Abstract
Background Right atrial (RA) function strain is increasingly acknowledged as an important predictor of adverse events in patients with diverse cardiovascular conditions. However, the prognostic value of RA strain in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. Purpose To evaluate the prognostic value of RA strain derived from cardiac MRI (CMR) feature tracking (FT) in patients with DCM. Materials and Methods This multicenter, retrospective study included consecutive adult patients with DCM who underwent CMR between June 2010 and May 2022. RA strain parameters were obtained using CMR FT. The primary end points were sudden or cardiac death or heart transplant. Cox regression analysis was used to determine the association of variables with outcomes. Incremental prognostic value was evaluated using C indexes and likelihood ratio tests. Results A total of 526 patients with DCM (mean age, 51 years ± 15 [SD]; 381 male) were included. During a median follow-up of 41 months, 79 patients with DCM reached the primary end points. At univariable analysis, RA conduit strain was associated with the primary end points (hazard ratio [HR], 0.82 [95% CI: 0.76, 0.87]; P < .001). In multivariable Cox analysis, RA conduit strain was an independent predictor for the primary end points (HR, 0.83 [95% CI: 0.77, 0.90]; P < .001). A model combining RA conduit strain with other clinical and conventional imaging risk factors (C statistic, 0.80; likelihood ratio, 92.54) showed improved discrimination and calibration for the primary end points compared with models with clinical variables (C statistic, 0.71; likelihood ratio, 37.12; both P < .001) or clinical and imaging variables (C statistic, 0.75; likelihood ratio, 64.69; both P < .001). Conclusion CMR FT-derived RA conduit strain was an independent predictor of adverse outcomes among patients with DCM, providing incremental prognostic value when combined in a model with clinical and conventional CMR risk factors.

Current Insights and Novel Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance-Based Techniques in the Prognosis of Non-Ischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy. J Clin Med 2024; 13:1017. [PMID: 38398330 PMCID: PMC10889760 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13041017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has an important emerging role in the evaluation and management of patients with cardiomyopathies, especially in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). It allows a non-invasive characterization of myocardial tissue, thus assisting early diagnosis and precise phenotyping of the different cardiomyopathies, which is an essential step for early and individualized treatment of patients. Using imaging techniques such as late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), standard and advanced quantification as well as quantitative mapping parameters, CMR-based tissue characterization is useful in the differential diagnosis of DCM and risk stratification. The purpose of this article is to review the utility of CMR in the diagnosis and management of idiopathic DCM, as well as risk prediction and prognosis based on standard and emerging CMR contrast and non-contrast techniques. This is consistent with current evidence and guidance moving beyond traditional prognostic markers such as ejection fraction.

Abstract
AIMS Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is frequently found in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM); there is little information about its frequency and distribution pattern according to the underlying genetic substrate. We sought to describe LGE patterns according to genotypes and to analyse the risk of major ventricular arrhythmias (MVA) according to patterns. METHODS AND RESULTS Cardiac magnetic resonance findings and LGE distribution according to genetics were performed in a cohort of 600 DCM patients followed at 20 Spanish centres. After exclusion of individuals with multiple causative gene variants or with variants in infrequent DCM-causing genes, 577 patients (34% females, mean age 53.5 years, left ventricular ejection fraction 36.9 ± 13.9%) conformed to the final cohort. A causative genetic variant was identified in 219 (38%) patients, and 147 (25.5%) had LGE. Significant differences were found comparing LGE patterns between genes (P < 0.001). LGE was absent or rare in patients with variants in TNNT2, RBM20, and MYH7 (0, 5, and 20%, respectively). Patients with variants in DMD, DSP, and FLNC showed a predominance of LGE subepicardial patterns (50, 41, and 18%, respectively), whereas patients with variants in TTN, BAG3, LMNA, and MYBPC3 showed unspecific LGE patterns. The genetic yield differed according to LGE patterns. Patients with subepicardial, lineal midwall, transmural, and right ventricular insertion points or with combinations of LGE patterns showed an increased risk of MVA compared with patients without LGE. CONCLUSION LGE patterns in DCM have a specific distribution according to the affected gene. Certain LGE patterns are associated with an increased risk of MVA and with an increased yield of genetic testing.

Abstract
Non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a disease characterized by left ventricular dilation and systolic dysfunction. Patients with DCM are at higher risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). According to current international guidelines, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35% represents the main indication for prophylactic implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation in patients with DCM. However, LVEF lacks sensitivity and specificity as a risk marker for SCD. It has been seen that the majority of patients with DCM do not actually benefit from the ICD implantation and, on the contrary, that many patients at risk of SCD are not identified as they have preserved or mildly depressed LVEF. Therefore, the use of LVEF as unique decision parameter does not maximize the benefit of ICD therapy. Multiple risk factors used in combination could likely predict SCD risk better than any single risk parameter. Several predictors have been proposed including genetic variants, electric indexes, and volumetric parameters of LV. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can improve risk stratification thanks to tissue characterization sequences such as LGE sequence, parametric mapping, and feature tracking. This review evaluates the role of CMR as a risk stratification tool in DCM patients referred for ICD.

[PMID: 37998509 PMCID: PMC10672496 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd10110451] [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: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) typically develop myocardial fibrosis. No studies have investigated the clinical significance of the presence, location, and degree of fibrosis in SLE patients. Seventy-four SLE patients were included. Thirty-seven non-autoimmune disease patients and thirty-seven healthy individuals were included as controls. Myocardial fibrosis was evaluated at cardiac magnetic resonance via a qualitative and quantitative assessment of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Myocardial function was measured via speckle-tracking echocardiography. All patients were followed up for the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). The presence, locations, and degrees of LGE disturbed regional and global myocardial function. The presence of LGE, left ventricular free-wall LGE (LVFW LGE), and severe LGE were all independent predictors of MACE in SLE patients [LGE presence HR: 3.746 (1.434-9.79), p = 0.007; LVFW LGE HR: 2.395 (1.023-5.606), p = 0.044; severe LGE HR: 3.739 (1.241-11.266), p = 0.019]. LGE combined with SLE-related organ damage identified patients at high risk of MACE (p < 0.001). In conclusion, the presence, degree, and location of LGE were associated with myocardial dysfunction. The presence, location, and degree of LGE had the potential to independently predict poor prognosis and improve risk stratification in SLE patients.

Korean J Radiol 2023; 24:395-405. [PMID: 37133210 PMCID: PMC10157318 DOI: 10.3348/kjr.2023.0065] [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: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 02/03/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/04/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop and validate models using radiomics features on a native T1 map from cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to predict left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from 274 patients with NIDCM who underwent CMR imaging with T1 mapping at Severance Hospital between April 2012 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Radiomic features were extracted from the native T1 maps. LVRR was determined using echocardiography performed ≥ 180 days after the CMR. The radiomics score was generated using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator logistic regression models. Clinical, clinical + late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), clinical + radiomics, and clinical + LGE + radiomics models were built using a logistic regression method to predict LVRR. For internal validation of the result, bootstrap validation with 1000 resampling iterations was performed, and the optimism-corrected area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was computed. Model performance was compared using AUC with the DeLong test and bootstrap. RESULTS Among 274 patients, 123 (44.9%) were classified as LVRR-positive and 151 (55.1%) as LVRR-negative. The optimism-corrected AUC of the radiomics model in internal validation with bootstrapping was 0.753 (95% CI, 0.698-0.813). The clinical + radiomics model revealed a higher optimism-corrected AUC than that of the clinical + LGE model (0.794 vs. 0.716; difference, 0.078 [99% CI, 0.003-0.151]). The clinical + LGE + radiomics model significantly improved the prediction of LVRR compared with the clinical + LGE model (optimism-corrected AUC of 0.811 vs. 0.716; difference, 0.095 [99% CI, 0.022-0.139]). CONCLUSION The radiomic characteristics extracted from a non-enhanced T1 map may improve the prediction of LVRR and offer added value over traditional LGE in patients with NIDCM. Additional external validation research is required.

Late gadolinium enhancement and the risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death in NYHA class I patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Eur J Heart Fail 2023; 25:740-750.

Abstract
AIM To compare the risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden death (SD) between New York Heart Association (NYHA) class I and NYHA class II-III patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). METHODS AND RESULTS Observational retrospective cohort study including patients with NICM who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance at two hospitals. The primary endpoint included appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapies, sustained ventricular tachycardia, resuscitated cardiac arrest and SD. The secondary endpoint included heart failure (HF) hospitalizations, heart transplant, left ventricular assist device implant or HF death. Overall, 698 patients were included, 33% in NYHA class I. During a median follow-up of 31 months, the primary endpoint occurred in 57 patients (8%), with no differences between NYHA class I and NYHA class II-III cases (7% vs. 9%, p = 0.62). Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was the only independent predictor of the primary outcome both in NYHA class I and NYHA class II-III patients. LGE+ NYHA class I patients had a similar cumulative incidence of the primary endpoint as compared to LGE+ NYHA class II-III (p = 0.92) and a significantly higher risk as compared to LGE- NYHA class II-III cases (p < 0.001). The risk of the secondary endpoint was significantly higher in patients in NYHA class II-III as compared to those in NYHA class I (hazard ratio 3.2, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with NICM in NYHA class I are not necessarily at low risk of VA and SD. Actually, LGE+ NYHA class I patients have a high risk. NYHA class I patients with high-risk factors, such as LGE, could benefit from primary prevention ICD at least as much as those in NYHA class II-III with the same risk factors.

Abstract
Can the Heart Get an Overuse Sports Injury?Recent studies suggest that vigorous endurance exercise increases markers of cardiomyocyte injury and that lifelong endurance exercise may increase myocardial scarring, coronary artery atherosclerosis, AF, and aortic dilatation. This review summarizes the evidence linking these conditions with physical exertion and an approach to their management.

Abstract
Nonischemic cardiomyopathies include a wide range of dilated, hypertrophic and arrhythmogenic heart muscle disorders, not explained by coronary artery disease, hypertension, valvular or congenital heart disease. Advances in medical treatments and the availability of implantable cardioverter defibrillators to prevent sudden cardiac death have allowed a substantial increase in the survival of affected individuals, thus making early diagnosis and tailored treatment mandatory. The characterization of cardiomyopathies has received a great boost from the recent advances in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, which, to date, represents the gold standard for noninvasive assessment of cardiac morphology, function and myocardial tissue changes. An acute clinical presentation has been reported in a nonnegligible proportion of patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathies, usually complaining of acute chest pain, worsening dyspnoea or palpitations; 'hot phases' of cardiomyopathies are characterized by a dynamic rise in high-sensitivity troponin, myocardial oedema on CMR, arrhythmic instability, and by an increased long-term risk of adverse remodelling, progression of myocardial fibrosis, heart failure and malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Prompt recognition of 'hot phases' of nonischemic cardiomyopathies is of utmost importance to start an early, individualized treatment in these high-risk patients. On the one hand, CMR represents the gold standard imaging technique to detect early and typical signs of ongoing myocardial remodelling in patients presenting with a 'hot phase' nonischemic cardiomyopathy, including myocardial oedema, perfusion abnormalities and pathological mapping values. On the other hand, CMR allows the differential diagnosis of other acute heart conditions, such as acute coronary syndromes, takotsubo syndrome, myocarditis, pericarditis and sarcoidosis. This review provides a deep overview of standard and novel CMR techniques to detect 'hot phases' of cardiomyopathies, as well as their clinical and prognostic utility.
