@article{Ferreira2018, abstract = "PURPOSE To evaluate the importance of strain-correcting stimulated echo acquisition mode echo-planar imaging cardiac diffusion tensor imaging. METHODS Healthy pigs (n = 11) were successfully scanned with a 3D cine displacement-encoded imaging with stimulated echoes and a monopolar-stimulated echo-planar imaging diffusion tensor imaging sequence at 3 T during diastasis, peak systole, and strain sweet spots in a midventricular short-axis slice. The same diffusion tensor imaging sequence was repeated ex vivo after arresting the hearts in either a relaxed (KCl-induced) or contracted (BaCl2-induced) state. The displacement-encoded imaging with stimulated echoes data were used to strain-correct the in vivo cardiac diffusion tensor imaging in diastole and systole. The orientation of the primary (helix angles) and secondary (E2A) diffusion eigenvectors was compared with and without strain correction and to the strain-free ex vivo data. RESULTS Strain correction reduces systolic E2A significantly when compared without strain correction and ex vivo (median absolute E2A = 34.3° versus E2A = 57.1° (P = 0.01), E2A = 60.5° (P = 0.006), respectively). The systolic distribution of E2A without strain correction is closer to the contracted ex vivo distribution than with strain correction, root mean square deviation of 0.027 versus 0.038. CONCLUSIONS The current strain-correction model amplifies the contribution of microscopic strain to diffusion resulting in an overcorrection of E2A. Results show that a new model that considers cellular rearrangement is required.

@article{Vassiliou2018, abstract = "OBJECTIVES Our objectives involved identifying whether repeated averaging in basal and mid left ventricular myocardial levels improves precision and correlation with collagen volume fraction for 11 heartbeat MOLLI T1mapping versus assessment at a single ventricular level. MATERIALS AND METHODS For assessment of T1mapping precision, a cohort of 15 healthy volunteers underwent two CMR scans on separate days using an 11 heartbeat MOLLI with a 5(3)3 beat scheme to measure native T1and a 4(1)3(1)2 beat post-contrast scheme to measure post-contrast T1, allowing calculation of partition coefficient and ECV. To assess correlation of T1mapping with collagen volume fraction, a separate cohort of ten aortic stenosis patients scheduled to undergo surgery underwent one CMR scan with this 11 heartbeat MOLLI scheme, followed by intraoperative tru-cut myocardial biopsy. Six models of myocardial diffuse fibrosis assessment were established with incremental inclusion of imaging by averaging of the basal and mid-myocardial left ventricular levels, and each model was assessed for precision and correlation with collagen volume fraction. RESULTS A model using 11 heart beat MOLLI imaging of two basal and two mid ventricular level averaged T1maps provided improved precision (Intraclass correlation 0.93 vs 0.84) and correlation with histology (R2 = 0.83 vs 0.36) for diffuse fibrosis compared to a single mid-ventricular level alone. ECV was more precise and correlated better than native T1mapping.

A feasibility and safety study of intracoronary hemodilution during primary coronary angioplasty in order to reduce reperfusion injury in myocardial infarction.

@article{McGarvey2018, abstract = "OBJECTIVES We designed a pilot study to evaluate safety and feasibility of an inexpensive and simple approach to intracoronary hemodilution during primary angioplasty (PPCI) to reduce reperfusion injury. INTRODUCTION Early revascularization in acute myocardial infarction decreases infarct size and improves outcomes. However, abrupt restoration of coronary flow results in myocardial reperfusion injury and increased final infarct size. Dilution of coronary blood during revascularization may help reduce this damage. If proved effective, such an approach would need to be simple and suitable for widespread adoption. METHODS Ten patients presenting with STEMI underwent intracoronary dilution with room temperature Hartmann's solution delivered through the guiding catheter during primary angioplasty (PPCI). Infusion of perfusate began prior to crossing the occluded artery with the guidewire, continuing until 10 min after completion of the balloon and stenting procedure. Infusion was briefly interrupted for contrast injection and pressure monitoring. The outcome measures were safety, including intracoronary temperature reduction and volume of intracoronary perfusate infused, and technical feasibility. RESULTS There were no significant symptomatic, hemodynamic, ECG ST/T segment or rhythm changes observed during perfusate administration. The median (interquartile range) volume of perfusate administered was 550 mL (350-725 mL) and the median intracoronary temperature reduction observed was 3.4°Celsius. Myocardial salvage was 0.54 (0.43-0.65). CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter intracoronary hemodilution with room temperature perfusate during PPCI is feasible and appears safe. Such a strategy is simple and inexpensive, with potential to be widely applied. Further mechanistic and subsequent outcome powered studies are required to evaluate whether this strategy can reduce reperfusion injury in STEMI.", author = "McGarvey, Michael and Ali, Omar and Iqbal, M.

@article{Kirk2017, abstract = "BACKGROUND Heart failure related to cardiac siderosis remains a major cause of death in transfusion dependent anaemias. Replacement fibrosis has been reported as causative of heart failure in siderotic cardiomyopathy in historical reports, but these findings do not accord with the reversible nature of siderotic heart failure achievable with intensive iron chelation. METHODS Ten whole human hearts (9 beta-thalassemia major, 1 sideroblastic anaemia) were examined for iron loading and fibrosis (replacement and interstitial). Five had died from heart failure, 4 had cardiac transplantation for heart failure, and 1 had no heart failure (death from a stroke). Heart samples iron content was measured using atomic emission spectroscopy. Interstitial fibrosis was quantified by computer using picrosirius red (PSR) staining and expressed as collagen volume fraction (CVF) with normal value for left ventricle {\textless}3{\%}. RESULTS The 9 hearts affected by heart failure had severe iron loading with very low T2* of 5.0 ± 2.0 ms (iron concentration 8.5 ± 7.0 mg/g dw) and diffuse granular myocardial iron deposition. In none of the 10 hearts was significant macroscopic replacement fibrosis present. In only 2 hearts was interstitial fibrosis present, but with low CVF: in one patient with no cardiac siderosis (death by stroke, CVF 5.9{\%}) and in a heart failure patient (CVF 2{\%}). In the remaining 8 patients, no interstitial fibrosis was seen despite all having severe cardiac siderosis and heart failure (CVF 1.86{\%} ±0.87{\%}). CONCLUSION Replacement cardiac fibrosis was not seen in the 9 post-mortem hearts from patients with severe cardiac siderosis and heart failure leading to death or transplantation, which contrasts markedly to historical reports. Minor interstitial fibrosis was also unusual and very limited in extent. These findings accord with the potential for reversibility of heart failure seen in iron overload cardiomyopathy.

However, data on the rate of ventricular structural and functional adaptation are scarce. We aimed to assess immediate and midterm post-PVR changes and predictors of reverse remoeling. METHODS Fifty-seven patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (age ≥16 y; mean age, 35.8±10.1 y; 38 male) undergoing PVR were prospectively recruited for cardiovascular magnetic resonance performed before PVR (pPVR), immediately after PVR (median, 6 d), and midterm after PVR (mPVR; median, 3 y). RESULTS There were immediate and midterm reductions in indexed RV end-diastolic volumes and RV end-systolic volumes (RVESVi) (indexed RV end-diastolic volume pPVR versus immediately after PVR versus mPVR, 156.1±41.9 versus 104.9±28.4 versus 104.2±34.4 mL/m2; RVESVi pPVR versus immediately after PVR versus mPVR, 74.9±26.2 versus 57.4±22.7 versus 50.5±21.7 mL/m2;P{\textless}0.01). Normal postoperative diastolic and systolic RV volumes (the primary end point) achieved in 70{\%} of patients were predicted by a preoperative indexed RV end-diastolic volume ≤158 mL/m2and RVESVi ≤82 mL/m2. RVESVi showed a progressive decrease from baseline to immediate to midterm follow-up, indicating ongoing intrinsic RV functional improvement after PVR. Left ventricular ejection fraction improved (pPVR versus mPVR, 59.4±7.6{\%} versus 61.9±6.8{\%};P{\textless}0.01), and right atrial reverse remodeling occurred (pPVR versus mPVR, 15.2±3.4 versus 13.8±3.6 cm2/m2;P{\textless}0.01). Larger preoperative RV outflow tract scar was associated with a smaller improvement in post-PVR RV/left ventricular ejection fraction. RV ejection fraction and peak oxygen uptake predicted mortality (P=0.03) over a median of 9.5 years of follow-up.

Lipoprotein(a) in patients with aortic stenosis: Insights from cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

@article{Vassiliou2017, abstract = "BACKGROUND Aortic stenosis is the most common age-related valvular pathology. Patients with aortic stenosis and myocardial fibrosis have worse outcome but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Lipoprotein(a) is associated with adverse cardiovascular risk and is elevated in patients with aortic stenosis. Although mechanistic pathways could link Lipoprotein(a) with myocardial fibrosis, whether the two are related has not been previously explored. In this study, we investigated whether elevated Lipoprotein(a) was associated with the presence of myocardial replacement fibrosis. METHODS A total of 110 patients with mild, moderate and severe aortic stenosis were assessed by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance to identify fibrosis. Mann Whitney U tests were used to assess for evidence of an association between Lp(a) and the presence or absence of myocardial fibrosis and aortic stenosis severity and compared to controls. Univariable and multivariable linear regression analysis were undertaken to identify possible predictors of Lp(a). RESULTS Thirty-six patients (32.7{\%}) had no LGE enhancement, 38 (34.6{\%}) had midwall enhancement suggestive of midwall fibrosis and 36 (32.7{\%}) patients had subendocardial myocardial fibrosis, typical of infarction. The aortic stenosis patients had higher Lp(a) values than controls, however, there was no significant difference between the Lp(a) level in mild, moderate or severe aortic stenosis. No association was observed between midwall or infarction pattern fibrosis and Lipoprotein(a), in the mild/moderate stenosis (p = 0.91) or severe stenosis patients (p = 0.42).

@article{Cauldwell2017, abstract = "BACKGROUND The aim was to assess whether cardiovascular adaptation to pregnancy in women with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) adversely affects hemodynamic stability, in particular with respect to right ventricular (RV) dilatation, pulmonary regurgitation, or aortic root dilatation. METHODS AND RESULTS This was a retrospective cohort study of women with repaired TOF with paired cardiovascular magnetic resonance scans before and after their first pregnancy (baseline RV end systolic volume index 49 mL/m2and RV end diastolic volume index 118 mL/m2) matched with a comparison group of nulliparous women with TOF. Cases were matched for age at baseline cardiovascular magnetic resonance scan, time between follow-up of cardiovascular magnetic resonance scans, QRS duration, RV ejection fraction, and indexed RV end systolic and diastolic volume at baseline. Effect of pregnancy and time on parameters was assessed using mixed-effects modelling. Nineteen women with repaired TOF who had completed their first pregnancy were identified and matched with 38 nulliparous women. We observed no deleterious effects of pregnancy on RV volumes, aortic dimensions, or exercise data.

@article{Halliday2017, abstract = "BACKGROUND Current guidelines only recommend the use of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in those with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) {\textless}35{\%}. However, registries of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests demonstrate that 70{\%} to 80{\%} of such patients have an LVEF {\textgreater}35{\%}. Patients with an LVEF {\textgreater}35{\%} also have low competing risks of death from nonsudden causes. Therefore, those at high risk of SCD may gain longevity from successful implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy. We investigated whether late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance identified patients with dilated cardiomyopathy without severe LV systolic dysfunction at high risk of SCD. METHODS We prospectively investigated the association between midwall LGE and the prespecified primary composite outcome of SCD or aborted SCD among consecutive referrals with dilated cardiomyopathy and an LVEF ≥40{\%} to our center between January 2000 and December 2011 who did not have a preexisting indication for implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation. RESULTS Of 399 patients (145 women, median age 50 years, median LVEF 50{\%}, 25.3{\%} with LGE) followed for a median of 4.6 years, 18 of 101 (17.8{\%}) patients with LGE reached the prespecified end point, compared with 7 of 298 (2.3{\%}) without (hazard ratio [HR], 9.2; 95{\%} confidence interval [CI], 3.9-21.8;P{\textless}0.0001). Nine patients (8.9{\%}) with LGE compared with 6 (2.0{\%}) without (HR, 4.9; 95{\%} CI, 1.8-13.5;P=0.002) died suddenly, whereas 10 patients (9.9{\%}) with LGE compared with 1 patient (0.3{\%}) without (HR, 34.8; 95{\%} CI, 4.6-266.6;P{\textless}0.001) had aborted SCD. After adjustment, LGE predicted the composite end point (HR, 9.3; 95{\%} CI, 3.9-22.3;P{\textless}0.0001), SCD (HR, 4.8; 95{\%} CI, 1.7-13.8;P=0.003), and aborted SCD (HR, 35.9; 95{\%} CI, 4.8-271.4;P{\textless}0.001). Estimated HRs for the primary end point for patients with an LGE extent of 0{\%} to 2.5{\%}, 2.5{\%} to 5{\%}, and {\textgreater}5{\%} compared with those without LGE were 10.6 (95{\%} CI, 3.9-29.4), 4.9 (95{\%} CI, 1.3-18.9), and 11.8 (95{\%} CI, 4.3-32.3), respectively.

@article{Wahidiyat2017, abstract = "OBJECTIVES Recent advancements have promoted the use of T2* magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the non-invasive detection of iron overload in various organs for thalassemia major patients. This study aims to determine the iron load in the heart and liver of patients with thalassemia major using T2* MRI and to evaluate its correlation with serum ferritin level and iron chelation therapy. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 162 subjects diagnosed with thalassemia major, who were classified into acceptable, mild, moderate, or severe cardiac and hepatic iron overload following their T2* MRI results, respectively, and these were correlated to their serum ferritin levels and iron chelation therapy. RESULTS The study found that 85.2{\%} of the subjects had normal cardiac iron stores. In contrast, 70.4{\%} of the subjects had severe liver iron overload. A significant but weak correlation (r = -0.28) was found between cardiac T2* MRI and serum ferritin, and a slightly more significant correlation (r = 0.37) was found between liver iron concentration (LIC) and serum ferritin. DISCUSSION The findings of this study are consistent with several other studies, which show that patients generally manifest with liver iron overload prior to cardiac iron overload. Moreover, iron accumulation demonstrated by T2* MRI results also show a significant correlation to serum ferritin levels.

@article{Nielles-Vallespin2017, abstract = "BACKGROUND Cardiomyocytes are organized in microstructures termed sheetlets that reorientate during left ventricular thickening. Diffusion tensor cardiac magnetic resonance (DT-CMR) may enable noninvasive interrogation of in vivo cardiac microstructural dynamics. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition of abnormal myocardium with unknown sheetlet function. OBJECTIVES This study sought to validate in vivo DT-CMR measures of cardiac microstructure against histology, characterize microstructural dynamics during left ventricular wall thickening, and apply the technique in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and DCM. METHODS In vivo DT-CMR was acquired throughout the cardiac cycle in healthy swine, followed by in situ and ex vivo DT-CMR, then validated against histology. In vivo DT-CMR was performed in 19 control subjects, 19 DCM, and 13 HCM patients. RESULTS In swine, a DT-CMR index of sheetlet reorientation (E2A) changed substantially (E2A mobility ∼46°). E2A changes correlated with wall thickness changes (in vivo r2 = 0.75; in situ r2 = 0.89), were consistently observed under all experimental conditions, and accorded closely with histological analyses in both relaxed and contracted states. The potential contribution of cyclical strain effects to in vivo E2A was ∼17{\%}. In healthy human control subjects, E2A increased from diastole (18°) to systole (65°; p {\textless} 0.001; E2A mobility = 45°). HCM patients showed significantly greater E2A in diastole than control subjects did (48°; p {\textless} 0.001) with impaired E2A mobility (23°; p {\textless} 0.001). In DCM, E2A was similar to control subjects in diastole, but systolic values were markedly lower (40°; p {\textless} 0.001) with impaired E2A mobility (20°; p {\textless} 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Myocardial microstructure dynamics can be characterized by in vivo DT-CMR. Sheetlet function was abnormal in DCM with altered systolic conformation and reduced mobility, contrasting with HCM, which showed reduced mobility with altered diastolic conformation.

Feasibility of cardiovascular magnetic resonance derived coronary wave intensity analysis.
Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 18(1):93, January 2017.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Raphael2017, abstract = "BACKGROUND Wave intensity analysis (WIA) of the coronary arteries allows description of the predominant mechanisms influencing coronary flow over the cardiac cycle. The data are traditionally derived from pressure and velocity changes measured invasively in the coronary artery. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) allows measurement of coronary velocities using phase velocity mapping and derivation of central aortic pressure from aortic distension. We assessed the feasibility of WIA of the coronary arteries using CMR and compared this to invasive data. METHODS CMR scans were undertaken in a serial cohort of patients who had undergone invasive WIA. Velocity maps were acquired in the proximal left anterior descending and proximal right coronary artery using a retrospectively-gated breath-hold spiral phase velocity mapping sequence with high temporal resolution (19 ms). A breath-hold segmented gradient echo sequence was used to acquire through-plane cross sectional area changes in the proximal ascending aorta which were used as a surrogate of an aortic pressure waveform after calibration with brachial blood pressure measured with a sphygmomanometer. CMR-derived aortic pressures and CMR-measured velocities were used to derive wave intensity. The CMR-derived wave intensities were compared to invasive data in 12 coronary arteries (8 left, 4 right). Waves were presented as absolute values and as a {\%} of total wave intensity. Intra-study reproducibility of invasive and non-invasive WIA was assessed using Bland-Altman analysis and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). RESULTS The combination of the CMR-derived pressure and velocity data produced the expected pattern of forward and backward compression and expansion waves. The intra-study reproducibility of the CMR derived wave intensities as a {\%} of the total wave intensity (mean ± standard deviation of differences) was 0.0 ± 6.8{\%}, ICC = 0.91. Intra-study reproducibility for the corresponding invasive data was 0.0 ± 4.4{\%}, ICC = 0.96. The invasive and CMR studies showed reasonable correlation (r = 0.73) with a mean difference of 0.0 ± 11.5{\%}.

@article{Alam2016a, abstract = "BACKGROUND There is a need for improved worldwide access to tissue iron quantification using T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). One route to facilitate this would be simple in-line T2* analysis widely available on MR scanners. We therefore compared our clinically validated and established T2* method at Royal Brompton Hospital (RBH T2*) against a novel work-in-progress (WIP) sequence with in-line T2* measurement from Siemens (WIP T2*). METHODS Healthy volunteers (n = 22) and patients with iron overload (n = 78) were recruited (53 males, median age 34 years). A 1.5 T study (Magnetom Avanto, Siemens) was performed on all subjects. The same mid-ventricular short axis cardiac slice and transaxial slice through the liver were used to acquire both RBH T2* images and WIP T2* maps for each participant. Cardiac white blood (WB) and black blood (BB) sequences were acquired. Intraobserver, interobserver and interstudy reproducibility were measured on the same data from a subset of 20 participants. RESULTS Liver T2* values ranged from 0.8 to 35.7 ms (median 5.1 ms) and cardiac T2* values from 6.0 to 52.3 ms (median 31 ms). The coefficient of variance (CoV) values for direct comparison of T2* values by RBH and WIP were 6.1-7.8 {\%} across techniques. Accurate delineation of the septum was difficult on some WIP T2* maps due to artefacts. The inability to manually correct for noise by truncation of erroneous later echo times led to some overestimation of T2* using WIP T2* compared with the RBH T2*. Reproducibility CoV results for RBH T2* ranged from 1.5 to 5.7 {\%} which were better than the reproducibility of WIP T2* values of 4.1-16.6 {\%}.

Scout acquisitions guided the placement of steady state free precession cine acquisitions transecting the main, right and left pulmonary arteries (MPA, RPA and LPA). Cross sections were rarely quite circular. RESULTS From all subjects, the means of the greater and lesser orthogonal diastolic diameters in mm were: MPA, 22.9 ± 2.4 (M) and 21.2 ± 2.1 (F), RPA 16.6 ± 2.8 (M) and 14.7 ± 2.2 (F), and LPA 17.3 ± 2.5 (M) and 15.9 ± 2.0 (F), p {\textless} 0.0001 between genders in each case. The diastolic diameters increased with BSA and age, and plots are provided for reference. From measurements of minimum diastolic and maximum systolic cross sectional areas, the {\%} systolic distensions were: MPA 42.7 ± 17.2 (M) and 41.8 ± 15.7 (F), RPA 50.6 ± 16.9 (M) and 48.2 ± 14.5 (F), LPA 35.6 ± 10.1 (M) and 35.2 ± 10.3 (F), and there was a decrease in distension with age (p {\textless} 0.0001 for the MPA).

@article{Vassiliou2016a, abstract = "BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phantoms are routinely used for quality assurance in MRI centres; however their long term stability for verification of myocardial T1/ extracellular volume fraction (ECV) mapping has never been investigated. METHODS Nickel-chloride agarose gel phantoms were formulated in a reproducible laboratory procedure to mimic blood and myocardial T1 and T2 values, native and late after Gadolinium administration as used in T1/ECV mapping. The phantoms were imaged weekly with an 11 heart beat MOLLI sequence for T1 and long TR spin-echo sequences for T2, in a carefully controlled reproducible manner for 12 months. RESULTS There were only small relative changes seen in all the native and post gadolinium T1 values (up to 9.0 {\%} maximal relative change in T1 values) or phantom ECV (up to 8.3 {\%} maximal relative change of ECV, up to 2.2 {\%} maximal absolute change in ECV) during this period. All native and post gadolinium T2 values remained stable over time with {\textless}2 {\%} change. Temperature sensitivity testing showed MOLLI T1 values in the long T1 phantoms increasing by 23.9 ms per degree increase and short T1 phantoms increasing by 0.3 ms per degree increase. There was a small absolute increase in ECV of 0.069 {\%} ({\~{}}0.22 {\%} relative increase in ECV) per degree increase. Variation in heart rate testing showed a 0.13 {\%} absolute increase in ECV ({\~{}}0.45 {\%} relative increase in ECV) per 10 heart rate increase.

@article{Alam2016, abstract = "BACKGROUND T2* magnetic resonance of tissue iron concentration has improved the outcome of transfusion dependant anaemia patients. Clinical evaluation is performed at 1.5 T but scanners operating at 3 T are increasing in numbers. There is a paucity of data on the relative merits of iron quantification at 3 T vs 1.5 T. METHODS A total of 104 transfusion dependent anaemia patients and 20 normal volunteers were prospectively recruited to undergo cardiac and liver T2* assessment at both 1.5 T and 3 T. Intra-observer, inter-observer and inter-study reproducibility analysis were performed on 20 randomly selected patients for cardiac and liver T2*. RESULTS Association between heart and liver T2* at 1.5 T and 3 T was non-linear with good fit (R (2) = 0.954, p {\textless} 0.001 for heart white-blood (WB) imaging; R (2) = 0.931, p {\textless} 0.001 for heart black-blood (BB) imaging; R (2) = 0.993, p {\textless} 0.001 for liver imaging). R2* approximately doubled between 1.5 T and 3 T with linear fits for both heart and liver (94, 94 and 105 {\%} respectively). Coefficients of variation for intra- and inter-observer reproducibility, as well as inter-study reproducibility trended to be less good at 3 T (3.5 to 6.5 {\%}) than at 1.5 T (1.4 to 5.7 {\%}) for both heart and liver T2*. Artefact scores for the heart were significantly worse with the 3 T BB sequence (median 4, IQR 2-5) compared with the 1.5 T BB sequence (4 [3-5], p = 0.007). CONCLUSION Heart and liver T2* and R2* at 3 T show close association with 1.5 T values, but there were more artefacts at 3 T and trends to lower reproducibility causing difficulty in quantifying low T2* values with high tissue iron. Therefore T2* imaging at 1.5 T remains the gold standard for clinical practice.

It has been shown that left atrial (LA) function has a prognostic value in a number of heart conditions. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) provides high quality images of the left and right atria using high temporal resolution steady state free precession (SSFP) cine sequences. We used SSFP cines to characterize atrial function in healthy, normotensive, volunteers. METHODS We measured maximum, preatrial contraction and minimum left and right atrial volumes in 120 healthy subjects after careful exclusion of cardiovascular abnormality (60 men, 60 women; 20 subjects per age decile from 20 to 80 years). Data were generated from 3-dimensional modeling, including tracking of the atrioventricular ring motion and time-volume curves analysis. With those measurements, all the usual parameters for left and right atrial function were calculated. RESULTS Gender had significant influence on some parameters of left and right atrial conduit and booster pump function. Age significantly influenced the majority of parameters of both left and right atrial function, with typically lower reservoir and conduit functions and higher booster pump function, both in males and females belonging to older age groups.

The pathogenesis of anthracycline cardiotoxicity remains incompletely understood and individual susceptibility difficult to predict. We sought clinical features which might contribute to improved risk assessment. METHODS Subjects were women with early breast cancer, free of pre-existing cardiac disease. Left ventricular ejection fraction was measured using cardiovascular magnetic resonance before and {\textgreater}12 months after anthracycline-based chemotherapy ({\textgreater}3 months post-Trastuzumab). Variables associated with subclinical cardiotoxicity (defined as a fall in left ventricular ejection fraction of ≥5{\%}) were identified by logistic regression. RESULTS One hundred and sixty-five women (mean age 48.3 years at enrollment) completed the study 21.7 months [IQR 18.0-26.8] after starting chemotherapy. All received anthracyclines (98.8{\%} epirubicin, cumulative dose 400 [300-450] mg/m2); 18{\%} Trastuzumab. Baseline blood pressure was elevated (≥140/90mmHg, mean 147.3/86.1mmHg) in 18 subjects. Thirty-four subjects (20.7{\%}) were identified with subclinical cardiotoxicity, independent predictors of which were the number of anthracycline cycles (odds ratio, OR 1.64 [1.17-2.30] per cycle), blood pressure ≥140/90mmHg (OR 5.36 [1.73-17.61]), body surface area (OR 2.08 [1.36-3.20] per standard deviation (0.16m2) increase), and Trastuzumab therapy (OR 3.35 [1.18-9.51]). The resultant predictive-model had an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.78 [0.70-0.86]. CONCLUSIONS We found subclinical cardiotoxicity to be common even within this low risk cohort. Risk of cardiotoxicity was associated with modestly elevated baseline blood pressure-indicating that close attention should be paid to blood pressure in patients considered for anthracycline based chemotherapy.

@article{Raphael2016a, abstract = "BACKGROUND Angina is common in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and is associated with abnormal myocardial perfusion. Wave intensity analysis improves the understanding of the mechanics of myocardial ischemia. OBJECTIVES Wave intensity analysis was used to describe the mechanisms underlying perfusion abnormalities in patients with HCM. METHODS Simultaneous pressure and flow were measured in the proximal left anterior descending artery in 33 patients with HCM and 20 control patients at rest and during hyperemia, allowing calculation of wave intensity. Patients also underwent quantitative first-pass perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance to measure myocardial perfusion reserve. RESULTS Patients with HCM had a lower coronary flow reserve than control subjects (1.9 ± 0.8 vs. 2.7 ± 0.9; p = 0.01). Coronary hemodynamics in HCM were characterized by a very large backward compression wave during systole (38 ± 11{\%} vs. 21 ± 6{\%}; p {\textless} 0.001) and a proportionately smaller backward expansion wave (27{\%} ± 8{\%} vs. 33 ± 6{\%}; p = 0.006) compared with control subjects. Patients with severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction had a bisferiens pressure waveform resulting in an additional proximally originating deceleration wave during systole. The proportion of waves acting to accelerate coronary flow increased with hyperemia, and the magnitude of change was proportional to the myocardial perfusion reserve (rho = 0.53; p {\textless} 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Coronary flow in patients with HCM is deranged. Distally, compressive deformation of intramyocardial blood vessels during systole results in an abnormally large backward compression wave, whereas proximally, severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is associated with an additional deceleration wave.

Until now, it has not been linked to any significant clinical implications. We report cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) findings of two adult patients who underwent atriopulmonary Fontan operation in the setting of left juxtaposition of the atrial appendages. The patients were in sinus rhythm at the time of the CMR study. Both patients had episodes of sustained atrial tachyarrhythmia requiring electrical cardioversion and were anticoagulated with warfarin with target INR 2-3. CMR images showed a thrombus located in the enlarged and juxtaposed right appendage in both patients. Blood flow frequently appears slow or sluggish in the dilated right atrium following atriopulmonary Fontan surgery. In addition, cine CMR suggested that blood flow reaches very low velocities in the massively dilated juxtaposed right atrial appendage cul-de-sac, thus potentially creating a substrate for clot formation. These findings propose that juxtaposed atrial appendages in atriopulmonary Fontan is an additional risk factor for clot formation, specifically in the dilated right atrial appendage on the left side juxtaposed with the left atrial appendage and that prophylactic anticoagulation is highly justified in these patients. {\textless}/p{\textgreater}", author = "Spadotto, Veronica and Voges, Inga and Kilner, Philip J and Yacoub, Magdi H and Ernst, Sabine and Ho, Siew Yen and Babu-Narayan, Sonya V", doi = "10.21542/gcsp.2016.19", issn = 23057823, journal = "Global Cardiology Science and Practice", month = "oct", number = 2, pages = "e201619", pmid = 29043267, title = "{Juxtaposition of the atrial appendages: A nidus for thrombus in atriopulmonary Fontan?}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29043267 http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=PMC5642832 https://globalcardiologyscienceandpractice.com/index.php/gcsp/article/view/23", volume = 2016, year = 2016 }

@article{Babu-Narayan2016, abstract = "{BACKGROUND Systemic right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and sudden cardiac death remain problematic late after Mustard operation for transposition of the great arteries. The exact mechanism for that relationship is likely to be multifactorial including myocardial fibrosis. Doppler echocardiography gives further insights into the role of fibrosis shown by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in late morbidity. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-two consecutive patients, mean age 28±8years, were studied with 2D echocardiography, and also assessed by LGE CMR. The presence of LGE in 13/22 patients (59{\%}) was related to delayed septal shortening and lengthening (P=0.002 {\&}P=0.049), prolonged systemic RV isovolumic contraction time (P=0.024) and reduced systemic RV free wall and septal excursion (P=0.027 {\&}P=0.005). The systemic RV total isovolumic time was prolonged but not related to extent of LGE. LGE extent was related to markers of electromechanical delay and dyssynchrony (delayed onset of RV free wall shortening and lengthening; r=0.73 {\&}P=0.004 and r=0.62 {\&}P=0.041, respectively, and QRS duration r=0.68, P{\textless}0.01) and was inversely related to systolic RV free wall shortening velocity (r=-0.59 {\&}P=0.042). The presence of LGE was also related to lower exercise capacity, ≥mild tricuspid regurgitation and more arrhythmia (P=0.008", p = "\textless}0.001, respectively).

@article{Raphael2016, abstract = "AIMS Magnetic resonance (MR) conditional pacemakers are increasingly implanted into patients who may need cardiovascular MR (CMR) subsequent to device implantation. We assessed the added value of CMR for diagnosis and management in this population. METHODS AND RESULTS CMR and pacing data from consecutive patients with MR conditional pacemakers were retrospectively reviewed. Images were acquired at 1.5 T (Siemens Magnetom Avanto). The indication for CMR and any resulting change in management was recorded. The quality of CMR was rated by an observer blinded to clinical details, and data on pacemaker and lead parameters were collected pre- and post-CMR. Seventy-two CMR scans on 69 patients performed between 2011 and 2015 were assessed. All scans were completed successfully with no significant change in lead thresholds or pacing parameters. Steady-state free precession (SSFP) cine imaging resulted in a greater frequency of non-diagnostic imaging (22 vs. 1{\%}, P {\textless} 0.01) compared with gradient echo sequences (GRE). Right-sided pacemakers were associated with less artefact than left-sided pacemakers. Late gadolinium enhancement imaging was performed in 59 scans with only 2{\%} of segments rated of non-diagnostic quality. The CMR data resulted in a new diagnosis in 27 (38{\%}) of examinations; clinical management was changed in a further 18 (25{\%}). CONCLUSIONS CMR in patients with MR conditional pacemakers provided diagnostic or management-changing information in the majority (63{\%}) of our cohort.

Value of Formalin Fixation for the Prolonged Preservation of Rodent Myocardial Microanatomical Organization: Evidence by MR Diffusion Tensor Imaging.

@article{Giannakidis2016, abstract = "Previous ex vivo diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies on formalin-fixed myocardial tissue assumed that, after some initial changes in the first 48 hr since the start of fixation, DTI parameters remain stable over time. Prolonged preservation of cardiac tissue in formalin prior to imaging has been seen many times in the DTI literature as it is considered orderly. Our objective is to define the effects of the prolonged cardiac tissue exposure to formalin on tissue microanatomical organization, as this is assessed by DTI parameters. DTI experiments were conducted on eight excised rodent hearts that were fixed by immersion in formalin. The samples were randomly divided into two equinumerous groups corresponding to shorter (∼2 weeks) and more prolonged (∼6-8 weeks) durations of tissue exposure to formalin prior to imaging. We found that when the duration of cardiac tissue exposure to formalin before imaging increased, water diffusion became less restricted, helix angle (HA) histograms flattened out and exhibited heavier tails (even though the classic HA transmural variation was preserved), and a significant loss of inter-voxel primary diffusion orientation integrity was introduced. The prolonged preservation of cardiac tissue in formalin profoundly affected its microstructural organization, as this was assessed by DTI parameters. The accurate interpretation of diffusivity profiles necessitates awareness of the pitfalls of prolonged cardiac tissue exposure duration to formalin. The acquired knowledge works to the advantage of a proper experimental design of DTI studies of fixed hearts.

Although CMR is considered the standard of reference for measuring ventricular volumes and mass, the relationship between CMR findings of right ventricular (RV) function and outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation has not previously been reported. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 190 patients underwent 1.5 Tesla CMR before transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Steady-state free precession sequences were used for aortic valve planimetry and to assess ventricular volumes and mass. Semiautomated image analysis was performed by 2 specialist reviewers blinded to patient treatment. Patient follow-up was obtained from the Office of National Statistics mortality database. The median age was 81.0 (interquartile range, 74.9-85.5) years; 50.0{\%} were women. Impaired RV function (RV ejection fraction ≤50{\%}) was present in 45 (23.7{\%}) patients. Patients with RV dysfunction had poorer left ventricular ejection fractions (42{\%} versus 69{\%}), higher indexed left ventricular end-systolic volumes (96 versus 40 mL), and greater indexed left ventricular mass (101 versus 85 g/m(2); P{\textless}0.01 for all) than those with normal RV function. Median follow-up was 850 days; 21 of 45 (46.7{\%}) patients with RV dysfunction died, compared with 43 of 145 (29.7{\%}) patients with normal RV function (P=0.035). After adjustment for significant baseline variables, both RV ejection fraction ≤50{\%} (hazard ratio, 2.12; P=0.017) and indexed aortic valve area (hazard ratio, 4.16; P=0.025) were independently associated with survival.

Finite element (FE) models of the aortic root and thoracic aorta were developed using patient-specific geometries reconstructed from pre- and post-PEARS cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images in three Marfan patients. The wall and PEARS materials were assumed to be isotropic, incompressible and linearly elastic. A static load on the inner wall corresponding to the patients' pulse pressure was applied. Cardiovascular MR cine images were used to quantify aortic root motion, which was imposed at the aortic root boundary of the FE model, with zero-displacement constraints at the distal ends of the aortic branches and descending aorta. Measurements of the systolic downward motion of the aortic root revealed a significant reduction in the axial displacement in all three patients post-PEARS compared with its pre-PEARS counterparts. Higher longitudinal stresses were observed in the ascending aorta when compared with models without the root motion. Implantation of PEARS reduced the longitudinal stresses in the ascending aorta by up to 52{\%}. In contrast, the circumferential stresses at the interface between the supported and unsupported aorta were increase by up to 82{\%}.

MATERIALS AND METHODS 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 4D velocity mapping was performed on four healthy volunteers, seven patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, and thirteen patients with transposition of the great arteries repaired by arterial switch. Pulmonary transvalvular pressure drop was estimated based on two methods: General Bernoulli's Equation (GBE), ie, the most complete form; and Simplified Bernoulli's Equation (SBE), known as 4V(2) . More than 2300 individual pressure drop measurements were used to compare the simplified and the general Bernoulli's methods. A linear mixed-effects model was employed for statistical analyses, fully accounting for clustering of observations among the methods and systolic phases. RESULTS The simplified Bernoulli's method systematically underestimated the pressure drop compared to general Bernoulli's method during the entire systolic phase (P {\textless} 0.05), including the peak systole, where on average $\Delta$pSBE/$\Delta$pGBE=78{\%}.

Patients were randomized (2:1) to RDT with the Symplicity™ catheter or continuing medical therapy. The primary success criterion was not met in that there were no differences between groups at 12 months for Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire score, peak oxygen uptake (VO2 ) on exercise, BNP, E/e', LA volume index or LV mass index.

Determination of Clinical Outcome in Mitral Regurgitation With Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance QuantificationCLINICAL PERSPECTIVE.
Circulation 133(23):2287–2296, June 2016.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Myerson2016, abstract = "BACKGROUND Surgery for severe mitral regurgitation is indicated if symptoms or left ventricular dilation or dysfunction occur. However, prognosis is already reduced by this stage, and earlier surgery on asymptomatic patients has been advocated if valve repair is likely, but identifying suitable patients for early surgery is difficult. Quantifying the regurgitation may help, but evidence for its link with outcome is limited. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can accurately quantify mitral regurgitation, and we examined whether this was associated with the future need for surgery. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred nine asymptomatic patients with echocardiographic moderate or severe mitral regurgitation had baseline CMR scans and were followed up for up to 8 years (mean, 2.5±1.9 years). CMR quantification accurately identified patients who progressed to symptoms or other indications for surgery: 91{\%} of subjects with regurgitant volume ≤55 mL survived to 5 years without surgery compared with only 21{\%} with regurgitant volume {\textgreater}55 mL (P{\textless}0.0001). A similar separation was observed for regurgitant fraction ≤40{\%} and {\textgreater}40{\%}. CMR-derived end-diastolic volume index showed a weaker association with outcome (proportions surviving without surgery at 5 years, 90{\%} for left ventricular end-diastolic volume index {\textless}100 mL/m(2) versus 48{\%} for ≥100 mL/m(2)) and added little to the discriminatory power of regurgitant fraction/volume alone. CONCLUSIONS CMR quantification of mitral regurgitation was associated with the development of symptoms or other indications for surgery and showed better discriminatory ability than the reference-standard CMR-derived ventricular volumes.

@article{Bucciarelli-Ducci2016, abstract = "OBJECTIVES This study explored whether cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) could help select patients who could benefit from revascularization by identifying inducible myocardial ischemia and viability in the perfusion territory of the artery with chronic total occlusion (CTO). BACKGROUND The benefit of revascularization using percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in CTO is controversial. CMR offers incomparable left ventricular (LV) systolic function assessment in addition to potent ischemic burden quantification and reliable myocardial viability analysis. Whether CMR guided CTO revascularization would be helpful to such patients has not yet been explored fully. METHODS A prospective study of 50 consecutive CTO patients was conducted. Of 50 patients undergoing baseline stress CMR, 32 (64{\%}) were selected for recanalization based on the presence of significant inducible perfusion deficit and myocardial viability within the CTO arterial territory.

RESULTS At baseline, myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) in the CTO territory was significantly reduced compared with the remote region (1.8 ± 0.72 vs. 2.2 ± 0.7; p = 0.01). MPR in the CTO region improved significantly after PCI (to 2.3 ± 0.9; p = 0.02 vs. baseline) with complete or near-complete resolution of CTO related perfusion defect in 90{\%} of patients. Remote territory MPR was unchanged after PCI (2.5 ± 1.2; p = NS vs. baseline). The LV ejection fraction increased from 63 ± 13{\%} to 67 ± 12{\%} (p {\textless} 0.0001) and end-systolic volume decreased from 65 ± 38 to 56 ± 38 ml (p {\textless} 0.001) 3 months after CTO PCI. Importantly, despite minimal post-procedural infarction due to distal embolization and side branch occlusion in 8 of 32 patients (25{\%}), the total Seattle Angina Questionnaire score improved from a median of 54 (range 45 to 74) at baseline to 89 (range 77 to 98) after CTO recanalization (p {\textless} 0.0001).

METHODS We identified all patients aged ≥ 16 years with native isolated VSD between January 2000 and September 2013. Clinical outcomes were retrospectively reviewed. Transthoracic echocardiograms performed within 2 years of last assessment were reviewed for hemodynamic sequelae. RESULTS Two-hundred-and-thirty-one patients, 100 (43{\%}) male, mean age at last follow-up 34 ± 13 years were studied. During the recorded period there were no deaths. The majority (224/231; 97{\%}) were asymptomatic. Documented arrhythmias occurred in 7 patients (3{\%}), double-chamber right ventricle (DCRV) in 29 (13{\%}), more than mild aortic regurgitation in 6 (3{\%}) and infective endocarditis in 24 (10{\%}) patients.

Exploring (1) impact of counselling on decision to become pregnant; (2) pregnancy rates in those opting for pregnancy and (3) short-term and long-term outcome of those who succeeded in becoming pregnant. METHODS Retrospective review of women aged 16-45 years with a Fontan circulation from 1994 to 2014. RESULTS 58 women were offered PCC, 3 declined and 55 received PCC. Following PCC, 15 opted against conception, 16 decided to delay pregnancy, 19 attempted pregnancy and 5 were lost to follow-up. Of the 19 women, 14 succeeded, becoming pregnant a total of 43 times (median 1, range 1-9). Of these, 6 miscarried all pregnancies. 8 carried 14 pregnancies to viability. Baseline hypoxaemia and cardiac disease in pregnancy (CARPREG) score was similar in those opting for and against pregnancy, but CARPREG score was better in those delaying conception. Women exclusively miscarrying or unable to conceive were more likely to have baseline hypoxaemia and greater CARPREG score. Cardiac complications included arrhythmia requiring treatment (n = 4) and one thromboembolism. Obstetric complications were greater in women with a Fontan circulation, 10 preterm births ({\textless} 37 weeks) and 8 small for gestational age babies ({\textless} 10th centile).

@article{Diller2016, abstract = "BACKGROUND Depression is prevalent in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD), but limited data on the frequency of anti-depressant drug (ADD) therapy and its impact on outcome are available. METHODS AND RESULTS We identified all ACHD patients treated with ADDs between 2000 and 2011 at our centre. Of 6162 patients under follow-up, 204 (3.3{\%}) patients were on ADD therapy. The majority of patients were treated with selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (67.4{\%}), while only 17.0{\%} of patients received tricyclic anti-depressants. Twice as many female patients used ADDs compared with males (4.4 vs. 2.2{\%}, P {\textless} 0.0001). The percentage of patients on ADDs increased with disease complexity (P {\textless} 0.0001) and patient age (P {\textless} 0.0001). Over a median follow-up of 11.1 years, 507 (8.2{\%}) patients died. After propensity score matching, ADD use was found to be significantly associated with worse outcome in male ACHD patients [hazard ratio 1.44 (95{\%} confidence interval 1.17-1.84)]. There was no evidence that this excess mortality was directly related to ADD therapy, QT-prolongation, or malignant arrhythmias. However, males taking ADDs were also more likely to miss scheduled follow-up appointments compared with untreated counterparts, while no such difference in clinic attendance was seen in females. CONCLUSIONS The use of ADD therapy in ACHD relates to gender, age, and disease complexity. Although, twice as many female patients were on ADDs, it were their male counterparts, who were at increased mortality risk on therapy.

Cardiac complications in thalassemia major.

URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Auger2016, abstract = "The myocardium is particularly susceptible to complications from iron loading in thalassemia major. In the first years of life, severe anemia leads to high-output cardiac failure and death if not treated. The necessary supportive blood transfusions create loading of iron that cannot be naturally excreted, and this iron accumulates within tissues, including the heart. Free unbound iron catalyzes the formation of toxic hydroxyl radicals, which damage cells and cause cardiac dysfunction. Significant cardiac siderosis may present by the age of 10 and may lead to acute clinical heart failure, which must be treated urgently. Atrial fibrillation is the most frequently encountered iron-related arrhythmia. Iron chelation is effective at removing iron from the myocardium, at the expense of side effects that hamper compliance to therapy. Monitoring of myocardial iron content is mandatory for clinical management of cardiac risk. T2* cardiac magnetic resonance measures myocardial iron and is the strongest biomarker for prediction of heart failure and arrhythmic events. It has been calibrated to human myocardial tissue iron concentration and is highly reproducible across all magnetic resonance scanner vendors.

We herewith investigate the relation between exercise capacity, cardiac index, and RV volume overload due to tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in Ebstein's malformation and pulmonary regurgitation (PR) after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (rToF). METHODS We measured cardiac index and tricuspid/pulmonary regurgitant fraction by cardiovascular magnetic resonance in patients with Ebstein's malformation (n = 40) or rTOF (n = 53) with at least moderate TR/PR and 24 healthy controls. Exercise tolerance was determined by peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2) during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. RESULTS TR and PR fraction were similar in Ebstein and rTOF patients (43 ± 17{\%} versus 39 ± 12{\%}, respectively). Cardiac index was reduced in Ebstein (2.7 ± 0.6L/min/m(2) compared to controls 3.5 ± 0.9L/min/m(2), p {\textless} 0.001) but not in rToF patients (3.2 ± 0.5L/min/m(2)). Multiple regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between peak VO2 and cardiac index in Ebstein. Furthermore, peak VO2 correlated with peak heart rate in both groups but not with regurgitation fraction. CONCLUSIONS Despite comparable amounts of regurgitation from a right sided heart valve in patients with Ebstein and rToF, reduction of cardiac index was observed only in the former group.

The aim of cardiac imaging is to establish cardiac diagnosis as accurate as possible and to avert unnecessary invasive procedures. There are many different modalities of cardiac imaging and each of them has advanced tremendously throughout the past decades. Echocardiography, as the first-line modality in most clinical circumstances, has progressed from two-dimensional, single-planed M-mode in the 1960s to three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography nowadays. Cardiac computed tomography angiogram (CCTA) has revolutionised the management of coronary artery disease as it allows clinicians to visualise the coronary arteries without performing an invasive angiogram. Because of the high negative predictive value, CCTA plays an important reassuring role in acute chest pain management. The greatest strength of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is that it provides information in tissue characterization. It is the modality of choice in assessing myocardial viability and myocardial infiltration such as haemochromatosis or amyloidosis. Each of these modalities has its own strengths and limitations.

@article{Singh2016, abstract = "Implantation of a personalised external aortic root support (PEARS) in the Marfan aorta is a new procedure that has emerged recently, but its haemodynamic implication has not been investigated. The objective of this study was to compare the flow characteristics and hemodynamic indices in the aorta before and after insertion of PEARS, using combined cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Pre- and post-PEARS MR images were acquired from 3 patients and used to build patient-specific models and upstream flow conditions, which were incorporated into the CFD simulations. The results revealed that while the qualitative patterns of the haemodynamics were similar before and after PEARS implantation, the post-PEARS aortas had slightly less disturbed flow at the sinuses, as a result of reduced diameters in the post-PEARS aortic roots. Quantitative differences were observed between the pre- and post-PEARS aortas, in that the mean values of helicity flow index (HFI) varied by -10{\%}, 35{\%} and 20{\%} in post-PEARS aortas of Patients 1, 2 and 3, respectively, but all values were within the range reported for normal aortas.

A non-invasive alternative would be beneficial as it would allow study of a wider patient population and serial scanning. METHODS A retrospectively-gated breath-hold spiral phase velocity mapping sequence (TR 19 ms) was developed at 3 Tesla. Velocity maps were acquired in 8 proximal right and 15 proximal left coronary arteries of 18 subjects who had previously had a Doppler guidewire study at the time of coronary angiography. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) velocity-time curves were processed semi-automatically and compared with corresponding invasive Doppler data. RESULTS When corrected for differences in heart rate between the two studies, CMR mean velocity through the cardiac cycle, peak systolic velocity (PSV) and peak diastolic velocity (PDV) were approximately 40 {\%} of the peak Doppler values with a moderate - good linear relationship between the two techniques (R(2): 0.57, 0.64 and 0.79 respectively). CMR values of PDV/PSV showed a strong linear relationship with Doppler values with a slope close to unity (0.89 and 0.90 for right and left arteries respectively). In individual vessels, plots of CMR velocities at all cardiac phases against corresponding Doppler velocities showed a consistent linear relationship between the two with high R(2) values (mean +/-SD: 0.79 +/-.13).

In vitro data has shown that like T2*, novel native Modified Look-Locker Inversion recovery (MOLLI) T1 shortens with increasing tissue iron. The relative merits of T1 and T2* are largely unexplored. We compared the established 1.5T BB T2* technique against native T1 values at 1.5T and 3T in iron overload patients and in normal volunteers. METHODS A total of 73 subjects (42 male) were recruited, comprising 20 healthy volunteers (controls) and 53 patients (thalassemia major 22, sickle cell disease 9, hereditary hemochromatosis 9, other iron overload conditions 13). Single mid-ventricular short axis slices were acquired for BB T2* at 1.5T and MOLLI T1 quantification at 1.5T and 3T. RESULTS In healthy volunteers, median T1 was 1014 ms (full range 939-1059 ms) at 1.5T and modestly increased to 1165ms (full range 1056-1224 ms) at 3T. All patients with significant cardiac iron overload (1.5T T2* values {\textless}20 ms) had T1 values {\textless}939 ms at 1.5T, and {\textless}1056 ms at 3T. Associations between T2* and T1 were found to be moderate with y =377 {\textperiodcentered} x(0.282) at 1.5T (R(2) = 0.717), and y =406 {\textperiodcentered} x(0.294) at 3T (R(2) = 0.715). Measures of reproducibility of T1 appeared superior to T2*. CONCLUSIONS T1 mapping at 1.5T and at 3T can identify individuals with significant iron loading as defined by the current gold standard T2* at 1.5T. However, there is significant scatter between results which may reflect measurement error, but it is also possible that T1 interacts with T2*, or is differentially sensitive to aspects of iron chemistry or other biology. Hurdles to clinical implementation of T1 include the lack of calibration against human myocardial iron concentration, no demonstrated relation to cardiac outcomes, and variation in absolute T1 values between scanners, which makes inter-centre comparisons difficult.

Recently, the importance of specialized follow-up at tertiary ACHD centers has been highlighted. We aimed to assess survival prospects and clarify causes of death in a large cohort of patients at a single, tertiary center. METHODS AND RESULTS We included 6969 adult patients (age 29.9 ± 15.4 years) under follow-up at our institution between 1991 and 2013. Causes of death were ascertained from official death certificates. Survival was compared with the expected survival in the general age- and sex-matched population, and standardized mortality rates were calculated. Over a median follow-up time of 9.1 years (interquartile range, 5.2-14.5), 524 patients died. Leading causes of death were chronic heart failure (42{\%}), pneumonia (10{\%}), sudden-cardiac death (7{\%}), cancer (6{\%}), and hemorrhage (5{\%}), whereas perioperative mortality was comparatively low. Isolated simple defects exhibited mortality rates similar to those in the general population, whereas patients with Eisenmenger syndrome, complex congenital heart disease, and Fontan physiology had much poorer long-term survival (P{\textless}0.0001 for all). The probability of cardiac death decreased with increasing patient's age, whereas the proportion of patients dying from noncardiac causes, such as cancer, increased. CONCLUSIONS ACHD patients continue to be afflicted by increased mortality in comparison with the general population as they grow older.

Global and regional values were determined for fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), helix angle gradient (HAg, degrees/{\%}depth) and the secondary eigenvector angulation (E2A). Regression analysis was performed between global values and subject anthropometrics. RESULTS All cDTI parameters displayed regional heterogeneity. The RR interval had a significant, but clinically small effect on systolic values for FA, HAg and E2A. Male sex and increasing left ventricular end diastolic volume were associated with increased systolic HAg. Diastolic HAg and systolic E2A were both directly related to left ventricular mass and body surface area. There was an inverse relationship between E2A mobility and both age and ejection fraction.

Rapid automatic segmentation of abnormal tissue in late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance images for improved management of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.
BioMedical Engineering OnLine 14(1):88, December 2015.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Giannakidis2015, abstract = "BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disorder. In order for late Gd enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE CMR) to ameliorate the AF management, the ready availability of the accurate enhancement segmentation is required. However, the computer-aided segmentation of enhancement in LGE CMR of AF is still an open question. Additionally, the number of centres that have reported successful application of LGE CMR to guide clinical AF strategies remains low, while the debate on LGE CMR's diagnostic ability for AF still holds. The aim of this study is to propose a method that reliably distinguishes enhanced (abnormal) from non-enhanced (healthy) tissue within the left atrial wall of (pre-ablation and 3 months post-ablation) LGE CMR data-sets from long-standing persistent AF patients studied at our centre. METHODS Enhancement segmentation was achieved by employing thresholds benchmarked against the statistics of the whole left atrial blood-pool (LABP). The test-set cross-validation mechanism was applied to determine the input feature representation and algorithm that best predict enhancement threshold levels. RESULTS Global normalized intensity threshold levels T PRE = 1 1/4 and T POST = 1 5/8 were found to segment enhancement in data-sets acquired pre-ablation and at 3 months post-ablation, respectively. The segmentation results were corroborated by using visual inspection of LGE CMR brightness levels and one endocardial bipolar voltage map. The measured extent of pre-ablation fibrosis fell within the normal range for the specific arrhythmia phenotype. 3D volume renderings of segmented post-ablation enhancement emulated the expected ablation lesion patterns. By comparing our technique with other related approaches that proposed different threshold levels (although they also relied on reference regions from within the LABP) for segmenting enhancement in LGE CMR data-sets of AF patients, we illustrated that the cut-off levels employed by other centres may not be usable for clinical studies performed in our centre. CONCLUSIONS The proposed technique has great potential for successful employment in the AF management within our centre. It provides a highly desirable validation of the LGE CMR technique for AF studies. Inter-centre differences in the CMR acquisition protocol and image analysis strategy inevitably impede the selection of a universally optimal algorithm for segmentation of enhancement in AF studies.", author = "Giannakidis, Archontis and Nyktari, Eva and Keegan, Jennifer and Pierce, Iain and {Suman Horduna}, Irina and Haldar, Shouvik and Pennell, Dudley J. and Mohiaddin, Raad and Wong, Tom and Firmin, David N.", doi = "10.1186/s12938-015-0083-8", issn = "1475-925X", journal = "BioMedical Engineering OnLine", month = "dec", number = 1, pages = 88, pmid = 26445883, title = "{Rapid automatic segmentation of abnormal tissue in late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance images for improved management of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26445883 http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=PMC4596471 http://www.biomedical-engineering-online.com/content/14/1/88", volume = 14, year = 2015 }

METHODS AND RESULTS Between 2003 and 2005, 48 patients with ES, all with a post-tricuspid shunt, were enrolled in a prospective, longitudinal, single-center study. All patients underwent a standardized baseline assessment with CMR, blood test, echocardiography, and 6-minute walk test and were followed up for mortality until the end of December 2013. Twelve patients (25{\%}) died during follow-up, mostly from heart failure (50{\%}).

Free-breathing myocardial T2* mapping using GRE-EPI and automatic Non-rigid motion correction.

@article{Jin2015, abstract = "BACKGROUND Measurement of myocardial T2* is becoming widely used in the assessment of patients at risk for cardiac iron overload. The conventional breath-hold, ECG-triggered, segmented, multi-echo gradient echo (MGRE) sequence used for myocardial T2* quantification is very sensitive to respiratory motion and may not be feasible in patients who are unable to breath-hold. We propose a free-breathing myocardial T2* mapping approach that combines a single-shot gradient-echo echo-planar imaging (GRE-EPI) sequence for T2*-weighted image acquisition with automatic non-rigid motion correction (MOCO) of respiratory motion between single-shot images. METHODS ECG-triggered T2*-weighted images at different echo times were acquired by a black-blood, single-shot GRE-EPI sequence during free-breathing. A single image at a single TE is acquired in each heartbeat. Automatic non-rigid MOCO was applied to correct for in-plane respiratory motion before pixel-wise T2* mapping. In a total of 117 patients referred for clinical cardiac magnetic resonance exams, the free-breathing MOCO GRE-EPI sequence was compared to the breath-hold segmented MGRE approach. Image quality was scored independently by 2 experienced observers blinded to the particular image acquisition strategy. T2* measurements in the interventricular septum and in the liver were compared for the two methods in all cases with adequate image quality. RESULTS T2* maps were acquired in all 117 patients using the breath-hold MGRE and the free-breathing MOCO GRE-EPI approaches, including 8 patients with myocardial iron overload and 25 patients with hepatic iron overload. The mean image quality of the free-breathing MOCO GRE-EPI images was scored significantly higher than that of the breath-hold MGRE images by both reviewers. Out of the 117 studies, 21 breath-hold MGRE studies (17.9{\%} of all the patients) were scored to be less than adequate or very poor by both reviewers, while only 2 free-breathing MOCO GRE-EPI studies were scored to be less than adequate image quality. In a comparative evaluation of the images with at least adequate quality, the intra-class correlation coefficients for myocardial and liver T2* were 0.868 and 0.986 respectively (p {\textless} 0.001), indicating that the T2* measured by breath-hold MGRE and free-breathing MOCO GRE-EPI were in close agreement. The coefficient of variation between the breath-hold and free-breathing approaches for myocardial and liver T2* were 9.88{\%} and 9.38{\%} respectively.

@article{Cheng2015, abstract = "BACKGROUND Although cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is showing increasingly diagnostic potential in left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC), relatively little research relevant to CMR is conducted in children with LVNC. This study was performed to characterize and compare CMR features and clinical outcomes in children with LVNC with and without late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). METHODS A cohort of 40 consecutive children (age, 13.7 ± 3.3 years; 29 boys and 11 girls) with isolated LVNC underwent a baseline CMR scan with subsequent clinical follow-up. Short-axis cine images were used to calculate left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF), end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), myocardial mass, ratio of non-compacted-to-compacted myocardial thickness (NC/C ratio), and number of non-compacted segments. The LGE images were analyzed to assess visually presence and patterns of LGE. The primary end point was a composite of cardiac death and heart transplantation. RESULTS The LGE was present in 10 (25{\%}) children, and 46 (27{\%}) segments were involved, including 23 non-compacted segments and 23 normal segments. Compared with LGE- cohort, LGE+ cohort had significantly lower LVEF (23.8 ± 10.7{\%} vs. 42.9 ± 16.7{\%}, p {\textless} 0.001) and greater LVEDV (169.2 ± 65.1 vs. 118.2 ± 48.9 mL/m2, p = 0.010), LVESV (131.3 ± 55.5 vs. 73.3 ± 46.7 mL/m2, p = 0.002), and sphericity indices (0.75 ± 0.19 vs. 0.60 ± 0.20, p = 0.045). There were no differences in terms of number and distribution of non-compacted segments, NC/C ratio, and myocardial mass index between LGE+ and LGE- cohort. In the LGE+ cohort, adverse events occurred in 6 patients compared to 2 events in the LGE- cohort. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significant difference in outcome between LGE+ and LGE- cohort for cardiac death and heart transplantation (p = 0.011).

Following a summary of the parameters typically desired of 3D FPP methods, the review explains the mechanisms of key acceleration techniques and their potential use in FPP for attaining 3D acquisitions. The mechanisms include rapid sequences, non-Cartesian k-space trajectories, reduced k-space acquisitions, parallel imaging reconstructions and compressed sensing. An attempt is made to explain, rather than simply state, the varying methods with the hope that it will give an appreciation of the different components making up a 3D FPP protocol. Basic estimates demonstrating the required total acceleration factors in typical 3D FPP cases are included, providing context for the extent that each acceleration method can contribute to the required imaging speed, as well as potential limitations in present 3D FPP literature. Although many 3D FPP methods are too early in development for the type of clinical trials required to show any clear benefit over current 2D FPP methods, the review includes the small but growing quantity of clinical research work already using 3D FPP, alongside the more technical work.

4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance consensus statement.
Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 17(1):72, December 2015.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Dyverfeldt2015, abstract = "Pulsatile blood flow through the cavities of the heart and great vessels is time-varying and multidirectional. Access to all regions, phases and directions of cardiovascular flows has formerly been limited. Four-dimensional (4D) flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has enabled more comprehensive access to such flows, with typical spatial resolution of 1.5×1.5×1.5 - 3×3×3 mm(3), typical temporal resolution of 30-40 ms, and acquisition times in the order of 5 to 25 min. This consensus paper is the work of physicists, physicians and biomedical engineers, active in the development and implementation of 4D Flow CMR, who have repeatedly met to share experience and ideas. The paper aims to assist understanding of acquisition and analysis methods, and their potential clinical applications with a focus on the heart and greater vessels. We describe that 4D Flow CMR can be clinically advantageous because placement of a single acquisition volume is straightforward and enables flow through any plane across it to be calculated retrospectively and with good accuracy. We also specify research and development goals that have yet to be satisfactorily achieved. Derived flow parameters, generally needing further development or validation for clinical use, include measurements of wall shear stress, pressure difference, turbulent kinetic energy, and intracardiac flow components. The dependence of measurement accuracy on acquisition parameters is considered, as are the uses of different visualization strategies for appropriate representation of time-varying multidirectional flow fields. Finally, we offer suggestions for more consistent, user-friendly implementation of 4D Flow CMR acquisition and data handling with a view to multicenter studies and more widespread adoption of the approach in routine clinical investigations.", author = {Dyverfeldt, Petter and Bissell, Malenka and Barker, Alex J. and Bolger, Ann F. and Carlh{\"{a}}ll, Carl-Johan and Ebbers, Tino and Francios, Christopher J. and Frydrychowicz, Alex and Geiger, Julia and Giese, Daniel and Hope, Michael D. and Kilner, Philip J. and Kozerke, Sebastian and Myerson, Saul and Neubauer, Stefan and Wieben, Oliver and Markl, Michael}, doi = "10.1186/s12968-015-0174-5", issn = "1532-429X", journal = "Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance", month = "dec", number = 1, pages = 72, pmid = 26257141, title = "{4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance consensus statement}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26257141 http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=PMC4530492 http://jcmr-online.com/content/17/1/72", volume = 17, year = 2015 }

@article{Wald2015, abstract = "OBJECTIVE Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) are followed serially by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) for surveillance of RV dilation and dysfunction. We sought to define the prevalence of progressive RV disease and the optimal time interval between CMR evaluations. METHODS Candidates were selected from a multicentre TOF registry and were included if ≥2 CMR studies performed ≥6 months apart were available without interval cardiovascular interventions. Patients with 'disease progression' (defined as increase in RV end-diastolic volume index (RVEDVi) ≥30 mL/m(2), decrease in RVEF ≥10{\%} or decrease in LVEF ≥10{\%}) were compared with those with 'disease non-progression' (defined as RVEDVi increase ≤5 mL/m(2), RVEF decrease ≤3{\%} and LVEF decrease ≤3{\%}). RESULTS A total of 849 CMR studies in 339 patients (median age at first CMR 23.6 years) were analysed. Over a median interval of 2.2 years between CMR pairs, RVEDVi increased 4±18 mL/m(2) (p{\textless}0.001), RV end-systolic volume index increased 3±13 mL/m(2) (p{\textless}0.001), RVEF decreased 1{\%}±6{\%} (p=0.02) and LVEF decreased 1{\%}±6{\%} (p=0.001). Disease progression was observed in 15{\%} (n=76) and non-progression in 26{\%} (n=133). There were no significant differences between those with and without progression in baseline demographic, anatomic, ECG, exercise or baseline CMR characteristics. The optimal time interval between CMR studies for detection of progression was a 3-year interval (63{\%} sensitivity, 65{\%} specificity, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.65). CONCLUSIONS Although progressive RV dilation and decline in biventricular systolic function occur at a slow pace in the majority of adults with repaired TOF, 15{\%} of patients experience rapid disease progression.

A cross-sectional imaging study to identify organs at risk of thermal injury during renal artery sympathetic denervation.

URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Patel2015, abstract = "BACKGROUND The technology used to perform catheter-based renal artery sympathetic denervation has evolved: catheters can now access arteries as small as 3mm in diameter and create ablation zones of up to 10mm in depth. Recent evidence suggests that the procedure may be more effective if a more thorough ablation strategy is employed. Limited data are available regarding inadvertent soft tissue thermal injury during such procedures. We used computed tomography (CT) to identify structures lying within the expected thermal ablation field or the 'at risk zone' (ARZ). METHODS 63 consecutive CT aortograms were reviewed, yielding 100 renal arteries anatomically eligible for treatment. Structures lying within a predefined ARZ (within 10mm of the renal artery wall) were recorded. RESULTS The 63 subjects had a mean age of 74.6years, 48{\%} were males and 88{\%} had hypertension. The inferior vena cava and renal veins were in the ARZ in all cases. Psoas muscles and small bowel were within the ARZ in at least a fifth of the kidneys. Other structures found in the ARZ included the liver, pancreas, adrenal glands and diaphragm. CONCLUSIONS This study describes the variable anatomical relationship between renal arteries and important abdominal structures that may be exposed to thermal energy during modern denervation procedures. The consequence of delivering such thermal energy to these structures is unknown but clinicians should be alert to the presenting symptoms if these structures are damaged.

Biomechanical properties of the Marfan's aortic root and ascending aorta before and after personalised external aortic root support surgery.
Medical Engineering & Physics 37(8):759–766, August 2015.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Singh2015, abstract = "Marfan syndrome is an inherited systemic connective tissue disease which may lead to aortic root disease causing dilatation, dissection and rupture of the aorta. The standard treatment is a major operation involving either an artificial valve and aorta or a complex valve repair. More recently, a personalised external aortic root support (PEARS) has been used to strengthen the aorta at an earlier stage of the disease avoiding risk of both rupture and major surgery. The aim of this study was to compare the stress and strain fields of the Marfan aortic root and ascending aorta before and after insertion of PEARS in order to understand its biomechanical implications. Finite element (FE) models were developed using patient-specific aortic geometries reconstructed from pre and post-PEARS magnetic resonance images in three Marfan patients. For the post-PEARS model, two scenarios were investigated-a bilayer model where PEARS and the aortic wall were treated as separate layers, and a single-layer model where PEARS was incorporated into the aortic wall.

The impact of lipoprotein apheresis in patients with refractory angina and raised lipoprotein(a): Objectives and methods of a randomised controlled trial.
Atherosclerosis Supplements 18:103–108, May 2015.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Khan2015a, abstract = "It is well established that Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an independent cardiovascular risk factor and predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events. Lipoprotein apheresis is currently the most effective approved treatment available, with minimal effect conferred by conventional lipid lowering agents. A growing body of evidence suggests that aggressively lowering raised Lp(a) may improve cardiovascular and clinical outcomes, although more prospective research is required in this field. Angina which is refractory to conventional medical therapy and revascularisation is extremely challenging to manage. There is a significant unmet need to establish therapeutic options. Our goal is to determine the impact of lipoprotein apheresis on clinical parameters and symptoms of patients with refractory angina secondary to advanced coronary disease and raised Lp(a). Determining whether we should aggressively lower Lp(a) in such patients remains a very important question, which could potentially impact on the management of a large population. We will also gain insight into how this treatment works and the mechanisms via which Lp(a) increases cardiovascular risk. We are currently conducting a prospective, randomised controlled crossover study of patients with refractory angina and raised Lp(a), randomised to undergoing three months of weekly lipoprotein apheresis or sham apheresis. Patients will then crossover to the opposite study arm after a 1 month wash-out phase. We will assess myocardial perfusion, carotid atherosclerosis, endothelial vascular function, thrombogenesis, oxidised LDL and their antibodies, exercise capacity, angina and quality of life at the beginning and end of treatment, to determine the net true treatment effect on the above parameters.

These patients have a systemic right ventricle (RV) and are at risk of arrhythmia, premature RV failure, and sudden death. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty-five patients (aged 27±7 years) underwent LGE cardiovascular magnetic resonance and were followed for a median 7.8 (interquartile range, 3.8-9.6) years in a prospective single-center cohort study. RV LGE was present in 31 (56{\%}) patients. The prespecified composite clinical end point comprised new-onset sustained tachyarrhythmia (atrial/ventricular) or decompensated heart failure admission/transplantation/death. Univariate predictors of the composite end point (n=22 patients; 19 atrial/2 ventricular tachyarrhythmia, 1 death) included RV LGE presence and extent, RV volumes/mass/ejection fraction, right atrial area, peak Vo(2), and age at repair. In bivariate analysis, RV LGE presence was independently associated with the composite end point (hazard ratio, 4.95 [95{\%} confidence interval, 1.60-15.28]; P=0.005), and only percent predicted peak Vo(2) remained significantly associated with cardiac events after controlling for RV LGE (hazard ratio, 0.80 [95{\%} confidence interval, 0.68-0.95]; P=0.009/5{\%}). In 8 of 9 patients with {\textgreater}1 event, atrial tachyarrhythmia, itself a known risk factor for mortality, occurred first. There was agreement between location and extent of RV LGE at in vivo cardiovascular magnetic resonance and histologically documented focal RV fibrosis in an explanted heart. There was RV LGE progression in a different case restudied for clinical indications.

@article{Khan2015, abstract = "BACKGROUND Angina that is refractory to conventional medical therapy and revascularisation, remains challenging to manage and poses significant burden to patients. Elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has emerged as an important independent cardiovascular risk factor and predictor of adverse outcomes in atherosclerotic disease. The prevalence of raised Lp(a) amongst patients with refractory angina has not yet been defined. OBJECTIVE To establish the prevalence of raised [Lp(a)] {\textgreater}500 mg/L in patients with refractory angina. METHODS We conducted an epidemiological screening pilot study in 75 patients with refractory angina from a UK tertiary cardiac centre. We determined the proportion of the cohort with raised Lp(a) {\textgreater}500 mg/L using an isoform-insensitive method. In addition, a full fasting lipid profile (including: LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol to HDL ratio and triglycerides) was obtained. Patients were also asked about the presence of conventional cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS Our study demonstrated that 60{\%} of the 75 patients with refractory angina had raised Lp(a) levels of {\textgreater}500 mg/L. The median and inter-quartile range of Lp(a) values were 771 mg/L (162 mg/L,1260 mg/L) respectively.

Patients with rTOF had elevated BNP (8.9 (5.9-14.6) vs 5.4 (2.2-7.5) pmol/L; p{\textless}0.01), and BNP activation was common even in asymptomatic patients. Also, atrial natriuretic peptide (6.9 (4.0-9.9) vs 3.3 (1.0-4.0) pmol/L; p{\textless}0.01), endothelin-1 (1.14 (0.94-1.48) vs 0.75 (0.44-0.93) pmol/L; p{\textless}0.01) and renin (55.0 (45.5-66.5) vs 18.6 (12.0-22.7) pmol/L; p{\textless}0.01) were elevated at baseline compared with controls. Interactions between BNP with endothelin-1, cardiothoracic ratio and right atrial area were evident. Eight deaths occurred over a median follow-up of 10 years. On Cox regression analysis, BNP emerged as a strong predictor of death (HR 1.16 per 10 pmol/L, 95{\%} CI 1.05 to 1.29; p{\textless}0.01). Survival receiver operating curve analysis revealed an optimum cut-off of BNP ≥ 15 pmol/L (=52 pg/mL), above which BNP was related to significantly increased mortality (HR 5.40, 95{\%} CI 1.29 to 22.6; p{\textless}0.01); absolute mortality at 5 years 19{\%} vs 3{\%} in patients with BNP ≤ 15 pmol/L. BNP was also a predictor of sustained arrhythmia (HR 2.06 per 10 pmol/L, 95{\%} CI 1.32 to 3.21; p{\textless}0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Neurohormonal activation is present in adults with rTOF including asymptomatic patients. BNP level ≥ 15 pmol/L is associated with a fivefold increased risk of death.

@article{Keegan2015b, abstract = "BACKGROUND Qualitative and quantitative assessment of renal blood flow is valuable in the evaluation of patients with renal and renovascular diseases as well as in patients with heart failure. The temporal pattern of renal flow velocity through the cardiac cycle provides important information about renal haemodynamics. High temporal resolution interleaved spiral phase velocity mapping could potentially be used to study temporal patterns of flow and measure resistive and pulsatility indices which are measures of downstream resistance. METHODS A retrospectively gated breath-hold spiral phase velocity mapping sequence (TR 19 ms) was developed at 3 Tesla. Phase velocity maps were acquired in the proximal right and left arteries of 10 healthy subjects in each of two separate scanning sessions. Each acquisition was analysed by two independent observers who calculated the resistive index (RI), the pulsatility index (PI), the mean flow velocity and the renal artery blood flow (RABF). Inter-study and inter-observer reproducibility of each variable was determined as the mean +/- standard deviation of the differences between paired values. The effect of background phase errors on each parameter was investigated. RESULTS RI, PI, mean velocity and RABF per kidney were 0.71+/- 0.06, 1.47 +/- 0.29, 253.5 +/- 65.2 mm/s and 413 +/- 122 ml/min respectively. The inter-study reproducibilities were: RI -0.00 +/- 0.04 , PI -0.03 +/- 0.17, mean velocity -6.7 +/- 31.1 mm/s and RABF per kidney 17.9 +/- 44.8 ml/min.

In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), heart rate variability results in variable magnetization recovery between sequence repeats, and image quality is often poor. In this study, we implemented and tested a dynamic inversion time (dynamic-TI) scheme designed to reduce sequence sensitivity to heart rate variations. METHODS: An inversion-prepared 3D segmented gradient echo sequence was modified so that the TI varied automatically from beat-to-beat (dynamic-TI) based on the time since the last sequence repeat. 3D LGE acquisitions were performed in 17 patients prior to radio frequency ablation of persistent AF both with and without dynamic-TI. Qualitative image quality scores, blood signal-to-ghosting ratios (SGRs). and blood-myocardium contrast-to-ghosting ratios (CGRs) were compared.

Predictors of paravalvular aortic regurgitation following self-expanding Medtronic CoreValve implantation: The role of annulus size, degree of calcification, and balloon size during pre-implantation valvuloplasty and implant depth.

@article{Ali2015, abstract = "OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate the role of balloon size during pre-implantation valvuloplasty in predicting AR and optimal Medtronic CoreValve (MCS) implantation depth. BACKGROUND Paravalvular aortic regurgitation (AR) is common following MCS implantation. A number of anatomical and procedural variables have been proposed as determinants of AR including degree of valve calcification, valve undersizing and implantation depth. METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis of 282 patients who had undergone MCS implantation with prior cardiac CT annular sizing between 2007 and 2011. Native valve minimum (Dmin), maximum (Dmax) and arithmetic mean (Dmean) annulus diameters as well as agatston calcium score were recorded. Nominal and achieved balloon size was also recorded. AR was assessed using contrast angiography at the end of each procedure. Implant depth was measured as the mean distance from the nadir of the non- and left coronary sinuses to the distal valve frame angiographically. RESULTS 29 mm and 26 mm MCS were implanted in 60{\%} and 39{\%} of patients respectively. The majority of patients (N=165) developed AR {\textless}2 following MCS implantation. AR ≥3 was observed in 16{\%} of the study population. High agatston calcium score and Dmean were found to be independent predictors of AR ≥3 in multivariate analysis (P{\textless}0.0001). Nominal balloon diameter and the number of balloon inflations did not influence AR. However a small achieved balloon diameter-to-Dmean ratio (≤0.85) showed modest correlation with AR ≥3 (P=0.04). This observation was made irrespective of the degree of valve calcification. A small MCS size-to-Dmean ratio is also associated with AR ≥3 (P=0.001). A mean implantation depth of ≥8+2mm was also associated with AR ≥3. Implantation depth of ≥12 mm was associated with small MCS diameter-to-Dmean ratio and increased 30-day mortality. CONCLUSION CT measured aortic annulus diameter and agatston calcium score remain important predictors of significant AR. Other procedural predictors include valve undersizing and low implantation depth. A small achieved balloon diameter-to-Dmean ratio might also predict AR ≥3.

@article{Moceri2015, abstract = "BACKGROUND Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) is the most advanced form of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) related to congenital heart disease. Several studies have suggested that the presence and location of the shunt defines the natural history of these patients by influencing right ventricular adaptation to PAH. We aimed to echocardiographically assess differences in cardiac physiology and outcome between various types of ES. METHODS AND RESULTS In this longitudinal cohort study, 191 patients with ES and non-complex congenital heart disease were recruited, 36 with pre-tricuspid and 155 with post-tricuspid shunts. Patients with pre-tricuspid shunts were older, had higher BNP concentrations and lower exercise tolerance compared to patients with post-tricuspid shunts. Right ventricular (RV) function was impaired in patients with atrial septal defects, with larger right ventricles, impaired systolic function and adaptation. The left ventricular eccentricity index was significantly higher in pre-tricuspid defects. Within post-tricuspid shunts, patients with atrio-ventricular septal defects had better right ventricular function compared to ventricular septal defects, while in those with a patent ductus arteriosus this was worse. There was a trend towards lower mortality in patients with post versus pre-tricuspid shunts, which was significant for patients above the age of 48 years. CONCLUSION The presence of a post-tricuspid shunt appears to carry physiological and possibly prognostic benefits in ES compared to patients with pre-tricuspid shunts.

@article{Roberts2015, abstract = "The recent discovery of heterozygous human mutations that truncate full-length titin (TTN, an abundant structural, sensory, and signaling filament in muscle) as a common cause of end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) promises new prospects for improving heart failure management. However, realization of this opportunity has been hindered by the burden of TTN-truncating variants (TTNtv) in the general population and uncertainty about their consequences in health or disease. To elucidate the effects of TTNtv, we coupled TTN gene sequencing with cardiac phenotyping in 5267 individuals across the spectrum of cardiac physiology and integrated these data with RNA and protein analyses of human heart tissues. We report diversity of TTN isoform expression in the heart, define the relative inclusion of TTN exons in different isoforms (using the TTN transcript annotations available at http://cardiodb.org/titin), and demonstrate that these data, coupled with the position of the TTNtv, provide a robust strategy to discriminate pathogenic from benign TTNtv. We show that TTNtv is the most common genetic cause of DCM in ambulant patients in the community, identify clinically important manifestations of TTNtv-positive DCM, and define the penetrance and outcomes of TTNtv in the general population. By integrating genetic, transcriptome, and protein analyses, we provide evidence for a length-dependent mechanism of disease.

@article{Kellman2015, abstract = "BACKGROUND Pixel-wise T2* maps based on breath-held segmented image acquisition are prone to ghost artifacts in instances of poor breath-holding or cardiac arrhythmia. Single shot imaging is inherently immune to ghost type artifacts. We propose a free-breathing method based on respiratory motion corrected single shot imaging with averaging to improve the signal to noise ratio. METHODS Images were acquired using a multi-echo gradient recalled echo sequence and T2* maps were calculated at each pixel by exponential fitting. For 40 subjects (2 cohorts), two acquisition protocols were compared: (1) a breath-held, segmented acquisition, and (2) a free-breathing, single-shot multiple repetition respiratory motion corrected average. T2* measurements in the interventricular septum and liver were compared for the 2-methods in all studies with diagnostic image quality. RESULTS In cohort 1 (N = 28) with age 51.4 ± 17.6 (m ± SD) including 1 subject with severe myocardial iron overload, there were 8 non-diagnostic breath-held studies due to poor image quality resulting from ghost artifacts caused by respiratory motion or arrhythmias. In cohort 2 (N = 12) with age 30.9 ± 7.5 (m ± SD), including 7 subjects with severe myocardial iron overload and 4 subjects with mild iron overload, a single subject was unable to breath-hold.

@article{Ismail2014a, abstract = "OBJECTIVE: Myocardial fibrosis identified by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with adverse cardiovascular events, but its value as an independent risk factor for sudden cardiac death (SCD) is unknown. We investigated the role of LGE-CMR in the risk stratification of HCM. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study in a tertiary referral centre. Consecutive patients with HCM (n=711, median age 56.3 years, IQR 46.7-66.6; 70.0{\%} male) underwent LGE-CMR and were followed for a median 3.5 years. The primary end point was SCD or aborted SCD. RESULTS: Overall, 471 patients (66.2{\%}) had myocardial fibrosis (median 5.9{\%} of left ventricular mass, IQR: 2.2-13.3). Twenty-two (3.1{\%}) reached the primary end point. The extent but not the presence of fibrosis was a significant univariable predictor of the primary end point (HR per 5{\%} LGE: 1.24, 95{\%} CI 1.06 to 1.45; p=0.007 and HR for LGE: 2.69, 95{\%} CI 0.91 to 7.97; p=0.073, respectively). However, on multivariable analysis, only LV-EF remained statistically significant (HR: 0.92, 95{\%} CI 0.89 to 0.95; p{\textless}0.001). For the secondary outcome of cardiovascular mortality/aborted SCD, the presence and the amount of fibrosis were significant predictors on univariable but not multivariable analysis after adjusting for LV-EF and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. CONCLUSIONS: The amount of myocardial fibrosis was a strong univariable predictor of SCD risk. However, this effect was not maintained after adjusting for LV-EF.

Retrospective cardiac gating is used to acquire data over the entire cardiac cycle. The acquisition is accelerated by factors of 2 and 3 by use of non-Cartesian SENSE implemented on the Gadgetron GPU system resulting in breath-holds of 17 and 13 heartbeats, respectively. Systolic, early diastolic, and atrial systolic global and regional longitudinal, circumferential, and radial velocities are determined. RESULTS: Global and regional velocities agree well with those previously reported. The two acceleration factors show no significant differences for any quantitative parameter and the results also closely match previously acquired higher spatial resolution navigator-gated data in the same subjects.

@article{Keegan2014a, abstract = "PURPOSE: Navigator-gated three-dimensional (3D) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging demonstrates scarring following ablation of atrial fibrillation. An artifact originating from the slice-selective navigator-restore pulse is frequently present in the right pulmonary veins (PVs), obscuring the walls and making quantification of enhancement difficult. We describe a simple sequence modification to greatly reduce or remove this artifact. METHODS: A navigator-gated inversion-prepared gradient echo sequence was modified so that the slice-selective navigator-restore pulse was delayed in time from the nonselective preparation (NAV-restore-delayed). Both NAV-restore-delayed and conventional 3D LGE acquisitions were performed in 11 patients and the results compared. RESULTS: One patient was excluded due to severe respiratory motion artifact in both NAV-restore-delayed and conventional acquisitions. Moderate to severe artifact was present in 9 of the remaining 10 patients using the conventional sequence and was considerably reduced when using the NAV-restore-delayed sequence (ostial PV to blood pool ratio, 1.7 ± 0.5 versus 1.1 ± 0.2, respectively [P {\textless} 0.0001]; qualitative artifact scores, 2.8 ± 1.1 versus 1.2 ± 0.4, respectively [P {\textless} 0.001]). While navigator signal-to-noise ratio was reduced with the NAV-restore-delayed sequence, respiratory motion compensation was unaffected.

URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Scott2014, abstract = "PURPOSE: To investigate the influence of the diffusion weighting on in vivo cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) and obtain optimal parameters. METHODS: Ten subjects were scanned using stimulated echo acquisition mode echo planar imaging with six b-values, from 50 to 950 s{\textperiodcentered}mm(-2) , plus b = 15 s{\textperiodcentered}mm(-2) reference. The relationship between b-value and both signal loss and signal-to-noise ratio measures was investigated. Mean diffusivity, fractional anisotropy, and helical angle maps were calculated using all possible b-value pairs to investigate the effects of diffusion weighting on the main and reference data. RESULTS: Signal decay at low b-values was dominated by processes with high apparent diffusion coefficients, most likely microvascular perfusion. This effect could be avoided by diffusion weighting of the reference images. Parameter maps were improved with increased b-value until the diffusion-weighted signal approached the noise floor. For the protocol used in this study, b = 750 s{\textperiodcentered}mm(-2) combined with 150 s{\textperiodcentered}mm(-2) diffusion weighting of the reference images proved optimal. CONCLUSION: Mean diffusivity, fractional anisotropy, and helical angle from cDTI are influenced by the b-value of the main and reference data. Using optimal values improves parameter maps and avoids microvascular perfusion effects. This optimized protocol should provide greater sensitivity to pathological changes in parameter maps.

We aim to provide a better distinction between normal left ventricular trabeculations and LVNC. We used a previously well-defined cohort of 120 healthy volunteers for normal reference values of the trabecular/compacted ratio derived from a consistent selection of short-axis cardiovascular magnetic resonance images. We performed forward selection of logistic regression models, selecting the best model that was subsequently assessed for discrimination and calibration, validated, and converted into a clinical diagnostic chart to benchmark the boundaries of detection from a cohort of 30 patients considered to have LVNC. We showed that 3 combinations of a maximal end-diastolic trabecular/compacted ratio (≥1 [apex], {\textgreater}1.8 [midcavity]), ({\textgreater}2 [apex], ≥0.6 [midcavity]), or ({\textgreater}0.5 [base], {\textgreater}1.8 [midcavity]) separate the cohorts with the highest accuracy (C statistic [95{\%} confidence interval] of 0.9749 (0.9748 to 0.9751) for the diagnostic chart). Quantitative cardiovascular magnetic resonance also shows that patients considered to have LVNC have a significantly reduced ejection fraction compared with normal volunteers.

Markers of left ventricular decompensation in aortic stenosis..
Expert review of cardiovascular therapy 12(7):901–12, July 2014.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Chin2014, abstract = "Calcified aortic stenosis is a condition that affects the valve and the myocardium. As the valve narrows, left ventricular hypertrophy occurs initially as an adaptive mechanism to maintain cardiac output. Ultimately, the ventricle decompensates and patients transition towards heart failure and adverse events. Current guidelines recommend aortic valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis and evidence of decompensation based on either symptoms or an impaired ejection fraction {\textless}50{\%}.

Improved pixel-by-pixel MRI R2* relaxometry by nonlocal means..
Magnetic resonance in medicine : official journal of the Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine / Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine 72(1):260–8, July 2014.

@article{Feng2014, abstract = "PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of improving MRI R2* mapping by filtering the images before curve-fitting. METHODS: Pixel-by-pixel curve-fitting for the quantification of MRI relaxometry remains a challenge for low signal-to-noise ratio images. By computing the weighted mean of spatially adjacent pixels, the low-pass Gaussian (LPG) filter can suppress the noise but at the expense of blurring. By assigning high weights to pixels with similar neighborhood patches, the nonlocal means (NLM) algorithm can reduce noise while retaining intrinsic signals, however, its potential has not been explored in pixel-by-pixel MRI relaxometry, and in this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of the LPG and the NLM filtering on decay signals and MRI R2* mapping. These two filtering methods were compared on both simulated and in vivo data. RESULTS: Both LPG and NLM algorithms produces R2* maps with decreased root-mean-square-errors. The LPG filter blurs edges of R2* maps while the NLM algorithm preserves details well. The NLM consistently yields R2* mapping with smaller errors than the LPG filtering in all cases. CONCLUSION: Pixel-by-pixel fitting can skew MRI relaxometry. The NLM outperforms the conventional LPG filter and has the potential to provide more accurate pixel-by-pixel MRI relaxometry for improved tissue characterization.", author = "Feng, Yanqiu and He, Taigang and Feng, Meiyan and Carpenter, John-Paul and Greiser, Andreas and Xin, Xuegang and Chen, Wufan and Pennell, Dudley J. and Yang, Guang-Zhong and Firmin, David N.", doi = "10.1002/mrm.24914", issn = "1522-2594", journal = "Magnetic resonance in medicine : official journal of the Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine / Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine", keywords = ",MRI relaxometry,R2* mapping,noise,nonlocal means,pixel-by-pixel", month = "jul", number = 1, pages = "260--8", pmid = 23963595, title = "{Improved pixel-by-pixel MRI R2* relaxometry by nonlocal means.}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23963595 http://doi.wiley.com/10.1002/mrm.24914", volume = 72, year = 2014 }

Personalised external aortic root support (PEARS) in Marfan syndrome: analysis of 1-9 year outcomes by intention-to-treat in a cohort of the first 30 consecutive patients to receive a novel tissue and valve-conserving procedure, compared with the publishe.

@article{Treasure2014, abstract = "OBJECTIVE: Among people with Marfan syndrome who have a typical aortic root aneurysm, dissection is a characteristic cause of premature death. To pre-empt Type A dissection, composite root replacement with a mechanical valve became the standard of care in the 1980s and 1990s. This is being superseded by valve-sparing aortic root replacement to avoid lifelong anticoagulation. In 2004, a total root and valve-sparing procedure, personalised external aortic support, was introduced. We report here results among the first 30 recipients. METHODS: From cross-sectional digital images, the patient's own aorta is modelled by computer aided design and a replica is made in thermoplastic by rapid prototyping. On this, a personalised support of a macroporous polymer mesh is manufactured. The mesh is positioned around the aorta, closely applied from the aortoventricular junction to beyond the brachiocephalic artery. The operation is performed with a beating heart and usually without cardiopulmonary bypass. RESULTS: Between 2004 and 2011, 30 patients, median age 28 years (IQR 20-44) had this operation and have been prospectively followed for 1.4-8.8 years by February 2013. During a total of 133 patient-years there were no deaths or cerebrovascular, aortic or valve-related events. These early outcomes are better than published results for the more radical extirpative root replacement operations. CONCLUSIONS: The aortic valve, the root architecture, and the blood/endothelia interface are conserved. The perioperative burden is less and there has been freedom from aortic and valvular events. A prospective comparative study is planned.", author = "Treasure, Tom and Takkenberg, Johanna J M and Golesworthy, Tal and Rega, Filip and Petrou, Mario and Rosendahl, Ulrich and Mohiaddin, Raad and Rubens, Michael and Thornton, Warren and Lees, Belinda and Pepper, John", doi = "10.1136/heartjnl-2013-304913", file = ":C$\backslash$:/Users/yk822/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Treasure et al. - 2014 - Personalised external aortic root support (PEARS) in Marfan syndrome analysis of 1-9 year outcomes by intention.pdf:pdf", issn = "1468-201X", journal = "Heart (British Cardiac Society)", keywords = ",Adult,Aortic Aneurysm,Aortic Aneurysm: diagnosis,Aortic Aneurysm: etiology,Aortic Aneurysm: surgery,Aortic Valve,Aortic Valve: surgery,Belgium,Blood Vessel Prosthesis,Blood Vessel Prosthesis Implantation,Blood Vessel Prosthesis Implantation: adverse effe,Blood Vessel Prosthesis Implantation: instrumentat,Computer-Aided Design,Computer-Assisted,Computer-Assisted: adverse effects,Computer-Assisted: instrumentation,Female,Follow-Up Studies,Heart Valve Prosthesis Implantation,Humans,Individualized Medicine,Intention to Treat Analysis,London,Magnetic Resonance Angiography,Male,Marfan Syndrome,Marfan Syndrome: complications,Marfan Syndrome: diagnosis,Prospective Studies,Prosthesis Design,Surgery,Surgical Mesh,Time Factors,Treatment Outcome,Young Adult", month = "jun", number = 12, pages = "969--75", pmid = 24395977, title = "{Personalised external aortic root support (PEARS) in Marfan syndrome: analysis of 1-9 year outcomes by intention-to-treat in a cohort of the first 30 consecutive patients to receive a novel tissue and valve-conserving procedure, compared with the publishe}", url = "http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=4033204{\&}tool=pmcentrez{\&}rendertype=abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24395977 http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=PMC4033204 http://heart.bmj.com/lookup/doi/10.1136/heartjnl-2013-304913", volume = 100, year = 2014 }

@article{Chen2014, abstract = "BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is ideal for assessing patients with repaired aortic coarctation (CoA). Little is known on the relation between long-term complications of CoA repair as assessed by CMR and clinical outcome. We examined the prevalence of restenosis and dilatation at the repair site and the long-term outcome in patients with repaired CoA. METHODS AND RESULTS: CMR imaging and clinical data for adult CoA patients (247 patients aged 33.0 ± 12.8 years, 60{\%} male), were analyzed. The diameter of the aorta at the repair site was measured on CMR and its ratio to the aortic diameter at the diaphragm (repair site-diaphragm ratio, RDR) was calculated. Restenosis (RDR≤70{\%}) was present in 31{\%} of patients (and significant in 9{\%} [RDR{\textless}50{\%}]), and dilatation (RDR{\textgreater}150{\%}) in 13.0{\%}. A discrete aneurysm at the repair site was observed in 9{\%}. Restenosis was more likely after resection and end-end anastomosis, whereas dilatation after patch repair. Systemic hypertension was present in 69{\%} of patients. Of the hypertensive patients, blood pressure (133 ± 20/73 ± 10 mm Hg) was well controlled in 93{\%} with antihypertensive therapy. Mortality rate over a median length of 5.9 years was low (0.69{\%} per year, 95{\%} CI: 0.33-1.26), but significantly higher than age-matched healthy controls (standardised mortality ratio 2.86, CI 1.43-5.72, p{\textless}0.001). CONCLUSION: Restenosis or dilatation at the CoA repair site as assessed by CMR is not uncommon. Medium term survival remains good, however, albeit lower than in the general population.

T₁ mapping detects pharmacological retardation of diffuse cardiac fibrosis in mouse pressure-overload hypertrophy..

@article{Stuckey2014, abstract = "BACKGROUND: Diffuse interstitial fibrosis is present in diverse cardiomyopathies and associated with poor prognosis. We investigated whether magnetic resonance imaging-based T1 mapping could quantify the induction and pharmacological suppression of diffuse cardiac fibrosis in murine pressure-overload hypertrophy. METHODS AND RESULTS: Mice were subjected to transverse aortic constriction or sham surgery. The angiotensin receptor blocker losartan was given to half the animals. Cine-magnetic resonance imaging performed at 7 and 28 days showed hypertrophy and remodeling and systolic and diastolic dysfunction in transverse aortic constriction groups as expected. Late gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging revealed focal signal enhancement at the inferior right ventricular insertion point of transverse aortic constriction mice concordant with the foci of fibrosis in histology. The extracellular volume fraction, calculated from pre- and postcontrast T1 measurements, was elevated by transverse aortic constriction and showed direct linear correlation with picrosirius red collagen volume fraction, thus confirming the suitability of extracellular volume fraction as an in vivo measure of diffuse fibrosis. Treatment with losartan reduced left ventricular dysfunction and prevented increased extracellular volume fraction, indicating that T1 mapping is sensitive to pharmacological prevention of fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS: Magnetic resonance imaging can detect diffuse and focal cardiac fibrosis in a clinically relevant animal model of pressure overload and is sensitive to pharmacological reduction of fibrosis by angiotensin receptor blockade.

Prevalence of inferobasal myocardial crypts among patients referred for cardiovascular magnetic resonance..
Circulation. Cardiovascular imaging 7(2):259–64, March 2014.

@article{Petryka2014, abstract = "BACKGROUND: Crypts or clefts in the left ventricular inferobasal myocardium have been detected by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), but the extent to which they represent prephenotypic markers of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) or incidental structural variants remains controversial. METHODS AND RESULTS: We examined retrospectively the routine vertical long-axis cines in 686 consecutive patients (48±20 years, 55{\%} men) referred for CMR. Crypts were identified in 46 (6.7{\%}), 17 being among patients (8.7{\%} of 196) with otherwise normal CMR findings and without a known family history of HCM. Higher percentages were found in patients with HCM (16{\%}), myocarditis (15{\%}), and hypertension (14{\%}) but without reaching statistical significance (P=0.12). Only 1 (5{\%}) of 20 phenotype-negative HCM family members had a visible crypt. Relative to those without, patients with crypts had lower indexed left ventricular end-systolic volumes (P=0.042) and higher indexed left and right ventricular stroke volumes (P=0.007 and P=0.015) and ejection fractions (P=0.003 and P=0.021). Crypts tended to narrow in systole, varying slightly in size, shape- and number, without obvious group-related features. CONCLUSIONS: Single or paired inferobasal myocardial crypts were an occasional and by no means rare finding among patients referred for CMR without a pretest suspicion of HCM. This, together with similar previous findings in a cohort of healthy volunteers, supports their being regarded, in such individuals, as incidental variants of local myocardial structure, unlikely to require further investigation.

Low prevalence of cardiac siderosis in heavily iron loaded Egyptian thalassemia major patients..
Annals of hematology 93(3):375–9, March 2014.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{ElBeshlawy2014, abstract = "Myocardial siderosis in thalassemia major remains the leading cause of death in developing countries. Once heart failure develops, the outlook is usually poor with precipitous deterioration and death. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can measure cardiac iron deposition directly using the magnetic relaxation time T2*. This allows earlier diagnosis and treatment and helps to reduce mortality from this cardiac affection. This study aims to determine the prevalence of cardiac siderosis in Egyptian patients who are heavily iron loaded and its relation to liver iron concentration, serum ferritin, and left ventricular ejection fraction. Eighty-nine $\beta$-thalassemia patients receiving chelation therapy (mean age of 20.8 ± 6.4 years) were recruited in this study. Tissue iron levels were determined by CMR with cardiac T2* and liver R2*. The mean ± standard deviation (range) of cardiac T2* was 28.5 ± 11.7 ms (4.3 to 53.8 ms), the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 67.7 ± 4.7 {\%} (55 to 78 {\%}), and the liver iron concentration (LIC) was 26.1 ± 13.4 mg Fe/g dry weight (dw) (1.5 to 56 mg Fe/g dw). The mean serum ferritin was 4,510 ± 2,847 ng/ml (533 to 22,360 ng/ml), and in 83.2 {\%}, the serum ferritin was {\textgreater}2,500 ng/ml. The prevalence of myocardial siderosis (T2* of {\textless}20 ms) was 24.7 {\%} (mean age 20.9 ± 7.5 years), with mean T2* of 12.7 ± 4.4 ms, mean LVEF of 68.6 ±5.8 {\%}, mean LIC of 30.9 ± 13 mg Fe/g dw, and median serum ferritin of 4,996 ng/ml. There was no correlation between T2* and age, LVEF, LIC, and serum ferritin (P = 0.65, P = 0.085, P = 0.99, and P = 0.63, respectively). Severe cardiac siderosis (T2* of {\textless}10 ms) was present in 7.9 {\%}, with a mean age of 18.4 ± 4.4 years. Although these patients had a mean T2* of 7.8 ± 1.7 ms, the LVEF was 65.1 ± 6.2 {\%}, and only one patient had heart failure (T2* of 4.3 ms and LVEF of 55 {\%}). LIC and serum ferritin results were 29.8 ± 17.0 mg/g and 7,200 ± 6,950 ng/ml, respectively. In this group of severe cardiac siderosis, T2* was also not correlated to age (P = 0.5), LVEF (P = 0.14), LIC (P = 0.97), or serum ferritin (P = 0.82).

@article{Keegan2014, abstract = "PURPOSE: Acquisition durations of navigator-gated high-resolution three-dimensional late gadolinium enhancement studies may typically be up to 10 min, depending on the respiratory efficiency and heart rate. Implementation of the continuously adaptive windowing strategy (CLAWS) could increase respiratory efficiency, but the resulting non-smooth k-space acquisition order during gadolinium wash-out could result in increased artifact. METHODS: Navigator-gated three-dimensional late gadolinium enhancement acquisitions were performed in 18 patients using tracking end-expiratory accept/reject (EE-ARA) and CLAWS algorithms in random order. RESULTS: Retrospective analysis of the stored navigator data shows that CLAWS scan times are very close to (within 1{\%}) or equal to the fastest achievable scan times while EE-ARA significantly extends the acquisition duration (P {\textless} 0.0001). EE-ARA acquisitions are 26{\%} longer than CLAWS acquisitions (378 ± 104 s compared to 301 ± 85 s, P = 0.002). Image quality scores for CLAWS and EE-ARA acquisitions are not significantly different (4.1 ± 0.6 compared to 4.3 ± 0.6, P = ns). Numerical phantom simulations show that the non-uniform k-space ordering introduced by CLAWS results in slight, but not statistically significant, reductions in both blood signal-to-noise ratio (10{\%}) and blood-myocardium contrast-to-noise ratio (12{\%}). CONCLUSIONS: CLAWS results in markedly reduced acquisition durations compared to EE-ARA without significant detriment to the image quality.

T2* imaging of the heart: methods, applications, and outcomes..
Topics in magnetic resonance imaging : TMRI 23(1):13–20, February 2014.

@article{Baksi2014a, abstract = "This review describes and discusses the rationale, technique, applications, and impact of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T2* imaging, principally in the assessment of iron loading within the heart, and highlights how this robust imaging strategy has transformed disease outcome.Until recently, no simple noninvasive measurement was available to reliably indicate severe cardiac iron loading before the development of overt cardiac dysfunction or heart failure. Consequently, the majority of patients with transfusion-dependent anemias, such as $\beta$-thalassemia major, died prematurely of cardiovascular complications of severe iron overload.The magnetic properties of particulate iron disrupt magnetic field homogeneity in the CMR environment and consequently influence the CMR parameter T2*, which describes signal decay relating to both field inhomogeneity and loss of spin coherence. There is a direct relationship between T2* and myocardial iron concentration, enabling this to be used to identify and quantify myocardial iron load. Single breath-hold gradient-echo sequences in which a single midventricular short-axis myocardial slice is acquired at multiple echo times enables a myocardial T2* value to be measured from the rate of exponential decay. The application of T2* CMR to assessing cardiac iron loading is rapid, reproducible, extensively validated, and now widely performed. Data have highlighted the profound predictive power of this imaging technique and moreover its ability to inform management strategies such that, over a relatively short duration, outcome has been dramatically improved, and the disease course in $\beta$-thalassemia major transformed.", author = "Baksi, Arun John and Pennell, Dudley John", doi = "10.1097/RMR.0000000000000011", issn = "1536-1004", journal = "Topics in magnetic resonance imaging : TMRI", keywords = "Algorithms,Biological Markers,Biological Markers: metabolism,Heart Failure,Heart Failure: diagnosis,Heart Failure: etiology,Heart Failure: metabolism,Humans,Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted,Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted: methods,Iron,Iron Overload,Iron Overload: complications,Iron Overload: diagnosis,Iron Overload: metabolism,Iron: metabolism,Magnetic Resonance Imaging,Magnetic Resonance Imaging: methods,Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy,Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: methods", month = "feb", number = 1, pages = "13--20", pmid = 24509620, title = "{T2* imaging of the heart: methods, applications, and outcomes.}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24509620", volume = 23, year = 2014 }

Long-term antihypertensive treatment fails to improve E/e' despite regression of left ventricular mass: an Anglo-Scandinavian cardiac outcomes trial substudy..

@article{Barron2014, abstract = "Antihypertensive treatment can improve tissue Doppler indices of left ventricular diastolic function in the short term, but little is known about the longer-term effect of different antihypertensive treatments on progression of left ventricular diastolic function and left ventricular hypertrophy. We hypothesized that long-term treatment of hypertension will lead to improvements in left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic function. We collected detailed cardiovascular phenotypic data on 1006 participants from a substudy of the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial. Patients randomized to either an amlodipine±perindopril-based or an atenolol±bendroflumethiazide-based regimen underwent conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography at time of control of blood pressure after randomization (≈1.5 years; phase 1) and after a further 2 years of antihypertensive treatment (phase 2). There were no prerandomization data. Five hundred thirty-six patients had complete data collection at both phases. Left ventricular mass index regressed from phase 1 to 2 with no significant difference between treatment groups (amlodipine: 119.5-116.8; atenolol: 122.9-117.5; P{\textless}0.001 for both). Conversely, tissue Doppler diastolic indices did not change in the amlodipine±perindopril-based regimen (E/e', 7.5-7.6 cm/s; P=not significant), but deteriorated in the atenolol±bendroflumethiazide-based regimen (E/e', 8.0-8.5 cm/s; P{\textless}0.01). Despite regression of left ventricular hypertrophy, there was no associated improvement in diastolic function. In fact, long-term treatment with atenolol±bendroflumethiazide resulted in a progressive deterioration in E/e'.

The expanding role of lipoprotein apheresis in the treatment of raised lipoprotein(a) in ischaemic heart disease and refractory angina..

@article{Khan2014, abstract = "It is increasingly recognised that lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], an inherited, genetically-determined form of LDL-cholesterol, is an independent cardiovascular risk factor and predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Lp(a) is felt to increase cardiovascular risk via its pro-thrombotic effect and by enhancing intimal lipoprotein deposition. Lipoprotein apheresis is currently the most effective treatment for raised Lp(a). There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that aggressively lowering raised Lp(a) may improve cardiovascular and clinical outcomes, although much more research is required in this field. Angina which is refractory to conventional medical therapy and revascularisation, is extremely challenging to manage. Treatment options for such patients remain very limited.

@article{Friedrich2014, abstract = "We propose a set of simplified terms to describe applied Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) pulse sequence techniques in clinical reports, scientific articles and societal guidelines or recommendations.

The quality of the submissions continues to increase. The editors are delighted to report that the 2012 JCMR Impact Factor (which is published in June 2013) has risen to 5.11, up from 4.44 for 2011 (as published in June 2012), a 15{\%} increase and taking us through the 5 threshold for the first time. The 2012 impact factor means that the JCMR papers that were published in 2010 and 2011 were cited on average 5.11 times in 2012. The impact factor undergoes natural variation according to citation rates of papers in the 2 years following publication, and is significantly influenced by highly cited papers such as official reports. However, the progress of the journal's impact over the last 5 years has been impressive. Our acceptance rate is {\textless}25{\%} and has been falling because the number of articles being submitted has been increasing. In accordance with Open-Access publishing, the JCMR articles go on-line as they are accepted with no collating of the articles into sections or special thematic issues. For this reason, the Editors have felt that it is useful once per calendar year to summarize the papers for the readership into broad areas of interest or theme, so that areas of interest can be reviewed in a single article in relation to each other and other recent JCMR articles. The papers are presented in broad themes and set in context with related literature and previously published JCMR papers to guide continuity of thought in the journal.

@article{Broberg2014, abstract = "BACKGROUND: A relationship between myocardial fibrosis and ventricular dysfunction has been demonstrated using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the pressure-loaded right ventricle from congenital heart defects. In patients with Eisenmenger syndrome (ES), the presence of LGE has not been investigated. The aims of this study were to detect any myocardial fibrosis in ES and describe major clinical variables associated with the finding. METHODS: From 45 subjects screened, 30 subjects (age 43 ± 13 years, 20 female) underwent prospective cardiovascular magnetic resonance with LGE to quantify biventricular volume and function as well as maximal and submaximal exercise during a single visit. Standard cine acquisitions were obtained for ventricular volume and function. Further imaging was performed after administration of 0.1 mmol/kg gadolinium contrast. Regions of LGE were evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively by manual contouring of identified areas, with total area expressed as a percentage of mass. Patients were followed prospectively (mean follow up 7.4 ± 0.4 years) and any deaths recorded. Patients with LGE findings were compared to those without. RESULTS: LGE was present in 22/30 (73{\%}) patients, specifically in RV myocardium (70{\%}), RV trabeculae (60{\%}), LV myocardium (33{\%}) or LV papillary muscles (30{\%}), though in small amounts (mean 1.4{\%} of total ventricular mass, range 0.16 - 6.0{\%}). Those with any LGE were not different in age, history of arrhythmia, desaturation, nor hemoglobin, nor ventricular size, mass, or function. Exercise capacity was low, but also not different between those with and without LGE. Similarly no significant associations were found with amount of fibrosis. There were five deaths among patients with LGE, versus two in patients without, but no difference in survival (log rank =0.03, P = 0.85). CONCLUSIONS: Myocardial fibrosis by LGE is common in ES, though not extensive. The presence and quantity of LGE did not correlate with ventricular size, function, degree of cyanosis, exercise capacity, or survival in this pilot study. More data are clearly required before recommendations for routine use of LGE in these patients can be made.", author = "Broberg, Craig S and Prasad, Sanjay K and Carr, Chad and Babu-Narayan, Sonya V and Dimopoulos, Konstantinos and Gatzoulis, Michael A", doi = "10.1186/1532-429X-16-32", file = ":C$\backslash$:/Users/yk822/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Broberg et al. - 2014 - Myocardial fibrosis in Eisenmenger syndrome a descriptive cohort study exploring associations of late gadolinium.pdf:pdf", issn = "1532-429X", journal = "Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance", keywords = ",Adult,Cine,Contrast Media,Contrast Media: diagnostic use,Eisenmenger Complex,Eisenmenger Complex: complications,Eisenmenger Complex: diagnosis,Eisenmenger Complex: mortality,Eisenmenger Complex: pathology,Eisenmenger Complex: physiopathology,Exercise Test,Exercise Tolerance,Female,Fibrosis,Humans,Kaplan-Meier Estimate,Left,Magnetic Resonance Imaging,Male,Middle Aged,Myocardium,Myocardium: pathology,Pilot Projects,Predictive Value of Tests,Prognosis,Prospective Studies,Right,Risk Factors,Time Factors,Ventricular Function", month = "jan", number = 1, pages = 32, pmid = 24886403, title = "{Myocardial fibrosis in Eisenmenger syndrome: a descriptive cohort study exploring associations of late gadolinium enhancement with clinical status and survival.}", url = "http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=4051886{\&}tool=pmcentrez{\&}rendertype=abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24886403 http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=PMC4051886 http://jcmr-online.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1532-429X-16-32", volume = 16, year = 2014 }

@article{House2014, abstract = "BACKGROUND: MRI assessment of cardiac iron is particularly important for assessing transfusion-dependent anaemia patients. However, comparing the iron distribution from histology or bulk samples to MRI is not ideal. Non-destructive, high-resolution imaging of post-mortem samples offers the ability to examine iron distributions across large samples at resolutions closer to those used in MRI. The aim of this ex vivo case study was to compare synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) elemental iron maps with magnetic resonance transverse relaxation rate maps of cardiac tissue samples from an iron-loaded patient. METHODS: Two 5 mm thick slices of formalin fixed cardiac tissue from a Diamond Blackfan anaemia patient were imaged in a 1.5 T MR scanner. R2 and R2* transverse relaxation rate maps were generated for both slices using RF pulse recalled spin echo and gradient echo acquisition sequences. The tissue samples were then imaged at the Australian Synchrotron on the X-ray Fluorescence Microscopy beamline using a focussed incident X-ray beam of 18.74 keV and the Maia 384 detector. The event data were analyzed to produce elemental iron maps (uncalibrated) at 25 to 60 microns image resolution. RESULTS: The R2 and R2* maps and profiles for both samples showed very similar macro-scale spatial patterns compared to the XFM iron distribution. Iron appeared to preferentially load into the lateral epicardium wall and there was a strong gradient of decreasing iron, R2 and R2* from the epicardium to the endocardium in the lateral wall of the left ventricle and to a lesser extent in the septum. On co-registered images XFM iron was more strongly correlated to R2* (r = 0.86) than R2 (r = 0.79). There was a strong linear relationship between R2* and R2 (r = 0.87). CONCLUSIONS: The close qualitative and quantitative agreement between the synchrotron XFM iron maps and MR relaxometry maps indicates that iron is a significant determinant of R2 and R2* in these ex vivo samples. The R2 and R2* maps of human heart tissue give information on the spatial distribution of tissue iron deposits.", author = "House, Michael J and Fleming, Adam J and de Jonge, Martin D and Paterson, David and Howard, Daryl L and Carpenter, John-Paul and Pennell, Dudley J and {St Pierre}, Tim G", doi = "10.1186/s12968-014-0080-2", file = ":C$\backslash$:/Users/yk822/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/House et al. - 2014 - Mapping iron in human heart tissue with synchrotron x-ray fluorescence microscopy and cardiovascular magnetic reso.pdf:pdf", issn = "1532-429X", journal = "Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance", month = "jan", number = 1, pages = 80, pmid = 25270330, title = "{Mapping iron in human heart tissue with synchrotron x-ray fluorescence microscopy and cardiovascular magnetic resonance.}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25270330 http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=PMC4177424 http://jcmr-online.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12968-014-0080-2 http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=4177424{\&}tool=pmcentrez{\&}rendertype=abstract", volume = 16, year = 2014 }

The aim of this study was to validate a stimulated-echo diffusion sequence using phantoms, and to assess the intercentre reproducibility of in-vivo diffusion measures using the sequence. METHODS AND RESULTS: A stimulated-echo, cardiac-gated DT-CMR sequence with a reduced-field-of-view, single-shot EPI readout was used at two centres with 3 T MRI scanners. Four alkane phantoms with known diffusivities were scanned at a single centre using a stimulated echo sequence and a spin-echo Stejskal-Tanner diffusion sequence. The median (maximum, minimum) difference between the DT-CMR sequence and Stejskal-Tanner sequence was 0.01 (0.04, 0.0006) × 10(-3) mm2/s (2{\%}), and between the DT-CMR sequence and literature diffusivities was 0.02 (0.05, 0.006) × 10(-3) mm2/s (4{\%}).The same ten healthy volunteers were scanned using the DT-CMR sequence at the two centres less than seven days apart. Average ADC and FA were calculated in a single mid-ventricular, short axis slice. Intercentre differences were tested for statistical significance at the p {\textless} 0.05 level using paired t-tests. The mean ADC ± standard deviation for all subjects averaged over both centres was 1.10 ± 0.06 × 10(-3) mm2/s in systole and 1.20 ± 0.09 × 10-3 mm2/s in diastole; FA was 0.41 ± 0.04 in systole and 0.54 ± 0.03 in diastole.

@article{Ismail2014, abstract = "{BACKGROUND: Microvascular dysfunction in HCM has been associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Advances in quantitative cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) perfusion imaging now allow myocardial blood flow to be quantified at the pixel level. We applied these techniques to investigate the spectrum of microvascular dysfunction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and to explore its relationship with fibrosis and wall thickness. METHODS: CMR perfusion imaging was undertaken during adenosine-induced hyperemia and again at rest in 35 patients together with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. Myocardial blood flow (MBF) was quantified on a pixel-by-pixel basis from CMR perfusion images using a Fermi-constrained deconvolution algorithm.

@article{Babu-Narayan2014, abstract = "BACKGROUND: Indications for surgical pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) after repair of tetralogy of Fallot have recently been broadened to include asymptomatic patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: The outcomes of PVR in adults after repair of tetralogy of Fallot at a single tertiary center were retrospectively studied. Preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise testing was included. Mortality was the primary outcome measure. In total, 221 PVRs were performed in 220 patients (130 male patients; median age, 32 years; range, 16-64 years). Homografts were used in 117 patients, xenografts in 103 patients, and a mechanical valve in 1 patient. Early (30-day) mortality was 2{\%}. Overall survival was 97{\%} at 1 year, 96{\%} at 3 years, and 92{\%} at 10 years. Survival after PVR in the later era (2005-2010; n=156) was significantly better compared with survival in the earlier era (1993-2004; n=65; 99{\%} versus 94{\%} at 1 year and 98{\%} versus 92{\%} at 3 years, respectively; P=0.019). Earlier era patients were more symptomatic preoperatively (P=0.036) with a lower preoperative peak oxygen consumption (peak Vo₂; P{\textless}0.001). Freedom from redo surgical or transcatheter PVR was 98{\%} at 5 years and 96{\%} at 10 years for the whole cohort. Peak Vo₂, E/CO2 slope (ratio of minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production), and heart rate reserve during cardiopulmonary exercise testing predicted risk of early mortality when analyzed with logistic regression analysis; peak Vo₂ emerged as the strongest predictor on multivariable analysis (odds ratio, 0.65 per 1 mL{\textperiodcentered}kg⁻¹{\textperiodcentered}min⁻¹; P=0.041).

@article{Carpenter2014, abstract = "BACKGROUND: The assessment of myocardial iron using T2* cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has been validated and calibrated, and is in clinical use. However, there is very limited data assessing the relaxation parameters T1 and T2 for measurement of human myocardial iron. METHODS: Twelve hearts were examined from transfusion-dependent patients: 11 with end-stage heart failure, either following death (n=7) or cardiac transplantation (n=4), and 1 heart from a patient who died from a stroke with no cardiac iron loading. Ex-vivo R1 and R2 measurements (R1=1/T1 and R2=1/T2) at 1.5 Tesla were compared with myocardial iron concentration measured using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. RESULTS: From a single myocardial slice in formalin which was repeatedly examined, a modest decrease in T2 was observed with time, from mean (± SD) 23.7 ± 0.93 ms at baseline (13 days after death and formalin fixation) to 18.5 ± 1.41 ms at day 566 (p{\textless}0.001). Raw T2 values were therefore adjusted to correct for this fall over time. Myocardial R2 was correlated with iron concentration [Fe] (R2 0.566, p{\textless}0.001), but the correlation was stronger between LnR2 and Ln[Fe] (R2 0.790, p{\textless}0.001). The relation was [Fe] = 5081•(T2)-2.22 between T2 (ms) and myocardial iron (mg/g dry weight). Analysis of T1 proved challenging with a dichotomous distribution of T1, with very short T1 (mean 72.3 ± 25.8 ms) that was independent of iron concentration in all hearts stored in formalin for greater than 12 months. In the remaining hearts stored for {\textless}10 weeks prior to scanning, LnR1 and iron concentration were correlated but with marked scatter (R2 0.517, p{\textless}0.001). A linear relationship was present between T1 and T2 in the hearts stored for a short period (R2 0.657, p{\textless}0.001). CONCLUSION: Myocardial T2 correlates well with myocardial iron concentration, which raises the possibility that T2 may provide additive information to T2* for patients with myocardial siderosis. However, ex-vivo T1 measurements are less reliable due to the severe chemical effects of formalin on T1 shortening, and therefore T1 calibration may only be practical from in-vivo human studies.", author = "Carpenter, John-Paul and He, Taigang and Kirk, Paul and Roughton, Michael and Anderson, Lisa J and de Noronha, Sofia V and Baksi, A John and Sheppard, Mary N and Porter, John B and Walker, J Malcolm and Wood, John C and Forni, Gianluca and Catani, Gualtiero and Matta, Gildo and Fucharoen, Suthat and Fleming, Adam and House, Mike and Black, Greg and Firmin, David N and {St. Pierre}, Timothy G and Pennell, Dudley J and {St Pierre}, Timothy G and Pennell, Dudley J", doi = "10.1186/s12968-014-0062-4", file = ":C$\backslash$:/Users/yk822/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Carpenter et al. - 2014 - Calibration of myocardial T2 and T1 against iron concentration.pdf:pdf", issn = "1532-429X", journal = "Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance", keywords = ",Adolescent,Adult,Atomic,Biological Markers,Biological Markers: metabolism,Calibration,Child,Europe,Female,Fixatives,Formaldehyde,Heart Failure,Heart Failure: diagnosis,Heart Failure: metabolism,Heart Failure: mortality,Heart Failure: pathology,Heart Failure: physiopathology,Heart Failure: surgery,Heart Transplantation,Hemosiderosis,Hemosiderosis: diagnosis,Hemosiderosis: metabolism,Hemosiderosis: mortality,Hemosiderosis: pathology,Hemosiderosis: physiopathology,Hemosiderosis: surgery,Humans,Iron,Iron: metabolism,Left,Linear Models,Magnetic Resonance Imaging,Magnetic Resonance Imaging: standards,Male,Middle Aged,Myocardial Contraction,Myocardium,Myocardium: metabolism,Myocardium: pathology,Predictive Value of Tests,Prognosis,Spectrophotometry,Thailand,Time Factors,Tissue Fixation,Tissue Fixation: methods,Ventricular Function,Young Adult", month = "jan", number = 1, pages = 62, pmid = 25158620, title = "{Calibration of myocardial T2 and T1 against iron concentration.}", url = "http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=4145261{\&}tool=pmcentrez{\&}rendertype=abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25158620 http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=PMC4145261 http://jcmr-online.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12968-014-0062-4", volume = 16, year = 2014 }

Biopsy-based calibration of T2* magnetic resonance for estimation of liver iron concentration and comparison with R2 Ferriscan..
Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 16(1):40, January 2014.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Garbowski2014, abstract = "BACKGROUND: There is a need to standardise non-invasive measurements of liver iron concentrations (LIC) so clear inferences can be drawn about body iron levels that are associated with hepatic and extra-hepatic complications of iron overload. Since the first demonstration of an inverse relationship between biopsy LIC and liver magnetic resonance (MR) using a proof-of-concept T2* sequence, MR technology has advanced dramatically with a shorter minimum echo-time, closer inter-echo spacing and constant repetition time. These important advances allow more accurate calculation of liver T2* especially in patients with high LIC. METHODS: Here, we used an optimised liver T2* sequence calibrated against 50 liver biopsy samples on 25 patients with transfusional haemosiderosis using ordinary least squares linear regression, and assessed the method reproducibility in 96 scans over an LIC range up to 42 mg/g dry weight (dw) using Bland-Altman plots. Using mixed model linear regression we compared the new T2*-LIC with R2-LIC (Ferriscan) on 92 scans in 54 patients with transfusional haemosiderosis and examined method agreement using Bland-Altman approach. RESULTS: Strong linear correlation between ln(T2*) and ln(LIC) led to the calibration equation LIC = 31.94(T2*)-1.014. This yielded LIC values approximately 2.2 times higher than the proof-of-concept T2* method. Comparing this new T2*-LIC with the R2-LIC (Ferriscan) technique in 92 scans, we observed a close relationship between the two methods for values up to 10 mg/g dw, however the method agreement was poor. CONCLUSIONS: New calibration of T2* against liver biopsy estimates LIC in a reproducible way, correcting the proof-of-concept calibration by 2.2 times. Due to poor agreement, both methods should be used separately to diagnose or rule out liver iron overload in patients with increased ferritin.", author = "Garbowski, Maciej W and Carpenter, John-Paul and Smith, Gillian and Roughton, Michael and Alam, Mohammed H and He, Taigang and Pennell, Dudley J and Porter, John B", doi = "10.1186/1532-429X-16-40", file = ":C$\backslash$:/Users/yk822/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Garbowski et al. - 2014 - Biopsy-based calibration of T2 magnetic resonance for estimation of liver iron concentration and comparison wi.pdf:pdf", issn = "1532-429X", journal = "Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance", keywords = ",Algorithms,Benzoates,Benzoates: therapeutic use,Biological Markers,Biological Markers: analysis,Biopsy,Blood Transfusion,Blood Transfusion: adverse effects,Calibration,Computer-Assisted,Hemosiderosis,Hemosiderosis: diagnosis,Hemosiderosis: drug therapy,Hemosiderosis: etiology,Hemosiderosis: metabolism,Hemosiderosis: pathology,Humans,Image Interpretation,Iron,Iron Chelating Agents,Iron Chelating Agents: therapeutic use,Iron: analysis,Least-Squares Analysis,Linear Models,Liver,Liver: chemistry,Liver: drug effects,Liver: pathology,Magnetic Resonance Imaging,Magnetic Resonance Imaging: standards,Observer Variation,Predictive Value of Tests,Reproducibility of Results,Retrospective Studies,Triazoles,Triazoles: therapeutic use", month = "jan", number = 1, pages = 40, pmid = 24915987, title = "{Biopsy-based calibration of T2* magnetic resonance for estimation of liver iron concentration and comparison with R2 Ferriscan.}", url = "http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=4064805{\&}tool=pmcentrez{\&}rendertype=abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24915987 http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=PMC4064805 http://jcmr-online.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1532-429X-16-40", volume = 16, year = 2014 }

Improved MRI R2 * relaxometry of iron-loaded liver with noise correction..

URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Feng2013, abstract = {Accurate and reproducible MRI R2 * relaxometry for tissue iron quantification is important in managing transfusion-dependent patients. MRI data are often acquired using array coils and reconstructed by the root-sum-square algorithm, and as such, measured signals follow the noncentral chi distribution. In this study, two noise-corrected models were proposed for the liver R2 * quantification: fitting the signal to the first moment and fitting the squared signal to the second moment in the presence of the noncentral chi noise. These two models were compared with the widely implemented offset and truncation models on both simulation and in vivo data. The results demonstrated that the "slow decay component" of the liver R2 * was mainly caused by the noise. The offset model considerably overestimated R2 * values by incorrectly adding a constant to account for the slow decay component. The truncation model generally produced accurate R2 * measurements by only fitting the initial data well above the noise level to remove the major source of errors, but underestimated very high R2 * values due to the sequence limit of obtaining very short echo time images. Both the first and second-moment noise-corrected models constantly produced accurate and precise R2 * measurements by correctly addressing the noise problem.}, author = "Feng, Yanqiu and He, Taigang and Gatehouse, Peter D and Li, Xinzhong and {Harith Alam}, Mohammed and Pennell, Dudley J and Chen, Wufan and Firmin, David N", doi = "10.1002/mrm.24607", issn = "1522-2594", journal = "Magnetic resonance in medicine : official journal of the Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine / Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine", keywords = "Adult,Algorithms,Artifacts,Female,Humans,Image Enhancement,Image Enhancement: methods,Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted,Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted: methods,Iron Overload,Iron Overload: complications,Iron Overload: pathology,Liver,Liver: pathology,Magnetic Resonance Imaging,Magnetic Resonance Imaging: methods,Male,Reproducibility of Results,Sensitivity and Specificity,Signal-To-Noise Ratio,beta-Thalassemia,beta-Thalassemia: complications,beta-Thalassemia: pathology", month = "dec", number = 6, pages = "1765--74", pmid = 23359410, title = "{Improved MRI R2 * relaxometry of iron-loaded liver with noise correction.}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23359410", volume = 70, year = 2013 }

@article{Gulati2013b, abstract = "BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is the gold-standard technique for the assessment of ventricular function. Although left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction are strong predictors of outcome in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), there are limited data regarding the prognostic significance of right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction (RVSD). We investigated whether cardiovascular magnetic resonance assessment of RV function has prognostic value in DCM. METHODS AND RESULTS: We prospectively studied 250 consecutive DCM patients with the use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance. RVSD, defined by RV ejection fraction≤45{\%}, was present in 86 (34{\%}) patients. During a median follow-up period of 6.8 years, there were 52 deaths, and 7 patients underwent cardiac transplantation. The primary end point of all-cause mortality or cardiac transplantation was reached by 42 of 86 patients with RVSD and 17 of 164 patients without RVSD (49{\%} versus 10{\%}; hazard ratio, 5.90; 95{\%} confidence interval [CI], 3.35-10.37; P{\textless}0.001). On multivariable analysis, RVSD remained a significant independent predictor of the primary end point (hazard ratio, 3.90; 95{\%} CI, 2.16-7.04; P{\textless}0.001), as well as secondary outcomes of cardiovascular mortality or cardiac transplantation (hazard ratio, 3.35; 95{\%} CI, 1.76-6.39; P{\textless}0.001), and heart failure death, heart failure hospitalization, or cardiac transplantation (hazard ratio, 2.70; 95{\%} CI, 1.32-5.51; P=0.006). Assessment of RVSD improved risk stratification for all-cause mortality or cardiac transplantation (net reclassification improvement, 0.31; 95{\%} CI 0.10-0.53; P=0.001).

Atrial arrhythmia-free survival was reduced in patients with RAAi ≥16 cm(2)/m(2) (logrank p=0.0001). Right ventricular (RV) restrictive physiology on echocardiography (n=38) related to higher RAAi (p=0.02) and had similar RV dilatation compared with remaining patients. Ventricular arrhythmia (n=9) was predicted by CMR RV outflow tract (RVOT) akinetic area length (Hazard ratio 1.05, 95{\%} Confidence Interval 1.01-1.09 per mm; p=0.003, survival ROC analysis, AUC 0.77 [0.83-0.61]; cut-off value 30 mm) and decreased RV ejection fraction (Hazard ratio 0.93, 95{\%} Confidence Interval 0.87-0.99 per {\%}; p=0.03). Ventricular arrhythmia-free survival was reduced in patients with RVOT akinetic region length {\textgreater}30 mm (logrank p=0.02). CONCLUSION: RAAi predicts atrial arrhythmia and RVOT akinetic region length predicts ventricular arrhythmia in late follow-up of rtoF.

@article{Deac2013, abstract = "BACKGROUND: Early recognition and accurate risk stratification are important in the management of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Identification of predictors of outcome by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients undergoing evaluation for ARVC is limited. We investigated the predictive value of morphological abnormalities detected by CMR for major clinical events in patients with suspected ARVC. METHODS: We performed a longitudinal study on 369 consecutive patients with at least one criterion for ARVC. Abnormal CMR was defined by the presence of one of the following: increased right ventricular (RV) volumes, reduced RV ejection fraction, RV regional wall motion abnormalities, myocardial fatty infiltration, and myocardial fibrosis. The end-point was a composite of cardiac death, sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and appropriate ICD discharge. RESULTS: Twenty patients met the composite end-point over a mean follow-up of 4.3±1.5 years. An abnormal CMR was an independent predictor of outcomes (p{\textless}0.001). The presence of multiple abnormalities heralded a particular high risk of events (HR 23.0, 95{\%} CI 5.7-93.2, p{\textless}0.001 for 2 abnormalities; HR 35.8, 95{\%} CI 9.7-132.6, p{\textless}0.001 for 3 or more abnormalities). The positive predictive value of an abnormal CMR study was 21.0{\%} for an adverse event, whilst the negative predictive value of a normal CMR study was 98.8{\%} over the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS: CMR provides important prognostic information in patients under evaluation for ARVC. A normal study portends a good prognosis.

@article{Feng2013a, abstract = "PURPOSE: To compare myocardial T1 against T2 and T2* in patients with thalassemia major (TM) for myocardial iron characterization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 106 TM patients (29 ± 10 years; 58 males) were studied on a 1.5 Tesla scanner using dedicated T1, T2*, and T2 relaxometry sequences. A single mid-ventricular short axis slice was acquired within a breath-hold. RESULTS: In patients with myocardial iron overload (T2* {\textless} 20 ms; n = 52), there were linear correlations between T2 and T2* (r = 0.82; P = 0.0), and between T1 and T2* (r = 0.83; P = 0.0). In patients with no myocardial iron (n = 54), T2* values were scattered with no significant correlation against T2 or T1. For all patients (n = 106) there was a strong linear correlation (r = 0.93; P = 0.0) between myocardial T1 and T2. CONCLUSION: In patients with iron overload, myocardial T2 and T1 are correlated with T2*. In patients with low or normal myocardial iron concentration, other factors become dominant in affecting T2* values as shown by scattered T2* data.

Cardiovascular function and treatment in $\beta$-thalassemia major: a consensus statement from the American Heart Association..
Circulation 128(3):281–308, July 2013.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Pennell2013, abstract = "This aim of this statement is to report an expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac dysfunction in $\beta$-thalassemia major (TM). This consensus statement does not cover other hemoglobinopathies, including thalassemia intermedia and sickle cell anemia, in which a different spectrum of cardiovascular complications is typical. There are considerable uncertainties in this field, with a few randomized controlled trials relating to treatment of chronic myocardial siderosis but none relating to treatment of acute heart failure. The principles of diagnosis and treatment of cardiac iron loading in TM are directly relevant to other iron-overload conditions, including in particular Diamond-Blackfan anemia, sideroblastic anemia, and hereditary hemochromatosis. Heart failure is the most common cause of death in TM and primarily results from cardiac iron accumulation. The diagnosis of ventricular dysfunction in TM patients differs from that in nonanemic patients because of the cardiovascular adaptation to chronic anemia in non-cardiac-loaded TM patients, which includes resting tachycardia, low blood pressure, enlarged end-diastolic volume, high ejection fraction, and high cardiac output. Chronic anemia also leads to background symptomatology such as dyspnea, which can mask the clinical diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction. Central to early identification of cardiac iron overload in TM is the estimation of cardiac iron by cardiac T2* magnetic resonance. Cardiac T2* {\textless}10 ms is the most important predictor of development of heart failure. Serum ferritin and liver iron concentration are not adequate surrogates for cardiac iron measurement. Assessment of cardiac function by noninvasive techniques can also be valuable clinically, but serial measurements to establish trends are usually required because interpretation of single absolute values is complicated by the abnormal cardiovascular hemodynamics in TM and measurement imprecision. Acute decompensated heart failure is a medical emergency and requires urgent consultation with a center with expertise in its management. The first principle of management of acute heart failure is control of cardiac toxicity related to free iron by urgent commencement of a continuous, uninterrupted infusion of high-dose intravenous deferoxamine, augmented by oral deferiprone. Considerable care is required to not exacerbate cardiovascular problems from overuse of diuretics or inotropes because of the unusual loading conditions in TM. The current knowledge on the efficacy of removal of cardiac iron by the 3 commercially available iron chelators is summarized for cardiac iron overload without overt cardiac dysfunction. Evidence from well-conducted randomized controlled trials shows superior efficacy of deferiprone versus deferoxamine, the superiority of combined deferiprone with deferoxamine versus deferoxamine alone, and the equivalence of deferasirox versus deferoxamine.", author = "Pennell, Dudley J and Udelson, James E and Arai, Andrew E and Bozkurt, Biykem and Cohen, Alan R and Galanello, Renzo and Hoffman, Timothy M and Kiernan, Michael S and Lerakis, Stamatios and Piga, Antonio and Porter, John B and Walker, John Malcolm and Wood, John", doi = "10.1161/CIR.0b013e31829b2be6", issn = "1524-4539", journal = "Circulation", keywords = "American Heart Association,Consensus,Heart Failure,Heart Failure: etiology,Heart Failure: physiopathology,Heart Failure: therapy,Humans,Iron Chelating Agents,Iron Chelating Agents: therapeutic use,Iron Overload,Iron Overload: complications,Iron Overload: drug therapy,United States,beta-Thalassemia,beta-Thalassemia: complications,beta-Thalassemia: drug therapy", month = "jul", number = 3, pages = "281--308", pmid = 23775258, title = "{Cardiovascular function and treatment in $\beta$-thalassemia major: a consensus statement from the American Heart Association.}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23775258", volume = 128, year = 2013 }

METHODS AND RESULTS: The study population included consecutive adults with atrial isomerism who had previously undergone surgical repair or palliation of the associated anomalies. Patients underwent electrophysiological study for symptomatic arrhythmia in our institution between 2010 and 2012 using magnetic navigation in conjunction with CARTO RMT and three-dimensional (3D) image integration. Eight patients (five females) with a median age of 33 years [interquartile range (IQR) 24-39] were studied. Access to the cardiac chambers of interest was obtained retrogradely via the aorta using remotely navigated magnetic catheters in six patients. Radiofrequency ablation successfully targeted twin atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia in two patients, atrial fibrillation (AF) in three, focal atrial tachycardia (AT) mainly originating in the left-sided atrium in four patients, and macro-reentrant AT dependent on a right-sided inferior isthmus in three patients. The median fluoroscopy time was 3.0 min (IQR 2-11). After a median follow-up of 10 months (IQR 6-21), five of the ablated patients are free from arrhythmia; two patients experienced episodes of self-terminated AF and AT, respectively, within one month post-ablation; the remaining patient had only non-sustained AT during the electrophysiological study and was managed medically.

We reviewed supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) ablation in adult patients with congenital heart disease to assess the contribution of these technologies. METHODS AND RESULTS: One hundred fifty-four SVT ablation procedures (228 SVTs) using a 3D-electroanatomic mapping system in 116 adult patients with congenital heart disease (mean age, 41; 76 male) were classified into 3 groups: Group A, manual mapping/ablation (n=60 procedures); Group B, remote magnetic navigation-guided mapping/ablation with normal femoral vein access (49); and Group C, remote magnetic navigation-guided mapping/ablation with difficult access (45). Group A included simple anomalies with less SVTs. Group B comprised predominantly Fontan patients with more SVTs. Group C included more complex defects, such as intra-atrial baffle or interrupted inferior venous access, in which retrograde aortic and superior venous accesses were used exclusively with more frequent use of image integration (97.8{\%}; P{\textless}0.001). Acute success was 91.5{\%}, 83.7{\%}, and 82.2{\%}, respectively (P=0.370). In group C, fluoroscopy time was the shortest (median, 4.2 min; P{\textless}0.001) despite the longer procedure duration (median, 253 min; P{\textless}0.001). SVTs free rates were 80.4{\%}, 82.4{\%}, and 75.8{\%}, respectively (P=0.787) during a mean 20-months follow-up period.

Clinical utility and prognostic value of left atrial volume assessment by cardiovascular magnetic resonance in non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy..
European journal of heart failure 15(6):660–70, June 2013.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Gulati2013a, abstract = "AIMS: Echocardiographic studies have shown that left atrial volume (LAV) predicts adverse outcome in small heart failure (HF) cohorts of mixed aetiology. However, the prognostic value of LAV in non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is unknown. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) allows accurate and reproducible measurement of LAV. We sought to determine the long-term prognostic significance of LAV assessed by CMR in DCM. METHODS AND RESULTS: We measured LAV indexed to body surface area (LAVi) in 483 consecutive DCM patients referred for CMR. Patients were prospectively followed up for a primary endpoint of all-cause mortality or cardiac transplantation. During a median follow-up of 5.3 years, 75 patients died and 9 underwent cardiac transplantation. After adjustment for established risk factors, LAVi was an independent predictor of the primary endpoint [hazard ratio (HR) per 10 mL/m(2) 1.08; 95{\%} confidence interval (CI) 1.01-1.15; P = 0.022]. LAVi was also independently associated with the secondary composite endpoints of cardiovascular mortality or cardiac transplantation (HR per 10 mL/m(2) 1.11; 95{\%} CI 1.04-1.19; P = 0.003), and HF death, HF hospitalization, or cardiac transplantation (HR per 10 mL/m(2) 1.11; 95{\%} CI 1.04-1.18; P = 0.001). The optimal LAVi cut-off value for predicting the primary endpoint was 72 mL/m(2). Patients with LAVi {\textgreater}72 mL/m(2) had a three-fold elevated risk of death or transplantation (HR 3.00; 95{\%} CI 1.92-4.70; P {\textless} 0.001). LAVi provided incremental prognostic value for the prediction of transplant-free survival (net reclassification improvement 0.17; 95{\%} CI 0.05-0.29; P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: LAVi is a powerful independent predictor of transplant-free survival and HF outcomes in DCM.

In this study, a two-dimensional finite element model using displacement boundary conditions was employed to simulate the deformations of deep veins in the calf under external compression. Magnetic resonance (MR) scans were performed on four healthy volunteers with and without compression stockings. The displacement boundary condition was extracted from the corresponding deformed (with stocking) and undeformed (without stocking) MR images by using a non-rigid image registration procedure. In the finite element model, soft tissues of the calf were simplified as a homogenous material with hyperelastic properties. The effective bulk modulus of the material was evaluated at a chosen transverse section for each subject, which was also applied to three other locations at 2mm, 6mm and 10mm below the original section. Comparison between the simulation and measurement showed good agreement in area reduction of deep veins (discrepancy=8.7±6.4{\%}), especially for sections close to the chosen location where the effective bulk modulus was evaluated. Beyond a certain distance, the discrepancies increased and became quite variable. The reason for this is that the architecture and stiffness of the calf tissues vary along the leg. The results also showed considerable variation in effective bulk modulus among the four subjects examined.", author = "Wang, Ying and Downie, Steve and Wood, Nigel and Firmin, David and Xu, Xiao Yun", doi = "10.1016/j.medengphy.2012.06.019", issn = "1873-4030", journal = "Medical engineering {\&} physics", keywords = "Adult,Biomechanical Phenomena,Finite Element Analysis,Humans,Lower Extremity,Lower Extremity: blood supply,Magnetic Resonance Imaging,Male,Mechanical Processes,Veins,Veins: physiology,Young Adult", month = "apr", number = 4, pages = "515--23", pmid = 22819344, title = "{Finite element analysis of the deformation of deep veins in the lower limb under external compression.}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22819344", volume = 35, year = 2013 }

Left ventricular wall thickness and the presence of asymmetric hypertrophy in healthy young army recruits: data from the LARGE heart study..
Circulation. Cardiovascular imaging 6(2):262–7, March 2013.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Lee2013, abstract = "BACKGROUND: To use cardiovascular magnetic resonance to investigate left ventricular wall thickness and the presence of asymmetrical hypertrophy in young army recruits before and after a period of intense exercise training. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using cardiovascular magnetic resonance, the left ventricular wall thickness was measured in all 17 segments and a normal range was calculated for each. The prevalence of asymmetrical wall thickening was assessed before and after training and defined by a ventricular wall thickness ≥13.0 mm that was {\textgreater}1.5× the thickness of the opposing myocardial segment. Five hundred forty-one men (mean age, 20±2 years) were recruited, 309 underwent repeat scanning. Considerable variation in wall thickness was observed across the ventricle with progressive thickening on moving from the apex to base (P{\textless}0.001) and in the basal and midcavity septum compared with the lateral wall (11.0±1.4 versus 10.1±1.3 mm; P{\textless}0.001). Twenty-three percent had a maximal wall thickness ≥13.0 mm, whereas the prevalence of asymmetrical wall thickening increased from 2.2{\%} to 10{\%} after the exercise-training program. In those who developed asymmetry, the wall thickness/diastolic volume ration remained normal (0.09±0.02 mm⋅m(2)⋅mL(-1)), indicative of a remodeling response to exercise. CONCLUSIONS: In a cohort of healthy young white men, we have demonstrated that wall thickness frequently measures ≥13.0 mm and that asymmetrical wall thickening is common and can develop as part of the physiological response to exercise.

@article{Gulati2013, abstract = "{IMPORTANCE: Risk stratification of patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy is primarily based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Superior prognostic factors may improve patient selection for implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and other management decisions. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether myocardial fibrosis (detected by late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance [LGE-CMR] imaging) is an independent and incremental predictor of mortality and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in dilated cardiomyopathy. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS: Prospective, longitudinal study of 472 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy referred to a UK center for CMR imaging between November 2000 and December 2008 after presence and extent of midwall replacement fibrosis were determined. Patients were followed up through December 2011. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Primary end point was all-cause mortality. Secondary end points included cardiovascular mortality or cardiac transplantation; an arrhythmic composite of SCD or aborted SCD (appropriate ICD shock, nonfatal ventricular fibrillation, or sustained ventricular tachycardia); and a composite of HF death, HF hospitalization, or cardiac transplantation. RESULTS: Among the 142 patients with midwall fibrosis, there were 38 deaths (26.8{\%}) vs 35 deaths (10.6{\%}) among the 330 patients without fibrosis (hazard ratio [HR], 2.96 [95{\%} CI, 1.87-4.69]; absolute risk difference, 16.2{\%} [95{\%} CI, 8.2{\%}-24.2{\%}]; P {\textless} .001) during a median follow-up of 5.3 years (2557 patient-years of follow-up).

@article{Pennell2013a, abstract = "There were 90 articles published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (JCMR) in 2012, which is an 8{\%} increase in the number of articles since 2011. The quality of the submissions continues to increase. The editors are delighted to report that the 2011 JCMR Impact Factor (which is published in June 2012) has risen to 4.44, up from 3.72 for 2010 (as published in June 2011), a 20{\%} increase. The 2011 impact factor means that the JCMR papers that were published in 2009 and 2010 were cited on average 4.44 times in 2011. The impact factor undergoes natural variation according to citation rates of papers in the 2 years following publication, and is significantly influenced by highly cited papers such as official reports. However, the progress of the journal's impact over the last 5 years has been impressive. Our acceptance rate is approximately 25{\%}, and has been falling as the number of articles being submitted has been increasing. In accordance with Open-Access publishing, the JCMR articles go on-line as they are accepted with no collating of the articles into sections or special thematic issues. For this reason, the Editors have felt that it is useful once per calendar year to summarize the papers for the readership into broad areas of interest or theme, so that areas of interest can be reviewed in a single article in relation to each other and other recent JCMR articles. The papers are presented in broad themes and set in context with related literature and previously published JCMR papers to guide continuity of thought in the journal.

@article{Maceira2013, abstract = "BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) steady state free precession (SSFP) cine sequences with high temporal resolution and improved post-processing can accurately measure RA dimensions. We used this technique to define ranges for normal RA volumes and dimensions normalized, when necessary, to the influence of gender, body surface area (BSA) and age, and also to define the best 2D images-derived predictors of RA enlargement. METHODS: For definition of normal ranges of RA volume we studied 120 healthy subjects (60 men, 60 women; 20 subjects per age decile from 20 to 80 years), after careful exclusion of cardiovascular abnormality. We also studied 120 patients (60 men, 60 women; age range 20 to 80 years) with a clinical indication for CMR in order to define the best 1D and 2D predictors of RA enlargement. Data were generated from SSFP cine CMR, with 3-dimensional modeling, including tracking of the atrioventricular ring motion and time-volume curves analysis. RESULTS: In the group of healthy individuals, age influenced RA 2-chamber area and transverse diameter. Gender influenced most absolute RA dimensions and volume. Interestingly, right atrial volumes did not change with age and gender when indexed to body surface area. New CMR normal ranges for RA dimensions were modeled and displayed for clinical use with normalization for BSA and gender and display of parameter variation with age. Finally, the best 2D images-derived independent predictors of RA enlargement were indexed area and indexed longitudinal diameter in the 2-chamber view.

@article{Valente2013, abstract = "Although early survival after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair in the modern era is excellent, studies on late outcomes have shown increasing rates of mortality and morbidity. Despite multiple publications on factors associated with late complications, risk factors for major outcomes (death and sustained ventricular tachycardia [VT]) remain poorly defined. Consequently, the International Multicenter TOF Registry (INDICATOR) was established. This article describes the development, structure, and goals of this registry and characterizes the initial cohort derived from four large congenital heart centers in the United States, Canada, and Europe. A data coordinating center with a core cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) laboratory and statistical core was established. Subjects with repaired TOF who had CMR imaging performed between 1997 and 2010 and ≥ 1 year follow-up were included. Clinical end points were death and sustained VT. Demographic, electrophysiologic, exercise, and outcome data were collected. A total of 873 subjects fulfilled inclusion criteria (median age at repair 2.9 years and at CMR imaging 22.8 years). Of these, 9 {\%} had QRS duration {\textgreater}180 ms on electrocardiogram (ECG). On CMR imaging, 38 {\%} had severe right-ventricular (RV) dilatation (≥ 160 mL/m(2)), and 6 {\%} had severe RV dysfunction (ejection fraction {\textless} 35 {\%}). Of the 551 subjects with exercise testing available, 28 {\%} had severely decreased exercise capacity with {\textless}50 {\%} predicted peak oxygen consumption.

@article{Carpenter2013a, abstract = "{BACKGROUND: Chronically increased intestinal iron uptake in genetic hemochromatosis (HC) may cause organ failure. Whilst iron loading from blood transfusions may cause dilated cardiomyopathy in conditions such as thalassemia, the in-vivo prevalence of myocardial siderosis in HC is unclear, and its relation to left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is controversial. Most previous data on myocardial siderosis in HC has come from post-mortem studies. METHODS: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) was performed at first presentation of 41 HC patients (58.9 ± 14.1 years) to measure myocardial iron and left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF). RESULTS: In 31 patients (genetically confirmed HFE-HC), the HFE genotype was C282Y/C282Y (n = 30) and C282Y/H63D (n = 1). Patients with other genotypes (n = 10) were labeled genetically unconfirmed HC. Of the genetically confirmed HFE-HC patients, 6 (19{\%}) had myocardial siderosis (T2* {\textless}20 ms).

URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Simpson2013, abstract = "BACKGROUND: Three-directional phase velocity mapping (PVM) is capable of measuring longitudinal, radial and circumferential regional myocardial velocities. Current techniques use Cartesian k-space coverage and navigator-gated high spatial and high temporal resolution acquisitions are long. In addition, prospective ECG-gating means that analysis of the full cardiac cycle is not possible. The aim of this study is to develop a high temporal and high spatial resolution PVM technique using efficient spiral k-space coverage and retrospective ECG-gating. Detailed analysis of regional motion over the entire cardiac cycle, including atrial systole for the first time using MR, is presented in 10 healthy volunteers together with a comprehensive assessment of reproducibility. METHODS: A navigator-gated high temporal (21 ms) and spatial (1.4 × 1.4 mm) resolution spiral PVM sequence was developed, acquiring three-directional velocities in 53 heartbeats (100{\%} respiratory-gating efficiency). Basal, mid and apical short-axis slices were acquired in 10 healthy volunteers on two occasions. Regional and transmural early systolic, early diastolic and atrial systolic peak longitudinal, radial and circumferential velocities were measured, together with the times to those peaks (TTPs). Reproducibilities were determined as mean ± SD of the signed differences between measurements made from acquisitions performed on the two days. RESULTS: All slices were acquired in all volunteers on both occasions with good image quality. The high temporal resolution allowed consistent detection of fine features of motion, while the high spatial resolution allowed the detection of statistically significant regional and transmural differences in motion. Colour plots showing the regional variations in velocity over the entire cardiac cycle enable rapid interpretation of the regional motion within any given slice. The reproducibility of peak velocities was high with the reproducibility of early systolic, early diastolic and atrial systolic peak radial velocities in the mid slice (for example) being -0.01 ± 0.36, 0.20 ± 0.56 and 0.14 ± 0.42 cm/s respectively. Reproducibility of the corresponding TTP values, when normalised to a fixed systolic and diastolic length, was also high (-13.8 ± 27.4, 1.3 ± 21.3 and 3.0 ± 10.9 ms for early systolic, early diastolic and atrial systolic respectively).

@article{Eleftheriou2013, abstract = "BACKGROUND: The development of osteoporosis is influenced by peak bone mass attained in youth - the influence of lifestyle factors upon which is poorly described, especially amongst males. We sought to address this issue in a large scale study. METHODS: Hip bone mineral density (dual X-ray absorptiometry, DXA), bone microarchitecture (calcaneal quantitative ultrasound, QUS) and femoral geometry (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI) were characterised in 723 healthy male military recruits (mean ± S.E. age 19.92 ± 0.09 years [range 16-18 years], height 177.67 ± 0.24 cm, weight 73.17 ± 0.37 kg) on entry to UK Army training. Association was sought with prior physical activity, smoking status and alcohol intake. RESULTS: DXA measures were made in 651, MRI measures in 650, and QUS measures in 572 recruits. Increasing levels of weight-bearing physical activity enhanced periostial bone apposition, increases in both total hip and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD; p ≤ 0.0001 in both cases), and cortical [p{\textless}0.0001] and periostial bone volumes [p=0.016]. Smoking habit was associated with preserved bone geometry, but worse BMD [p=0.0001] and QUS characteristics [p ≤ 0.0005]. Moderate alcohol consumption was associated with greater BMD [p ≤ 0.015]. CONCLUSIONS: Whilst exercise (and perhaps moderate alcohol intake) is beneficial to bone morphometry, smoking is detrimental to bone mineral density in young males notable for the likely short duration of smoking to influence skeletal properties.

Significance of deep T-wave inversions in asymptomatic athletes with normal cardiovascular examinations: practical solutions for managing the diagnostic conundrum..
British journal of sports medicine 46 Suppl 1:i51–8, November 2012.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Wilson2012, abstract = "Preparticipation screening programmes for underlying cardiac pathologies are now commonplace for many international sporting organisations. However, providing medical clearance for an asymptomatic athlete without a family history of sudden cardiac death (SCD) is especially challenging when the athlete demonstrates particularly abnormal repolarisation patterns, highly suggestive of an inherited cardiomyopathy or channelopathy. Deep T-wave inversions of ≥ 2 contiguous anterior or lateral leads (but not aVR, and III) are of major concern for sports cardiologists who advise referring team physicians, as these ECG alterations are a recognised manifestation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Subsequently, inverted T-waves may represent the first and only sign of an inherited heart muscle disease, in the absence of any other features and before structural changes in the heart can be detected. However, to date, there remains little evidence that deep T-wave inversions are always pathognomonic of either a cardiomyopathy or an ion channel disorder in an asymptomatic athlete following long-term follow-up. This paper aims to provide a systematic review of the prevalence of T-wave inversion in athletes and examine T-wave inversion and its relationship to structural heart disease, notably HCM and ARVC with a view to identify young athletes at risk of SCD during sport. Finally, the review proposes clinical management pathways (including genetic testing) for asymptomatic athletes demonstrating significant T-wave inversion with structurally normal hearts.", author = "Wilson, M G and Sharma, S and Carr{\'{e}}, F and Charron, P and Richard, P and O'Hanlon, R and Prasad, S K and Heidbuchel, H and Brugada, J and Salah, O and Sheppard, M and George, K P and Whyte, G and Hamilton, B and Chalabi, H", doi = "10.1136/bjsports-2011-090838", file = ":C$\backslash$:/Users/yk822/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Wilson et al. - 2012 - Significance of deep T-wave inversions in asymptomatic athletes with normal cardiovascular examinations practical.pdf:pdf", issn = "1473-0480", journal = "British journal of sports medicine", keywords = "Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia,Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia: diagno,Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia: therap,Athletes,Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic,Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic: diagnosis,Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic: therapy,Critical Pathways,Death, Sudden, Cardiac,Death, Sudden, Cardiac: prevention {\&} control,Early Diagnosis,Electrocardiography,Genetic Testing,Genetic Testing: methods,Humans,Physical Examination,Physical Examination: methods,Prognosis,Risk Assessment,Risk Assessment: methods,Sports,Sports: physiology", month = "nov", pages = "i51--8", pmid = 23097480, title = "{Significance of deep T-wave inversions in asymptomatic athletes with normal cardiovascular examinations: practical solutions for managing the diagnostic conundrum.}", url = "http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=3603779{\&}tool=pmcentrez{\&}rendertype=abstract", volume = "46 Suppl 1", year = 2012 }

@article{Krittian2012, abstract = "The evaluation of cardiovascular velocities, their changes through the cardiac cycle and the consequent pressure gradients has the capacity to improve understanding of subject-specific blood flow in relation to adjacent soft tissue movements. Magnetic resonance time-resolved 3D phase contrast velocity acquisitions (4D flow) represent an emerging technology capable of measuring the cyclic changes of large scale, multi-directional, subject-specific blood flow. A subsequent evaluation of pressure differences in enclosed vascular compartments is a further step which is currently not directly available from such data. The focus of this work is to address this deficiency through the development of a novel simulation workflow for the direct computation of relative cardiovascular pressure fields. Input information is provided by enhanced 4D flow data and derived MR domain masking. The underlying methodology shows numerical advantages in terms of robustness, global domain composition, the isolation of local fluid compartments and a treatment of boundary conditions. This approach is demonstrated across a range of validation examples which are compared with analytic solutions. Four subject-specific test cases are subsequently run, showing good agreement with previously published calculations of intra-vascular pressure differences.

Prognostic importance of late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance in cardiomyopathy..

@article{Ismail2012, abstract = "Cardiovascular magnetic resonance has revolutionised the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, particularly through the use of late gadolinium enhancement imaging which provides the unique opportunity to assess myocardial fibrosis in vivo. More recently, the prognostic capability of cardiovascular magnetic resonance to predict outcomes has been assessed. Traditional risk markers do not at present adequately predict outcomes in either dilated cardiomyopathy or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which are the two most common causes of primary heart muscle disease. Many of these existing markers reflect underlying disease severity. Given the important role fibrosis is thought to play in the pathogenesis and sequelae of these cardiomyopathies, the presence and amount of fibrosis has been proposed as a potential novel risk factor for adverse events.

@article{Sengupta2012, abstract = "Blood flow patterns are closely linked to the morphology and function of the cardiovascular system. These patterns reflect the exceptional adaptability of the cardiovascular system to maintain normal blood circulation under a wide range of workloads. Accurate retrieval and display of flow-related information remains a challenge because of the processes involved in mapping the flow velocity fields within specific chambers of the heart. We review the potentials and pitfalls of current approaches for blood flow visualization, with an emphasis on acquisition, display, and analysis of multidirectional flow. This document is divided into 3 sections. First, we provide a descriptive outline of the relevant concepts in cardiac fluid mechanics, including the emergence of rotation in flow and the variables that delineate vortical structures. Second, we elaborate on the main methods developed to image and visualize multidirectional cardiovascular flow, which are mainly based on cardiac magnetic resonance, ultrasound Doppler, and contrast particle imaging velocimetry, with recommendations for developing dedicated imaging protocols.

The impact factor undergoes natural variation according to citation rates of papers in the 2 years following publication, and is significantly influenced by highly cited papers such as official reports. However, we remain very pleased with the progress of the journal's impact over the last 5 years. Our acceptance rate is approximately 25{\%}, and has been falling as the number of articles being submitted has been increasing. In accordance with Open-Access publishing, the JCMR articles go on-line as they are accepted with no collating of the articles into sections or special thematic issues. For this reason, the Editors feel it is useful to summarize the papers for the readership into broad areas of interest or theme, which we feel would be useful, so that areas of interest from the previous year can be reviewed in a single article in relation to each other and other recent JCMR articles. The papers are presented in broad themes and set in context with related literature and previously published JCMR papers to guide continuity of thought in the journal.

Cardiac Diffusion Tensor Imaging (cDTI) provides information on mean intravoxel myocyte orientation and potentially myocardial disarray. Recent technical advances have improved in-vivo cDTI, and the aim of this study was to assess the interstudy reproducibility of quantitative in-vivo cDTI in patients with HCM. METHODS AND RESULTS: A stimulated-echo single-shot-EPI sequence with zonal excitation and parallel imaging was implemented. Ten patients with HCM were each scanned on 2 different days. For each scan 3 short axis mid-ventricular slices were acquired with cDTI at end systole. Fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), and helix angle (HA) maps were created using a cDTI post-processing platform developed in-house. The mean ± SD global FA was 0.613 ± 0.044, MD was 0.750 ± 0.154 × 10-3 mm2/s and HA was epicardium -34.3 ± 7.6°, mesocardium 3.5 ± 6.9° and endocardium 38.9 ± 8.1°.

Despite improved treatments, outcomes in many instances remain poor. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with pulmonary hypertension. This technique offers certain advantages over other imaging modalities since it is well suited to the assessment of the right ventricle and the proximal pulmonary arteries. Reflecting the relatively sparse evidence supporting its use, CMR is not routinely recommended for patients with pulmonary hypertension. However, it is particularly useful in patient with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease. Furthermore, it has proven informative in a number of ways; illustrating how right ventricular remodeling is favorably reversed by drug therapies and providing explicit confirmation of the importance of the right ventricle to clinical outcome.

Imaging congenital heart disease in adults..

@article{Kilner2011a, abstract = "Transthoracic echocardiography is the first-line modality for cardiovascular imaging in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). The windows of access that are possible with transthoracic echocardiography are, however, rarely adequate for all regions of interest. The choice of further imaging depends on the clinical questions that remain to be addressed. The strengths of MRI include comprehensive access and coverage, providing imaging of all parts of the right ventricle, the pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins and aorta. Cine images and velocity maps are acquired in specifically aligned planes, with stacks of cines or dynamic contrast angiography providing more comprehensive coverage. Tissues can be characterised if necessary, and MRI provides relatively accurate measurements of biventricular function and volume flow. These parameters are important in the assessment and follow-up of adults after repairs for tetralogy of Fallot or transposition of the great arteries and after Fontan operations. The superior spatial resolution and rapid acquisition of CT are invaluable in selected situations, including the visualisation of anomalous coronary or aortopulmonary collateral arteries, the assessment of luminal patency after stenting and imaging in patients with pacemakers. Ionising radiation is, however, a concern in younger patients who may need repeated investigation. Adults with relatively complex conditions should ideally be imaged in a specialist ACHD centre, where dedicated echocardiographic and cardiovascular MRI services are a necessary facility. General radiologists should be aware of the nature and pathophysiology of congenital heart disease, and should be alert for previously undiagnosed cases presenting in adulthood, including cases of atrial septal defect, aortic coarctation, patent ductus arteriosus, double-chambered right ventricle and congenitally corrected transposition.", author = "Kilner, P J", doi = "10.1259/bjr/74240815", file = ":C$\backslash$:/Users/yk822/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Kilner - 2011 - Imaging congenital heart disease in adults.pdf:pdf", issn = "1748-880X", journal = "The British journal of radiology", keywords = "Adult,Aortic Coarctation,Aortic Coarctation: diagnosis,Coronary Angiography,Coronary Vessels,Coronary Vessels: ultrasonography,Ebstein Anomaly,Ebstein Anomaly: diagnosis,Echocardiography,Echocardiography: methods,Heart Defects, Congenital,Heart Defects, Congenital: diagnosis,Heart Valve Diseases,Heart Valve Diseases: diagnosis,Humans,Hypertension, Pulmonary,Hypertension, Pulmonary: diagnosis,Magnetic Resonance Imaging,Magnetic Resonance Imaging: methods,Marfan Syndrome,Marfan Syndrome: diagnosis,Pulmonary Subvalvular Stenosis,Pulmonary Subvalvular Stenosis: diagnosis,Tetralogy of Fallot,Tetralogy of Fallot: radiography,Tetralogy of Fallot: surgery,Tomography, X-Ray Computed,Tomography, X-Ray Computed: methods,Transposition of Great Vessels,Transposition of Great Vessels: surgery,Tricuspid Valve Insufficiency,Tricuspid Valve Insufficiency: diagnosis", month = "dec", pages = "S258--68", pmid = 22723533, title = "{Imaging congenital heart disease in adults.}", url = "http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=3473918{\&}tool=pmcentrez{\&}rendertype=abstract", volume = "84 Spec No", year = 2011 }

@article{Broberg2011, abstract = "{In patients with cyanosis from congenital heart disease, erythropoiesis is governed by many factors that can alter the expected relation between the oxygen saturation (O(2sat)) and hemoglobin concentration. We sought to define the relation between the O(2sat) and hemoglobin in such patients and to predict an ideal hemoglobin concentration for a given O(2sat). Adults with congenital heart defects and cyanosis were studied prospectively using blood tests and exercise testing. Nonoptimal hemoglobin was defined as any evidence of inadequate erythropoiesis (i.e., iron, folate, or vitamin B(12) deficiency, increased erythropoietin, reticulocytosis, or a right-shifted oxygen-hemoglobin curve). For patients without these factors, a linear regression equation of hemoglobin versus O(2sat) was used to predict the optimal hemoglobin for all patients. Of the 65 patients studied, 21 met all the prestudy criteria for an optimal hemoglobin. For all patients, no correlation was found between O(2sat) and hemoglobin (r = -0.22). However, a strong linear correlation was found for those meeting the criteria for optimal hemoglobin (r = -0.865, p {\textless}0.001). The optimal hemoglobin regression equation was as follows: predicted hemoglobin = 57.5 - (0.444 × O(2sat)).

@article{Kilner, abstract = "The comprehensive coverage and versatility of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), providing functional as well as anatomical information, make it an important facility in a center specializing in the care of adults with congenital heart disease. Imaging specialists using CMR to investigate acquired heart disease should also be able to recognize and evaluate previously unsuspected congenital malformations. Conditions that may present or be picked up during imaging in adulthood include atrial septal defect, anomalously connected pulmonary veins, double-chambered right ventricle, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, aortic coarctation, and patent arterial duct.

Appropriate pathophysiological understanding is needed to evaluate cardiovascular function after surgery for tetralogy of Fallot, after transposition of the great arteries, and after Fontan operations.

Our acceptance rate is approximately 30{\%}, but has been falling as the number of articles being submitted has been increasing. In accordance with Open-Access publishing, the JCMR articles go on-line as they are accepted with no collating of the articles into sections or special thematic issues. Last year for the first time, the Editors summarized the papers for the readership into broad areas of interest or theme, which we felt would be useful to practitioners of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) so that you could review areas of interest from the previous year in a single article in relation to each other and other recent JCMR articles 1. This experiment proved very popular with a very high rate of downloading, and therefore we intend to continue this review annually. The papers are presented in themes and comparison is drawn with previously published JCMR papers to identify the continuity of thought and publication in the journal.

Differentiating physiological from pathological hypertrophy has important implications, since HCM is the commonest cause of exercise-related sudden cardiac death in young individuals.

The theory is that individuals with HCM are unable to augment stroke volume sufficiently to meet the demands of endurance sports and are accordingly 'selected-out' of participation in such events.

@article{Jhooti2010, abstract = "A fully automatic and highly efficient free-breathing navigator gated technique, continuously adaptive windowing strategy (CLAWS), is presented. Using a novel and dynamic acquisition strategy that ensures all potential navigator acceptance windows are possible, CLAWS acquires an image with the highest possible efficiency regardless of variations in the respiratory pattern. Unnecessary prolongation of scan durations due to respiratory drift or navigator acceptance window adjustments are avoided. As CLAWS requires no setting of the acceptance window, nor monitoring of the navigator traces during the scan, operator dependence is minimized and ease of use improved. CLAWS was compared against a standard accept/reject algorithm (ARA) and an end-expiratory following ARA (EE-ARA) in 20 healthy subjects and 10 patients (ARA only). The respiratory efficiency was compared against the retrospectively determined best possible respiratory efficiency for each acquisition. On average, the difference between CLAWS scan times and best possible scan times was 0.6{\%} (± 1.3{\%}). For the ARA and EE-ARA techniques, mean differences were 14.4{\%} (± 20.9{\%}) and 32.6 ± 10.9{\%}, respectively. Had the CLAWS algorithm been used with the ARA and EE-ARA traces, mean differences would have been 0.2{\%} (± 1.1{\%}) and 0.5{\%} (± 1.7{\%}), respectively.

MR image-based geometric and hemodynamic investigation of the right coronary artery with dynamic vessel motion..
Annals of biomedical engineering 38(8):2606–20, August 2010.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Torii2010, abstract = "The aim of this study was to develop a fully subject-specific model of the right coronary artery (RCA), including dynamic vessel motion, for computational analysis to assess the effects of cardiac-induced motion on hemodynamics and resulting wall shear stress (WSS). Vascular geometries were acquired in the right coronary artery (RCA) of a healthy volunteer using a navigator-gated interleaved spiral sequence at 14 time points during the cardiac cycle. A high temporal resolution velocity waveform was also acquired in the proximal region. Cardiac-induced dynamic vessel motion was calculated by interpolating the geometries with an active contour model and a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation with fully subject-specific information was carried out using this model. The results showed the expected variation of vessel radius and curvature throughout the cardiac cycle, and also revealed that dynamic motion of the right coronary artery consequent to cardiac motion had significant effects on instantaneous WSS and oscillatory shear index.

We compared the RV volume measured using Simpson's method to the RV volume measured using 3-dimensional reconstruction and the piecewise smooth subdivision surface (PSSS) method. We studied 6 normal subjects and 18 patients whose right ventricles carried a systemic pressure load, 1/2 with dexto-transposition of the great arteries repaired with an atrial baffle and 1/2 with levo-transposition of the great arteries. The right ventricle was reconstructed from manually traced borders from the short- and long-axis views using the PSSS method. Simpson's analysis was performed on short-axis views alone. The RV volumes were smaller when analyzed using Simpson's method than using the PSSS method. The underestimation averaged 12 +/- 19 ml (7 +/- 12{\%} of PSSS volume; p {\textless}0.001), without a significant difference between the groups. The ejection fraction was similar using both methods in patients with transposition of the great arteries and was overestimated in normal subjects. Image review revealed that the volume underestimation using Simpson's method was more frequently due to difficulty in interpreting the basal short-axis images than the apical images.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance can provide assessments of anatomical connections, biventricular function, myocardial viability, measurements of flow, angiography, and more, without ionizing radiation. It should be regarded as a necessary facility in a centre specializing in the care of adults with CHD. Also, those using CMR to investigate acquired heart disease should be able to recognize and evaluate previously unsuspected CHD such as septal defects, anomalously connected pulmonary veins, or double-chambered right ventricle. To realize its full potential and to avoid pitfalls, however, CMR of CHD requires training and experience. Appropriate pathophysiological understanding is needed to evaluate cardiovascular function after surgery for tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries, and after Fontan operations. For these and other complex CHD, CMR should be undertaken by specialists committed to long-term collaboration with the clinicians and surgeons managing the patients.

@article{Devos2010, abstract = "BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance measurements of the volumes of the right and left ventricle and of the flows in the ascending aorta and main pulmonary artery contribute to the assessment of patients with valvular regurgitation or intracardiac or extracardiac shunts. Ventricular volumes are measured by planimetry and summation of end-diastolic and end-systolic areas measured in a stack of ventricular short-axis cines. The volumes of blood flowing through planes transecting the great arteries are measured using phase contrast velocity mapping. The two approaches are essentially different and can be used either for mutual validation, or separately or in combination to quantify regurgitation and/or shunting. In the presence of shunts, the relations between the stroke volumes and arterial flows of each side of the heart vary depending on the level of shunting (for example, atrial, ventricular or ductal).

Determination of right ventricular end systole by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging: a standard method of selection..
The international journal of cardiovascular imaging 25(8):791–6, December 2009.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Edwards2009, abstract = "For reproducible measurements of right ventricular (RV) volume and function, it may be important to use a consistent method to identify end systole (ES). We determined whether a significant difference exists between RV volumes measured using varying criteria from previous studies to define the timing of ES. In three normal subjects and nine patients with congenital heart disease, we measured RV volume from 3D reconstructions generated from 12 short and long axis magnetic resonance images (MRI). Cine frames analyzed included two frames before and three frames following ES, which we determined as the frame in which chamber area was most frequently minimum. ES coincided with onset of aortic valve closure in ten of 12 subjects; complete closure occurred 1 frame later. The tricuspid valve began to open 1-2 frames after ES, and completely opened 2-4 frames after ES. RV volume was unchanged between ES and the frame following. However, ES volume differed significantly from volume measured 1 or 2 frames before ES and from volume measured 2 or 3 frames following ES, although these volume differences lay within the range of observer variability. The time of minimum RV area in the 4-chamber view agreed closely with that of ES (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.962). We conclude that minimum RV area in the 4-chamber view is a convenient marker of use for ES, and that aortic valve closure or onset of tricuspid valve opening could also be used, being unlikely to result in clinically significant errors.", author = "Edwards, Rachael and Shurman, Alan and Sahn, David J and Jerosch-Herold, Michael and Kilner, Philip J and Sheehan, Florence H", doi = "10.1007/s10554-009-9496-4", issn = "1875-8312", journal = "The international journal of cardiovascular imaging", keywords = "Aortic Valve,Aortic Valve: physiopathology,Female,Heart Defects, Congenital,Heart Defects, Congenital: diagnosis,Heart Defects, Congenital: physiopathology,Humans,Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted,Imaging, Three-Dimensional,Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Cine,Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Cine: standards,Male,Observer Variation,Predictive Value of Tests,Reproducibility of Results,Retrospective Studies,Stroke Volume,Systole,Time Factors,Tricuspid Valve,Tricuspid Valve: physiopathology,Ventricular Function, Right", month = "dec", number = 8, pages = "791--6", pmid = 19757152, title = "{Determination of right ventricular end systole by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging: a standard method of selection.}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19757152", volume = 25, year = 2009 }

The case for myocardial ischemia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy..
Journal of the American College of Cardiology 54(9):866–75, August 2009.
URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Maron2009, abstract = "Since its original description 50 years ago, myocardial ischemia has been a recognized but underappreciated aspect of the pathophysiology of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Nevertheless, the assessment of myocardial ischemia is still not part of routine clinical diagnostic or management strategies. Morphologic abnormalities of the intramural coronary arterioles represent the primary morphologic substrate for microvascular dysfunction and its functional consequence-that is, blunted myocardial blood flow (MBF) during stress. Recently, a number of studies using contemporary cardiovascular imaging modalities such as positron emission tomography (PET) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) have led to an enhanced understanding of the role that myocardial ischemia and its sequelae fibrosis play on clinical outcome. In this regard, studies with PET have shown that HCM patients have impaired MBF after dipyridamole infusion and that this blunted MBF is a powerful independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality and adverse LV remodeling associated with LV systolic dysfunction. Stress CMR with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) has also shown that MBF is reduced in relation to magnitude of wall thickness and in those LV segments occupied by LGE (i.e., fibrosis). These CMR observations show an association between ischemia, myocardial fibrosis, and LV remodeling, providing support that abnormal MBF caused by microvascular dysfunction is responsible for myocardial ischemia-mediated myocyte death, and ultimately replacement fibrosis. Efforts should now focus on detecting myocardial ischemia before adverse LV remodeling begins, so that interventional treatment strategies can be initiated earlier in the clinical course to mitigate ischemia and beneficially alter the natural history of HCM.", author = "Maron, Martin S and Olivotto, Iacopo and Maron, Barry J and Prasad, Sanjay K and Cecchi, Franco and Udelson, James E and Camici, Paolo G", doi = "10.1016/j.jacc.2009.04.072", issn = "1558-3597", journal = "Journal of the American College of Cardiology", keywords = "Adult,Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic,Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic: complications,Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic: pathology,Humans,Male,Myocardial Ischemia,Myocardial Ischemia: etiology,Myocardial Ischemia: pathology", month = "aug", number = 9, pages = "866--75", pmid = 19695469, title = "{The case for myocardial ischemia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19695469", volume = 54, year = 2009 }

However, the effect on myocardial T(2)* of factors such as shimming, variations in capillary geometry, and susceptibility in relation to the effects of iron has not been fully clarified. Since T(2) is not affected by extrinsic magnetic field inhomogeneity and has different sensitivity to capillary geometry, investigation into the in vivo relationship between myocardial T(2)* and T(2) measurements can shed light on this important issue. This study was performed in 136 thalassemia patients. The myocardial T(2) and T(2)* thresholds for normality created identical no-iron-overload and iron-overloaded patient groups. In the no-iron group, there was no correlation between myocardial T(2) and T(2)*.

The effect of dynamic vessel motion on haemodynamic parameters in the right coronary artery: a combined MR and CFD study..

@article{Torii2009, abstract = "Human right coronary artery (RCA) haemodynamics is investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on subject-specific information from magnetic resonance (MR) acquisitions. The dynamically varying vascular geometry is reconstructed from MR images, incorporated in CFD in conjunction with pulsatile flow conditions obtained from MR velocity mapping performed on the same subject. The effects of dynamic vessel motion on instantaneous and cycle-averaged haemodynamic parameters, such as wall shear stress (WSS), time-averaged WSS (TAWSS) and oscillatory shear index (OSI), are examined by comparing an RCA model with a time-varying geometry and those with a static geometry, corresponding to nine different time-points in the cardiac cycle. The results show that the TAWSS is similar for the dynamic and static wall models, both qualitatively and quantitatively (correlation coefficient 0.89-0.95). Conversely, the OSI shows much poorer correlations (correlation coefficient 0.38-0.60), with the best correspondence being observed with the static models constructed from images acquired in late diastole (at t = 0 and 800 ms, the cardiac cycle is 900 ms). These findings suggest that neglecting dynamic motion of the RCA is acceptable if TAWSS is the primary focus but may result in underestimation of haemodynamic parameters related to the oscillatory nature of the blood flow.", author = "Torii, R and Keegan, J and Wood, N B and Dowsey, A W and Hughes, A D and Yang, G-Z and Firmin, D N and {Mcg Thom}, S A and Xu, X Y", doi = "10.1259/bjr/62450556", issn = "1748-880X", journal = "The British journal of radiology", keywords = "Adult,Blood Flow Velocity,Blood Flow Velocity: physiology,Coronary Vessels,Coronary Vessels: anatomy {\&} histology,Coronary Vessels: physiology,Hemodynamics,Hemorheology,Hemorheology: physiology,Humans,Image Processing, Computer-Assisted,Image Processing, Computer-Assisted: methods,Magnetic Resonance Angiography,Magnetic Resonance Angiography: methods,Male,Models, Cardiovascular,Motion,Pulsatile Flow,Pulsatile Flow: physiology,Stress, Mechanical", month = "jan", pages = "S24--32", pmid = 20348532, title = "{The effect of dynamic vessel motion on haemodynamic parameters in the right coronary artery: a combined MR and CFD study.}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20348532", volume = "82 Spec No", year = 2009 }

@article{Prasad2008, abstract = "A greater understanding of the molecular basis of hibernating myocardium may assist in identifying those patients who would most benefit from revascularization. Paired heart biopsies were taken from hypocontractile and normally-contracting myocardium (identified by cardiovascular magnetic resonance) from 6 patients with chronic stable angina scheduled for bypass grafting. Gene expression profiles of hypocontractile and normally-contracting samples were compared using Affymetrix microarrays. The data for patients with confirmed hibernating myocardium were analysed separately and a different, though overlapping, set (up to 380) of genes was identified which may constitute a molecular fingerprint for hibernating myocardium. The expression of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) was increased in hypocontractile relative to normally-contracting myocardium. The expression of BNP correlated most closely with the expression of proenkephalin and follistatin 3, which may constitute additional heart failure markers. Our data illustrate differential gene expression in hypocontractile and/hibernating myocardium relative to normally-contracting myocardium within individual human hearts. Changes in expression of these genes, including increased relative expression of natriuretic and other factors, may constitute a molecular signature for hypocontractile and/or hibernating myocardium.", author = "Prasad, Sanjay K and Clerk, Angela and Cullingford, Timothy E and Chen, Alexander W Y and Kemp, Timothy J and Cannell, Timothy M and Cowie, Martin R and Petrou, Mario", doi = "10.1016/j.ejheart.2008.08.008", issn = "1388-9842", journal = "European journal of heart failure", keywords = "Angina Pectoris,Angina Pectoris: physiopathology,Atrial Natriuretic Factor,Atrial Natriuretic Factor: biosynthesis,Atrial Natriuretic Factor: genetics,Enkephalins,Enkephalins: biosynthesis,Enkephalins: genetics,Follistatin-Related Proteins,Follistatin-Related Proteins: biosynthesis,Follistatin-Related Proteins: genetics,Gene Expression Profiling,Humans,Myocardial Contraction,Myocardium,Myocardium: metabolism,Natriuretic Peptide, Brain,Natriuretic Peptide, Brain: biosynthesis,Natriuretic Peptide, Brain: genetics,Protein Precursors,Protein Precursors: biosynthesis,Protein Precursors: genetics,RNA, Messenger,RNA, Messenger: biosynthesis,RNA, Messenger: genetics,Ventricular Function, Left", month = "dec", number = 12, pages = "1177--80", pmid = 18974021, title = "{Gene expression profiling of human hibernating myocardium: increased expression of B-type natriuretic peptide and proenkephalin in hypocontractile vs normally-contracting regions of the heart.}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18974021", volume = 10, year = 2008 }

The aim of this study was to determine the best method to measure the myocardial T2* from multi-gradient-echo data acquired both with and without black-blood preparation. Sixteen thalassemia patients from six centers were scanned twice locally, within 1 week, using an optimized bright-blood T2* sequence and then subsequently scanned at the standardization center in London within 4 weeks, using a T2* sequence both with and without black-blood preparation. Different curve-fitting models (monoexponential, truncation, and offset) were applied to the data and the results were compared by means of reproducibility. T2* measurements obtained using the bright- and black-blood techniques. The black-blood data were well fitted by the monoexponential model, which suggests that a more accurate measure of T2* can be obtained by removing the main source of errors in the bright-blood data. For bright-blood data, the offset model appeared to underestimate T2* values substantially and was less reproducible. The truncation model gave rise to more reproducible T2* measurements, which were also closer to the values obtained from the black-blood data.", author = "He, Taigang and Gatehouse, Peter D and Smith, Gillian C and Mohiaddin, Raad H and Pennell, Dudley J and Firmin, David N", doi = "10.1002/mrm.21744", file = ":C$\backslash$:/Users/yk822/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/He et al. - 2008 - Myocardial T2 measurements in iron-overloaded thalassemia An in vivo study to investigate optimal methods of quantifi.pdf:pdf", issn = "1522-2594", journal = "Magnetic resonance in medicine : official journal of the Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine / Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine", keywords = "Adult,Algorithms,Female,Great Britain,Humans,Image Enhancement,Image Enhancement: methods,Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted,Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted: methods,Iron,Iron Overload,Iron Overload: diagnosis,Iron Overload: metabolism,Iron: analysis,Magnetic Resonance Imaging,Magnetic Resonance Imaging: methods,Male,Myocardium,Myocardium: metabolism,Reproducibility of Results,Sensitivity and Specificity,Thalassemia,Thalassemia: diagnosis,Thalassemia: metabolism", month = "nov", number = 5, pages = "1082--9", pmid = 18956471, title = "{Myocardial T2* measurements in iron-overloaded thalassemia: An in vivo study to investigate optimal methods of quantification.}", url = "http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2593631{\&}tool=pmcentrez{\&}rendertype=abstract", volume = 60, year = 2008 }

@article{Ferreira2008, abstract = "MRI of myocardial perfusion observed with an extracellular contrast agent has proven valuable for the detection of coronary artery disease. During contrast enhancement transient dark rim artifacts are sometimes visible, complicating diagnosis and quantification. In this work a quantification of the frequency offsets caused solely by the first pass of Gd-DTPA in a typical perfusion setup was made in vivo and compared with both phantom work and numerical simulations data. The results show that numerically simulated and phantom data agree well with in vivo frequency offsets. During the first pass main field distortion occurs mainly in the subendocardium, and the same pattern is always observed: positive for posterior/anterior regions, negative for septal/lateral regions (from -69 to 85 Hz). The larger myocardial frequency offsets were measured for patients with greater angles between the long axis of the heart and the direction of the main field. From these results it would appear that the frequency offsets are too weak to cause dark rim artifacts due simply to intravoxel dephasing in a typical perfusion sequence. However, when added to other sources of off-resonance it can cause dark rims in particular regions of the myocardium wall in balanced-SSFP sequences.", author = "Ferreira, Pedro and Gatehouse, Peter and Bucciarelli-Ducci, Chiara and Wage, Ricardo and Firmin, David", doi = "10.1002/mrm.21723", issn = "1522-2594", journal = "Magnetic resonance in medicine : official journal of the Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine / Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine", keywords = "Adult,Algorithms,Computer Simulation,Contrast Media,Contrast Media: administration {\&} dosage,Coronary Artery Disease,Coronary Artery Disease: complications,Coronary Artery Disease: diagnosis,Female,Gadolinium DTPA,Gadolinium DTPA: administration {\&} dosage,Humans,Image Enhancement,Image Enhancement: methods,Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted,Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted: methods,Magnetic Resonance Imaging,Magnetic Resonance Imaging: instrumentation,Magnetic Resonance Imaging: methods,Male,Models, Cardiovascular,Phantoms, Imaging,Reproducibility of Results,Sensitivity and Specificity,Ventricular Dysfunction, Left,Ventricular Dysfunction, Left: diagnosis,Ventricular Dysfunction, Left: etiology", month = "oct", number = 4, pages = "860--70", pmid = 18816870, title = "{Measurement of myocardial frequency offsets during first pass of a gadolinium-based contrast agent in perfusion studies.}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18816870", volume = 60, year = 2008 }

Differentiation of RVOT-VT and ARVC in an elite athlete..

URL, DOI BibTeX
@article{Whyte2008a, abstract = "BACKGROUND: Differentiation of right ventricular outflow tract-ventricular tachycardia (RVOT-VT) and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) can be problematic in athletes. The high incidence of sudden death as the first clinical manifestation in ARVC highlights the importance of correct diagnosis and treatment. We report on the case of RVOT-VT in an elite female sprinter, and we review the literature on ventricular tachycardia (VT) in the absence of structural heart disease and ARVC. DISCUSSION: Of patients who present with VT, 10{\%} have no obvious structural disease. In the case of idiopathic VT from the RVOT and LVOT, the arrhythmia is monomorphic and generally not familial. In both disorders, the resting ECG has no identifiable abnormalities, and the echocardiogram and coronary angiography are usually normal. ARVC is a heart muscle disorder characterized by structural and functional abnormalities of the right ventricle due to a fibro-fatty replacement of the myocardium. The natural history of ARVC is considered to include four distinct phases. The early concealed phase of ARVC demonstrates ECG abnormalities concomitant to right and left ventricular dyskinesias. Differential diagnosis during this phase is problematic due to the presence of left bundle branch block morphology VT together with ECG anomalies commonly observed in athletes in RVOT-VT. Furthermore, long-standing VT in RVOT-VT may result in ventricular wall motion abnormalities mimicking ARVC. Radiofrequency ablation may be a valuable tool in the differential diagnosis, because this technique is highly effective in the treatment of RVOT-VT and of limited value in ARVC. Continued follow-up evaluation is an important for the confirmation of disease status after the diagnosis of idiopathic RVOT-VT.", author = "Whyte, Gregory P and Stephens, Nigel and Senior, Roxy and Peters, Nicholas and O'Hanlon, Rory and Sharma, Sanjay", doi = "10.1249/MSS.0b013e31816feead", issn = "1530-0315", journal = "Medicine and science in sports and exercise", keywords = "Adult,Athletic Performance,Athletic Performance: physiology,Death, Sudden,Death, Sudden: etiology,Death, Sudden: pathology,Diagnosis, Differential,Electrocardiography,Female,Humans,Sports Medicine,Tachycardia, Ventricular,Tachycardia, Ventricular: diagnosis,Tachycardia, Ventricular: physiopathology,Ventricular Dysfunction, Right,Ventricular Dysfunction, Right: diagnosis,Ventricular Dysfunction, Right: physiopathology", month = "aug", number = 8, pages = "1357--61", pmid = 18614961, title = "{Differentiation of RVOT-VT and ARVC in an elite athlete.}", url = "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18614961", volume = 40, year = 2008 }

@article{Long2008, abstract = "A detailed investigation of left ventricle (LV) flow patterns could improve our understanding of the function of the heart and provide further insight into the mechanisms of heart failure. This study presents patient-specific modelling with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate LV blood flow patterns in normal subjects. In the study, the prescribed LV wall movements based on the MRI measurements drove the blood flow in and out of the LV in computational fluid dynamics simulation. For the six subjects studied, the simulated LV flow swirls towards the aortic valve and is ejected into the ascending aorta with a vertical flow pattern that follows the left-hand rule. In diastole, the inflow adopts a reasonably straight route (with no significant secondary flow) towards the apex in the rapid filling phase with slight variations in the jet direction between different cases. When the jet reaches about two thirds of the distance from the inflow plane to the apex, the blood flow starts to change direction and swirls towards the apex. In the more slowly filling phase, a centrally located jet is evident with vortices located on both sides of the jet on an anterior-posterior plane that passes through the mitral and aortic valves. In the inferior-superior plane, a main vortex appears for most of the cases in which an anticlockwise vortex appears for three cases and a clockwise vortex occurs for one case. The simulated flow patterns agree well qualitatively with MRI-measured flow fields.", author = "Long, Q and Merrifield, R and Xu, X Y and Kilner, P and Firmin, D N and G-Z, Yang", issn = "0954-4119", journal = "Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.

@article{Petretto2008, abstract = "Left ventricular mass (LVM) and cardiac gene expression are complex traits regulated by factors both intrinsic and extrinsic to the heart. To dissect the major determinants of LVM, we combined expression quantitative trait locus1 and quantitative trait transcript (QTT) analyses of the cardiac transcriptome in the rat. Using these methods and in vitro functional assays, we identified osteoglycin (Ogn) as a major candidate regulator of rat LVM, with increased Ogn protein expression associated with elevated LVM. We also applied genome-wide QTT analysis to the human heart and observed that, out of 22,000 transcripts, OGN transcript abundance had the highest correlation with LVM. We further confirmed a role for Ogn in the in vivo regulation of LVM in Ogn knockout mice.

@article{Downie2008, abstract = "The purpose of this study was to estimate wall shear stress (WSS) in individual vessels of the venous circulation of the calf and quantify the effects of elastic compression based on change of vessel geometry and velocity waveform. The great saphenous vein and either a peroneal or posterior tibial vein have been imaged in four healthy subjects using magnetic resonance imaging, with and without the presence of a grade 1 medical stocking. Flow through image-based reconstructed geometries was numerically simulated for both a range of steady flow rates and ultrasound-derived transient velocity waveforms, scaled to give a standardized time averaged flow rate. For steady flow, the stocking produced an average percentage increase in mean WSS of approximately 100{\%} in the great saphenous vein across a range of 0.125-1.25 ml/s. The percentage increase in the peroneal/posterior tibial veins varied from 490 to 650{\%} across a range of 0.5-5 ml/s. In addition, application of the stocking eliminated periods of very low or zero flow from the transient waveforms. The average minimum value of WSS in all vessels without the stocking was {\textless}0.1 Pa. With the stocking, this was increased to 0.7 Pa in the great saphenous and 0.9 Pa in the peroneal/posterior tibial veins. The pathophysiological effects of these changes are discussed. In conclusion, the flight stocking was effective in raising venous WSS levels in prone subjects, and this effect was much more pronounced in the deep vessels. The stocking also tended to prevent cessation of flow during periods of increased downstream pressure produced by respiration.", author = "Downie, Steven P and Raynor, Sheila M and Firmin, David N and Wood, Nigel B and Thom, Simon A and Hughes, Alun D and Parker, Kim H and Wolfe, John H N and Xu, X Yun", doi = "10.1152/ajpheart.01302.2007", issn = "0363-6135", journal = "American journal of physiology.

Effects of oral testosterone treatment on myocardial perfusion and vascular function in men with low plasma testosterone and coronary heart disease..

@article{Webb2008, abstract = "Intracoronary testosterone infusions induce coronary vasodilatation and increase coronary blood flow. Longer term testosterone supplementation favorably affected signs of myocardial ischemia in men with low plasma testosterone and coronary heart disease. However, the effects on myocardial perfusion are unknown. Effects of longer term testosterone treatment on myocardial perfusion and vascular function were investigated in men with CHD and low plasma testosterone. Twenty-two men (mean age 57 +/- 9 [SD] years) were randomly assigned to oral testosterone undecanoate (TU; 80 mg twice daily) or placebo in a crossover study design. After each 8-week period, subjects underwent at rest and adenosine-stress first-pass myocardial perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance, pulse-wave analysis, and endothelial function measurements using radial artery tonometry, blood sampling, anthropomorphic measurements, and quality-of-life assessment. Although no difference was found in global myocardial perfusion after TU compared with placebo, myocardium supplied by unobstructed coronary arteries showed increased perfusion (1.83 +/- 0.9 vs 1.52 +/- 0.65; p = 0.037). TU decreased basal radial and aortic augmentation indexes (p = 0.03 and p = 0.02, respectively), indicating decreased arterial stiffness, but there was no effect on endothelial function. TU significantly decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and increased hip circumference, but had no effect on hemostatic factors, quality of life, and angina symptoms. In conclusion, oral TU had selective and modest enhancing effects on perfusion in myocardium supplied by unobstructed coronary arteries, in line with previous intracoronary findings.

@article{Chan2008, abstract = "Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is increasingly used to assess patients with mitral regurgitation. Its advantages include quantitative determination of ventricular volumes and function and the mitral regurgitant fraction, and in ischemic mitral regurgitation, regional myocardial function and viability. In addition to these, identification of leaflet prolapse or restriction is necessary when valve repair is contemplated. We describe a systematic approach to the evaluation of mitral regurgitation using CMR which we have used in 149 patients with varying etiologies and severity of regurgitation over a 15 month period. Following standard ventricular cine acquisitions, including 2, 3 and 4 chamber long axis views and a short axis stack for biventricular function, we image movements of all parts of the mitral leaflets using a contiguous stack of oblique long axis cines aligned orthogonal to the central part of the line of coaptation. The 8-10 slices in the stack, orientated approximately parallel to a 3-chamber view, are acquired sequentially from the superior (antero-lateral) mitral commissure to the inferior (postero-medial) commissure, visualising each apposing pair of anterior and posterior leaflet scallops in turn (A1-P1, A2-P2 and A3-P3). We use balanced steady state free precession imaging at 1.5 Tesla, slice thickness 5 mm, with no inter-slice gaps. Where the para-commissural coaptation lines curve relative to the central region, two further oblique cines are acquired orthogonal to the line of coaptation adjacent to each commissure. To quantify mitral regurgitation, we use phase contrast velocity mapping to measure aortic outflow, subtracting this from the left ventricular stroke volume to calculate the mitral regurgitant volume which, when divided by the left ventricular stroke volume, gives the mitral regurgitant fraction. In patients with ischemic mitral regurgitation, we further assess regional left ventricular function and, with late gadolinium enhancement, myocardial viability. Comprehensive assessment of mitral regurgitation using CMR is feasible and enables determination of mitral regurgitation severity, associated leaflet prolapse or restriction, ventricular function and viability in a single examination and is now routinely performed at our centre. The mitral valve stack of images is particularly useful and easy to acquire.", author = "Chan, K M John and Wage, Ricardo and Symmonds, Karen and Rahman-Haley, Shelley and Mohiaddin, Raad H and Firmin, David N and Pepper, John R and Pennell, Dudley J and Kilner, Philip J", doi = "10.1186/1532-429X-10-61", file = ":C$\backslash$:/Users/yk822/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Chan et al. - 2008 - Towards comprehensive assessment of mitral regurgitation using cardiovascular magnetic resonance.pdf:pdf", issn = "1532-429X", journal = "Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance", keywords = "Humans,Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted,Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Cine,Mitral Valve Insufficiency,Mitral Valve Insufficiency: etiology,Mitral Valve Insufficiency: pathology,Mitral Valve Insufficiency: physiopathology,Predictive Value of Tests,Severity of Illness Index,Ventricular Function, Left", month = "jan", pages = 61, pmid = 19102740, title = "{Towards comprehensive assessment of mitral regurgitation using cardiovascular magnetic resonance.}", url = "http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2621154{\&}tool=pmcentrez{\&}rendertype=abstract", volume = 10, year = 2008 }
