The association between cardiovascular risk and cardiovascular magnetic resonance measures of fibrosis: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).

ABSTRACT: Risk scores for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are in common use to integrate multiple cardiovascular risk factors in order to identify individuals at greatest risk for disease. The purpose of this study was to determine if individuals at greater cardiovascular risk have T1 mapping indices by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) indicative of greater myocardial fibrosis.CVD risk scores for 1208 subjects (men, 50.8%) ages 55-94 years old were evaluated in the Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) at six centers. T1 times were determined at 1.5Tesla before and after gadolinium administration (0.15 mmol/kg) using a modified Look-Locker pulse sequence. The relationship between CMR measures (native T1, 12 and 25 minute post-gadolinium T1, partition coefficient and extracellular volume fraction) and 14 established different cardiovascular risk scores were determined using regression analysis. Bootstrapping analysis with analysis of variance was used to compare different CMR measures. CVD risk scores were significantly different for men and women (p?

Project description:BACKGROUND:While studies of the left atrium (LA) have demonstrated associations between volumes and emptying fraction with atrial fibrillation (AF), the contribution of right atrial (RA) abnormalities to incident AF remains poorly understood. OBJECTIVES:Assess the association between RA structure and function with incident AF using feature-tracking cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). METHODS:This is a prospective cohort study of all participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis with baseline CMR, sinus rhythm, and free of clinical cardiovascular disease at study initiation. RA volume, strain, and emptying fraction in participants with incident AF (n = 368) were compared against AF-free (n = 2779). Cox proportional-hazards models assessed association between variables. RESULTS:Participants were aged 60 ± 10 yrs., 55% female, and followed an average 11.2 years. Individuals developing AF had higher baseline RA maximum volume index (mean ± standard deviation [SD]: 24 ± 9 vs 22 ± 8 mL/m2, p = 0.002) and minimum volume index (13 ± 7 vs 12 ± 6 mL/m2, p < 0.001), and lower baseline RA emptying fraction (45 ± 15% vs 47 ± 15%, p = 0.02), peak global strain (34 ± 17% vs 36 ± 19%, p < 0.001), and peak free-wall strain (40 ± 23% vs 42 ± 26%, p = 0.049) compared with the AF-free population. After adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors and LA volume and function, we found RA maximum volume index (hazards ratio [HR]: 1.13 per SD, p = 0.041) and minimum volume index (HR: 1.12 per SD, p = 0.037) were independently associated with incident AF. CONCLUSIONS:In a large multiethnic population, higher RA volume indices were independently associated with incident AF after adjustment for conventional cardiovascular risk factors and LA parameters. It is unclear if this predictive value persists when additional adjustment is made for ventricular parameters.

Project description:Purpose To examine the associations of myocardial diffuse fibrosis and scar with surface electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters in individuals free of prior coronary heart disease in four different ethnicities. Materials and Methods This prospective cross-sectional study was approved by the institutional review boards, and all participants gave informed consent. A total of 1669 participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, or MESA, who were free of prior myocardial infarction underwent both ECG and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. In individuals without a late gadolinium enhancement-defined myocardial scar (n = 1131), T1 mapping was used to assess left ventricular (LV) interstitial diffuse fibrosis. The associations of LV diffuse fibrosis or myocardial scar with ECG parameters (QRS voltage, QRS duration, and corrected QT interval [QTc]) were evaluated by using multivariable regression analyses adjusted for demographic data, risk factors for scar, LV end-diastolic volume, and LV mass. Results The mean age of the 1669 participants was 67.4 years ± 8.7 (standard deviation); 49.8% were women. Lower postcontrast T1 time at 12 minutes was significantly associated with lower QRS Sokolow-Lyon voltage (β = 15.1 µV/10 msec, P = .004), lower QRS Cornell voltage (β = 9.2 µV/10 msec, P = .031), and shorter QRS duration (β = 0.16 msec/10 msec, P = .049). Greater extracellular volume (ECV) fraction was also significantly associated with lower QRS Sokolow-Lyon voltage (β = -35.2 µV/1% ECV increase, P < .001) and Cornell voltage (β = -23.7 µV/1% ECV increase, P < .001), independent of LV structural indexes. In contrast, the presence of LV scar (n = 106) was associated with longer QTc (β = 4.3 msec, P = .031). Conclusion In older adults without prior coronary heart disease, underlying greater LV diffuse fibrosis is associated with lower QRS voltage and shorter QRS duration at surface ECG, whereas clinically unrecognized myocardial scar is associated with a longer QT interval. © RSNA, 2016 Online supplemental material is available for this article.
