- BACKGROUND: The time from symptom onset to reperfusion in acute myocardial infarction (MI) has been shown to be a poor predictor of patient outcome. Acute electrocardiographic (ECG) changes, however, have been shown useful for estimated acuteness of myocardial ischemia using the Anderson-Wilkins ECG ischemia acuteness score (AW-acuteness score). The aim was to study whether acute ischemic ECG changes can predict the amount of salvageable myocardium in patients with acute ST-elevation MI. METHODS: Thirty-eight patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention for first-time ST-elevation MI were retrospectively enrolled. Myocardium at risk (MaR) was determined by myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography acutely or by T2-weighted cardiac magnetic resonance after 1 week, at the same time when final MI size was determined by late gadolinium enhancement. Myocardial salvage was calculated as (MaR - MI size)/MaR and compared with AW-acuteness score and time from symptom onset to primary percutaneous coronary intervention. RESULTS: The AW-acuteness score correlated significantly with salvageable myocardium for right coronary artery (RCA) occlusions (r = -0.57; P = .02) but not for left anterior descending artery (LAD) occlusions (r = -0.04; P = .88). Time from symptom onset did not correlate with the amount of salvageable myocardium (LAD, r = 0.04 and P = .87; RCA, r = -0.40 and P = .13). CONCLUSIONS: There is a moderate correlation between AW-acuteness score and salvageable myocardium in patients with acute RCA occlusion but not in patients with LAD occlusion.

- Cardiovascular-MR (CMR) is the gold standard for quantifying myocardial infarction using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) technique. Both 2D- and 3D-LGE-sequences are used in clinical practise and in clinical and experimental studies for infarct quantification. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate if image acquisitions with 2D- and 3D-LGE show the same infarct size in patients and ex vivo.

Non-invasive pressure volume loops derived by cardiovascular magnetic resonance: association between area at risk or infarct size and cardiac hemodynamics at 2-6 days after myocardial infarction

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- BackgroundA novel non-invasive method for generation of pressure volume loops (PV-loops) using brachial blood pressure and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has recently been presented and validated (1). The non-invasive nature of this method enables calculation of PV-loops in large patient cohorts previously not feasible due to the need of invasive measurements.PurposeThe purpose of the present study was to investigate how cardiac hemodynamics assessed by PV-loop variables such as stroke work, potential energy, contractility and ventriculoarterial coupling is related to myocardium at risk and infarct size in a cohort of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI).MethodA total of 100 patients with ST-elevation MI (STEMI) were included from the SOCCER, MITOCARE and CHILL-MI trials (2-4). The CHILL-MI cohort (n = 11) was prone to a stricter selection criterion than the SOCCER cohort, including first-time myocardial infarction and no comorbidities. All patients underwent a CMR examination at 2-6 days after MI. Non-invasive PV-loops were generated by combining volumetric CMR data and brachial sphygmomanometric pressure measurements using a recently validated method (1). Maximal elastance (Emax, translated to contractility), stroke work, potential energy and ventriculoarterial coupling (Ea/Emax) were measured from the PV-loops. Myocardium at risk and infarct size were assessed using contrast-enhanced steady state free precession and late gadolinium enhancement images, respectively.ResultsContractility, ventriculoarterial coupling, stroke work and potential energy all correlated to myocardium at risk (Emax: r²=0.25, Ea/Emax: r²=0.36, stroke work: r²=0.21, potential energy: r²=0.10) and infarct size (Emax: r²=0.29, Ea/Emax: r²=0.41, stroke work: r²=0.25, potential energy: r²=0.15) as shown in Figure 1. Furthermore, contractility showed a stronger correlation to myocardium at risk (Emax: r²=0.77) than to infarct size (Emax: r²=0.37) for the CHILL-MI patients as shown in Figure 2.ConclusionNon-invasive CMR derived PV-loop parameters can be used to assess cardiac hemodynamics early after STEMI showing that increased myocardium at risk and infarct size are both associated with an increased ventriculoarterial coupling and potential energy, and a decreased contractility and stroke work. To what extent these hemodynamic parameters provide incremental prognostic information compared to conventional parameters such as ejection fraction and left ventricular dimensions after STEMI remains to be determined.

Left ventricular global wall thickness is easily calculated, detects and characterizes hypertrophy, and has prognostic utility

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can be used to measure left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and left ventricular mass (LVM). However, there is currently no good way to measure the normality of LVM in relation to a given LVEDV. We hypothesized that a simple measure of left ventricular global wall thickness (GWT) would be accurate, beneficial for detecting and characterizing hypertrophy, and have prognostic significance.METHODS: Subjects underwent CMR at 1.5T, including healthy volunteers (n=99) and patients assessed for heart disease (n=2828).RESULTS: GWT calculated from LVEDV and LVM had excellent agreement with measured mean end-diastolic wall thickness of the entire left ventricle (bias 0.01±0.23mm). GWT was most predictive of death or hospitalization for heart failure in patients with normal findings by CMR (n=326, log-rank 26.8, p<0.001, median [interquartile range] follow-up 5.8 [5.0–6.7] years). GWT indexed to body surface area (GWTi) was most predictive of outcomes in patients with normal LVEDV index (n=1352, log-rank 36.4, p<0.001, follow-up 5.5 [4.1–6.5] years). Patients with concentric remodeling had worse prognosis than the normal patients (p=0.02), and the patients with hypertrophy had worse prognosis than both normal patients (p<0.001) and patients with concentric remodeling (p=0.045), see Figure 1. Of patients with suspected heart disease but normal CMR findings regarding left ventricular volumes, function, mass, and scar, 22% were found to have increased mean GWTi corresponding to concentric remodeling, see Figure 2.CONCLUSIONS: Left ventricular GWT is an intuitive measure that can be easily calculated from mass and volume with high accuracy, and has prognostic utility in patients with normal CMR findings. Also, GWTi classifies hypertrophy as concentric or eccentric, and detects concentric remodeling in a substantial portion of patients with otherwise normal findings.
