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.

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.

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.

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.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 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.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 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.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 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).\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 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.\u0000 Abstract Figure.\u0000","PeriodicalId":11963,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Echocardiography","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78090574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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

Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main funding source(s): National Insitute for Health Research Background There is clinical and prognostic evidence for global longitudinal strain (GLS) and circumferential strain (GCS). A range of techniques exist: 2-dimensional echocardiography (2Decho), 3-dimensional echocardiography (3Decho) and Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR). Purpose To investigate inter-study repeatability and inter-method comparison of GLS and GCS techniques. Methods rescan 2Decho, 3Decho, 1.5T Siemens CMR (Cine imaging and Displacement encoding with stimulated echoes [DENSE]), 3T Siemens CMR (Cine Imaging and DENSE) and 3T Philips CMR (Tagging and Fast strain-encoding [fSENC]) imaging. Strain was quantified for 2Decho (EchoPAC), 3Decho (TomTec), Feature tracking (FT) for cine imaging (CircleCVI), CIM (University of Auckland) for DENSE and Tag, and Myostrain (Myocardial solutions) for fSENC. Results 20(6F) volunteers, mean age 33 ± 7 years, mean LVEF 62 ± 4%. All GLS and GCS methods had excellent inter-study agreement (ICC > 0.75) with coefficient of variation (CoV) between 4-8% (Table 1). Median and IQR are presented in Figure 1.

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.
资金来源类型:公共机构。主要资金来源:挪威健康协会(Norwegian Health Association):室间隔功能障碍是左束支传导阻滞(LBBB)的主要特征,而壁应力增加是LBBB患者心力衰竭发展的一种机制。为了揭示从非同步化到心力衰竭的病理生理途径,我们研究了LBBB患者中隔和左室(LV)外壁应力之间的关系。室间隔壁压力增加导致LBBB的室间隔功能障碍。我们纳入24例左室射血分数(EF)在18% ~ 67%之间的lbbb患者(65±11岁,11名男性)和8名健康对照(58±10岁,4名男性)。根据La Place定律([LVP x半径]/[壁厚])计算峰值低压压力(LVP)时的壁应力。使用m模式测量壁厚,并通过二维超声心动图测量中心室短性的区域曲率。我们使用了一种先前验证过的非侵入性方法,通过肱血压来估计LVP,并根据瓣膜事件进行调整。晚期钆增强心脏磁共振成像排除心肌瘢痕。LBBB患者在LVP峰值时,室间隔壁应力明显高于左室侧壁(48±12 kPa vs 37±11 kPa, p < 0.01),而对照组无差异(图A)。在患者中,室间隔壁增厚与LVEF有很强的相关性(r = 0.77, p < 0.01)(图B),相似的相关性在左室侧壁无显著性(r = 0.13, NS)。lbbb患者室间隔壁增厚的减弱与室间隔壁应力的增加有良好的相关性(r=-0.60, p < 0.01)。左室侧壁壁增厚与应力无相关性(r=-0.14, NS)。在LBBB患者中,室间隔壁压力增加与收缩增厚减少有关。与左室侧壁增厚相比,室间隔壁增厚与左室整体功能相关。这些结果表明,可以使室间隔壁应力正常化的室间隔重塑没有实现,可能会发生心力衰竭。抽象的图。

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.
