Type of funding sources: None.  18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) is commonly used for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE), but its prognostic value remains unknown.  This study sought to assess the prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and native valve endocarditis (NVE).  This study prospectively included 173 consecutive patients (109 PVE and 64 NVE) with definite left-sided IE who had an 18F-FDG PET/CT and were followed-up for 1 year. The primary endpoint was a composite of major cardiac events: death, recurrence of IE, acute cardiac failure, nonscheduled hospitalization for cardiovascular indication, and new embolic event.  18F-FDG PET/CT was positive in 100 (58%) patients, 83% (n = 90 of 109) in the PVE, and 16% (n = 10 of 64) in the NVE group. At a mean follow-up of 225 days (interquartile range: 199 to 251 days), the primary endpoint occurred in 94 (54%) patients: 63 (58%) in the PVE group and 31 (48%) in the NVE group. In the PVE group, positive 18F-FDG PET/CT was significantly associated with a higher rate of primary endpoint (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.7; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.1 to 6.7; p = 0.04). Moderate to intense 18F-FDG valvular uptake was also associated with worse outcome (HR: 2.3; 95% CI: 1.3 to 4.5; p = 0.03) and to new embolic events in PVE (HR: 7.5; 95% CI: 1.24 to 45.2; p = 0.03) and in NVE (HR: 8.8; 95% CI: 1.1 to 69.5; p = 0.02). In the NVE group, 18F-FDG PET/CT was not associated with occurrence of the primary endpoint CONCLUSIONS: In addition to its good diagnostic performance, 18F-FDG PET/CT is predictive of major cardiac events in PVE and new embolic events within the first year following IE.

18f -氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(18F-FDG PET/CT)通常用于诊断感染性心内膜炎(IE),但其预后价值尚不清楚。本研究旨在评估18F-FDG PET/CT在人工瓣膜心内膜炎(PVE)和原生瓣膜心内膜炎(NVE)中的预后价值。本研究前瞻性纳入173例确诊左侧IE患者(109例PVE, 64例NVE),随访1年,PET/CT检查为18F-FDG。主要终点是主要心脏事件的综合:死亡、IE复发、急性心力衰竭、心血管指征的非预定住院和新的栓塞事件。18F-FDG PET/CT阳性100例(58%),PVE组为83%(109例中n = 90例),NVE组为16%(64例中n = 10例)。在平均225天的随访中(四分位数范围:199至251天),94例(54%)患者出现主要终点:PVE组63例(58%),NVE组31例(48%)。在PVE组中,18F-FDG PET/CT阳性与较高的主要终点发生率显著相关(风险比[HR]: 2.7;95%置信区间[CI]: 1.1 ~ 6.7;P = 0.04)。中度至强烈的18F-FDG瓣膜摄取也与较差的结果相关(HR: 2.3;95% CI: 1.3 ~ 4.5;p = 0.03)和PVE新栓塞事件(HR: 7.5;95% CI: 1.24 ~ 45.2;p = 0.03), NVE组(HR: 8.8;95% CI: 1.1 ~ 69.5;P = 0.02)。在NVE组中,18F-FDG PET/CT与主要终点的发生无关结论:18F-FDG PET/CT除了具有良好的诊断性能外,还可以预测PVE患者的主要心脏事件和IE后一年内新的栓塞事件。主要终点发生:PVE的单因素和多因素分析单因素HR (95% CI) p值多因素HR (95% CI) p值入院时肾功能不全2.16 (1.00-4.68)0.05 CRP >100 mg/l 2.46(1.04-5.89) 0.02 1.90(1.10-3.40) 0.03金黄色葡萄球菌2.70(1.10-6.55)0.03严重瓣膜反流2.55(1.01-6.41)0.05 1.20(0.70-2.10)0.68超声并发症1.15(0.54-2.46)0.72植被长度>10 mm 2.53 (1.19-4.60) 0.03 18F-FDG PET/CT阳性3.74 (1.30-10.80)0.02 2.70 (1.10-6.70)0.04中度至强烈的18FDG瓣膜摄取2.70(1.20-6.30)0.02 2.30(1.30-4.50)0.03摘要图

Type of funding sources: None. Elevated left ventricular (LV) filling pressures are the main physiologic consequence of LV diastolic dysfunction. Left atrial (LA) strain was recently found useful to predict elevated LV filling pressures noninvasively. However, there are few reports on the role of LA strain when predicting LV filling pressure in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between LA strain and LV end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) in patients with CAD and preserved LV ejection fraction. Fifty-four patients with stable CAD were enrolled. Global atrial longitudinal strain was measured by averaging all atrial segments. Resorvoir (S-LAs), conduit (S-LAe), and contractile (S-LAa) phase strain were obtained. LVEDP was invasively obtained by left heart catheterization. Patients were divided into two groups: elevated LVEDP group (LVEDP > 15mmHg group: n = 23) and normal LVEDP group (LVEDP ≤ 15mmHg group: n = 31). Elevated LVEDP group showed significantly decreased S-LAs and S-LAa (S-LAs: 21.3 ± 7.2% vs. 27.5 ± 7.8%, p < 0.005; S-LAa: 9.7 ± 3.3% vs. 14.6 ± 3.4%, p < 0.0001). However, E/Ea and S-LAe were not significantly different between the two groups. LVEDP significantly correlated with S-LAa (r=-0.596, p < 0.0001) and S-LAs (r=-0.431, p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristics curve analysis showed that S-LAa could predict elevated LVEDP (AUC = 0.84) and a cut-off value of S-LAa < 11.6% was able to most accurately identify patients with elevated LVEDP. LA strain, especially S-LAa, provided additional diagnostic value for the noninvasive assessment of LV filling pressure in CAD patients with preserved LV ejection fraction.
资金来源类型:无。左室充盈压力升高是左室舒张功能障碍的主要生理后果。最近发现左心房(LA)应变可用于无创预测左室充盈压力升高。然而,关于LA应变在预测冠心病(CAD)患者左室充盈压中的作用的报道很少。本研究的目的是探讨冠心病患者左室舒张末压(LVEDP)与左室射血分数的相关性。54例稳定型CAD患者入组。通过平均所有心房段来测量总体心房纵向应变。得到了溶质相应变(S-LAs)、导管相应变(S-LAe)和收缩相应变(S-LAa)。左心导管有创性获得LVEDP。患者分为两组:LVEDP升高组(LVEDP > 15mmHg组:n = 23)和LVEDP正常组(LVEDP≤15mmHg组:n = 31)。LVEDP升高组S-LAs和S-LAa显著降低(S-LAs: 21.3±7.2% vs 27.5±7.8%,p < 0.005;S-LAa: 9.7±3.3% vs. 14.6±3.4%,p < 0.0001)。E/Ea和S-LAe在两组间差异无统计学意义。LVEDP与S-LAa (r=-0.596, p < 0.0001)、S-LAs (r=-0.431, p < 0.001)显著相关。受试者工作特征曲线分析显示,S-LAa能够预测LVEDP升高(AUC = 0.84), S-LAa < 11.6%的临界值能够最准确地识别LVEDP升高患者。LA应变,特别是S-LAa,为保留左室射血分数的CAD患者无创评估左室充盈压力提供了额外的诊断价值。

We investigated the relationship between local endothelial shear stress (ESS) and computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA)-derived anatomical and plaque characteristics data with impaired vasodilating capability assessed by positron emission tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (PET-MPI). A total of 92 coronary vessels of 53 patients who have undergone both CTCA and PET-MPI with 15O-water or 13N-ammonia were analysed. PET was considered abnormal when > 1 contiguous segments showed both stress Myocardial Blood Flow (MBF) ≤2.3mL/g/min and Myocardial Flow Reserve (MFR) ≤2.5 for 15O-water or <1.79 mL/g/min and ≤2.0 for 13N-ammonia respectively.  CTCA images were used to assess stenosis severity, lesion specific total plaque volume (PV), non-calcified PV and calcified PV as well as plaque phenotype. ESS was calculated for the full length of a lesion (total), as well as in the proximal, minimum lumen area and distal lesion segments. ESS was weakly correlated with total PV (rho = 0.273, p = 0.008), non-calcified PV (rho = 0.247, p = 0.017) and the volume of necrotic core (rho = 0.242, p = 0.02). ESS increased progressively with stenosis severity (p ≤ 0.001). ΕSS was also higher in functionally significant vs. non-significant lesions (10.4 [8.04-54.4] Pa vs. 3.9 [2.32-7.29] Pa, p ≤0.001). Addition of ESS to stenosis severity improved prediction (Δ[AUC]:0.113, 95% CI: 0.055 to 0.171, p = 0.0001) of functionally significant lesions. There is a weak positive association between lesion-specific ESS and plaque volume. ESS increases progressively with stenosis severity and is higher in functionally significant lesions by PET-MPI. The addition of ESS to CTCA-anatomical information improves prediction of an abnormal PET-MPI result.

Type of funding sources: None.  Sacubitril/valsartan has shown the ability in reducing the risk of death and of hospitalization in patients with HF (heart failure) and is recommended in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) who remain symptomatic despite conventional therapies. Strain imaging derived myocardial work (MW) is an emerging tool for the evaluation of left ventricular (LV) mechanics by incorporating both systolic deformation and afterload burden in the analysis. To evaluate in a prospective fashion the impact of sacubitril/valsartan therapy in HF patients on MW derived parameters in relation with standard echocardiographic indices. We recruited thirteen HF patients with indication to sacubitril/valsartan therapy according to current guidelines. Sacubitril/valsartan therapy titrated at the maximum tolerated dose. A comprehensive echo-Doppler exam, including speckle tracking derived assessment of global longitudinal strain (GLS) (in absolute value), was performed before and after a three months therapy with sacubitril/valsartan. Parameters of MW such as global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW) global wasted work (GWW) and global work efficiency (GWE) were calculated according to standardized procedures. Patients with more than mild aortic and mitral stenosis and/or regurgitation were excluded. Other exclusion criteria included permanent and/or persistent atrial fibrillation and inadequate echo images. The 13 patients (M/F = 11/2, age: 57 ± 8.2 years, aetiology: idiopathic in 3 patients, ischaemic in 7 patients and chemotherapy related cardiotoxicity in 3 patients, NYHA Class: II in 7 and III in 6 patients). All patients tolerated sacubitril/valsartan therapy. After the three months therapy an improvement of  LVEF (from 32.3 ± 2% to 36.2± 6%, p = 0.015), GLS (from 9.8 ± 1% to 11.6 ± 2%, p = 0.019), GWI (from 845.0 ± 175.0 mmHg% to 1091.6 ± 336.8 mmHg%, p = 0.003), GCW (from  993.4± 211.6 mmHg% to 1262.7 ± 404 mmHg%, p = 0.002) and GWE (from 77 ± 11% to 81 ± 10%, p = 0.002) was observed, without significant changes in GWW (from 190 ± 121 mmHg% to 211 ± 145 mmHg%, p = 0.307). We also found a positive correlation between the magnitude of LVEF improvement and the baseline values of GCW (r = 0.66, p = 0.014). This relation remained significant even after adjusting for the extent of systolic blood pressure reduction (r = 0.54, p = 0.033). Three months sacubitril/valsartan therapy significantly improves standard and advanced indices of LV systolic function. This improvement is due to the increase of constructive work more than to the reduction of wasted work and the increase of LVEF can be predicted by the global constructive work levels at baseline. MW assessment may help to understand the mechanisms underlying the sacubitril/valsartan therapy efficacy in HF patients. Abstract Figure.

Type of funding sources: None. Although the perceived prognosis of patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) is poor, the natural history of this condition is very heterogeneous. In this study we sought to identify predictors of poor outcomes which could help refine prognosis. We studied consecutive patients referred to our centre from 12/2016 to 11/2018 with confirmed precapillary PH. A range of clinical, laboratory, echocardiographic and right heart catheterization (RHC) data variables were collected to assess predictors of survival. Outcome was defined as mortality from any cause. Of the 80 included patients, 51 (64%) were female and mean age was 60.5 ± 16.0 years. The majority of patients (45%) had pulmonary arterial hypertension (group 1) and 41% were chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertensive disease patients (group 4). During a median follow-up of 18.7 [IQR 12.3 – 26.7] months, 10 patients (12.5%) died. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class (HR 19.4 [95% CI 2.56 - 147.5], p = 0.004) was the strongest predictor of mortality, whereas higher haemoglobin (HR 0.70 [0.49 - 0.99], p= 0.047) and 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) expressed as percentage of predicted (HR 0.96 [0.93 - 0.99], p = 0.004) were associated with better survival overall. Echocardiographic parameters such as eccentricity index (HR 3.35 (95% CI 1.11 - 10.0), p = 0.031), short pulmonary acceleration time (HR 0.98 [95% CI 0.96 - 0.99], p = 0.008), the presence of moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation (HR 6.46 [95% CI 1.67 - 25.0], p = 0.007) and pericardial effusion (HR 3.86 [95% CI 1.12 - 13.4], p = 0.033) were also associated with death. Traditional right ventricular function parameters such as fractional area change, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and S velocity of the lateral annular tricuspid annulus did not predict mortality in these patients. Invasive pressures and pulmonary vascular resistance measured by RHC were also not associated with mortality. In multivariable analysis, NYHA functional class was the only independent predictor of mortality in patients with precapillary PH (HR 14.5 [95% CI 2.3 - 146.8], p = 0.006). Eccentricity index, short pulmonary acceleration time, moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation and pericardial effusion were associated with poor survival. Functional class was the strongest independent predictor of mortality in precapillary PH patients. These parameters may help stratify the risk of death in this heterogenous population.

Type of funding sources: None. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy remains an elusive entity to diagnose, especially with increasing time following the initial clinical event. Patients are often referred for cardiac MR, but when performed on a convalescent patient, the conventional CMR exam can be normal. However CMR elevated native T1 values on mapping may persist, aiding diagnosis. We sought to review a series of confirmed Takotsubo cases to evaluate which CMR features were most helpful in making a diagnosis. We reviewed 2 years of CMR exams in our institution and identified 14 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy after a read of all clinical data by two consultant cardiologists. All of the 14 patients had a troponin positive cardiac event, unobstructed coronary arteries on invasive angiography and echocardiographic evidence of apical hypo/akinesia (or basal, in the non-apical variants) at the time of presentation. All CMR exams were performed at 1.5T. All included functional assessment, T1 mapping and late gadolinium enhancement(LGE). Some exams also included T2 mapping and STIR. All patients were female. The time interval between presentation and CMR exam varied from 24 hours to 2 years. 2 of the scans showed evidence of non-apical Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. At the time of CMR, only 7 patients(50%) had a residual regional wall motion abnormality, but 13 patients(93%) had a region of elevated native T1 (>1 myocardial segment). High signal was identified on STIR in 6(43%) and elevated native T2 in 10(71%). Of interest, we identified small areas of patchy LGE in 2 patients(14%). Increased native T1 signal may be the only residual cardiac MRI marker of previous Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, persisting for months after the initial cardiac event, even after resolution of regional wall motion abnormalities and recovery of the left ventricular function. T1 mapping should be performed in CMR exams for Takotsubo cardiomyopathy to improve diagnostic yield. Abstract Figure. CMR in convalescent Takotsubo

There is excellent interstudy agreement for GLS and GCS methods. However, there are important inter-method differences in absolute values, that need to be considered for clinical application as a surveillance method and longitudinal studies.

Type of funding sources: None. An aberrant DPP6 mutation haplotype on chromosome 7 is associated with familial idiopathic ventricular fibrillation in severely affected Dutch families with numerous cases of  sudden cardiac death (SCD) So far, no clinical parameters could be linked to predict SCD risk other than this genetic predisposition. In various other cardiac disease, global longitudinal strain (GLS) and mechanical dispersion (MD), both markers of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, are predictive tools for patients at risk for ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and SCD. The goal of the current study was to investigate whether LV dysfunction, detected by GLS and MD, is present in patients with DPP6 haplotype. DPP6 risk-haplotype carriers with sufficient echocardiographic images were included as cases (n = 31, 15 males mean age 41 ± 11 years) and individuals evaluated during cascade screening who were tested but appeared not to be affected as controls (n = 14, 7 males, mean  age 39 ± 12 years). Echocardiographic bi-plane ejection fraction (LVEF), GLS and MD of the left ventricular were determined. LVEF was similar between DPP6 cases (57.3%) and controls (60.5%, p = 0.07). In contrast, the GLS of the LV (-18.0%) of DPP6 cases was significant lower compared to controls (-21.1%, p < 0.0001). MD in DPP6 cases (43.4ms) was significantly higher than in controls (26.7ms, p < 0.0001). DPP6 risk- haplotype carriers have similar LVEF, but significant lower LV-GLS and higher mechanical dispersion than controls. These findings can be used for clinical discrimination. Whether these markers can be used for prediction of clinical events has to be determined after a longer follow up. echocardiographic characteristics controls DPP6 p-value LVEF (%) 60.5 57.3 0.07 GLS LV (%) -21.2 -18.0 0.0001 MD ( ms) 26.7 43.4 0.0001

Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main funding source(s): The Norwegian Health Association Septal dysfunction is a main feature of left bundle branch block (LBBB), and increasing wall stress is a proposed mechanism of heart failure development in LBBB patients. To try to reveal the pathophysiologic pathway from dyssynchrony to heart failure, we investigated the relationship between septal and left ventricular (LV) lateral wall stress in patients with LBBB. Increased septal wall stress causes septal dysfunction in LBBB. We included 24 LBBB-patients (65 ± 11 years, 11 males) with LV ejection fraction (EF) ranging from 18 to 67%, and 8 healthy controls (58 ± 10 years, 4 males). Wall stress was calculated at peak LV pressure (LVP) according to the law of La Place ([LVP x radius]/[wall thickness]). Wall thickness was measured using M-mode, and regional curvature was measured in mid-ventricular shortaxis from 2D echocardiographic images. We used a previously validated non-invasive method to estimate LVP from brachial blood pressure and adjusted for valvular events. Myocardial scar was ruled out by late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Wall stress was significantly higher in septum than LV lateral wall at peak LVP (48 ± 12 vs 37 ± 11 kPa, p < 0.01) in LBBB patients, while no difference was seen in the controls (Figure A). In patients, septal wall thickening showed a strong correlation with LVEF (r = 0.77, p < 0.01) (Figure B). Similar correlation was not significant for the LV lateral wall (r = 0.13, NS). Attenuation of septal wall thickening in LBBB-patients correlated well with increasing septal wall stress (r=-0.60, p < 0.01). Wall thickening and stress did not correlate in the LV lateral wall (r=-0.14, NS). Increased septal wall stress is associated with reduced systolic thickening in patients with LBBB. Septal wall thickening, in contrast to LV lateral wall thickening, was correlated to global LV function. These findings suggest that septal remodeling which could have normalized septal wall stress, was not achieved and heart failure may develop. Abstract Figure.

Type of funding sources: None. Background A previous study reported a high prevalence (21%) of clinically relevant aortic dilatation (≥40 mm) in competitive veteran runners and rowers. It is uncertain whether this also applies to middle-aged sportsmen performing other sporting disciplines. Purpose To relate aortic dimensions to sporting disciplines in middle-aged sportsmen. Methods Middle-aged sportsmen, ≥45 years of age, underwent coronary CT angiography. Aortic size was measured at the sinus of Valsalva (cusp-cusp) and the ascending aorta (at the height of the pulmonary trunk). Dominant sporting discipline was categorized as running, cycling or other. Analysis of variance was used to compare baseline characteristics and aortic dimensions across sporting disciplines. Multivariable linear regression was used to adjust for baseline characteristics.  Results A total of 260 sportsmen (mean age 55.1 ± 6.4 years; 64 runners, 75 cyclists and 121 other sporting disciplines) were included (Table). Clinically relevant aortic dilatation was found in 5.0% (n = 13). Aortic size or presence of aortic dilatation did not differ across sporting disciplines. Ascending aorta and aortic root size were significantly related to age, body surface area, diastolic blood pressure and exercise tolerance, but not sporting disciplines. Conclusions We found clinically relevant aortic dilatation in 5% of middle-aged sportsmen. Aortic size was not different between sporting disciplines. Aortic size may be more related to level of exercise performance rather than sporting discipline.

资金来源类型:无。先前的一项研究报道,在竞技资深运动员和赛艇运动员中,临床上相关的主动脉扩张(≥40 mm)的患病率很高(21%)。目前还不确定这是否也适用于从事其他体育项目的中年运动员。目的探讨中年运动员主动脉尺寸与运动学科的关系。方法对年龄≥45岁的中年运动员行冠状动脉CT血管造影。在Valsalva鼻窦(尖尖)和升主动脉(肺动脉干高度)处测量主动脉大小。主要的运动项目被归类为跑步、骑自行车或其他。方差分析用于比较不同运动学科的基线特征和主动脉尺寸。采用多变量线性回归对基线特征进行调整。结果共260名运动员,平均年龄55.1±6.4岁;包括64名赛跑运动员、75名单车运动员及121名其他运动项目(表)。有临床意义的主动脉扩张占5.0% (n = 13)。主动脉大小或主动脉扩张的存在在不同运动学科之间没有差异。升主动脉和主动脉根大小与年龄、体表面积、舒张压和运动耐量相关,与运动学科无关。结论:我们发现5%的中年运动员有临床上相关的主动脉扩张。不同运动项目的主动脉大小没有差异。主动脉的大小可能更多地与运动表现水平有关,而不是与运动纪律有关。跑步(n = 64)骑自行车(n = 75)其他(n = 121) p值参与者年龄特点,年54.6±6.4 - 56.1±6.8 54.8±6.2 - 0.30收缩压,12毫米汞柱129±128±13 129±12 0.95舒张压,79毫米汞柱80±8±8 80±0.32身体表面积,m2 2.03±0.14 - 2.02±0.15 2.07±0.15 - 0.08运动耐量,瓦特310±42 * 329±0.003 47 307±48主动脉维升主动脉最大直径,32.5毫米32.5±3.1 - 33.0±3.8±3.6 - 0.64平均直径,mm 34.3±2.8 34.1±2.8 33.7±3.2 0.46 SoV, nc - rcc直径,mm 34.2±2.9 34.0±2.9 33.7±3.4 0.61任何主动脉直径≥40 mm, n(%) 3(4.7) 2(2.7) 8(6.6) 0.46值为平均SD或n(%)。*明显不同于骑自行车和其他。BP =血压;SoV = Valsalva窦;NCC =非冠状动脉尖;右冠状动脉尖

It is uncertain whether this also applies to middle-aged sportsmen performing other sporting disciplines.\u0000 Purpose\u0000 To relate aortic dimensions to sporting disciplines in middle-aged sportsmen.\u0000 Methods\u0000 Middle-aged sportsmen, ≥45 years of age, underwent coronary CT angiography. Aortic size was measured at the sinus of Valsalva (cusp-cusp) and the ascending aorta (at the height of the pulmonary trunk). Dominant sporting discipline was categorized as running, cycling or other. Analysis of variance was used to compare baseline characteristics and aortic dimensions across sporting disciplines. Multivariable linear regression was used to adjust for baseline characteristics. \u0000 Results\u0000 A total of 260 sportsmen (mean age 55.1 ± 6.4 years; 64 runners, 75 cyclists and 121 other sporting disciplines) were included (Table). Clinically relevant aortic dilatation was found in 5.0% (n = 13). Aortic size or presence of aortic dilatation did not differ across sporting disciplines. Ascending aorta and aortic root size were significantly related to age, body surface area, diastolic blood pressure and exercise tolerance, but not sporting disciplines.\u0000 Conclusions\u0000 We found clinically relevant aortic dilatation in 5% of middle-aged sportsmen.
