Project description:The relationship of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and insulin resistance (one of its key pathophysiological mediators) with diastolic dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis is not well understood. This study aimed to evaluate the association of MetS with diastolic function and myocardial extracellular matrix (ECM) using cardiac MRI (CMRI) in a large community-based population. This cross-sectional analysis included 1,582 participants from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) with left ventricular ejection fraction ?50% and no history of cardiac events. Diastolic function was assessed using tagged CMRI parameters including end-diastolic strain rate (EDSR) and strain relaxation index (SRI). ECM was evaluated using extracellular volume (ECV) quantification. Participants' mean age was 67.4 ± 8.6 years, and 48.1% were males. MetS was present in 533 individuals (33.7%), and type 2 diabetes in 250 (15.8%). In the multivariable analyses, MetS (irrespective of the presence of type 2 diabetes) and higher insulin resistance were associated with impaired diastolic function (higher SRI and lower EDSR), independent of ECV. In conclusion, MetS, irrespective of the presence of type 2 diabetes, was independently associated with impaired diastole. These functional myocardial changes seem to result from intrinsic cardiomyocyte alterations, irrespective of the myocardial interstitium (including fibrosis).

Project description:PURPOSE: To develop a cardiac computed tomographic (CT) method with which to determine extracellular volume (ECV) fraction, with cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging as the reference standard. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Study participants provided written informed consent to participate in this institutional review board-approved study. ECV was measured in healthy subjects and patients with heart failure by using cardiac CT and cardiac MR imaging. Paired Student t test, linear regression analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis were used to determine the relationship between cardiac CT and MR imaging ECV values and clinical parameters. RESULTS: Twenty-four subjects were studied. There was good correlation between myocardial ECV measured at cardiac MR imaging and that measured at cardiac CT (r = 0.82, P < .001). As expected, ECV was higher in patients with heart failure than in healthy control subjects for both cardiac CT and cardiac MR imaging (P = .03, respectively). For both cardiac MR imaging and cardiac CT, ECV was positively associated with end diastolic and end systolic volume and inversely related to ejection fraction (P < .05 for all). Mean radiation dose was 1.98 mSv ± 0.16 (standard deviation) for each cardiac CT acquisition. CONCLUSION: ECV at cardiac CT and that at cardiac MR imaging showed good correlation, suggesting the potential for myocardial tissue characterization with cardiac CT.

Project description:PurposeTo establish normative data for myocardial T1, including extracellular volume (ECV) fraction, in healthy children.Materials and methodsIn this retrospective, single-center study, T1 mapping data were collected from 48 healthy pediatric patients (14 years ± 3 [standard deviation]; range, 9-18 years; 27 of 48 [56%] male) referred for cardiac screening 1.5-T MRI between 2014 and 2017. T1 relaxometry was performed using a 5(number of heartbeats [nHB])3 modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) sequence, where nHB was three to five heartbeats depending on the heart rate, and was repeated 15 minutes following the administration of 0.2 mmol per kilogram of body weight of gadobenate dimeglumine, with 19 patients receiving contrast material. T1 values were calculated using a curve-fitting algorithm on average region-of-interest signal and corrected for imperfect inversion pulse efficiency. Comparisons within patients were performed with paired Student t test, between groups with unpaired Student t test or Mann-Whitney U test, and linear regression was performed to examine for associations with other variables.ResultsAverage native T1 was 1008 msec ± 31, with a nonsignificant increase in females (1017 msec ± 27 vs 1001 msec ± 33, P = .066). Average ECV was 20.8% ± 2.4, with a nonsignificant increase in values in females (21.7% ± 1.9 vs 20.0% ± 2.6, P = .123). T1 and ECV values were increased in the septum versus the free wall.ConclusionNormative data are presented for myocardial native T1 and ECV using the MOLLI T1 mapping sequence at 1.5 T.Supplemental material is available for this article.© RSNA, 2020.

Project description:ObjectiveWe investigated the determinants and clinical correlations of MRI-detected brain volume loss (BVL) among patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis from the phase 3 trials of fingolimod: FREEDOMS, FREEDOMS II, and TRANSFORMS.MethodsPost hoc analyses were conducted in the intent-to-treat populations from each trial and in a combined dataset of 3,635 patients from the trials and their extensions. The relationship between brain volume changes and demographic, clinical, and MRI parameters was studied in pairwise correlations (Pearson) and in multiple regression models. The relative frequency of confirmed disability progression was evaluated in the combined dataset by strata of concurrent BVL at up to 4 years.ResultsIncreasing age, disease duration, T2 lesion volume, T1-hypointense lesion volume, and disability were associated with reduced brain volume (p < 0.001, all). The strongest individual baseline predictors of on-study BVL were T2 lesion volume, gadolinium-enhancing lesion count, and T1-hypointense lesion volume (p < 0.01, all). During each study, BVL correlated most strongly with cumulative gadolinium-enhancing lesion count, new/enlarged T2 lesion count (p < 0.001, both), and number of confirmed on-study relapses (p < 0.01). Over 4 years in the combined dataset (mean exposure to study drug, 2.4 years), confirmed disability progression was most frequent in patients with greatest BVL.ConclusionsRate of BVL in patients during the fingolimod trials correlated with disease severity at baseline and new disease activity on study, and was associated with worsening disability.

Project description:Myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECVF) is a surrogate imaging biomarker of diffuse myocardial fibrosis, a hallmark of pathologic ventricular remodeling. Low dose cardiac CT is emerging as a promising modality to detect diffuse interstitial myocardial fibrosis due to its fast acquisition and low radiation; however, the insufficient contrast in the low dose CT images poses great challenge to measure ECVF from the image.To deal with this difficulty, the authors present a complete ECVF measurement framework including a point-guided myocardial modeling, a deformable model-based myocardium segmentation, nonrigid registration of pre- and post-CT, and ECVF calculation.The proposed method was evaluated on 20 patients by two observers. Compared to the manually delineated reference segmentations, the accuracy of our segmentation in terms of true positive volume fraction (TPVF), false positive volume fraction (FPVF), and average surface distance (ASD), were 92.18% ± 3.52%, 0.31% ± 0.10%, 0.69 ± 0.14 mm, respectively. The interobserver variability measured by concordance correlation coefficient regarding TPVF, FPVF, and ASD were 0.95, 0.90, 0.94, respectively, demonstrating excellent agreement. Bland-Altman method showed 95% limits of agreement between ECVF at CT and ECVF at MR.The proposed framework demonstrates its efficiency, accuracy, and noninvasiveness in ECVF measurement and dramatically advances the ECVF at cardiac CT toward its clinical use.

Project description:PurposeTo assess the performance of an automated myocardial T2 and extracellular volume (ECV) quantification method using transfer learning of a fully convolutional neural network (CNN) pretrained to segment the myocardium on T1 mapping images.Materials and methodsA single CNN previously trained and tested using 11 550 manually segmented native T1-weighted images was used to segment the myocardium for automated myocardial T2 and ECV quantification. Reference measurements from 1525 manually processed T2 maps and 1525 ECV maps (from 305 patients) were used to evaluate the performance of the pretrained network. Correlation coefficient (R) and Bland-Altman analysis were used to assess agreement between automated and reference values on per-patient, per-slice, and per-segment analyses. Furthermore, transfer learning effectiveness in the CNN was evaluated by comparing its performance to four CNNs trained using manually segmented T2-weighted and postcontrast T1-weighted images and initialized using random-weights or weights of the pretrained CNN.ResultsT2 and ECV measurements using the pretrained CNN strongly correlated with reference values in per-patient (T2: R = 0.88, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.85, 0.91; ECV: R = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.89, 0.93), per-slice (T2: R = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.81, 0.85; ECV: R = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.82, 0.86), and per-segment (T2: R = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.74, 0.77; ECV: R = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.75, 0.77) analyses. In Bland-Altman analysis, the automatic and reference values were in good agreement in per-patient (T2: 0.3 msec ± 2.9; ECV: -0.3% ± 1.7), per-slice (T2: 0.1 msec ± 4.6; ECV: -0.3% ± 2.5), and per-segment (T2: 0.0 msec ± 6.5; ECV: -0.4% ± 3.5) analyses. The performance of the pretrained network was comparable to networks refined or trained from scratch using additional manually segmented images.ConclusionTransfer learning extends the utility of pretrained CNN-based automated native T1 mapping analysis to T2 and ECV mapping without compromising performance.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Myocardial fibrosis leads to impaired cardiac function and events. Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) assessed with an iodinated contrast agent and measured by cardiac CT may be a useful noninvasive marker of fibrosis. OBJECTIVE:The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a 3-dimensional (3D) ECV calculation toolkit (ECVTK) for ECV determination by cardiac CT. METHODS:Twenty-four subjects (10 systolic heart failure, age, 60 ± 17 years; 5 diastolic failure, age 56 ± 20 years; 9 matched healthy subjects, age 59 ± 7 years) were evaluated. Cardiac CT examinations were done on a 320-multidetector CT scanner before and after 130 mL of iopamidol (Isovue-370; Bracco Diagnostics, Plainsboro, NJ, USA) was administered. A calcium score type sequence was performed before and 7 minutes after contrast with single gantry rotation during 1 breath hold and single cardiac phase acquisition. ECV was calculated as (?HUmyocardium/?HUblood) × (1 - Hct) where Hct is the hematocrit, and ?HU is the change in Hounsfield unit attenuation = HUafter iodine - HUbefore iodine. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed to assess myocardial structure and function. RESULTS:Mean 3D ECV values were significantly higher in the subjects with systolic heart failure than in healthy subjects and subjects with diastolic heart failure (mean, 41% ± 6%, 33% ± 2%, and 35% ± 5%, respectively; P = 0.02). Interobserver and intraobserver agreements were excellent for myocardial, blood pool, and ECV (intraclass correlation coefficient, >0.90 for all). Higher 3D ECV by cardiac CT was associated with reduced systolic circumferential strain, greater end-diastolic and -systolic volumes, and lower ejection fraction (r = 0.70, r = 0.60, r = 0.73, and r = -0.68, respectively; all P < 0.001). CONCLUSION:3D ECV by cardiac CT can be performed with ECVTK. We demonstrated increased ECV in subjects with systolic heart failure compared with healthy subjects. Cardiac CT results also showed good correlation with important functional heart biomarkers, suggesting the potential for myocardial tissue characterization with the use of 3D ECV by cardiac CT. This trial is registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT01160471.

Project description:ObjectivesPosthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a severe complication of liver resection. We aimed to develop and validate a model based on extracellular volume (ECV) and liver volumetry derived from computed tomography (CT) for preoperative predicting PHLF in resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.MethodsA total of 393 resectable HCC patients from two hospitals were enrolled and underwent multiphasic contrast-enhanced CT before surgery. A total of 281 patients from our hospital were randomly divided into a training cohort (n = 181) and an internal validation cohort (n = 100), and 112 patients from another hospital formed the external validation cohort. CT-derived ECV was measured on nonenhanced and equilibrium phase images, and liver volumetry was measured on portal phase images. The model is composed of independent predictors of PHLF. The under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration curve were used to reflect the predictive performance and calibration of the model. Comparison of AUCs used the DeLong test.ResultsCT-derived ECV, measured future liver remnant (mFLR) ratio, and serum albumin were independent predictors for PHLF in resectable HCC patients. The AUC of the model was significantly higher than that of the ALBI score in the training cohort, internal validation cohort, and external validation cohort (all p < 0.001). The calibration curve of the model showed good consistency in the training cohort and the internal and external validation cohorts.ConclusionsThe novel model contributes to the preoperative prediction of PHLF in resectable HCC patients.Critical relevance statementThe novel model combined CT-derived extracellular volume, measured future liver remnant ratio, and serum albumin outperforms the albumin-bilirubin score for predicting posthepatectomy liver failure in patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma.Key points• CT-derived ECV correlated well with the fibrosis stage of the background liver. • CT-derived ECV and mFLR ratio were independent predictors for PHLF in HCC. • The AUC of the model was higher than the CT-derived ECV and mFLR ratio. • The model showed a superior predictive performance than that of the ALBI score.

Project description:BackgroundCardiac magnetic resonance techniques permit quantification of the myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV), representing a surrogate marker of reactive interstitial fibrosis, and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), representing replacement fibrosis or scar. ECV and LGE have been independently linked with heart failure (HF) events. In deriving ECV, coronary artery disease type LGE, but not non-coronary artery disease type LGE, has been consistently excluded. We examined the associations between LGE, global ECV derived from myocardial tissue segments free of any detectable scar, and subsequent HF events.MethodsMid short-axis T1 maps were divided into 6 cardiac segments, each classified as LGE absent or present. Global ECV was derived from only segments without LGE. ECV was considered elevated if >30%, the upper 95% bounds of a reference group without known cardiac disease (n=28). Patients were divided into 4 groups by presence of elevated ECV and of any LGE. Subsequent HF hospitalization and any death were ascertained. Their relationship with ECV was examined separately and as a composite with Cox proportional hazard models.ResultsOf 1604 serial patients with T1 maps, 1255 were eligible after exclusions and followed over a median 26.3 (interquartile range, 15.9-37.5) months. Patients with elevated ECV had increased risk for death (hazard ratio [HR] 2.45 [95% CI, 1.76-3.41]), HF hospitalization (HR, 2.45 [95% CI, 1.77-3.40]), and a combined end point of both outcomes (HR, 2.46 [95% CI, 1.94-3.14]). After adjustments for covariates including LGE, the relationship persisted for death (HR, 1.82 [95% CI, 1.28-2.59]), hospitalization (HR, 1.60 [95% CI, 1.12-2.27]), and combined end points (HR, 1.73 [95% CI, 1.34-2.24]).ConclusionsECV measures of diffuse myocardial fibrosis were associated with HF outcomes, despite exclusion of replacement fibrosis segments from their derivation and even among patients without any scar. ECV may have a synergistic role with LGE in HF risk assessment.

Project description:ObjectivesMRI-derived extracellular volume (ECV) allows characterization of myocardial changes before the onset of overt pathology, which may be caused by cancer therapy cardiotoxicity. Our purpose was to review studies exploring the role of MRI-derived ECV as an early cardiotoxicity biomarker to guide timely intervention.Materials and methodsIn April 2022, we performed a systematic search on EMBASE and PubMed for articles on MRI-derived ECV as a biomarker of cancer therapy cardiotoxicity. Two blinded researchers screened the retrieved articles, including those reporting ECV values at least 3 months from cardiotoxic treatment. Data extraction was performed for each article, including clinical and technical data, and ECV values. Pooled ECV was calculated using the random effects model and compared among different treatment regimens and among those who did or did not experience overt cardiac dysfunction. Meta-regression analyses were conducted to appraise which clinical or technical variables yielded a significant impact on ECV.ResultsOverall, 19 studies were included. Study populations ranged from 9 to 236 patients, for a total of 1123 individuals, with an average age ranging from 12.5 to 74 years. Most studies included patients with breast or esophageal cancer, treated with anthracyclines and chest radiotherapy. Pooled ECV was 28.44% (95% confidence interval, CI, 26.85-30.03%) among subjects who had undergone cardiotoxic cancer therapy, versus 25.23% (95%CI 23.31-27.14%) among those who had not (p = .003).ConclusionA higher ECV in patients who underwent cardiotoxic treatment could imply subclinical changes in the myocardium, present even before overt cardiac pathology is detectable.Clinical relevance statementThe ability to detect subclinical changes in the myocardium displayed by ECV suggests its use as an early biomarker of cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity.Key points• Cardiotoxicity is a common adverse effect of cancer therapy; therefore, its prompt detection could improve patient outcomes. • Pooled MRI-derived myocardial extracellular volume was higher in patients who underwent cardiotoxic cancer therapy than in those who did not (28.44% versus 25.23%, p = .003). • MRI-derived myocardial extracellular volume represents a potential early biomarker of cancer therapy cardiotoxicity.
