T1 mapping in severe aortic stenosis: insights into LV remodeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Aortic stenosis (AS) appears to be not just a disease of the valve, with adaptive and maladaptive myocardial remodeling playing a key role. Left ventricular (LV) remodeling in AS is characterized by cellular hypertrophy and diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Macroscopic patterns differ between patients: as hypertrophy increases, the pattern changes from normal to concentric remodeling, concentric hypertrophy and finally decompensation. T1 mapping allows non-invasive estimation of diffuse myocardial fibrosis (native T1 and extracellular volume fraction; ECV). We use this methodology to investigate and correlate macroscopic and tissue level patterns of LV remodeling in AS patients prior to aortic valve replacement (AVR) as part of a larger outcome study (RELIEF-AS Study: NCT 02174471).

Left ventricular remodeling and hypertrophy in patients with aortic stenosis: insights from cardiovascular magnetic resonance
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard non-invasive method for determining left ventricular (LV) mass and volume but has not been used previously to characterise the LV remodeling response in aortic stenosis. We sought to investigate the degree and patterns of hypertrophy in aortic stenosis using CMR. METHODS Patients with moderate or severe aortic stenosis, n...
متن کاملT1 values by conservative septal postprocessing approach are superior in relating to the interstitial myocardial fibrosis: findings from patients with severe aortic stenosis
Background Accumulation of diffuse interstitial myocardial fibrosis in severe aortic stenosis relates to left ventricular (LV) functional impairment and determines the postoperative outcome in these patients. T1 mapping has been proposed for non-invasive quantification of diffuse interstitial fibrosis. We examined associations between T1 values and collagen volume fraction from endomyocardial b...

OBJECTIVES The left ventricular (LV) response to combined pressure and volume overload [aortic stenosis (AS) and aortic regurgitation (AR)] versus pressure overload (isolated AS)has not been systematically studied. We aimed to assess LV remodeling, functional and hemodynamic consequences inpatients with mixed aortic valve disease versus patients with isolated AS. METHODS We enrolled 181 patie...
متن کاملDetection of left ventricular diffuse fibrosis with quantitative T1 mapping in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Background Background: Quantitation of T1 relaxation times (T1 time) is a novel non-invasive CMR technique which can detect both interstitial and replacement fibrosis. T1 changes consistent with interstitial fibrosis have been described in conditions associated with left ventricular (LV) remodeling and systolic dysfunction, including chronic mitral regurgitation and aortic stenosis. Atrial fibr...
متن کاملLeft ventricular remodeling after reperfused acute myocardial infarction: insights from automated ECV mapping
Background In reperfused acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), infarct size and microvascular obstruction (MVO) are strong predictors of adverse LV remodeling and poor outcome. However, the role of remote myocardium is less clear. Remote native T1 changes have been linked with adverse LV remodeling and is thought to be associated with inflammation. We used automated ECV mapp...
