THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING 2024:10.1007/s10554-024-03163-2. [PMID: 38884697 DOI: 10.1007/s10554-024-03163-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial strain can analyze early myocardial dysfunction after myocardial infarction (MI). However, the correlation between left ventricular (LV) strain (including regional and global strain) obtained by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and left ventricular thrombus (LVT) after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is unclear. METHODS The retrospective clinical observation study included patients with LVT (n = 20) and non-LVT (n = 195) who underwent CMR within two weeks after STEMI. CMR images were analyzed using CVI 42 (Circle Cardiovascular Imaging, Canada) to obtain LV strain values. Logistic regression analysis identified risk factors for LVT among baseline characteristics, CMR ventricular strain, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Considering potential correlations between strains, the ability of LV strain to identify LVT was evaluated using 9 distinct models. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated with GraphPad Prism, and the area under the curve (AUC) of LVEF, apical longitudinal strain (LS), and circumferential strain (CS) was calculated to determine their capacity to distinguish LVT. RESULTS Among 215 patients, 9.3% developed LVT, with a 14.5% incidence in those with anterior MI. Univariate regression indicated associations of LAD infarct-related artery, lower NT-proBNP, lower LVEF, and reduced global, midventricular, and apical strain with LVT. Further multivariable regression analysis showed that apical LS, LVEF and NT-proBNP were still independently related to LVT (Apical LS: OR = 1.14, 95%CI (1.01, 1.30), P = 0.042; LVEF: OR = 0.91, 95%CI (0.85, 0.97), P = 0.005; NT-proBNP: OR = 2.35, 95%CI (1.04, 5.31) ). CONCLUSION Reduced apical LS on CMR is independently associated with LVT after STEMI.

Sci Rep 2024; 14:1094. [PMID: 38212323 PMCID: PMC10784294 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-50835-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for the diagnostic classification and risk stratification in most patients with cardiac disorders. The aim of the present study was to investigate the ability of Strain-encoded MR (SENC) for the prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed according to the PRISMA Guidelines, including patients with or without cardiovascular disease and asymptomatic individuals. Myocardial strain by HARP were used as pulse sequences in 1.5 T scanners. Published literature in MEDLINE (PubMed) and Cochrane's databases were explored before February 2023 for studies assessing the clinical utility of myocardial strain by Harmonic Phase Magnetic Resonance Imaging (HARP), Strain-encoded MR (SENC) or fast-SENC. In total, 8 clinical trials (4 studies conducted in asymptomatic individuals and 4 in patients with suspected or known cardiac disease) were included in this systematic review, while 3 studies were used for our meta-analysis, based on individual patient level data. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard models were used, testing the ability of myocardial strain by HARP and SENC/fast-SENC for the prediction of MACE. Strain enabled risk stratification in asymptomatic individuals, predicting MACE and the development of incident heart failure. Of 1332 patients who underwent clinically indicated CMR, including SENC or fast-SENC acquisitions, 19 patients died, 28 experienced non-fatal infarctions, 52 underwent coronary revascularization and 86 were hospitalized due to heart failure during median 22.4 (17.2-28.5) months of follow-up. SENC/fast-SENC, predicted both all-cause mortality and MACE with high accuracy (HR = 3.0, 95% CI = 1.2-7.6, p = 0.02 and HR = 4.1, 95% CI = 3.0-5.5, respectively, p < 0.001). Using hierarchical Cox-proportional hazard regression models, SENC/fast-SENC exhibited incremental value to clinical data and conventional CMR parameters. Reduced myocardial strain predicts of all-cause mortality and cardiac outcomes in symptomatic patients with a wide range of ischemic or non-ischemic cardiac diseases, whereas in asymptomatic individuals, reduced strain was a precursor of incident heart failure.

Right Ventricular Function in Takayasu's Arteritis Patients With Pulmonary Artery Involvement Using MRI Feature Tracking. J Magn Reson Imaging 2023. [PMID: 38038356 DOI: 10.1002/jmri.29143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary artery involvement (PAI) is not rare in Takayasu arteritis (TA). Persistently elevated pulmonary arterial pressure in TA-PAI patients leads to pulmonary hypertension (PH), and eventually cardiac death. Thus, the early detection of right ventricular dysfunction before the onset of PH is important. PURPOSE To explore the potential of right ventricular global peak longitudinal and circumferential strain (RVGLS and RVGCS, respectively) in detecting right ventricular myocardial damage in TA-PAI patients without PH. STUDY TYPE Retrospective. POPULATION One hundred and six TA patients (39.6 ± 13.9 years), of whom 52 were non-PAI and 54 were PAI patients (36 without PH and 18 with PH), along with 58 sex- and age-matched healthy volunteers (HVs) (36.7 ± 13.2 years). The involved arteries were validated by aorta magnetic resonance (MR) angiography and pulmonary artery computed tomography angiography. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 3 T/Cine imaging sequence with a steady-state free precession readout. ASSESSMENT Cardiac MRI-derived parameters measured by two radiologists independently were compared among HVs, and TA patients with and without PAI. In addition, these indices were further compared among HVs, and TA-PAI patients with and without PH. STATISTICAL TESTS Student's t test, one-way ANOVA analysis, Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis, and reproducibility analysis. A P-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Although the TA-PAI patients without PH had a similar RV ejection fraction (RVEF) with HV (P = 0.348), RVGLS (non-PH 20.6 ± 3.7% vs. HV 24.0 ± 3.1%) was significantly lower and RVGCS (non-PH 14.8 ± 3.9% vs. HV 13.0 ± 2.7%) higher. The TA-PAI patients with PH had significantly poorer RVGLS (PH 13.5 ± 3.8% vs. non-PH 20.6 ± 3.7%) and RVGCS (PH 10.9 ± 3.2% vs. non-PH 14.8 ± 3.9%) than those without PH. DATA CONCLUSION Right ventricular dysfunction was detected in the TA-PAI patients without PH. MR-feature tracking may be an effective method for detecting early cardiac damage in the TA-PAI patients without PH. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 3.

Abstract
Aim This study was aimed at performing a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the prognostic role of left ventricular (LV) myocardial strain variables as determined by magnetic-resonance imaging in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.Material and methods A search was performed in PubMed (MEDLINE), Google Scholar, and EMBASE databases for studies on the prognostic role of LV myocardial strain based on MR feature-tracking in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Uncorrected odds ratio (OR) values reported by the studies where similar evaluation criteria of myocardial strain were available, were combined for a meta-analysis.Results Nine studies were selected from 351 publications for this systematic review and meta-analysis. The analysis included a totality of 2139 patients (mean age, 52.3 years; mean follow-up duration, 42.5 months). The meta-analysis showed that the worsening of the LV global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), and global radial strain (GRS) was associated with increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE): OR, 1.13 per each % of GLS; 95 % CI: 1.050–1.225; p=0.001; OR, 1.16 per each % of GCS; 95 % CI: 1.107–1.213; p<0.0001; OR, 0.95 per each % of GRS; 95 % CI: 0.92–0.97; p<0.0001.Conclusion The LV GLS, GCS, and GRS variables by MR feature-tracking data are powerful predictors for the development of MACE. Evaluation of myocardial strain can be used as an effective instrument for risk stratification in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.

Correlation of Myocardial Strain and Late Gadolinium Enhancement by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance After a First Anterior ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:705487. [PMID: 34277744 PMCID: PMC8282997 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.705487] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the correlation of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) feature-tracking with conventional CMR parameters in patients with a first anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: This sub-analysis of OCTAMI (Optical Coherence Tomography Examination in Acute Myocardial Infarction) registry included 129 patients who finished a CMR examination 1 month after a first anterior STEMI. Cine images were applied to calculate both global and segmental left ventricular peak strain parameters. The patients were divided into two groups by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and compared with 42 healthy controls. Segmental late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was graded according to LGE transmurality as follows: (1) >0 to ≤ 25%; (2) >25 to ≤ 50%; (3) >50 to ≤ 75%; (4) >75%. Left ventricle was divided into infarcted, adjacent, and remote regions to assess regional function. Results: Compared with controls, global radial (28.39 ± 5.08% vs. 38.54 ± 9.27%, p < 0.05), circumferential (−16.91 ± 2.11% vs. −20.77 ± 2.78%, p < 0.05), and longitudinal (−13.06 ± 2.15 vs. −15.52 ± 2.69, p < 0.05) strains were impaired in STEMI patients with normal LVEF (≥55%). Strain parameters were strongly associated with LGE (radial: r = 0.65; circumferential: r = 0.69; longitudinal: r = 0.61; all p < 0.05). A significant and stepwise impairment of global strains was observed in groups divided by LGE tertiles. Furthermore, segmental strain was different in various degrees of LGE transmurality especially for radial and circumferential strain. Strains of adjacent region were better than infarcted region in radial and circumferential directions and worse than remote region in all three directions. Conclusion: Global and regional strain could stratify different extent and transmurality of LGE, respectively. Although without LGE, adjacent region had impaired strains comparing with remote region.
