Abstract
BACKGROUND Computed tomography cardiac angiography (CTCA) is recommended for the evaluation of patients with prior coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The BYPASS-CTCA study demonstrated that CTCA prior to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in CABG patients leads to significant reductions in procedure time and contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), alongside improved patient satisfaction. However, whether CTCA information was used to facilitate selective graft cannulation at ICA was not protocol mandated. In this post-hoc analysis we investigated the influence of CTCA facilitated selective graft assessment on angiographic parameters and study endpoints. METHODS BYPASS-CTCA was a randomized controlled trial in which patients with previous CABG referred for ICA were randomized to undergo CTCA prior to ICA, or ICA alone. In this post-hoc analysis we assessed the impact of selective ICA (grafts not invasively cannulated based on the CTCA result) following CTCA versus non-selective ICA (imaging all grafts irrespective of CTCA findings). The primary endpoints were ICA procedural duration, incidence of CIN, and patient satisfaction post-ICA. Secondary endpoints included the incidence of procedural complications and 1-year major adverse cardiac events. RESULTS In the CTCA cohort (n = 343), 214 (62.4%) patients had selective coronary angiography performed, whereas 129 (37.6%) patients had non-selective ICA. Procedure times were significantly reduced in the selective CTCA + ICA group compared to the non-selective CTCA + ICA group (-5.82min, 95% CI -7.99 to -3.65, p < 0.001) along with reduction of CIN (1.5% vs 5.8%, OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.10 to 0.98). No difference was seen in patient satisfaction with the ICA, however procedural complications (0.9% vs 4.7%, OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.09-0.87) and 1-year major adverse cardiac events (13.1% vs 20.9%, HR 0.55, 95% CI 0.32-0.96) were significantly lower in the selective group. CONCLUSIONS In patients with prior CABG, CTCA guided selective angiographic assessment of bypass grafts is associated with improved procedural parameters, lower complication rates and better 12-month outcomes. Taken in addition to the main findings of the BYPASS-CTCA trial, these results suggest a synergistic approach between CTCA and ICA should be considered in this patient group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ventricular arrhythmia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) relates to adverse structural change and genetic status. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-guided electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) noninvasively maps cardiac structural and electrophysiological (EP) properties. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to establish whether in subclinical HCM (genotype [G]+ left ventricular hypertrophy [LVH]-), ECGI detects early EP abnormality, and in overt HCM, whether the EP substrate relates to genetic status (G+/G-LVH+) and structural phenotype. METHODS This was a prospective 211-participant CMR-ECGI multicenter study of 70 G+LVH-, 104 LVH+ (51 G+/53 G-), and 37 healthy volunteers (HVs). Local activation time (AT), corrected repolarization time, corrected activation-recovery interval, spatial gradients (GAT/GRTc), and signal fractionation were derived from 1,000 epicardial sites per participant. Maximal wall thickness and scar burden were derived from CMR. A support vector machine was built to discriminate G+LVH- from HV and low-risk HCM from those with intermediate/high-risk score or nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. RESULTS Compared with HV, subclinical HCM showed mean AT prolongation (P = 0.008) even with normal 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) (P = 0.009), and repolarization was more spatially heterogenous (GRTc: P = 0.005) (23% had normal ECGs). Corrected activation-recovery interval was prolonged in overt vs subclinical HCM (P < 0.001). Mean AT was associated with maximal wall thickness; spatial conduction heterogeneity (GAT) and fractionation were associated with scar (all P < 0.05), and G+LVH+ had more fractionation than G-LVH+ (P = 0.002). The support vector machine discriminated subclinical HCM from HV (10-fold cross-validation accuracy 80% [95% CI: 73%-85%]) and identified patients at higher risk of sudden cardiac death (accuracy 82% [95% CI: 78%-86%]). CONCLUSIONS In the absence of LVH or 12-lead ECG abnormalities, HCM sarcomere gene mutation carriers express an aberrant EP phenotype detected by ECGI. In overt HCM, abnormalities occur more severely with adverse structural change and positive genetic status.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to characterise the level of access to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in Australian hospitals for patients with MR-conditional and non-MR-conditional cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED), and to identify any barriers impeding this access. METHODS All Australian Tertiary Referral Public Hospitals (n=38) were surveyed with a mixed qualitative and quantitative questionnaire. Provision of MRI to patients with MR-conditional and non-MR-conditional CIEDs; patient monitoring strategies during scan and personnel in attendance; barriers impeding MRI access. RESULTS Of the 35 (92%) hospitals that completed the survey, a majority (85.7%) scan MR-conditional CIEDs, while a minority (8.6%) scan non-MR-conditional CIEDs. MR-conditional device scanning is often limited to non-pacing dependent patients, excluding implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. In total, 21% of sites exclude thoracic MR scans for CIED patients. Although most centres scan on 1.5 Tesla (T) machines (59%), 10% scan at 3T and 31% scan at both strengths. Sites vary in patient monitoring strategies and personnel in attendance; 80% require staff with Advanced Cardiac Life Support to be present. Barriers to service expansion include an absence of national guidelines, formal training, and logistical device support. CONCLUSIONS Most surveyed Australian hospitals offer MRI for patients with MR-conditional CIEDs, however many still have exclusions for particular patient groups or scan requests. Only three surveyed sites offer MRI for patients with non-MR-conditional CIEDs in Australia. A national effort is needed to address the identified barriers including the development of national guidelines, formal training, and logistical support.

Abstract
PURPOSE A recent observational study suggested statins could reduce cancer diagnosis in patients with heart failure (HF). The findings need to be validated using robust epidemiological methods. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of statin treatment on the risk of cancer in patients with HF. METHODS We conducted two target trial emulations using primary care data from IQVIA Medical Research Database-UK (2000 to 2019) with a clone-censor-weight design. The first emulated trial addressed the treatment initiation effect: initiating within 1 year versus not initiating a statin after the HF diagnosis. The second emulated trial addressed the cumulative exposure effect: continuing a statin for ≤3 years, 3-6 years, and >6 years after initiation. The study outcomes were any incident cancer and site-specific cancer diagnoses. Weighted pooled logistic regression models were used to estimate 10-year risk ratios (RR). 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using non-parametric bootstrapping. RESULTS The first emulated trial showed that, compared to no statin, statins did not reduce the cancer risk in patients with HF (RR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.94-1.15). The second emulated trial showed that, compared to treatment ≤3 years, statins with longer durations did not reduce the cancer risk (3-6 years: RR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.70-1.33. >6 years: RR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.79-1.26). No significant risk difference was observed on any site-specific cancer diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS The results from the target trial emulations suggest that statin treatment is not associated with cancer risk in patients with HF.

Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly a fundamental component of the diagnostic pathway across a range of conditions. Historically, the presence of a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) has been a contraindication for MRI, however, development of MR Conditional devices that can be scanned under strict protocols has facilitated the provision of MRI for patients. Additionally, there is growing safety data to support MR scanning in patients with CIEDs that do not have MR safety labelling or with MR Conditional CIEDs where certain conditions are not met, where the clinical justification is robust. This means that almost all patients with cardiac devices should now have the same access to MRI scanning in the National Health Service as the general population. Provision of MRI to patients with CIED, however, remains limited in the UK, with only half of units accepting scan requests even for patients with MR Conditional CIEDs. Service delivery requires specialist equipment and robust protocols to ensure patient safety and facilitate workflows, meanwhile demanding collaboration between healthcare professionals across many disciplines. This document provides consensus recommendations from across the relevant stakeholder professional bodies and patient groups to encourage provision of safe MRI for patients with CIEDs.

Abstract
AIMS Cardiac involvement is the main driver of clinical outcomes in systemic amyloidosis and preliminary studies support the hypothesis that myocardial ischaemia contributes to cellular damage. The aims of this study were to assess the presence and mechanisms of myocardial ischaemia using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with multiparametric mapping and histopathological assessment. METHODS AND RESULTS Ninety-three patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) (light-chain amyloidosis n = 42, transthyretin amyloidosis n = 51) and 97 without CA (three-vessel coronary disease [3VD] n = 47, unobstructed coronary arteries n = 26, healthy volunteers [HV] n = 24) underwent quantitative stress perfusion CMR with myocardial blood flow (MBF) mapping. Twenty-four myocardial biopsies and three explanted hearts with CA were analysed histopathologically. Stress MBF was severely reduced in patients with CA with lower values than patients with 3VD, unobstructed coronary arteries and HV (CA: 1.04 ± 0.51 ml/min/g, 3VD: 1.35 ± 0.50 ml/min/g, unobstructed coronary arteries: 2.92 ± 0.52 ml/min/g, HV: 2.91 ± 0.73 ml/min/g; CA vs. 3VD p = 0.011, CA vs. unobstructed coronary arteries p < 0.001, CA vs. HV p < 0.001). Myocardial perfusion abnormalities correlated with amyloid burden, systolic and diastolic function, structural parameters and blood biomarkers (p < 0.05). Biopsies demonstrated abnormal vascular endothelial growth factor staining in cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells, which may be related to hypoxia conditions. Amyloid infiltration in intramural arteries was associated with severe lumen reduction and severe reduction in capillary density. CONCLUSION Cardiac amyloidosis is associated with severe inducible myocardial ischaemia demonstrable by histology and CMR stress perfusion mapping. Histological evaluation indicates a complex pathophysiology, where in addition to systolic and diastolic dysfunction, amyloid infiltration of the epicardial arteries and disruption and rarefaction of the capillaries play a role in contributing to myocardial ischaemia.

Abstract
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a proven imaging modality for informing diagnosis and prognosis, guiding therapeutic decisions, and risk stratifying surgical intervention. Patients with a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) would be expected to derive particular benefit from CMR given high prevalence of cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia. While several guidelines have been published over the last 16 years, it is important to recognize that both the CIED and CMR technologies, as well as our knowledge in MR safety, have evolved rapidly during that period. Given increasing utilization of CIED over the past decades, there is an unmet need to establish a consensus statement that integrates latest evidence concerning MR safety and CIED and CMR technologies. While experienced centers currently perform CMR in CIED patients, broad availability of CMR in this population is lacking, partially due to limited availability of resources for programming devices and appropriate monitoring, but also related to knowledge gaps regarding the risk-benefit ratio of CMR in this growing population. To address the knowledge gaps, this SCMR Expert Consensus Statement integrates consensus guidelines, primary data, and opinions from experts across disparate fields towards the shared goal of informing evidenced-based decision-making regarding the risk-benefit ratio of CMR for patients with CIEDs.

Abstract
Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) improve quality of life and prolong survival, but there are additional considerations for cardiovascular imaging after implantation-both for standard indications and for diagnosing and guiding management of device-related complications. This clinical consensus statement (part 2) from the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, in collaboration with the European Heart Rhythm Association, provides comprehensive, up-to-date, and evidence-based guidance to cardiologists, cardiac imagers, and pacing specialists regarding the use of imaging in patients after implantation of conventional pacemakers, cardioverter defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices. The document summarizes the existing evidence regarding the role and optimal use of various cardiac imaging modalities in patients with suspected CIED-related complications and also discusses CRT optimization, the safety of magnetic resonance imaging in CIED carriers, and describes the role of chest radiography in assessing CIED type, position, and complications. The role of imaging before and during CIED implantation is discussed in a companion document (part 1).

Abstract
More than 500 000 cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are implanted in the European Society of Cardiology countries each year. The role of cardiovascular imaging in patients being considered for CIED is distinctly different from imaging in CIED recipients. In the former group, imaging can help identify specific or potentially reversible causes of heart block, the underlying tissue characteristics associated with malignant arrhythmias, and the mechanical consequences of conduction delays and can also aid challenging lead placements. On the other hand, cardiovascular imaging is required in CIED recipients for standard indications and to assess the response to device implantation, to diagnose immediate and delayed complications after implantation, and to guide device optimization. The present clinical consensus statement (Part 1) from the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, in collaboration with the European Heart Rhythm Association, provides comprehensive, up-to-date, and evidence-based guidance to cardiologists, cardiac imagers, and pacing specialists regarding the use of imaging in patients undergoing implantation of conventional pacemakers, cardioverter defibrillators, and resynchronization therapy devices. The document summarizes the existing evidence regarding the use of imaging in patient selection and during the implantation procedure and also underlines gaps in evidence in the field. The role of imaging after CIED implantation is discussed in the second document (Part 2).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The multiorgan impact of moderate to severe coronavirus infections in the post-acute phase is still poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities after hospitalisation with COVID-19, evaluate their determinants, and explore associations with patient-related outcome measures. METHODS In a prospective, UK-wide, multicentre MRI follow-up study (C-MORE), adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital following COVID-19 who were included in Tier 2 of the Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) and contemporary controls with no evidence of previous COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibody negative) underwent multiorgan MRI (lungs, heart, brain, liver, and kidneys) with quantitative and qualitative assessment of images and clinical adjudication when relevant. Individuals with end-stage renal failure or contraindications to MRI were excluded. Participants also underwent detailed recording of symptoms, and physiological and biochemical tests. The primary outcome was the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities (two or more organs) relative to controls, with further adjustments for potential confounders. The C-MORE study is ongoing and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04510025. FINDINGS Of 2710 participants in Tier 2 of PHOSP-COVID, 531 were recruited across 13 UK-wide C-MORE sites. After exclusions, 259 C-MORE patients (mean age 57 years [SD 12]; 158 [61%] male and 101 [39%] female) who were discharged from hospital with PCR-confirmed or clinically diagnosed COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and Nov 1, 2021, and 52 non-COVID-19 controls from the community (mean age 49 years [SD 14]; 30 [58%] male and 22 [42%] female) were included in the analysis. Patients were assessed at a median of 5·0 months (IQR 4·2-6·3) after hospital discharge. Compared with non-COVID-19 controls, patients were older, living with more obesity, and had more comorbidities. Multiorgan abnormalities on MRI were more frequent in patients than in controls (157 [61%] of 259 vs 14 [27%] of 52; p<0·0001) and independently associated with COVID-19 status (odds ratio [OR] 2·9 [95% CI 1·5-5·8]; padjusted=0·0023) after adjusting for relevant confounders. Compared with controls, patients were more likely to have MRI evidence of lung abnormalities (p=0·0001; parenchymal abnormalities), brain abnormalities (p<0·0001; more white matter hyperintensities and regional brain volume reduction), and kidney abnormalities (p=0·014; lower medullary T1 and loss of corticomedullary differentiation), whereas cardiac and liver MRI abnormalities were similar between patients and controls. Patients with multiorgan abnormalities were older (difference in mean age 7 years [95% CI 4-10]; mean age of 59·8 years [SD 11·7] with multiorgan abnormalities vs mean age of 52·8 years [11·9] without multiorgan abnormalities; p<0·0001), more likely to have three or more comorbidities (OR 2·47 [1·32-4·82]; padjusted=0·0059), and more likely to have a more severe acute infection (acute CRP >5mg/L, OR 3·55 [1·23-11·88]; padjusted=0·025) than those without multiorgan abnormalities. Presence of lung MRI abnormalities was associated with a two-fold higher risk of chest tightness, and multiorgan MRI abnormalities were associated with severe and very severe persistent physical and mental health impairment (PHOSP-COVID symptom clusters) after hospitalisation. INTERPRETATION After hospitalisation for COVID-19, people are at risk of multiorgan abnormalities in the medium term. Our findings emphasise the need for proactive multidisciplinary care pathways, with the potential for imaging to guide surveillance frequency and therapeutic stratification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with previous coronary artery bypass grafting often require invasive coronary angiography (ICA). However, for these patients, the procedure is technically more challenging and has a higher risk of complications. Observational studies suggest that computed tomography cardiac angiography (CTCA) may facilitate ICA in this group, but this has not been tested in a randomized controlled trial. METHODS This study was a single-center, open-label randomized controlled trial assessing the benefit of adjunctive CTCA in patients with previous coronary artery bypass grafting referred for ICA. Patients were randomized 1:1 to undergo CTCA before ICA or ICA alone. The co-primary end points were procedural duration of the ICA (defined as the interval between local anesthesia administration for obtaining vascular access and removal of the last catheter), patient satisfaction after ICA using a validated questionnaire, and the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy. Linear regression was used for procedural duration and patient satisfaction score; contrast-induced nephropathy was analyzed using logistic regression. We applied the Bonferroni correction, with P<0.017 considered significant and 98.33% CIs presented. Secondary end points included incidence of procedural complications and 1-year major adverse cardiac events. RESULTS Over 3 years, 688 patients were randomized with a median follow-up of 1.0 years. The mean age was 69.8±10.4 years, 108 (15.7%) were women, 402 (58.4%) were White, and there was a high burden of comorbidity (85.3% hypertension and 53.8% diabetes). The median time from coronary artery bypass grafting to angiography was 12.0 years, and there were a median of 3 (interquartile range, 2 to 3) grafts per participant. Procedure duration of the ICA was significantly shorter in the CTCA+ICA group (CTCA+ICA, 18.6±9.5 minutes versus ICA alone, 39.5±16.9 minutes [98.33% CI, -23.5 to -18.4]; P<0.001), alongside improved mean ICA satisfaction scores (1=very good to 5=very poor; -1.1 difference [98.33% CI, -1.2 to -0.9]; P<0.001), and reduced incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (3.4% versus 27.9%; odds ratio, 0.09 [98.33% CI, 0.04-0.2]; P<0.001). Procedural complications (2.3% versus 10.8%; odds ratio, 0.2 [95% CI, 0.1-0.4]; P<0.001) and 1-year major adverse cardiac events (16.0% versus 29.4%; hazard ratio, 0.4 [95% CI, 0.3-0.6]; P<0.001) were also lower in the CTCA+ICA group. CONCLUSIONS For patients with previous coronary artery bypass grafting, CTCA before ICA leads to reductions in procedure time and contrast-induced nephropathy, with improved patient satisfaction. CTCA before ICA should be considered in this group of patients. REGISTRATION URL: https://www. CLINICALTRIALS gov; Unique identifier: NCT03736018.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no acceptable maximum wall thickness (MWT) threshold for diagnosing apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM), with guidelines referring to ≥15 mm MWT for all hypertrophic cardiomyopathy subtypes. A normal myocardium naturally tapers apically; a fixed diagnostic threshold fails to account for this. Using cardiac magnetic resonance, "relative" ApHCM has been described with typical electrocardiographic features, loss of apical tapering, and cavity obliteration but also with MWT <15 mm. OBJECTIVES The authors aimed to define normal apical wall thickness thresholds in healthy subjects and use these to accurately identify ApHCM. METHODS The following healthy subjects were recruited: healthy UK Biobank imaging substudy subjects (n = 4,112) and an independent healthy volunteer group (n = 489). A clinically defined disease population of 104 ApHCM subjects was enrolled, with 72 overt (MWT ≥15 mm) and 32 relative (MWT <15 mm but typical electrocardiographic/imaging findings) ApHCM subjects. Cardiac magnetic resonance-derived MWT was measured in 16 segments using a published clinically validated machine learning algorithm. Segmental normal reference ranges were created and indexed (for age, sex, and body surface area), and diagnostic performance was assessed. RESULTS In healthy cohorts, there was no clinically significant age-related difference for apical wall thickness. There were sex-related differences, but these were not clinically significant after indexing to body surface area. Therefore, segmental reference ranges for apical hypertrophy required indexing to body surface area only (not age or sex). The upper limit of normal (the largest of the 4 apical segments measured) corresponded to a maximum apical MWT in healthy subjects of 5.2 to 5.6 mm/m2 with an accuracy of 0.94 (the unindexed equivalent being 11 mm). This threshold was categorized as abnormal in 99% (71/72) of overt ApHCM patients, 78% (25/32) of relative ApHCM patients, 3% (122/4,112) of UK Biobank subjects, and 3% (13/489) of healthy volunteers. CONCLUSIONS Per-segment indexed apical wall thickness thresholds are highly accurate for detecting apical hypertrophy, providing confidence to the reader to diagnose ApHCM in those not reaching current internationally recognized criteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), myocyte disarray and microvascular disease (MVD) have been implicated in adverse events, and recent evidence suggests that these may occur early. As novel therapy provides promise for disease modification, detection of phenotype development is an emerging priority. To evaluate their utility as early and disease-specific biomarkers, we measured myocardial microstructure and MVD in 3 HCM groups-overt, either genotype-positive (G+LVH+) or genotype-negative (G-LVH+), and subclinical (G+LVH-) HCM-exploring relationships with electrical changes and genetic substrate. METHODS This was a multicenter collaboration to study 206 subjects: 101 patients with overt HCM (51 G+LVH+ and 50 G-LVH+), 77 patients with G+LVH-, and 28 matched healthy volunteers. All underwent 12-lead ECG, quantitative perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (measuring myocardial blood flow, myocardial perfusion reserve, and perfusion defects), and cardiac diffusion tensor imaging measuring fractional anisotropy (lower values expected with more disarray), mean diffusivity (reflecting myocyte packing/interstitial expansion), and second eigenvector angle (measuring sheetlet orientation). RESULTS Compared with healthy volunteers, patients with overt HCM had evidence of altered microstructure (lower fractional anisotropy, higher mean diffusivity, and higher second eigenvector angle; all P<0.001) and MVD (lower stress myocardial blood flow and myocardial perfusion reserve; both P<0.001). Patients with G-LVH+ were similar to those with G+LVH+ but had elevated second eigenvector angle (P<0.001 after adjustment for left ventricular hypertrophy and fibrosis). In overt disease, perfusion defects were found in all G+ but not all G- patients (100% [51/51] versus 82% [41/50]; P=0.001). Patients with G+LVH- compared with healthy volunteers similarly had altered microstructure, although to a lesser extent (all diffusion tensor imaging parameters; P<0.001), and MVD (reduced stress myocardial blood flow [P=0.015] with perfusion defects in 28% versus 0 healthy volunteers [P=0.002]). Disarray and MVD were independently associated with pathological electrocardiographic abnormalities in both overt and subclinical disease after adjustment for fibrosis and left ventricular hypertrophy (overt: fractional anisotropy: odds ratio for an abnormal ECG, 3.3, P=0.01; stress myocardial blood flow: odds ratio, 2.8, P=0.015; subclinical: fractional anisotropy odds ratio, 4.0, P=0.001; myocardial perfusion reserve odds ratio, 2.2, P=0.049). CONCLUSIONS Microstructural alteration and MVD occur in overt HCM and are different in G+ and G- patients. Both also occur in the absence of hypertrophy in sarcomeric mutation carriers, in whom changes are associated with electrocardiographic abnormalities. Measurable changes in myocardial microstructure and microvascular function are early-phenotype biomarkers in the emerging era of disease-modifying therapy.

Abstract
Importance Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging-derived extracellular volume (ECV) mapping, generated from precontrast and postcontrast T1, accurately determines treatment response in cardiac light-chain amyloidosis. Native T1 mapping, which can be derived without the need for contrast, has demonstrated accuracy in diagnosis and prognostication, but it is unclear whether serial native T1 measurements could also track the cardiac treatment response. Objective To assess whether native T1 mapping can measure the cardiac treatment response and the association between changes in native T1 and prognosis. Design, Setting, and Participants This single-center cohort study evaluated patients diagnosed with cardiac light-chain amyloidosis (January 2016 to December 2020) who underwent CMR scans at diagnosis and a repeat scan following chemotherapy. Analysis took place between January 2016 and October 2022. Main Outcomes and Measures Comparison of biomarkers and cardiac imaging parameters between patients with a reduced, stable, or increased native T1 and association between changes in native T1 and mortality. Results The study comprised 221 patients (mean [SD] age, 64.7 [10.6] years; 130 male [59%]). At 6 months, 183 patients (mean [SD] age, 64.8 [10.5] years; 110 male [60%]) underwent repeat CMR imaging. Reduced native T1 of 50 milliseconds or more occurred in 8 patients (4%), all of whom had a good hematological response; by contrast, an increased native T1 of 50 milliseconds or more occurred in 42 patients (23%), most of whom had a poor hematological response (27 [68%]). At 12 months, 160 patients (mean [SD] age, 63.8 [11.1] years; 94 male [59%]) had a repeat CMR scan. A reduced native T1 occurred in 24 patients (15%), all of whom had a good hematological response, and was associated with a reduction in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (median [IQR], 2638 [913-5767] vs 423 [128-1777] ng/L; P < .001), maximal wall thickness (mean [SD], 14.8 [3.6] vs 13.6 [3.9] mm; P = .009), and E/e' (mean [SD], 14.9 [6.8] vs 12.0 [4.0]; P = .007), improved longitudinal strain (mean [SD], -14.8% [4.0%] vs -16.7% [4.0%]; P = .004), and reduction in both myocardial T2 (mean [SD], 52.3 [2.9] vs 49.4 [2.0] milliseconds; P < .001) and ECV (mean [SD], 0.47 [0.07] vs 0.42 [0.08]; P < .001). At 12 months, an increased native T1 occurred in 24 patients (15%), most of whom had a poor hematological response (17 [71%]), and was associated with an increased N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (median [IQR], 1622 [554-5487] vs 3150 [1161-8745] ng/L; P = .007), reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (mean [SD], 65.8% [11.4%] vs 61.5% [12.4%]; P = .009), and an increase in both myocardial T2 (mean [SD], 52.5 [2.7] vs 55.3 [4.2] milliseconds; P < .001) and ECV (mean [SD], 0.48 [0.09] vs 0.56 [0.09]; P < .001). Change in myocardial native T1 at 6 months was independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio, 2.41 [95% CI, 1.36-4.27]; P = .003). Conclusions and Relevance Changes in native T1 in response to treatment, reflecting a composite of changes in T2 and ECV, are associated with in changes in traditional markers of cardiac response and associated with mortality. However, as a single-center study, these results require external validation in a larger cohort.

Abstract
Among the unknowns in decoding the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 persistent symptoms in Long Covid is whether there is a contributory role of abnormal immunity during acute infection. It has been proposed that Long Covid is a consequence of either an excessive or inadequate initial immune response. Here, we analyze SARS-CoV-2 humoral and cellular immunity in 86 healthcare workers with laboratory confirmed mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection during the first wave. Symptom questionnaires allow stratification into those with persistent symptoms and those without for comparison. During the period up to 18-weeks post-infection, we observe no difference in antibody responses to spike RBD or nucleoprotein, virus neutralization, or T cell responses. Also, there is no difference in the profile of antibody waning. Analysis at 1-year, after two vaccine doses, comparing those with persistent symptoms to those without, again shows similar SARS-CoV-2 immunity. Thus, quantitative differences in these measured parameters of SARS-CoV-2 adaptive immunity following mild or asymptomatic acute infection are unlikely to have contributed to Long Covid causality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic light chain amyloidosis is a multisystem disorder that commonly involves the heart, liver, and spleen. Cardiac magnetic resonance with extracellular volume (ECV) mapping provides a surrogate measure of the myocardial, liver, and spleen amyloid burden. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess multiorgan response to treatment using ECV mapping, and assess the association between multiorgan treatment response and prognosis. METHODS The authors identified 351 patients who underwent baseline serum amyloid-P-component (SAP) scintigraphy and cardiac magnetic resonance at diagnosis, of which 171 had follow-up imaging. RESULTS At diagnosis, ECV mapping demonstrated that 304 (87%) had cardiac involvement, 114 (33%) significant hepatic involvement, and 147 (42%) significant splenic involvement. Baseline myocardial and liver ECV independently predict mortality (myocardial HR: 1.03 [95% CI: 1.01-1.06]; P = 0.009; liver HR: 1.03; [95% CI: 1.01-1.05]; P = 0.001). Liver and spleen ECV correlated with amyloid load assessed by SAP scintigraphy (R = 0.751; P < 0.001; R = 0.765; P < 0.001, respectively). Serial measurements demonstrated ECV correctly identified changes in liver and spleen amyloid load derived from SAP scintigraphy in 85% and 82% of cases, respectively. At 6 months, more patients with a good hematologic response had liver (30%) and spleen (36%) ECV regression than myocardial regression (5%). By 12 months, more patients with a good response demonstrated myocardial regression (heart 32%, liver 30%, spleen 36%). Myocardial regression was associated with reduced median N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (P < 0.001), and liver regression with reduced median alkaline phosphatase (P = 0.001). Changes in myocardial and liver ECV, 6 months after initiating chemotherapy, independently predict mortality (myocardial HR: 1.11 [95% CI: 1.02-1.20]; P = 0.011; liver HR: 1.07 [95% CI: 1.01-1.13]; P = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS Multiorgan ECV quantification accurately tracks treatment response and demonstrates different rates of organ regression, with the liver and spleen regressing more rapidly than the heart. Baseline myocardial and liver ECV and changes at 6 months independently predict mortality, even after adjusting for traditional predictors of prognosis.

Abstract
T cell responses precede antibody and may provide early control of infection. We analyzed the clonal basis of this rapid response following SARS-COV-2 infection. We applied T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing to define the trajectories of individual T cell clones immediately. In SARS-COV-2 PCR+ individuals, a wave of TCRs strongly but transiently expand, frequently peaking the same week as the first positive PCR test. These expanding TCR CDR3s were enriched for sequences functionally annotated as SARS-COV-2 specific. Epitopes recognized by the expanding TCRs were highly conserved between SARS-COV-2 strains but not with circulating human coronaviruses. Many expanding CDR3s were present at high frequency in pre-pandemic repertoires. Early response TCRs specific for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus epitopes were also found at high frequency in the preinfection naive repertoire. High-frequency naive precursors may allow the T cell response to respond rapidly during the crucial early phases of acute viral infection.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to examine the diagnostic yield of pericardial fluid biochemistry and cytology and their prognostic significance in patients with percutaneously drained pericardial effusions, with and without malignancy. This is a single-center, retrospective study of patients who underwent pericardiocentesis between 2010 and 2020. Data were extracted from electronic patient records, including procedural information, underlying diagnosis, and laboratory results. Patients were grouped into those with and without underlying malignancy. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the association of variables with mortality. The study included 179 patients; 50% had an underlying malignancy. There were no significant differences in pericardial fluid protein and lactate dehydrogenase between the 2 groups. Diagnostic yield from pericardial fluid analysis was greater in the malignant group (32% vs 11%, p = 0.002); 72% of newly diagnosed malignancies had positive fluid cytology. The 1-year survival was 86% and 33% in nonmalignant and malignant groups, respectively (p <0.001). Of 17 patients who died within the nonmalignant group, idiopathic effusions were the largest group (n = 6). In malignancy, lower pericardial fluid protein and higher serum C-reactive protein were associated with increased risk of mortality. In conclusion, pericardial fluid biochemistry has limited value in determining the etiology of pericardial effusions; fluid cytology is the most important diagnostic test. Mortality in malignant pericardial effusions may be associated with lower pericardial fluid protein levels and a higher serum C-reactive protein. Nonmalignant pericardial effusions do not have a benign prognosis and close follow-up is required.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have become the mainstay of treatment for chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML), but cardiovascular (CV) risk and exacerbation of underlying risk factors associated with TKIs have become widely debated. Real-world evidence reveals little application of CV risk factor screening or continued monitoring within UK CML management. This consensus paper presents practical recommendations to assist healthcare professionals in conducting CV screening/comorbidity management for patients receiving TKIs. METHODS We conducted a multidisciplinary panel meeting and two iterative surveys involving 10 CML specialists: five haematologists, two cardio-oncologists, one vascular surgeon, one haemato-oncology pharmacist and one specialist nurse practitioner. RESULTS The panel recommended that patients commencing second-/third-generation TKIs undergo formal CV risk assessment at baseline, with additional investigations and involvement of cardiologists/vascular surgeons for those with high CV risk. During treatment, patients should undergo CV monitoring, with the nature and frequency of testing dependent on TKI and baseline CV risk. For patients who develop CV adverse events, decision-making around TKI interruption, cessation or change should be multidisciplinary and balance CV and haematological risk. CONCLUSION The panel anticipates these recommendations will support healthcare professionals in implementing CV risk screening and monitoring, broadly and consistently, and thereby help optimise TKI treatment for CML.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial injury in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a poor prognosis. Its associations and pathogenesis are unclear. Our aim was to assess the presence, nature, and extent of myocardial damage in hospitalized patients with troponin elevation. METHODS Across 25 hospitals in the United Kingdom, 342 patients with COVID-19 and an elevated troponin level (COVID+/troponin+) were enrolled between June 2020 and March 2021 and had a magnetic resonance imaging scan within 28 days of discharge. Two prospective control groups were recruited, comprising 64 patients with COVID-19 and normal troponin levels (COVID+/troponin-) and 113 patients without COVID-19 or elevated troponin level matched by age and cardiovascular comorbidities (COVID-/comorbidity+). Regression modeling was performed to identify predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events at 12 months. RESULTS Of the 519 included patients, 356 (69%) were men, with a median (interquartile range) age of 61.0 years (53.8, 68.8). The frequency of any heart abnormality, defined as left or right ventricular impairment, scar, or pericardial disease, was 2-fold greater in cases (61% [207/342]) compared with controls (36% [COVID+/troponin-] versus 31% [COVID-/comorbidity+]; P<0.001 for both). More cases than controls had ventricular impairment (17.2% versus 3.1% and 7.1%) or scar (42% versus 7% and 23%; P<0.001 for both). The myocardial injury pattern was different, with cases more likely than controls to have infarction (13% versus 2% and 7%; P<0.01) or microinfarction (9% versus 0% and 1%; P<0.001), but there was no difference in nonischemic scar (13% versus 5% and 14%; P=0.10). Using the Lake Louise magnetic resonance imaging criteria, the prevalence of probable recent myocarditis was 6.7% (23/342) in cases compared with 1.7% (2/113) in controls without COVID-19 (P=0.045). During follow-up, 4 patients died and 34 experienced a subsequent major adverse cardiovascular event (10.2%), which was similar to controls (6.1%; P=0.70). Myocardial scar, but not previous COVID-19 infection or troponin, was an independent predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events (odds ratio, 2.25 [95% CI, 1.12-4.57]; P=0.02). CONCLUSIONS Compared with contemporary controls, patients with COVID-19 and elevated cardiac troponin level have more ventricular impairment and myocardial scar in early convalescence. However, the proportion with myocarditis was low and scar pathogenesis was diverse, including a newly described pattern of microinfarction.

Abstract
Primary aldosteronism (PA) due to a unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma is a common cause of hypertension. This can be cured, or greatly improved, by adrenal surgery. However, the invasive nature of the standard pre-surgical investigation contributes to fewer than 1% of patients with PA being offered the chance of a cure. The primary objective of our prospective study of 143 patients with PA ( NCT02945904 ) was to compare the accuracy of a non-invasive test, [11C]metomidate positron emission tomography computed tomography (MTO) scanning, with adrenal vein sampling (AVS) in predicting the biochemical remission of PA and the resolution of hypertension after surgery. A total of 128 patients reached 6- to 9-month follow-up, with 78 (61%) treated surgically and 50 (39%) managed medically. Of the 78 patients receiving surgery, 77 achieved one or more PA surgical outcome criterion for success. The accuracies of MTO at predicting biochemical and clinical success following adrenalectomy were, respectively, 72.7 and 65.4%. For AVS, the accuracies were 63.6 and 61.5%. MTO was not significantly superior, but the differences of 9.1% (95% confidence interval = -6.5 to 24.1%) and 3.8% (95% confidence interval = -11.9 to 9.4) lay within the pre-specified -17% margin for non-inferiority (P = 0.00055 and P = 0.0077, respectively). Of 24 serious adverse events, none was considered related to either investigation and 22 were fully resolved. MTO enables non-invasive diagnosis of unilateral PA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND COVID-19 data have been generated across the United Kingdom as a by-product of clinical care and public health provision, as well as numerous bespoke and repurposed research endeavors. Analysis of these data has underpinned the United Kingdom's response to the pandemic, and informed public health policies and clinical guidelines. However, these data are held by different organizations, and this fragmented landscape has presented challenges for public health agencies and researchers as they struggle to find relevant data to access and interrogate the data they need to inform the pandemic response at pace. OBJECTIVE We aimed to transform UK COVID-19 diagnostic data sets to be findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). METHODS A federated infrastructure model (COVID - Curated and Open Analysis and Research Platform [CO-CONNECT]) was rapidly built to enable the automated and reproducible mapping of health data partners' pseudonymized data to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model without the need for any data to leave the data controllers' secure environments, and to support federated cohort discovery queries and meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 56 data sets from 19 organizations are being connected to the federated network. The data include research cohorts and COVID-19 data collected through routine health care provision linked to longitudinal health care records and demographics. The infrastructure is live, supporting aggregate-level querying of data across the United Kingdom. CONCLUSIONS CO-CONNECT was developed by a multidisciplinary team. It enables rapid COVID-19 data discovery and instantaneous meta-analysis across data sources, and it is researching streamlined data extraction for use in a Trusted Research Environment for research and public health analysis. CO-CONNECT has the potential to make UK health data more interconnected and better able to answer national-level research questions while maintaining patient confidentiality and local governance procedures.

Abstract
AIMS Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is predominantly diagnosed in men. The few available studies suggest affected women have a more favourable cardiac phenotype. We aimed to characterize sex differences among consecutive patients with non-hereditary and two prevalent forms of hereditary (h)ATTR-CM diagnosed over a 20-year period. METHODS AND RESULTS Analysis of deep phenotyping at presentation, changes on serial echocardiography and overall prognosis were evaluated. In total, 1732 consecutive patients were studied, comprising: 1095 with wild-type (wt)ATTR-CM; 206 with T60A-hATTR-CM; and 431 with V122I-hATTR-CM. Female prevalence was greater in T60A-hATTR-CM (29.6%) and V122I-hATTR-CM (27.8%) compared to wtATTR-CM (6%). At presentation, females were 3.3 years older than males (wtATTR-CM: 81.9 vs. 77.8 years; T60A-hATTR-CM: 68.7 vs. 65.1 years; V122I-hATTR-CM: 77.1 vs. 74.9 years). Body size significantly influenced measures of disease severity; when indexed, overall structural and functional phenotype was similar between sexes, the few significant differences suggested a mildly worse phenotype in females. No significant differences were observed in both disease progression on serial echocardiography and mortality across the overall population (p = 0.459) and when divided by genotype (wtATTR-CM: p = 0.730; T60A-hATTR-CM: p = 0.161; V122I-hATTR-CM: p = 0.056). CONCLUSION This study of a well-characterized large cohort of ATTR-CM patients did not demonstrate overall differences between sexes in either clinical phenotype, when indexed, or with respect to disease progression and prognosis. Non-indexed wall thickness measurements may have contributed to both under-representation and delays in diagnosis for affected females and highlights the potential role of utilizing indexed echocardiographic parameters for a more accurate assessment of patients at diagnosis and for disease prognostication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnostic and therapeutic advances have led to much greater awareness of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA). We aimed to characterize changes in the clinical phenotype of patients diagnosed with ATTR-CA over the past 20 years. METHODS This is a retrospective observational cohort study of all patients referred to the National Amyloidosis Centre (2002-2021) in whom ATTR-CA was a differential diagnosis. RESULTS We identified 2995 patients referred with suspected ATTR-CA, of whom 1967 had a diagnosis of ATTR-CA confirmed. Analysis by 5-year periods revealed an incremental increase in referrals, with higher proportions of patients having been referred after bone scintigraphy and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (2% versus 34% versus 51% versus 55%, chi-square P<0.001). This was accompanied by a greater number of ATTR-CA diagnoses, predominantly of the wild-type nonhereditary form, which is now the most commonly diagnosed form of ATTR-CA (0% versus 54% versus 67% versus 66%, chi-square P<0.001). Over time, the median duration of associated symptoms before diagnosis fell from 36 months between 2002 and 2006 to 12 months between 2017 and 2021 (Mann-Whitney P<0.001), and a greater proportion of patients had early-stage disease at diagnosis across the 5-year periods (National Amyloidosis Centre stage 1: 34% versus 42% versus 44% versus 53%, chi-square P<0.001). This was associated with more favorable echocardiographic parameters of structure and function, including lesser interventricular septal thickness (18.0±3.8 mm versus 17.2±2.6 mm versus 16.9±2.3 mm versus 16.6±2.4 mm, P=0.01) and higher left ventricular ejection fraction (46.0%±8.9% versus 46.8%±11.0% versus 47.8%±11.0% versus 49.5%±11.1%, P<0.001). Mortality decreased progressively during the study period (2007-2011 versus 2012-2016: hazard ratio, 1.57 [95% CI, 1.31-1.89], P<0.001; and 2012-2016 versus 2017-2021: hazard ratio, 1.89 [95% CI, 1.55-2.30], P<0.001). The proportion of patients enrolled into clinical trials and prescribed disease-modifying therapy increased over the 20-year period, but even when censoring at the trial or medication start date, year of diagnosis remained a significant predictor of mortality (2012-2016 versus 2017-2021: hazard ratio, 1.05 [95% CI, 1.03-1.07], P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS There has been a substantial increase in ATTR-CA diagnoses, with more patients being referred after local advanced cardiac imaging. Patients are now more often diagnosed at an earlier stage of the disease, with substantially lower mortality. These changes may have important implications for initiation and outcome of therapy and urgently need to be factored into clinical trial design.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of those infected by ancestral Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) during the UK first wave (starting March 2020) did not require hospitalisation. Most had a short-lived mild or asymptomatic infection, while others had symptoms that persisted for weeks or months. We hypothesized that the plasma proteome at the time of first infection would reflect differences in the inflammatory response that linked to symptom severity and duration. METHODS We performed a nested longitudinal case-control study and targeted analysis of the plasma proteome of 156 healthcare workers (HCW) with and without lab confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Targeted proteomic multiple-reaction monitoring analysis of 91 pre-selected proteins was undertaken in uninfected healthcare workers at baseline, and in infected healthcare workers serially, from 1 week prior to 6 weeks after their first confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Symptom severity and antibody responses were also tracked. Questionnaires at 6 and 12 months collected data on persistent symptoms. FINDINGS Within this cohort (median age 39 years, interquartile range 30-47 years), 54 healthcare workers (44% male) had PCR or antibody confirmed infection, with the remaining 102 (38% male) serving as uninfected controls. Following the first confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, perturbation of the plasma proteome persisted for up to 6 weeks, tracking symptom severity and antibody responses. Differentially abundant proteins were mostly coordinated around lipid, atherosclerosis and cholesterol metabolism pathways, complement and coagulation cascades, autophagy, and lysosomal function. The proteomic profile at the time of seroconversion associated with persistent symptoms out to 12 months. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD036590. INTERPRETATION Our findings show that non-severe SARS-CoV-2 infection perturbs the plasma proteome for at least 6 weeks. The plasma proteomic signature at the time of seroconversion has the potential to identify which individuals are more likely to suffer from persistent symptoms related to SARS-CoV-2 infection. FUNDING INFORMATION The COVIDsortium is supported by funding donated by individuals, charitable Trusts, and corporations including Goldman Sachs, Citadel and Citadel Securities, The Guy Foundation, GW Pharmaceuticals, Kusuma Trust, and Jagclif Charitable Trust, and enabled by Barts Charity with support from University College London Hospitals (UCLH) Charity.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The diagnosis of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM) is contingent on demonstrating apical maximum wall thickness (MWT) of ≥15mm; the same threshold as other HCM subtypes. However, the myocardium naturally tapers towards the apex in healthy individuals, so ≥15mm MWT is proportionately higher in the apex than in naturally thicker basal segments. Using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), relative ApHCM has been described (typical ECG features, loss of apical tapering, cavity obliteration but hypertrophy <15mm). Wall thickness measurement using machine learning now exceeds human performance.
Purpose
We aimed to redefine the optimal diagnostic threshold for ApHCM using segment-specific criteria based on a large cohort of healthy control subjects.
Methods
Segmental wall thickness was measured using healthy subjects from the UK Biobank using a clinically validated machine learning algorithm1,2. A normative reference range was established for all 16 segments, conditioned to body surface area (BSA), sex and age. Derived segment-specific wall thickness thresholds were used to define optimal disease thresholds for patients clinically managed with overt (MWT ≥15mm) and relative ApHCM (MWT <15mm, but typical ECG and imaging findings).
Results
4118 UK biobank subjects were used to define normal segmental thicknesses and reference ranges. These were applied to ApHCM (73 overt, 31 relative). There were no apical wall thickness age related differences. The upper limit of the 95% confidence interval corresponded to a combined maximum apical MWT for both males and females of 10.4mm using non-indexed measurement, or 5.6mm/m2 when indexed to BSA. Non-indexed segmental threshold identified 100% of ApHCM patients (true positives), 81% (25 of 31) relative ApHCM and 3% (115 of 4118) of healthy UK biobank subjects (false positives). Indexed segmental thresholds improved the diagnostic potential in relative ApHCM without an increase in false positives (100% of ApHCM patients, 84% (26 of 31) of relative ApHCM patients, and 3% healthy UK biobank (127 of 4118).
Conclusion
We propose new diagnostic criteria for ApHCM using segmental indexed apical wall thickness of >5.6 mm/m2 to better identify inappropriate apical hypertrophy in those whose wall thickness does not meet current criteria for diagnosis.

Abstract
Determining the protection an individual has to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants of concern (VoCs) is crucial for future immune surveillance, vaccine development, and understanding of the changing immune response. We devised an informative assay to current ELISA-based serology using multiplexed, baited, targeted proteomics for direct detection of multiple proteins in the SARS-CoV-2 anti-spike antibody immunocomplex. Serum from individuals collected after infection or first- and second-dose vaccination demonstrates this approach and shows concordance with existing serology and neutralization. Our assays show altered responses of both immunoglobulins and complement to the Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351), and Delta (B.1.617.1) VoCs and a reduced response to Omicron (B1.1.1529). We were able to identify individuals who had prior infection, and observed that C1q is closely associated with IgG1 (r > 0.82) and may better reflect neutralization to VoCs. Analyzing additional immunoproteins beyond immunoglobulin (Ig) G, provides important information about our understanding of the response to infection and vaccination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone scintigraphy is extremely valuable when assessing patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA), but the clinical significance and associated phenotype of different degrees of cardiac uptake across different types is yet to be defined. OBJECTIVES This study sought to define the phenotypes of patients with varying degrees of cardiac uptake on bone scintigraphy, across multiple types of systemic amyloidosis, using extensive characterization comprising biomarkers as well as echocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. METHODS A total of 296 patients (117 with immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis [AL], 165 with transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis [ATTR], 7 with apolipoprotein AI amyloidosis [AApoAI], and 7 with apolipoprotein AIV amyloidosis [AApoAIV]) underwent deep characterization of their cardiac phenotype. RESULTS AL patients with grade 0 myocardial radiotracer uptake spanned the spectrum of CMR findings from no CA to characteristic CA, whereas AL patients with grades 1 to 3 always produced characteristic CMR features. In ATTR, the CA burden strongly correlated with myocardial tracer uptake, except in Ser77Tyr. AApoAI presented with grade 0 or 1 and disproportionate right-sided involvement. AApoAIV always presented with grade 0 and characteristic CA. AL grade 1 patients (n = 48; 100%) had characteristic CA, whereas only ATTR grade 1 patients with Ser77Tyr had characteristic CA on CMR (n = 5; 11.4%). After exclusion of Ser77Tyr, AApoAI, and AApoAIV, CMR showing characteristic CA or an extracellular volume of >0.40 in patients with grade 0 to 1 cardiac uptake had a sensitivity and specificity of 100% for AL. CONCLUSIONS There is a wide variation in cardiac phenotype between different amyloidosis types across different degrees of cardiac uptake. The combination of CMR and bone scintigraphy can help to define the diagnostic differentials and the clinical phenotype in each individual patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No effective pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions exist for patients with long COVID. We aimed to describe recovery 1 year after hospital discharge for COVID-19, identify factors associated with patient-perceived recovery, and identify potential therapeutic targets by describing the underlying inflammatory profiles of the previously described recovery clusters at 5 months after hospital discharge. METHODS The Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study recruiting adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital with COVID-19 across the UK. Recovery was assessed using patient-reported outcome measures, physical performance, and organ function at 5 months and 1 year after hospital discharge, and stratified by both patient-perceived recovery and recovery cluster. Hierarchical logistic regression modelling was performed for patient-perceived recovery at 1 year. Cluster analysis was done using the clustering large applications k-medoids approach using clinical outcomes at 5 months. Inflammatory protein profiling was analysed from plasma at the 5-month visit. This study is registered on the ISRCTN Registry, ISRCTN10980107, and recruitment is ongoing. FINDINGS 2320 participants discharged from hospital between March 7, 2020, and April 18, 2021, were assessed at 5 months after discharge and 807 (32·7%) participants completed both the 5-month and 1-year visits. 279 (35·6%) of these 807 patients were women and 505 (64·4%) were men, with a mean age of 58·7 (SD 12·5) years, and 224 (27·8%) had received invasive mechanical ventilation (WHO class 7-9). The proportion of patients reporting full recovery was unchanged between 5 months (501 [25·5%] of 1965) and 1 year (232 [28·9%] of 804). Factors associated with being less likely to report full recovery at 1 year were female sex (odds ratio 0·68 [95% CI 0·46-0·99]), obesity (0·50 [0·34-0·74]) and invasive mechanical ventilation (0·42 [0·23-0·76]). Cluster analysis (n=1636) corroborated the previously reported four clusters: very severe, severe, moderate with cognitive impairment, and mild, relating to the severity of physical health, mental health, and cognitive impairment at 5 months. We found increased inflammatory mediators of tissue damage and repair in both the very severe and the moderate with cognitive impairment clusters compared with the mild cluster, including IL-6 concentration, which was increased in both comparisons (n=626 participants). We found a substantial deficit in median EQ-5D-5L utility index from before COVID-19 (retrospective assessment; 0·88 [IQR 0·74-1·00]), at 5 months (0·74 [0·64-0·88]) to 1 year (0·75 [0·62-0·88]), with minimal improvements across all outcome measures at 1 year after discharge in the whole cohort and within each of the four clusters. INTERPRETATION The sequelae of a hospital admission with COVID-19 were substantial 1 year after discharge across a range of health domains, with the minority in our cohort feeling fully recovered. Patient-perceived health-related quality of life was reduced at 1 year compared with before hospital admission. Systematic inflammation and obesity are potential treatable traits that warrant further investigation in clinical trials.

Abstract
AIMS Differentiating exudative from transudative effusions is clinically important and is currently performed via biochemical analysis of invasively obtained samples using Light's criteria. Diagnostic performance is however limited. Biochemical composition can be measured with T1 mapping using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and hence may offer diagnostic utility for assessment of effusions. METHODS AND RESULTS A phantom consisting of serially diluted human albumin solutions (25-200 g/L) was constructed and scanned at 1.5 T to derive the relationship between fluid T1 values and fluid albumin concentration. Native T1 values of pleural and pericardial effusions from 86 patients undergoing clinical CMR studies retrospectively analysed at four tertiary centres. Effusions were classified using Light's criteria where biochemical data was available (n = 55) or clinically in decompensated heart failure patients with presumed transudative effusions (n = 31). Fluid T1 and protein values were inversely correlated both in the phantom (r = -0.992) and clinical samples (r = -0.663, P < 0.0001). T1 values were lower in exudative compared to transudative pleural (3252 ± 207 ms vs. 3596 ± 213 ms, P < 0.0001) and pericardial (2749 ± 373 ms vs. 3337 ± 245 ms, P < 0.0001) effusions. The diagnostic accuracy of T1 mapping for detecting transudates was very good for pleural and excellent for pericardial effusions, respectively [area under the curve 0.88, (95% CI 0.764-0.996), P = 0.001, 79% sensitivity, 89% specificity, and 0.93, (95% CI 0.855-1.000), P < 0.0001, 95% sensitivity; 81% specificity]. CONCLUSION Native T1 values of effusions measured using CMR correlate well with protein concentrations and may be helpful for discriminating between transudates and exudates. This may help focus the requirement for invasive diagnostic sampling, avoiding unnecessary intervention in patients with unequivocal transudative effusions.

Abstract
The Omicron, or Pango lineage B.1.1.529, variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) carries multiple spike mutations with high transmissibility and partial neutralizing antibody (nAb) escape. Vaccinated individuals show protection against severe disease, often attributed to primed cellular immunity. We investigated T and B cell immunity against B.1.1.529 in triple BioNTech BNT162b2 messenger RNA-vaccinated health care workers (HCWs) with different SARS-CoV-2 infection histories. B and T cell immunity against previous variants of concern was enhanced in triple-vaccinated individuals, but the magnitude of T and B cell responses against B.1.1.529 spike protein was reduced. Immune imprinting by infection with the earlier B.1.1.7 (Alpha) variant resulted in less durable binding antibody against B.1.1.529. Previously infection-naïve HCWs who became infected during the B.1.1.529 wave showed enhanced immunity against earlier variants but reduced nAb potency and T cell responses against B.1.1.529 itself. Previous Wuhan Hu-1 infection abrogated T cell recognition and any enhanced cross-reactive neutralizing immunity on infection with B.1.1.529.

Abstract
AIMS Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is an increasingly diagnosed disease. Echocardiography is widely utilized, but studies to confirm the value of echocardiography for tracking changes over time are not available. We sought to describe: (1) changes in multiple echocardiographic parameters; (2) differences in rate of progression of three predominant genotypes; and (3) the ability of changes in echocardiographic parameters to predict prognosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively studied 877 ATTR-CM patients attending our centre between 2000 and 2020. Serial echocardiography findings at baseline, 12-months and 24-months were compared with survival. Five-hundred-and-sixty-five patients had wild-type ATTR-CM and 312 hereditary ATTR-CM (201 with V122I; 90 with T60A).There was progressive worsening of structural and functional parameters over time, patients with V122I ATTR-CM showing more rapid worsening of left and right ventricular structural and functional parameters compared to both wild-type and T60A ATTR-CM. Among a wide range of echocardiographic analyses, including deformation-based parameters, only worsening in the degree of mitral and tricuspid regurgitation (MR and TR) at 12-and 24 month assessments was associated with worse prognosis (change at 12-months: MR, hazard ratio 1.43 (1.14-1.80,p=0.002); TR, hazard ratio 1.38 (1.10-1.75,p=0.006). Worsening in MR remained independently associated with poor prognosis after adjusting for known predictors. CONCLUSION In ATTR-CM, echocardiographic parameters progressively worsen over time. Patients with V122I ATTR-CM demonstrate the most rapid deterioration. Worsening of MR and TR were the only parameters associated with mortality, MR remaining independent after adjusting for known predictors. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarise the role of different imaging techniques for diagnosis and investigation of heart failure in women. RECENT FINDINGS Although sex differences in heart failure are well recognised, and the scope of imaging techniques is expanding, there are currently no specific guidelines for imaging of heart failure in women. Diagnosis and stratification of heart failure is generally performed first line using transthoracic echocardiography. Understanding the aetiology of heart failure is central to ongoing management, and with non-ischaemic causes more common in women, a multimodality approach is generally required using advanced imaging techniques including cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear imaging techniques, and cardiac computed tomography. There are specific considerations for imaging in women including radiation risks and challenges during pregnancy, highlighting the clear unmet need for cardiology and imaging societies to provide imaging guidelines specifically for women with heart failure.

Abstract
In potentially curable cancers, long-term survival depends not only on the successful treatment of the malignancy but also on the risks associated with treatment-related toxicity, especially cardiotoxicity. Malignant lymphomas affect patients at any age, with acute and late toxicity risks that could have a severe effect on morbidity, mortality, and quality of life. Although our understanding of chemotherapy-associated and radiotherapy-associated cardiovascular disease has advanced considerably, new drugs with potential cardiotoxicity have been introduced for the treatment of lymphomas. In this Review, we summarise the mechanisms of treatment-related cardiac injury, available clinical data, and protocols for optimising cardioprotection in lymphomas. We discuss ongoing research strategies to advance our knowledge of the molecular basis of drug-induced and radiation-induced toxicity. Additionally, we emphasise the potential for personalised follow-up and early detection, including the role of biomarkers and novel diagnostic tests, highlighting the role of the cardio-oncology team.

Background
Voltage thresholds for ventricular scar definition are based on historic data collected using catheters with widely spaced bipoles in the absence of contact force. Modern multipolar mapping catheters employ smaller electrodes and interelectrode spacing that theoretically allows for mapping with increased resolution and reduced far-field electrogram (EGM) component. Despite the advancement in technology, historic cut-offs of <0.5mV for dense scar and 0.5-1.5mV for scar borderzone continue to be used in contemporary electrophysiology.
Purpose
We aimed to assess the optimal voltage cut-offs for ventricular scar substrate characterization using the HD Grid multipolar mapping catheter. Voltage cut-offs were assessed against cardiac MRI derived scar. We compared optimal voltage cut-offs using conventional bipolar sampling, the Best Duplicate Algorithm and with the HD wave solution plus best duplicate algorithm on.
Methods
A multicentre study of twenty patients undergoing VT ablation was conducted. Substrate mapping was performed using the high-density HD-grid multipolar mapping catheter. Bipolar voltage maps were co-registered with cardiac MRI obtained prior to the procedure to assess the voltage characteristics of scar defined by cardiac MRI (CMR) (Figure 1). Pre-procedure contrast enhanced CMR data were analysed using ADAS software (Galgo medical). Data points were collected in regions of scar during (1) HD wave mapping with best duplicate algorithm on(Waveon), (2) Mapping with HD wave off and best duplicate on (Waveoff) and (3) with conventional bipolar mapping (Alloff).
Results
The median bipolar voltage for regions of dense CMR scar using (Waveon) HD wave solution and best duplicate algorithm was 0.27mV (IQR 0.14 – 0.46). The median voltage with (Waveoff) HD wave off was 0.29mV (0.15 – 0.45). The median voltage with (Alloff) HD wave off and best duplicate off was 0.32mV (0.19 – 0.5). ROC analysis using AUC suggested the optimal cut-off for endocardial dense scar using (Waveon) HD wave mapping and best duplicate algorithm was 0.30mV (sensitivity: 69.6%, specificity: 60.74%), (Waveoff) cut-off with the best duplicate and without the HD wave mapping was 0.34mV (sensitivity: 69.78%, specificity: 64.46%) and (Alloff) without wave mapping or best duplication was 0.36mV (sensitivity: 84%, specificity: 52%) Figure 2.
Conclusion
Ventricular substrate characterization with newer mapping technology using narrow electrode spacing and smaller electrode size suggests that traditional voltage cut-offs may need revision for delineation of scar characteristics. Additionally, the ability to repeat sample in a region to obtain the best signal (Best Duplicate), and the ability to obviate the effect of wavefront direction using the HD wave solution omnipolar technology, may further increase the fidelity of scar characterization. This has important implications for mapping VT and characterizing channels in order to identify VT circuits.

Background
We have previously developed the sense protocol functional substrate mapping technique for VT ablation(1). However, functional substrate characterizaiton can involve protracted mapping time.
Purpose
We incorporated the integration of MRI data using ADAS-3D software into the mapping workflow, to integrate structural mapping information into the functional mapping substrate characterization, in order to improve procedural efficiency.
Methods
CMRs were performed in 20 patients with ischemic related VT and VT therapy in the previous 6 months. These were processed with the ADAS-3D software to characterize the extent of ventricular scars and also ADAS corridors which may correlate with VT channels. Focused substrate maps were then performed in patients, guided by the extent of ADAS scar and corridors, looking at the scar substrate in intrinsic rhythm and then functional channels using single extra pacing from the RV at 20ms above ERP (SENSE2 Protocol). Specifically healthy areas 2cm beyond the scar borderzone based on ADAS were not mapped, in order to reduce substrate mapping time and complete geometries were not created. Following delineation of functional channels pacemapping and entrainment mapping were used to confirm targets for ablation.
The ADAS 3D MRI was integrated into the into the VT substrate map on Ensite-Precision with alignment to the aorta, RV and PA (Figure 1). We compared our data with previous functional mapping data without the integration of MRI.
Results
20 patients (age 70 years; 19 male subjects) underwent ablation. Mean EF 28%. Median procedure time was 161 minutes compared with 246 minutes (in our previous study)(p=<0.001) Mean substrate mapping time was 32 mins vs 63 mins (p=<0.001). Mean ablation time was 22 mins vs 32 mins (p=0.11). 85% (17 of 20) patients were free from symptomatic VT/ anti-tachycardia pacing or implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks at a median follow-up of 171 days. The mean VT burden was reduced from 22 events per patient in the 6 months’ pre-ablation to 1 event per patient in the median follow up period of 171 days post ablation (p=0.02). Mean shocks per-patient burden decreased from 3.5 to 0.08 in the same time period(p=0.03).
Conclusion
The SENSE2 protocol involves the integration of structural and functional data into the VT workflow for substrate characterization. It enables focused substrate maps to be performed without the need for complete geometry to be created in large ventricles. Outcomes compare favourably with our previous data but with significantly shorter procedure times. This streamlined workflow has the potential to improve care in VT ablation by shortening procedure times with similar outcomes which may reduce risks for the patient.

Abstract
We compared speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and feature tracking cardiovascular magnetic resonance (FT-CMR) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) with a varying extent of fibrosis as defined by late gadolinium enhancement to look at the level of agreement between methods and their ability to relate those to myocardial fibrosis. At 2 reference centers, 79 patients with HC and 16 volunteers (the control group) underwent STE and CMR with late gadolinium enhancement and FT-CMR. Patients were classified into 3 categories: no detectable, limited, and extensive fibrosis. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global radial strain (GRS) were derived using FT-CMR and STE. STE-derived GRS was decreased in all HC categories compared with the control group (p <0.001), whereas FT-CMR GRS was reduced only in patients with HC with fibrosis (p <0.05). Reduced STE-derived GLS was associated with extensive fibrosis (p <0.05) and a value less than -15.2% identified those with extensive fibrosis (sensitivity 79%, specificity 92%, area under the curve 0.863, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.76 to 0.97, p <0.001). Inter-modality agreement was moderate for STE versus CMR-GLS (overall population intra-class correlation coefficient = 0.615, 95% CI 0.42 to 0.75, p <0.001; patients with HC 0.63, 0.42 to 0.76, p <0.001) and GRS (overall population intra-class correlation coefficient = 0.601, 95% CI 0.397 to 0.735, p <0.001). A low level of agreement for GRS was seen between methods in patients with HC. In conclusion, strain indexes measured using echocardiography and CMR are reduced in patients with HC compared with the control group and correlate well with the burden of myocardial fibrosis. Reduced STE-GLS can identify patients with extensive fibrosis, but whether there is an added value for risk stratification for sudden cardiac death remains to be determined.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 infection results in different outcomes ranging from asymptomatic infection to mild or severe disease and death. Reasons for this diversity of outcome include differences in challenge dose, age, gender, comorbidity and host genomic variation. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) polymorphisms may influence immune response and disease outcome. We investigated the association of HLAII alleles with case definition symptomatic COVID-19, virus-specific antibody and T-cell immunity. A total of 1364 UK healthcare workers (HCWs) were recruited during the first UK SARS-CoV-2 wave and analysed longitudinally, encompassing regular PCR screening for infection, symptom reporting, imputation of HLAII genotype and analysis for antibody and T-cell responses to nucleoprotein (N) and spike (S). Of 272 (20%) HCW who seroconverted, the presence of HLA-DRB1*13:02 was associated with a 6·7-fold increased risk of case definition symptomatic COVID-19. In terms of immune responsiveness, HLA-DRB1*15:02 was associated with lower nucleocapsid T-cell responses. There was no association between DRB1 alleles and anti-spike antibody titres after two COVID vaccine doses. However, HLA DRB1*15:01 was associated with increased spike T-cell responses following both first and second dose vaccination. Trial registration: NCT04318314 and ISRCTN15677965.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery typically have complex coronary disease and remain at high risk of adverse events. Quantitative myocardial perfusion indices predict outcomes in native vessel disease, but their prognostic performance in patients with prior CABG is unknown. OBJECTIVES In this study, we sought to evaluate whether global stress myocardial blood flow (MBF) and perfusion reserve (MPR) derived from perfusion mapping cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) independently predict adverse outcomes in patients with prior CABG. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients with prior CABG referred for adenosine stress perfusion CMR. Perfusion mapping was performed in-line with automated quantification of MBF. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events defined as nonfatal myocardial infarction and unplanned revascularization. Associations were evaluated with the use of Cox proportional hazards models after adjusting for comorbidities and CMR parameters. RESULTS A total of 341 patients (median age 67 years, 86% male) were included. Over a median follow-up of 638 days (IQR: 367-976 days), 81 patients (24%) reached the primary outcome. Both stress MBF and MPR independently predicted outcomes after adjusting for known prognostic factors (regional ischemia, infarction). The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for 1 mL/g/min of decrease in stress MBF was 2.56 (95% CI: 1.45-4.35) and for 1 unit of decrease in MPR was 1.61 (95% CI: 1.08-2.38). CONCLUSIONS Global stress MBF and MPR derived from perfusion CMR independently predict adverse outcomes in patients with previous CABG. This effect is independent from the presence of regional ischemia on visual assessment and the extent of previous infarction.

Abstract
Effective control of SARS-CoV-2 infection on primary exposure may reveal correlates of protective immunity to future variants, but we lack insights into immune responses before or at the time virus is first detected. We use blood transcriptomics, multiparameter flow cytometry, and T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing spanning the time of incident non-severe infection in unvaccinated virus-naive individuals to identify rapid type 1 interferon (IFN) responses common to other acute respiratory viruses and cell proliferation responses that discriminate SARS-CoV-2 from other viruses. These peak by the time the virus is first detected and sometimes precede virus detection. Cell proliferation is most evident in CD8 T cells and associated with specific expansion of SARS-CoV-2-reactive TCRs, in contrast to virus-specific antibodies, which lag by 1-2 weeks. Our data support a protective role for early type 1 IFN and CD8 T cell responses, with implications for development of universal T cell vaccines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Measurement of cardiac structure and function from images (e.g. volumes, mass and derived parameters such as left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction [LVEF]) guides care for millions. This is best assessed using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), but image analysis is currently performed by individual clinicians, which introduces error. We sought to develop a machine learning algorithm for volumetric analysis of CMR images with demonstrably better precision than human analysis. METHODS A fully automated machine learning algorithm was trained on 1923 scans (10 scanner models, 13 institutions, 9 clinical conditions, 60,000 contours) and used to segment the LV blood volume and myocardium. Performance was quantified by measuring precision on an independent multi-site validation dataset with multiple pathologies with n = 109 patients, scanned twice. This dataset was augmented with a further 1277 patients scanned as part of routine clinical care to allow qualitative assessment of generalization ability by identifying mis-segmentations. Machine learning algorithm ('machine') performance was compared to three clinicians ('human') and a commercial tool (cvi42, Circle Cardiovascular Imaging). FINDINGS Machine analysis was quicker (20 s per patient) than human (13 min). Overall machine mis-segmentation rate was 1 in 479 images for the combined dataset, occurring mostly in rare pathologies not encountered in training. Without correcting these mis-segmentations, machine analysis had superior precision to three clinicians (e.g. scan-rescan coefficients of variation of human vs machine: LVEF 6.0% vs 4.2%, LV mass 4.8% vs. 3.6%; both P < 0.05), translating to a 46% reduction in required trial sample size using an LVEF endpoint. CONCLUSION We present a fully automated algorithm for measuring LV structure and global systolic function that betters human performance for speed and precision.

Abstract
Background Global longitudinal shortening (GL-Shortening) and the mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) are known markers in heart failure patients, but measurement may be subjective and less frequently reported because of the lack of automated analysis. Therefore, a validated, automated artificial intelligence (AI) solution can be of strong clinical interest. Methods and Results The model was implemented on cardiac magnetic resonance scanners with automated in-line processing. Reproducibility was evaluated in a scan-rescan data set (n=160 patients). The prognostic association with adverse events (death or hospitalization for heart failure) was evaluated in a large patient cohort (n=1572) and compared with feature tracking global longitudinal strain measured manually by experts. Automated processing took ≈1.1 seconds for a typical case. On the scan-rescan data set, the model exceeded the precision of human expert (coefficient of variation 7.2% versus 11.1% for GL-Shortening, P=0.0024; 6.5% versus 9.1% for MAPSE, P=0.0124). The minimal detectable change at 90% power was 2.53 percentage points for GL-Shortening and 1.84 mm for MAPSE. AI GL-Shortening correlated well with manual global longitudinal strain (R2=0.85). AI MAPSE had the strongest association with outcomes (χ2, 255; hazard ratio [HR], 2.5 [95% CI, 2.2-2.8]), compared with AI GL-Shortening (χ2, 197; HR, 2.1 [95% CI,1.9-2.4]), manual global longitudinal strain (χ2, 192; HR, 2.1 [95% CI, 1.9-2.3]), and left ventricular ejection fraction (χ2, 147; HR, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.6-1.9]), with P<0.001 for all. Conclusions Automated in-line AI-measured MAPSE and GL-Shortening can deliver immediate and highly reproducible results during cardiac magnetic resonance scanning. These results have strong associations with adverse outcomes that exceed those of global longitudinal strain and left ventricular ejection fraction.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the impact of a simplified, rapid cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) protocol embedded in care and supported by a partner education programme on the management of cardiomyopathy (CMP) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). METHODS AND RESULTS Rapid CMR focused particularly on CMP was implemented in 11 centres, 7 cities, 5 countries, and 3 continents linked to training courses for local professionals. Patients were followed up for 24 months to assess impact. The rate of subsequent adoption was tracked. Five CMR conferences were delivered (920 attendees-potential referrers, radiographers, reporting cardiologists, or radiologists) and five new centres starting CMR. Six hundred and one patients were scanned. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance indications were 24% non-contrast T2* scans [myocardial iron overload (MIO)] and 72% suspected/known cardiomyopathies (including ischaemic and viability). Ninety-eighty per cent of studies were of diagnostic quality. The average scan time was 22 ± 6 min (contrast) and 12 ± 4 min (non-contrast), a potential cost/throughput reduction of between 30 and 60%. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance findings impacted management in 62%, including a new diagnosis in 22% and MIO detected in 30% of non-contrast scans. Nine centres continued using rapid CMR 2 years later (typically 1-2 days per week, 30 min slots). CONCLUSIONS Rapid CMR of diagnostic quality can be delivered using available technology in LMICs. When embedded in care and a training programme, costs are lower, care is improved, and services can be sustained over time.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the performance and limitations of low-voltage zones (LVZ) localization by optimized late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) scar imaging in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). BACKGROUND Scar evaluation by LGE-CMR can assist ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation, but challenges with electroanatomical maps coregistration and presence of imaging artefacts from CIED limit accuracy. METHODS A total of 10 patients underwent VT ablation and preprocedural LGE-CMR using wideband imaging. Scar was segmented from CMR pixel signal intensity maps using commercial software (ADAS-VT, Galgo Medical) with bespoke tools and compared with detailed electroanatomical maps (CARTO). Coregistration of EP and imaging-derived scar was performed using the aorta as a fiducial marker, and the impact of coregistration was determined by assessing intraobserver/interobserver variability and using computer simulations. Spatial smoothing was applied to assess correlation at different spatial resolutions and to reduce noise. RESULTS Pixel signal intensity maps localized low-voltage zones (V <1.5 mV) with area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve: 0.82 (interquartile range [IQR]: 0.76-0.83), sensitivity 74% (IQR: 71%-77%), and specificity 78% (IQR: 73%-83%) and correlated with bipolar voltage (r = -0.57 [IQR: -0.68 to -0.42]) across patients. In simulations, small random shifts and rotations worsened LVZ localization in at least some cases. The use of the full aortic geometry ensured high reproducibility of LVZ localization (r >0.86 for area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve). Spatial smoothing improved localization of LVZ. Results for LVZ with V <0.5 mV were similar. CONCLUSIONS In patients with CIEDs, novel wideband CMR sequences and personalized coregistration strategies can localize LVZ with good accuracy and may assist VT ablation procedures.

Abstract
The impact of the initial severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infecting strain on downstream immunity to heterologous variants of concern (VOCs) is unknown. Studying a longitudinal healthcare worker cohort, we found that after three antigen exposures (infection plus two vaccine doses), S1 antibody, memory B cells, and heterologous neutralization of B.1.351, P.1, and B.1.617.2 plateaued, whereas B.1.1.7 neutralization and spike T cell responses increased. Serology using the Wuhan Hu-1 spike receptor binding domain poorly predicted neutralizing immunity against VOCs. Neutralization potency against VOCs changed with heterologous virus encounter and number of antigen exposures. Neutralization potency fell differentially depending on targeted VOCs over the 5 months from the second vaccine dose. Heterologous combinations of spike encountered during infection and vaccination shape subsequent cross-protection against VOC, with implications for future-proof next-generation vaccines.

Abstract
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery effectively relieves symptoms and improves outcomes. However, patients undergoing CABG surgery typically have advanced coronary atherosclerotic disease and remain at high risk for symptom recurrence and adverse events. Functional non-invasive testing for ischaemia is commonly used as a gatekeeper for invasive coronary and graft angiography, and for guiding subsequent revascularisation decisions. However, performing and interpreting non-invasive ischaemia testing in patients post CABG is challenging, irrespective of the imaging modality used. Multiple factors including advanced multi-vessel native vessel disease, variability in coronary hemodynamics post-surgery, differences in graft lengths and vasomotor properties, and complex myocardial scar morphology are only some of the pathophysiological mechanisms that complicate ischaemia evaluation in this patient population. Systematic assessment of the impact of these challenges in relation to each imaging modality may help optimize diagnostic test selection by incorporating clinical information and individual patient characteristics. At the same time, recent technological advances in cardiac imaging including improvements in image quality, wider availability of quantitative techniques for measuring myocardial blood flow and the introduction of artificial intelligence-based approaches for image analysis offer the opportunity to re-evaluate the value of ischaemia testing, providing new insights into the pathophysiological processes that determine outcomes in this patient population.

Abstract
Individuals with potential exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) do not necessarily develop PCR or antibody positivity, suggesting that some individuals may clear subclinical infection before seroconversion. T cells can contribute to the rapid clearance of SARS-CoV-2 and other coronavirus infections1-3. Here we hypothesize that pre-existing memory T cell responses, with cross-protective potential against SARS-CoV-2 (refs. 4-11), would expand in vivo to support rapid viral control, aborting infection. We measured SARS-CoV-2-reactive T cells, including those against the early transcribed replication-transcription complex (RTC)12,13, in intensively monitored healthcare workers (HCWs) who tested repeatedly negative according to PCR, antibody binding and neutralization assays (seronegative HCWs (SN-HCWs)). SN-HCWs had stronger, more multispecific memory T cells compared with a cohort of unexposed individuals from before the pandemic (prepandemic cohort), and these cells were more frequently directed against the RTC than the structural-protein-dominated responses observed after detectable infection (matched concurrent cohort). SN-HCWs with the strongest RTC-specific T cells had an increase in IFI27, a robust early innate signature of SARS-CoV-2 (ref. 14), suggesting abortive infection. RNA polymerase within RTC was the largest region of high sequence conservation across human seasonal coronaviruses (HCoV) and SARS-CoV-2 clades. RNA polymerase was preferentially targeted (among the regions tested) by T cells from prepandemic cohorts and SN-HCWs. RTC-epitope-specific T cells that cross-recognized HCoV variants were identified in SN-HCWs. Enriched pre-existing RNA-polymerase-specific T cells expanded in vivo to preferentially accumulate in the memory response after putative abortive compared to overt SARS-CoV-2 infection. Our data highlight RTC-specific T cells as targets for vaccines against endemic and emerging Coronaviridae.

Myocardial Perfusion Imaging After Severe COVID-19 Infection Demonstrates Regional Ischemia Rather Than Global Blood Flow Reduction. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:764599. [PMID: 34950713 PMCID: PMC8688537 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.764599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
Background: Acute myocardial damage is common in severe COVID-19. Post-mortem studies have implicated microvascular thrombosis, with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) demonstrating a high prevalence of myocardial infarction and myocarditis-like scar. The microcirculatory sequelae are incompletely characterized. Perfusion CMR can quantify the stress myocardial blood flow (MBF) and identify its association with infarction and myocarditis. Objectives: To determine the impact of the severe hospitalized COVID-19 on global and regional myocardial perfusion in recovered patients. Methods: A case-control study of previously hospitalized, troponin-positive COVID-19 patients was undertaken. The results were compared with a propensity-matched, pre-COVID chest pain cohort (referred for clinical CMR; angiography subsequently demonstrating unobstructed coronary arteries) and 27 healthy volunteers (HV). The analysis used visual assessment for the regional perfusion defects and AI-based segmentation to derive the global and regional stress and rest MBF. Results: Ninety recovered post-COVID patients {median age 64 [interquartile range (IQR) 54-71] years, 83% male, 44% requiring the intensive care unit (ICU)} underwent adenosine-stress perfusion CMR at a median of 61 (IQR 29-146) days post-discharge. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 67 ± 10%; 10 (11%) with impaired LVEF. Fifty patients (56%) had late gadolinium enhancement (LGE); 15 (17%) had infarct-pattern, 31 (34%) had non-ischemic, and 4 (4.4%) had mixed pattern LGE. Thirty-two patients (36%) had adenosine-induced regional perfusion defects, 26 out of 32 with at least one segment without prior infarction. The global stress MBF in post-COVID patients was similar to the age-, sex- and co-morbidities of the matched controls (2.53 ± 0.77 vs. 2.52 ± 0.79 ml/g/min, p = 0.10), though lower than HV (3.00 ± 0.76 ml/g/min, p< 0.01). Conclusions: After severe hospitalized COVID-19 infection, patients who attended clinical ischemia testing had little evidence of significant microvascular disease at 2 months post-discharge. The high prevalence of regional inducible ischemia and/or infarction (nearly 40%) may suggest that occult coronary disease is an important putative mechanism for troponin elevation in this cohort. This should be considered hypothesis-generating for future studies which combine ischemia and anatomical assessment.
