Item Approach To Optimal Assessment Of Right Ventricular Remodelling In Heart Transplant Recipients: Insights From Myocardial Work Index, T1 Mapping, And Endomyocardial Biopsy(2023) Colak, Ayse; Duzgun, Selin Ardali; Hazirolan, Tuncay; Sezgin, Atilla; Donal, Erwan; Butcher, Steele C.; Ozdemir, Handan; Pirat, Bahar; Eroglu, Serpil; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; Sade, Leyla Elif; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7528-3557; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3737-8595; 35666833; X-8540-2019; AAQ-7583-2021Aims Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is an important cause of graft failure after heart transplantation (HTx). We sought to investigate relative merits of echocardiographic tools and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with T1 mapping for the assessment of functional adaptation and remodelling of the RV in HTx recipients. Methods and results Sixty-one complete data set of echocardiography, CMR, right heart catheterization, and biopsy were obtained. Myocardial work index (MWI) was quantified by integrating longitudinal strain (LS) with invasively measured pulmonary artery pressure. CMR derived RV volumes, T1 time, and extracellular volume (ECV) were quantified. Endomyocardial biopsy findings were used as the reference standard for myocardial microstructural changes. In HTx recipients who never had a previous allograft rejection, longitudinal function parameters were lower than healthy organ donors, while ejection fraction (EF) (52.0 +/- 8.7%) and MWI (403.2 +/- 77.2 mmHg%) were preserved. Rejection was characterized by significantly reduced LS, MWI, longer T1 time, and increased ECV that improved after recovery, whereas RV volumes and EF did not change MWI was the strongest determinant of rejection related myocardial damage (area under curve: 0.812, P < 0.0001, 95% CI: 0.69-0.94) with good specificity (77%), albeit modest sensitivity. In contrast, T1 time and ECV were sensitive (84%, both) but not specific to detect subclinical RV damage. Conclusion Subclinical adaptive RV remodelling is characterized by preserved RV EF despite longitudinal function abnormalities, except for MWI. While ultrastructural damage is reflected by MWI, ECV, and T1 time, only MWI has the capability to discriminate functional adaptation from transition to subclinical structural damage.Item The year 2020 in the European Heart Journal-Cardiovascular Imaging: part II(2021) Cosyns, Bernard; Sade, Leyla Elif; Gerber, Bernhard L.; Gimelli, Alessia; Muraru, Denisa; Maurer, Gerald; Edvardsen, Thor; 34718480The European Heart Journal-Cardiovascular Imaging was launched in 2012 and has during these years become one of the leading multimodality cardiovascular imaging journal. The journal is now established as one of the top cardiovascular journals and is the most important cardiovascular imaging journal in Europe. The most important studies published in our Journal from 2020 will be highlighted in two reports. Part II will focus on valvular heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathies, and congenital heart disease. While Part I of the review has focused on studies about myocardial function and risk prediction, myocardial ischaemia, and emerging techniques in cardiovascular imaging.Item Comparison of MOLLI and ShMOLLI in Terms of T1 Reactivity and the Relationship between T1 Reactivity and Conventional Signs of Response during Adenosine Stress Perfusion CMR(2020) Gezmis, Esin; Peebles, Charles; Flett, Andrew; Abbas, Ausami; Harden, Stephen; Shambrook, James; 0000-0002-1001-6028; 32319279; AAE-8301-2021Background: One of the most important techniques of cardiac magnetic resonance in assessment of coronary heart diseases is adenosine stress myocardial first-pass perfusion imaging. Using this imaging method, there should be an adequate response to the drug adenosine to make an accurate evaluation. The conventional signs of drug response are not always observed and are often subjective. Methods based on splenic perfusion might possess limitations as well. Therethre, T1 mapping presents as a novel, quantitative and reliable method. There are several studies analyzing this newly discovered property of different T1 mapping sequences. However most of these studies are enrolling only one of the techniques. Aims: To compare modified look-locker inversion recovery and shortened modified look-locker inversion recovery sequences in terms of T1 reactivity and to determine the relationship between T1 reactivity and conventional stress adequacy assessment methods in adenosine stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance. Study Design: A cross-sectional study using STARD reporting guideline. Methods: Thirty-tbur consecutive patients, who were referred for adenosine stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance with suspect of myocardial ischemia, were prospectively enrolled into the study. Four patients were disqualified, and thirty patients were included in the final analysis. Using both modified look-locker inversion recovery and shortened modified look-locker inversion recovery, midventricular short axis slices of T1 maps were acquired at rest and dining peak adenosine stress before gadolinium administration. Then, they were divided into six segments according to the 17-segment model proposed by the American Heart Association, and separate measurements were made from each segment. Mean rest and mean stress T1 values of remote, ischemic, and infarcted myocardium were calculated individually per subject. During adenosine administration. patients' heart rates and blood pressures are measured and recorded every one minute. Adenosine stress perfusion images were examined for the presence of splenic switch-off. Results: There was a significant difference between rest and stress T1 values of remote myocardium in both modified look-locker inversion recovery and shortened modified look-locker inversion recovery (p<0.001). In both modified look-locker inversion recovery and shortened modified look-locker inversion recovery there was no significant correlation between T1 reactivity and heart rates response (modified look-locker inversion recovery p=0.30, shortened modified look-locker inversion recovery p=0.10), blood pressures response (modified look-locker inversion recovery p=0.062, shortened modified look-locker inversion recovery p=0.078), splenic perfusion (modified look-locker inversion recovery p=0.35, shortened modified look-locker inversion recovery p=0.053). There was no statistically significant difference between modified look-locker inversion recovery and shortened modified look-locker inversion recovery regarding Ti reactivity of remote (p=0.330), ischemic (p=0.068), and infarcted (p=0.116) myocardium. Conclusion: T1 reactivity is independent of the other stress response signs and modified look-locker inversion recovery and shortened modified look-locker inversion recovery do not differ in terms of T1 reactivity.Item T1 Mapping by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and Multidimensional Speckle-Tracking Strain by Echocardiography for the Detection of Acute Cellular Rejection in Cardiac Allograft Recipients(2019) Sade, Leyla Elif; Hazirolan, Tuncay; Kozan, Hatice; Ozdemir, Handan; Hayran, Mutlu; Eroglu, Serpil; Pirat, Bahar; Sezgin, Atilla; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; 29680337; X-8540-2019OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that echocardiographic strain imaging, by tracking subtle alterations in myocardial function, and cardiac magnetic resonance T1 mapping, by quantifying tissue properties, are useful and complement each other to detect acute cellular rejection in heart transplant recipients. BACKGROUND Noninvasive alternatives to endomyocardial biopsy are highly desirable to monitor acute cellular rejection. METHODS Surveillance endomyocardial biopsies, catheterizations, and echocardiograms performed serially according to institutional protocol since transplantation were retrospectively reviewed. Sixteen-segment global longitudinal strain (GLS) and circumferential strain were measured before, during, and after the first rejection and at 2 time points for patients without rejection using Velocity Vector Imaging for the first part of the study. The second part, with cardiac magnetic resonance added to the protocol, served to validate previously derived strain cutoffs, examine the progression of strain over time, and to determine the accuracy of strain and T1 measurements to define acute cellular rejection. All tests were performed within 48 h. RESULTS Median time to first rejection (16 grade 1 rejection, 15 grade >= 2 rejection) was 3 months (interquartile range: 3 to 36 months) in 49 patients. GLS and global circumferential strain worsened significantly during grade 1 rejection and >= 2 rejection and were independent predictors of any rejection. In the second part of the study, T1 time >= 1,090 ms, extracellutar volume GLS >= 32%, GLS >-14%, and global circumferential strain >=-24% had 100% sensitivity and 100% negative predictive value to define grade >= 2 rejection with 70%, 63%, 55%, and 35% positive predictive values, respectively. The combination of GLS > 16% and T1 time >= 1,060 ms defined grade 1 rejection with 91% sensitivity and 92% negative predictive value. After successful treatment, T1 times decreased significantly. CONCLUSIONS T1 mapping and echocardiographic GLS can serve to guide endomyocardial biopsy selectively. (C) 2019 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation.
