Right Ventricular Strain and Dyssynchrony Assessment in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Feature-Tracking Study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Analysis of right ventricular (RV) regional dysfunction by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy (ARVC) may be inadequate because of the complex contraction pattern of the RV. Aim of this study was to determine the use of RV strain and dyssynchrony assessment in ARVC using feature-tracking CMR analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-two consecutive patients with ARVC referred to CMR imaging were included. Thirty-two patients with idiopathic RV outflow tract arrhythmias and 32 control subjects, matched for age and sex to the ARVC group, were included for comparison purpose. CMR imaging was performed to assess biventricular function; feature-tracking analysis was applied to the cine CMR images to assess regional and global longitudinal, circumferential, and radial RV strains and RV dyssynchrony (defined as the SD of the time-to-peak strain of the RV segments). RV global longitudinal strain (-17±5% versus -26±6% versus -29±6%; P<0.001), global circumferential strain (-9±4% versus -12±4% versus -13±5%; P=0.001), and global radial strain (18 [12-26]% versus 22 [15-32]% versus 27 [20-39]%; P=0.015) were significantly lower and SD of the time-to-peak RV strain in all 3 directions were significantly higher among patients with ARVC compared with patients with RV outflow tract arrhythmias and controls. RV global longitudinal strain >-23.2%, SD of the time-to-peak RV longitudinal strain >113.1 ms, and SD of the time-to-peak RV circumferential strain >177.1 ms allowed correct identification of 88%, 75%, and 63% of ARVC patients with no or only minor CMR criteria for ARVC diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Strain analysis by feature-tracking CMR helps to objectively quantify global and regional RV dysfunction and RV dyssynchrony in patients with ARVC and provides incremental value over conventional cine CMR imaging.

The Correlation between Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Documented by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...

Background Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is associated with increased risk of sudden cardiac death. It is a progressive disease that can already manifest itself during childhood and adolescence. Since little is known about the early stage in pediatric patients, this study sought to determine the influence of right and left ventricular findings from cardiac magnetic reso...

متن کاملThe Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Evaluation of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) is a cardiac muscle disorder characterized pathologically by fibrofatty replacement of the right ventricular (RV) myocardium [1]. In the early stage of the disease, structural changes may be confined to, the so called "triangle of dysplasia" in the RV. Clinical expression ranges from an asymptomatic phenotype, arrhythmias or eve...
