Late gadolinium enhancement in pulmonary hypertension predicts clinical events

چکیده
Methods A retrospective chart review of PH pts (n=42) who underwent clinically indicated CMR were analyzed. Demographic data showed mean age 61 yrs; 26% male; 55% WHO group 1 21% group 2, 5% group 3, 14% group 4, 5% group 5. RV volumetric data were indexed to BSA, and along with RVIP LGE information, were correlated with major adverse clinical events (MACE) including hospitalization, death, referral/need for lung transplantation and need for addition/increase in inotropic therapy. In WHO group 2, lung transplantation was not a MACE event as it is not a relevant clinical option.

Right ventricular involvement in cardiac sarcoidosis demonstrated with cardiac magnetic resonance
AIMS Cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis is reported in up to 30% of patients. Left ventricular involvement demonstrated by contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance has been well validated. We sought to determine the prevalence and distribution of right ventricular late gadolinium enhancement in patients diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively evaluated 8...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the major clinical determinants of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) at ventricular insertion points (VIPs) commonly seen in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). METHODS Forty-six consecutive PH patients (mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥25 mmHg at rest) and 21 matched controls were examined. Right ventricular (RV) morphology, function and LGE mass volu...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Pulmonary Vascular Resistance by Magnetic Resonance in Systolic Heart Failure.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary hypertension is associated with poor prognosis in heart failure. However, non-invasive diagnosis is still challenging in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the prognostic utility of non-invasive estimation of pulmonary vascular resistances (PVR) by cardiovascular magnetic resonance to predict adverse cardiovascular outcomes in heart failure with reduced ejec...
متن کاملLate gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance predicts clinical worsening in patients with pulmonary hypertension
BACKGROUND Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) occurs at the right ventricular (RV) insertion point (RVIP) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and has been shown to correlate with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) derived RV indices. However, the prognostic role of RVIP-LGE and other CMR-derived parameters of RV function are not well established. Our aim was to evaluate the predict...
متن کاملNative T1 myocardial tissue characterisation in patients with pulmonary hypertension: findings from International T1 Multicentre Study
Background Pulmonary hypertension is a severe disorder characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure leading to right ventricular (RV) failure and premature death. We have recently shown that high signal in septal myocardium by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging indicates more severe disease. This study investigated whether markers of interst...
