Inverse association of MRI-derived native myocardial T1 and perfusion reserve index in women with evidence of ischemia and no obstructive CAD: A pilot study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:It has recently been shown that magnetic resonance (MR) "native T1" mapping is capable of characterizing abnormal microcirculation in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). In studies involving women with signs and symptoms of ischemia and no obstructive CAD (INOCA), however, the potential role of native T1 as an imaging marker and its association with indices of diastolic function or vasodilator-induced myocardial ischemia have not been explored. We investigated whether native T1 in INOCA is associated with reduced myocardial perfusion reserve index (MPRI) or with diastolic dysfunction. METHODS:Twenty-two female patients with INOCA and twelve female reference controls with matching age and body-mass index were studied. The patients had evidence of vasodilator-induced ischemia without obstructive CAD or any prior infarction. All 34 subjects underwent stress/rest MR including native T1 mapping (MOLLI 5(3)3) at 1.5-Tesla. RESULTS:Compared with controls, patients had similar morphology/function. As expected, MPRI was significantly reduced in patients compared to controls (1.78?±?0.39 vs. 2.49?±?0.41, p?

Project description:BackgroundCardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) derived myocardial perfusion reserve index (MPRI) has recently been shown to detect coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in women with signs and symptoms of ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of this study was to determine the inter-scan reproducibility of MPRI in this patient group in order to assess its diagnostic robustness in serial scans and assess its utility as a marker of potential therapies for CMD.MethodsRest/stress perfusion CMR was performed at 1.5T using a standardized protocol in 17 women with signs and symptoms of ischemia and no obstructive CAD on two separate days (within 90 days of each other). The same pharmacological stress agent (adenosine/regadenoson) was used for both scans. MPRI was calculated from time-intensity curves of the whole myocardium and blood pool at stress and rest. One experienced observer, blinded to clinical data, performed all measurements. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC), coefficient of variation (CoV), and Bland-Altman plots were determined.ResultsMean age was 53±10 years old and BMI 28±7 kg/m2; 47% had hypertension, 4% diabetes, 9% hyperlipidemia and 10% family history of CAD. Mean MPRI for the 17 women was higher for scan 2 compared to scan 1 (1.98±0.3 vs. 1.65±0.78, respectively, p<0.001); and this relationship persisted even when corrected for resting rate pressure product (RPP) (2.42±0.81 vs. 1.97±0.92, respectively, 0.002), The mean bias for MPRI between sequential scans was 0.34 (95% CI: 0.18 to 0.49, limits of agreement: -0.31, 0.98 and when corrected for resting RPP it was 0.45 (95% CI: 0.21 to 0.68, limits of agreement: -0.52, 1.41), ICC and CoV also indicated modest inter-scan reproducibility (ICC 0.57; CoV 20.3%), but both measures were comparable to values seen in prior studies in CAD populations and healthy volunteers.ConclusionInter-scan reproducibility of CMRI-derived MPRI in women with suspected CMD is modest, with relatively wide limits of agreement. This variability is similar to that seen in other populations, suggesting that some caution must be exercised when using absolute MPRI cut-offs in isolation for the diagnosis of CMD or repeated measures of MPRI to track response to therapy. Additional work is ongoing to improve reproducibility from both biological and technological standpoints.

Project description:IntroductionDue to hypoxic vasoconstriction, perfusion is interesting in the lungs. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) perfusion imaging based on Dynamic Contrast Enhancement (DCE) has been demonstrated in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) using visual scores, and quantification methods were recently developed further. Inter-patient correlations of echo time-dependent observed T1 [T1(TE)] have been shown with perfusion scores, pulmonary function testing, and quantitative computed tomography. Here, we examined T1(TE) quantification and quantitative perfusion MRI together and investigated both inter-patient and local correlations between T1(TE) and quantitative perfusion.Methods22 patients (age 68.0 ± 6.2) with COPD were examined using morphological MRI, inversion recovery multi-echo 2D ultra-short TE (UTE) in 1-2 slices for T1(TE) mapping, and 4D Time-resolved angiography With Stochastic Trajectories (TWIST) for DCE. T1(TE) maps were calculated from 2D UTE at five TEs from 70 to 2,300 μs. Pulmonary Blood Flow (PBF) and perfusion defect (QDP) maps were produced from DCE measurements. Lungs were automatically segmented on UTE images and morphological MRI and these segmentations registered to DCE images. DCE images were separately registered to UTE in corresponding slices and divided into corresponding subdivisions. Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated for inter-patient correlations using the entire segmented slices and for local correlations separately using registered images and subdivisions for each TE. Median T1(TE) in normal and defect areas according to QDP maps were compared.ResultsInter-patient correlations were strongest on average at TE2 = 500 μs, reaching up to |ρ| = 0.64 for T1 with PBF and |ρ| = 0.76 with QDP. Generally, local correlations of T1 with PBF were weaker at TE2 than at TE1 or TE3 and with maximum values of |ρ| = 0.66 (from registration) and |ρ| = 0.69 (from subdivision). In 18 patients, T1 was shorter in defect areas than in normal areas, with the relative difference smallest at TE2.DiscussionThe inter-patient correlations of T1 with PBF and QDP found show similar strength and TE-dependence as those previously reported for visual perfusion scores and quantitative computed tomography. The local correlations and median T1 suggest that not only base T1 but also the TE-dependence of observed T1 in normal areas is closer to that found previously in healthy volunteers than in defect areas.

Project description:BackgroundOur goal is to investigate the use of the oxygen reserve index (ORi) to detect hypoxemia and its relation with parameters such as; peripheral oxygen saturation, perfusion index (PI), and pleth variability index (PVI) during one-lung ventilation (OLV).MethodsFifty patients undergoing general anesthesia and OLV for elective thoracic surgeries were enrolled in an observational cohort study in a tertiary care teaching hospital. All patients required OLV after a left-sided double-lumen tube insertion during intubation. The definition of hypoxemia during OLV is a peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) value of less than 95%, while the inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) is higher than 50% on a pulse oximetry device. ORi, pulse oximetry, PI, and PVI values were measured continuously. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, likelihood ratios, and accuracy were calculated for ORi values equal to zero in different time points during surgery to predict hypoxemia. At Clinicaltrials.gov registry, the Registration ID is NCT05050552.ResultsHypoxemia was observed in 19 patients (38%). The accuracy for predicting hypoxemia during anesthesia induction at ORi value equals zero at 5 min after intubation in the supine position (DS5) showed a sensitivity of 92.3% (95% CI 84.9-99.6), specificity of 81.1% (95% CI 70.2-91.9), and an accuracy of 84.0% (95% CI 73.8-94.2). For predicting hypoxemia, ORi equals zero show good sensitivity, specificity, and statistical accuracy values for time points of DS5 until OLV30 where the sensitivity of 43.8%, specificity of 64%, and an accuracy of 56.1% were recorded. ORi and SpO2 correlation was found at DS5, 5 min after lateral position with two-lung ventilation (DL5) and at 10 min after OLV (OLV10) (p = 0.044, p = 0.039, p = 0.011, respectively). Time-dependent correlations also showed that; at a time point of DS5, ORi has a significant negative correlation with PI whereas, no correlations with PVI were noted.ConclusionsDuring the use of OLV for thoracic surgeries, from 5 min after intubation (DS5) up to 30 min after the start of OLV, ORi provides valuable information in predicting hypoxemia defined as SpO2 less than 95% on pulse oximeter at FiO2 higher than 50%.

Project description:Purpose of reviewAccumulating evidence exists for the value of coronary physiology for clinical decision-making in ischemic heart disease (IHD). The most frequently used pressure-derived index to assess stenosis severity, the fractional flow reserve (FFR), has long been considered the gold standard for this purpose, despite the fact that the FFR assesses solely epicardial stenosis severity and aims to estimate coronary flow impairment in the coronary circulation. The coronary flow reserve (CFR) directly assesses coronary blood flow in the coronary circulation, including both the epicardial coronary artery and the coronary microvasculature, but is nowadays less established than FFR. It is now recognized that both tools may provide insight into the pathophysiological substrate of ischemic heart disease, and that particularly combined FFR and CFR measurements provide a comprehensive insight into the multilevel involvement of IHD. This review discusses the diagnostic and prognostic characteristics, as well as future implications of combined assessment of FFR and CFR pressure and flow measurements as parameters for inducible ischemia.Recent findingsFFR and CFR disagree in up to 40% of all cases, giving rise to fundamental questions regarding the role of FFR in contemporary ischemic heart disease management, and implying a renewed approach in clinical management of these patients using combined coronary pressure and flow measurement to allow appropriate identification of patients at risk for cardiovascular events. This review emphasizes the value of comprehensive coronary physiology measurements in assessing the pathophysiological substrate of IHD, and the importance of acknowledging the broad spectrum of epicardial and microcirculatory involvement in IHD. Increasing interest and large clinical trials are expected to further strengthen the potential of advanced coronary physiology in interventional cardiology, consequently inducing reconsideration of current clinical guidelines.
