICD subtypes transvenous (TV-ICD, N = 48), cardiac-resynchronization therapy device (CRT-D, N = 48), and subcutaneous (S-ICD, N = 17). 5 T scanner, standard LGE, and WB LGE imaging with a phase-sensitive inversion recovery segmented gradient echo sequence. DRA burden was defined as the number of artifact-positive short-axis LGE slices as percentage of the total number of short-axis slices covering the left ventricle from based to apex, and was determined for WB and standard LGE studies for each patient. Additionally, artifact area on each slicrved with TV-ICD and CRT-D devices. Further developments are needed to better resolve S-ICD artifacts. 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE 5. 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE 5.We hypothesized that rapamycin (Rapa), acarbose (ACA), which both increase mouse lifespan, and 17α-estradiol, which increases lifespan in males (17aE2) all share common intracellular signaling pathways with long-lived Snell dwarf, PAPPA-KO, and Ghr-/- mice. The long-lived mutant mice exhibit reduction in mTORC1 activity, declines in cap-dependent mRNA translation, and increases in cap-independent translation (CIT). Here, we report that Rapa and ACA prevent age-related declines in CIT target proteins in both sexes, while 17aE2 has the same effect only in males, suggesting increases in CIT. mTORC1 activity showed the r
