Prognostic Value of Integrated Assessment of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance-Derived Global Coronary Flow Reserve and Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing-Derived Peak Oxygen Consumption in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction. Circ Rep 2024; 6:255-262.

Abstract
Background: This study investigated the prognostic value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived global coronary flow reserve (G-CFR) in addition to cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) variables in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and Results: We investigated 127 patients with AMI who underwent primary or urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and post-intervention CMR and CPET. The incidence of major cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), defined as all-cause death, recurrent non-fatal myocardial infarction, re-hospitalization due to congestive heart failure, and stroke, was evaluated (median follow-up, 2.8 years). Patients with MACCE (n=14) had lower ejection fraction (EF) (50 [43-59] vs. 58 [51-63]%; P=0.014), lower G-CFR (1.74 [1.19-2.20] vs. 2.40 [1.61-3.66]; P=0.008), and lower peak oxygen consumption (V̇O2) (15.16±2.64 vs. 17.19±3.70 mL/kg/min; P=0.049) than patients without MACCE. G-CFR<2.33 and peak V̇O2 <15.65 mL/kg/min (cut-off values derived from receiver operating characteristic curve analyses) were significantly associated with the incidence of MACCE (log-rank test, P=0.01). The combination of low G-CFR and low peak V̇O2 improved risk discrimination for MACCE when added to the reference clinical model including age, male sex, post-PCI peak creatine kinase, EF, and left anterior descending artery culprit lesion. Conclusions: G-CFR and peak V̇O2 showed incremental prognostic information compared with the reference model using historically important clinical risk factors, indicating that this approach may help identify high-risk patients who suffer subsequent adverse events.

Abstract
In this paper, the feasibility of myocardial recovery is analyzed through a literature review. First, the phenomena of remodeling and reverse remodeling are analyzed, approached through the physics of elastic bodies, and the terms myocardial depression and myocardial recovery are defined. Continuing, potential biochemical, molecular, and imaging markers of myocardial recovery are reviewed. Then, the work focuses on therapeutic techniques that can facilitate the reverse remodeling of the myocardium. Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) systems are one of the main ways to promote cardiac recovery. The changes that take place in cardiac hypertrophy, extracellular matrix, cell populations and their structural elements, β-receptors, energetics, and several biological processes, are reviewed. The attempt to wean the patients who experienced cardiac recovery from cardiac assist device systems is also discussed. The characteristics of the patients who will benefit from LVAD are presented and the heterogeneity of the studies performed in terms of patient populations included, diagnostic tests performed, and their results are addressed. The experience with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) as another way to promote reverse remodeling is also reviewed. Myocardial recovery is a phenomenon that presents with a continuous spectrum of phenotypes. There is a need for algorithms to screen suitable patients who may benefit and identify specific ways to enhance this phenomenon in order to help combat the heart failure epidemic.

Abstract
The coronary microcirculation plays a key role in modulating blood supply to the myocardium. Several factors like myocardial oxygen demands, endothelial and neurogenic conditions determine its function. Although there is available evidence supporting microvascular dysfunction as an important cause of myocardial ischaemia, with both prognostic and symptomatic implications, its diagnosis and management in clinical practice is still relegated to a second plane. Both diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are hampered by the broadness of the concept of microvascular dysfunction, which fails addressing the plurality of mechanisms leading to dysfunction. Normal microcirculatory function requires both structural integrity of the microcirculatory vascular network and preserved signalling pathways ensuring adequate and brisk arteriolar resistance shifts in response to myocardial oxygen demands. Pathological mechanisms affecting these requirements include structural remodelling of microvessels, intraluminal plugging, extravascular compression or vasomotor dysregulation. Importantly, not every diagnostic technique provides evidence on which of these pathophysiological mechanisms is present or predominates in the microcirculation. In this paper we discuss the mechanisms of coronary microvascular dysfunction and the intracoronary tools currently available to detect it, as well as the potential role of each one to unmask the main underlying mechanism.

Abstract
Although coronary microcirculatory dysfunction occurs in numerous cardiac conditions and influences prognosis, it has been largely ignored in clinical practice due to the lack of adequate methods for its assessment. Microcirculatory dysfuntion may result from a variety of causes, including structural remodelling (arterioles or capillaries), dysregulation (paradoxical arteriolar vasoconstriction), hypersensitivity to vasoactive factors or adrenergic drive, and extravascular compression of collapsable elements. Thus, the selection of a method to interrogate coronary microcirculation should be based on the suspected cause of dysfunction. This article reviews such assessment tools and their prognostic information.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Heart failure (HF) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is of poor prognosis and is often associated with patient's characteristics and success of reperfusion strategies. However, few data is available regarding the high-risk subgroup of patients with anterior AMI treated successfully by primary angioplasty. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence, associated factors, and the future of HF occurring during hospitalisation, in the setting of anterior AMI treated successfully by primary angioplasty. METHODS Eighty-five consecutive patients with anterior AMI treated successfully by primary angioplasty (final angiographic TIMI flow grade=3, without residual stenosis) were included. Clinical, biochemical, angiographic, and echocardiographic data were prospectively collected and compared between patients with (Killip 2 and 3) and without HF during hospitalisation. RESULTS Fifteen patients had HF (18%) during hospitalisation and 70 did not. By comparison to patients without HF, patients with HF were more frequently diabetics, had troponin peak and CPK, leucocytes count, and fasting glucose higher, LVEF and wall motion score index in the left anterior descending territory (WMSi-lad) poorer, and a lower non-invasive coronary flow reserve (CFR) in the LAD 24hours after angioplasty (all, P<0.05). In multivariate analysis, fasting glucose, leucocytes count after angioplasty, CFR and WMSi-lad were independently associated with HF, even after adjusting with angiographic variables (all, P<0.05). At 6months, patients with HF had less recovery of LV function and higher frequency of adverse LV remodelling (58% versus 20%, P<0.01) by comparison to patients without HF. CONCLUSION In conclusion, HF is not uncommon even after successful primary angioplasty for anterior AMI (nearly one patient out of 5), is associated with hyperglycaemia and inflammation, a poor microvascular reperfusion, and left ventricular systolic function, and is more frequently complicated by adverse LV remodelling and lack of LV recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After acute myocardial infarction (MI) coronary microvascular impairment and reduced exercise capacity are both determinant of prognosis. OBJECTIVE We tested whether non-invasive coronary flow reserve (CFR) performed after MI predicts post-MI exercise capacity (EC). METHODS Fifty consecutive patients (pts) (mean age 56.5±11years, 30% women) with a first reperfused ST-elevation anterior MI, and sustained TIMI 3 flow after mechanical reperfusion, underwent prospectively non-invasive CFR in the distal part of the left anterior descending artery (LAD), using intravenous adenosine infusion (0.14mg/kg per minute, within 2min), within 24h after successful primary coronary angioplasty (CFR 1), and 4±1.6months later after a period of convalescence and a cardiac rehabilitation program (CFR 2). CFR was defined as peak hyperaemic LAD flow velocity divided by baseline flow velocity. All pts also underwent semi-supine exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) the same day of CFR 2. ESE was performed at an initial workload of 25-30watts with a 20watts increase at 2-minute intervals. Beta-blockers were withheld 24h before ESE. RESULTS The mean CFR 2 increased significantly when compared to CFR 1 (2.9±0.65 versus 1.9±0.4, P<0.01). During ESE, percentage of maximal predict heart rate achieved was 82±12%, maximal workload 95±30watts, exercise duration 486±155s, the ratio of double product 3.1±0.8, and EC 5.8±1.1 metabolic equivalents. No ischemia was induced during ESE in all pts, and the degree of mitral regurgitation did not differ significantly between rest and exercise. CFR 2 was significantly correlated to all indices related to EC (all, P<0.01), whereas CFR 1 was correlated to LV systolic function at follow-up (P<0.05) but not to EC. In multivariate analysis including age, sex, and body mass index, CFR 2 remained an independent predictor of EC (P<0.01). CONCLUSION Contrarily to acute CFR, CFR at follow-up is an independent predictor of EC after reperfused anterior MI. This suggests that the improvement of the coronary microcirculation is closely linked to the physical aptitude after MI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients in chronic phase of myocardial infarction (MI) have decreased coronary flow reserve (CFR) in infarct related artery (IRA) that is proportional to the extent of microvascular/myocardial damage. We proposed a novel model for the assessment of microvascular damage and infarct size using Doppler echocardiography evaluation of CFRs of the IRA (LAD) and reference artery (RCA). METHODS Our study included 34 consecutive patients (28 men, mean age 50 ± 11 years) with first anterior STEMI and single vessel disease successfully treated with primary PCI. All patients underwent SPECT MPI for the assessment of infarct size (expressed as a percentage of myocardium with fixed perfusion abnormalities) and CFR evaluation of LAD and RCA. CFR derived percentage of microvascular damage (CFR PMD) was calculated as: CFR PMD=(CFR RCA-CFR LAD)/(CFR RCA-1)×100 (%). RESULTS CFR PMD correlated significantly with all parameters evaluating the severity of myocardial damage including: peak CK activity (r=0.632, p<0.001), WMSI (r=0.857, p<0.001), ejection fraction (r=-0.820, p<0.001), left ventricular end diastolic (r=0.757, p<0.001) and end systolic volume (r=0.794, p<0.001). Most importantly, CFR PMD (22 ± 17%) correlated significantly with infarct size by SPECT MPI (21 ± 17%) (r=0.874, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS CFR PMD derived from the proposed model was significantly related to echocardiographic and enzymatic parameters of infarct size, as well as to myocardial damage assessed by SPECT MPI in patients with successfully reperfused first anterior STEMI.

Abstract
A three-dimensional tissue construct was created using adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells and evaluated as a microvascular protection treatment in a myocardial infarction (MI) model. This study evaluated coronary blood flow (BF) and global left ventricular function after MI with and without the SVF construct. Fischer-344 rats were separated into four groups: sham operation (sham), MI, MI Vicryl patch (no cells), and MI SVF construct (MI SVF). SVF cells were labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP). Immediately postinfarct, constructs were implanted onto the epicardium at the site of ischemia. Four weeks postsurgery, the coronary BF reserve was significantly decreased by 67% in the MI group and 75% in the MI Vicryl group compared with the sham group. The coronary BF reserve of the sham and MI SVF groups in the area at risk was not significantly different (sham group: 83 ± 22% and MI SVF group: 57 ± 22%). Griffonia simplicifolia I and GFP-positive SVF immunostaining revealed engrafted SVF cells around microvessels in the infarct region 4 wk postimplant. Overall heart function, specifically ejection fraction, was significantly greater in MI SVF hearts compared with MI and MI Vicryl hearts (MI SVF: 66 ± 4%, MI: 37 ± 8%, and MI Vicryl: 29 ± 6%). In conclusion, adipose-derived SVF cells can be used to construct a novel therapeutic modality for treating microvascular instability and ischemia through implantation on the epicardial surface of the heart. The SVF construct implanted immediately after MI not only maintains heart function but also sustains microvascular perfusion and function in the infarct area by sustaining the coronary BF reserve.

METHODS Leukocyte count at admission and within 24h after angioplasty, and differential count at admission were obtained in 72 consecutive patients with a first AMI (mean age 56±12 years) successfully treated by primary angioplasty. Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography was performed within 24h after angioplasty and 3 months later to assess the CFR (using intravenous adenosine), in the left anterior descending artery (LAD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the wall motion score index using the nine segments assigned to the LAD territory (WMSi-lad). In hospital events were defined as death, heart failure (Killip≥2) and reinfarction. RESULTS Leukocyte count was higher before and after angioplasty in patients with impaired acute CFR (<1.7), when compared to patients without such impairment (P≤0.01), and a significant correlation was found between CFR and leukocyte, neutrophil and monocyte count (P<0.05). Leukocyte (before and after angioplasty), and neutrophil count, were lower in patients with recovery of global and regional LV function (P<0.05). A significant correlation was found between leukocyte count before and after angioplasty, and, initial and follow-up LVEF, and WMSi-lad (all, P≤0.01). Leukocyte (before and after angioplasty) and monocyte count were higher in patients with in-hospital events (n=14), by comparison to patients without events (all, P<0.01). In multivariate analysis, leukocyte count after angioplasty was an independent predictor of CFR, and in-hospital events, and neutrophil count of WMSi-lad at follow-up (all, P<0.05). CONCLUSION In the first AMI treated successfully by primary angioplasty, leukocyte count is inversely correlated to CFR, and global and regional LV systolic function at follow-up. These links are higher after than before reperfusion. And, leukocyte count after angioplasty is an independent predictor of in-hospital adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelin-1 may be involved in the development of diabetic microangiopathy. We studied the effect of endothelin-1 blockade on myocardial microcirculation during coronary stenting. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with type 2 diabetes and stable coronary artery disease undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were randomized to bolus dose of 500 mg bosentan (n = 4), a dual endothelin receptor blocker, or intracoronary administration of 0.03 mmol BQ123 (n = 6), a selective endothelin A-receptor blocker, or placebo (n = 5), respectively. Coronary flow reserve (CFR) was measured immediately post-PCI. CFR was also measured in five nondiabetic controls post-coronary stenting. RESULTS Patients in the placebo group had (P < 0.05) lower values of CFR (2.3 +/- 1.2) as compared to those who received endothelin blockade (n = 10; 3.1 +/- 0.7) and nondiabetic controls (4.9 +/- 2.3). Patients who received BQ123 showed significantly higher CFR (3.3 +/- 0.5; P < 0.05) as compared to those on placebo. Nondiabetic patients had significantly higher CFR as compared to patients with diabetes (4.9 +/- 2.3 and 2.8 +/- 1.0, respectively; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Coronary microvascular dysfunction is present during coronary stenting in patients with type 2 diabetes and may be reversed by selective endothelin A-receptor blockade. Targeting endothelin system may be of importance in protecting the myocardium against ischemic events during elective PCI in type 2 diabetic patients.
