Abstract
BACKGROUND
Postinfarction adverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling is strongly associated with heart failure events. Conicity index, sphericity index and LV global functional index (LVGFI) are new LV remodelling indexes assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
AIM
To assess the predictive value of the new indexes for 1-year adverse LV remodelling in patients with anterior ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI).
METHODS
CMR studies were performed in 129 patients with anterior STEMI (58±12 years; 78% men) from the randomized CIRCUS trial (CMR substudy) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention and followed for the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (death or hospitalization for heart failure). Conicity index, sphericity index, LVGFI, infarct size and microvascular obstruction (MVO) were assessed by CMR performed 5±4 days after coronary reperfusion. Adverse LV remodelling was defined as an increase in LV end-diastolic volume of ≥15% by transthoracic echocardiography at 1 year.
RESULTS
Adverse LV remodelling occurred in 27% of patients at 1 year. Infarct size and MVO were significantly predictive of adverse LV remodelling: odds ratio [OR] 1.03, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.05 (P<0.001) and OR 1.12, 95% CI 1.05-1.22 (P<0.001), respectively. Among the newly tested indexes, only LVGFI was significantly predictive of adverse LV remodelling (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.03-1.16; P=0.001). In multivariable analysis, infarct size remained an independent predictor of adverse LV remodelling at 1 year (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02-1.08; P<0.001). LVGFI and infarct size were associated with occurrence of MACE: OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.08-1.37 (P<0.001) and OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.04 (P=0.018), respectively. Conicity and sphericity indexes were not associated with MACE.
CONCLUSIONS
LVGFI was associated with adverse LV remodelling and MACE 1 year after anterior STEMI.
