Normal right and left ventricular volumes prospectively obtained from cardiovascular magnetic resonance in awake, healthy, 0- 12 year old children.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Pediatric z scores are necessary to describe size and structure of the heart in growing children, however, development of an accurate z score calculator requires robust normal datasets, which are difficult to obtain with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in children. Motion-corrected (MOCO) cines from re-binned, reconstructed real-time cine offer a free-breathing, rapid acquisition resulting in cines with high spatial and temporal resolution. In combination with child-friendly positioning and entertainment, MOCO cine technique allows for rapid cine volumetry in patients of all ages without sedation. Thus, our aim was to prospectively enroll normal infants and children birth-12?years for creation and validation of a z score calculator describing normal right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) size. METHODS:With IRB approval and consent/assent, 149 normal children successfully underwent a brief noncontrast CMR on a 1.5?T scanner including MOCO cines in the short axis, and RV and LV volumes were measured. 20% of scans were re-measured for interobserver variability analyses. A general linear modeling (GLM) framework was employed to identify and properly represent the relationship between CMR-based assessments and anthropometric data. Scatter plots of model fit and Akaike's information criteria (AIC) results were used to guide the choice among alternative models. RESULTS:A total of 149 subjects aged 22?days-12?years (average 5.1?±?3.6?years), with body surface area (BSA) range 0.21-1.63?m2 (average 0.8?±?0.35?m2) were scanned. All ICC values were?>?95%, reflecting excellent agreement between raters. The model that provided the best fit of volume measure to the data included BSA with higher order effects and gender as independent variables. Compared with earlier z score models, there is important additional growth inflection in early toddlerhood with similar z score prediction in later childhood. CONCLUSIONS:Free-breathing, MOCO cines allow for accurate, reliable RV and LV volumetry in a wide range of infants and children while awake. Equations predicting fit between LV and RV normal values and BSA are reported herein for purposes of creating z scores. TRIAL REGISTRATION:clinicaltrials.gov NCT02892136, Registered 7/21/2016.

Project description:Higher left ventricular volume is associated with death in patients with ESRD. This work investigated the effects of frequent hemodialysis on ventricular volumes and left ventricular remodeling.The Frequent Hemodialysis Network daily trial randomized 245 patients to 12 months of six times per week versus three times per week in-center hemodialysis; the Frequent Hemodialysis Network nocturnal trial randomized 87 patients to 12 months of six times per week nocturnal hemodialysis versus three times per week predominantly home-based hemodialysis. Left and right ventricular end systolic and diastolic volumes, left ventricular mass, and ejection fraction at baseline and end of the study were ascertained by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The ratio of left ventricular mass/left ventricular end diastolic volume was used as a surrogate marker of left ventricular remodeling. In each trial, the effect of frequent dialysis on left or right ventricular end diastolic volume was tested between predefined subgroups.In the daily trial, frequent hemodialysis resulted in significant reductions in left ventricular end diastolic volume (-11.0% [95% confidence interval, -16.1% to -5.5%]), left ventricular end systolic volume (-14.8% [-22.7% to -6.2%]), right ventricular end diastolic volume (-11.6% [-19.0% to -3.6%]), and a trend for right ventricular end systolic volume (-11.3% [-21.4% to 0.1%]) compared with conventional therapy. The magnitude of reduction in left and right ventricular end diastolic volumes with frequent hemodialysis was accentuated among patients with residual urine output<100 ml/d (P value [interaction]=0.02). In the nocturnal trial, there were no significant changes in left or right ventricular volumes. The frequent dialysis interventions had no substantial effect on the ratio of left ventricular mass/left ventricular end diastolic volume in either trial.Frequent in-center hemodialysis reduces left and right ventricular end systolic and diastolic ventricular volumes as well as left ventricular mass, but it does not affect left ventricular remodeling.

Project description:BackgroundReal-time cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) assessment of ventricular volumes and function enables data acquisition during free-breathing. The requirement for high spatiotemporal resolution in children necessitates the use of highly accelerated imaging techniques.MethodsA novel real-time balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) spiral sequence reconstructed using Compressed Sensing (CS) was prospectively validated against the breath-hold clinical standard for assessment of ventricular volumes in 60 children with congenital heart disease. Qualitative image scoring, quantitative image quality, as well as evaluation of biventricular volumes was performed. Standard BH and real-time measures were compared using the paired t-test and agreement for volumetric measures were evaluated using Bland Altman analysis.ResultsAcquisition time for the entire short axis stack (~?13 slices) using the spiral real-time technique was ~?20 s, compared to ~?348 s for the standard breath hold technique. Qualitative scores reflected more residual aliasing artefact (p?<?0.001) and lower edge definition (p?<?0.001) in spiral real-time images than standard breath hold images, with lower quantitative edge sharpness and estimates of image contrast (p?<?0.001). There was a small but statistically significant (p?<?0.05) overestimation of left ventricular (LV) end-systolic volume (1.0?±?3.5 mL), and underestimation of LV end-diastolic volume (-?1.7?±?4.6 mL), LV stroke volume (-?2.6?±?4.8 mL) and LV ejection fraction (-?1.5?±?3.0%) using the real-time technique. We also observed a small underestimation of right ventricular stroke volume (-?1.8?±?4.9 mL) and ejection fraction (-?1.4?±?3.7%) using the real-time imaging technique. No difference in inter-observer or intra-observer variability were observed between the BH and real-time sequences.ConclusionsReal-time bSSFP imaging using spiral trajectories combined with a compressed sensing reconstruction showed good agreement for quantification of biventricular metrics in children with heart disease, despite slightly lower image quality. This technique holds the potential for free breathing data acquisition, with significantly shorter scan times in children.

Project description:The immediate effect of aortic valve replacement (AVR) for aortic stenosis on perioperative myocardial function is unclear. Left ventricular (LV) function may be impaired by cardioplegia-induced myocardial arrest and ischemia-reperfusion injury, especially in patients with LV hypertrophy. Alternatively, LV function may improve when afterload is reduced after AVR. The right ventricle (RV), however, experiences cardioplegic arrest without benefiting from improved loading conditions. Which of these effects on myocardial function dominate in patients undergoing AVR for aortic stenosis has not been thoroughly explored. Our primary objective is thus to characterize the effect of intraoperative events on LV function during AVR using echocardiographic measures of myocardial deformation. Second, we evaluated RV function.In this supplementary analysis of 100 patients enrolled in a clinical trial (NCT01187329), 97 patients underwent AVR for aortic stenosis. Of these patients, 95 had a standardized intraoperative transesophageal echocardiographic examination of systolic and diastolic function performed before surgical incision and repeated after chest closure. Echocardiographic images were analyzed off-line for global longitudinal myocardial strain and strain rate using 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography. Myocardial deformation assessed at the beginning of surgery was compared with the end of surgery using paired t tests corrected for multiple comparisons.LV volumes and arterial blood pressure decreased, and heart rate increased at the end of surgery. Echocardiographic images were acceptable for analysis in 72 patients for LV strain, 67 for LV strain rate, and 54 for RV strain and strain rate. In 72 patients with LV strain images, 9 patients required epinephrine, 22 required norepinephrine, and 2 required both at the end of surgery. LV strain did not change at the end of surgery compared with the beginning of surgery (difference: 0.7 [97.6% confidence interval, -0.2 to 1.5]%; P = 0.07), whereas LV systolic strain rate improved (became more negative) (-0.3 [-0.4 to -0.2] s; P < 0.001). In contrast, RV systolic strain worsened (became less negative) at the end of surgery (difference: 4.6 [3.1 to 6.0]%; P < 0.001) although RV systolic strain rate was unchanged (0.0 [97.6% confidence interval, -0.1 to 0.1]; P = 0.83).LV function improved after replacement of a stenotic aortic valve demonstrated by improved longitudinal strain rate. In contrast, RV function, assessed by longitudinal strain, was reduced.
