Diagnostic Accuracy of 3.0-T Magnetic Resonance T1 and T2 Mapping and T2-Weighted Dark-Blood Imaging for the Infarct-Related Coronary Artery in Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Patients with recent non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction commonly have heterogeneous characteristics that may be challenging to assess clinically. METHODS AND RESULTS:We prospectively studied the diagnostic accuracy of 2 novel (T1, T2 mapping) and 1 established (T2-weighted short tau inversion recovery [T2W-STIR]) magnetic resonance imaging methods for imaging the ischemic area at risk and myocardial salvage in 73 patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (mean age 57±10 years, 78% male) at 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging within 6.5±3.5 days of invasive management. The infarct-related territory was identified independently using a combination of angiographic, ECG, and clinical findings. The presence and extent of infarction was assessed with late gadolinium enhancement imaging (gadobutrol, 0.1 mmol/kg). The extent of acutely injured myocardium was independently assessed with native T1, T2, and T2W-STIR methods. The mean infarct size was 5.9±8.0% of left ventricular mass. The infarct zone T1 and T2 times were 1323±68 and 57±5 ms, respectively. The diagnostic accuracies of T1 and T2 mapping for identification of the infarct-related artery were similar (P=0.125), and both were superior to T2W-STIR (P<0.001). The extent of myocardial injury (percentage of left ventricular volume) estimated with T1 (15.8±10.6%) and T2 maps (16.0±11.8%) was similar (P=0.838) and moderately well correlated (r=0.82, P<0.001). Mean extent of acute injury estimated with T2W-STIR (7.8±11.6%) was lower than that estimated with T1 (P<0.001) or T2 maps (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS:In patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, T1 and T2 magnetic resonance imaging mapping have higher diagnostic performance than T2W-STIR for identifying the infarct-related artery. Compared with conventional STIR, T1 and T2 maps have superior value to inform diagnosis and revascularization planning in non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Myocardial recovery after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction is variable and the extent and severity of injury are difficult to predict. We sought to investigate the role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance T1 mapping in the determination of myocardial injury very early after treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS:STEMI patients underwent 3?T cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), within 3?h of primary percutaneous intervention (PPCI). T1 mapping determined the extent (area-at-risk as %left ventricle, AAR) and severity (average T1 values of AAR) of acute myocardial injury, and related these to late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and microvascular obstruction (MVO). The characteristics of myocardial injury within 3?h was compared with changes at 24-h to predict final infarct size. RESULTS:Forty patients were included in this study. Patients with average T1 values of AAR ?1400?ms within 3?h of PPCI had larger LGE at 24-h (33% ±14 vs. 18% ±10, P?=?0.003) and at 6-months (27% ±9 vs. 12% ±9; P?<?0.001), higher incidence and larger extent of MVO (85% vs. 40%, P?=?0.016) & [4.0 (0.5-9.5)% vs. 0 (0-3.0)%, P?=?0.025]. The average T1 value was an independent predictor of acute LGE (? 0.61, 95%CI 0.13 to 1.09; P?=?0.015), extent of MVO (? 0.22, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.41, P?=?0.028) and final infarct size (? 0.63, 95%CI 0.21 to 1.05; P?=?0.005). Receiver-operating-characteristic analysis showed that T1 value of AAR obtained within 3-h, but not at 24-h, predicted large infarct size (LGE >?9.5%) with 100% positive predictive value at the optimal cut-off of 1400?ms (area-under-the-curve, AUC 0.88, P?=?0.006). CONCLUSION:Hyper-acute T1 values of the AAR (within 3?h post PPCI, but not 24?h) predict a larger extent of MVO and infarct size at both 24?h and 6?months follow-up. Delayed CMR scanning for 24?h could not substitute the significant value of hyper-acute average T1 in determining infarct characteristics.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study sought to determine the incidence and prognostic significance of persistent iron in patients post-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).BackgroundThe clinical significance of persistent iron within the infarct core after STEMI complicated by acute myocardial hemorrhage is poorly understood.MethodsPatients who sustained an acute STEMI were enrolled in a cohort study (BHF MR-MI [Detection and Significance of Heart Injury in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction]). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging including T2* (observed time constant for the decay of transverse magnetization seen with gradient-echo sequences) mapping was performed at 2 days and 6 months post-STEMI. Myocardial hemorrhage or iron was defined as a hypointense infarct core with T2* signal <20 ms.ResultsA total of 203 patients (age 57 ± 11 years, n = 158 [78%] male) had evaluable T2* maps at 2 days and 6 months post-STEMI; 74 (36%) patients had myocardial hemorrhage at baseline, and 44 (59%) of these patients had persistent iron at 6 months. Clinical associates of persistent iron included heart rate (p = 0.009), the absence of a history of hypertension (p = 0.017), and infarct size (p = 0.028). The presence of persistent iron was associated with worsening left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume (regression coefficient: 21.10; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.92 to 31.27; p < 0.001) and worsening LV ejection fraction (regression coefficient: -6.47; 95% CI: -9.22 to -3.72; p < 0.001). Persistent iron was associated with the subsequent occurrence of all-cause death or heart failure (hazard ratio: 3.91; 95% CI: 1.37 to 11.14; p = 0.011) and major adverse cardiac events (hazard ratio: 3.24; 95% CI: 1.09 to 9.64; p = 0.035) (median follow-up duration 1,457 days [range 233 to 1,734 days]).ConclusionsPersistent iron at 6 months post-STEMI is associated with worse LV and longer-term health outcomes.
