Positron emission tomography (15O-water, 11C-acetate, 11C-HED) risk markers and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT: Background:The objectives of the study were to describe positron emission tomography (PET) parameters, using the tracers 15O-water at rest/stress, 11C-acetate, and 11C-HED, with regard to nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). PET offers quantitative assessment of pathophysiology throughout the left ventricular segments, including the endocardium/epicardium. The potential use PET in risk stratification remains to be elucidated. NSVT provides a marker for sudden cardiac death. Methods:Patients with a validated diagnosis of HCM who had an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator were interrogated at 12?months and independently of PET-examinations. Results:In total, 25 patients (mean age 56.8?±?12.9?years, 76% males) were included and 10 reported NSVT. Mean myocardial blood flow (MBF) at rest was 0.91?ml/g/min and decreased at stress, 1.59?ml/g/min. The mean gradient (endocardium/epicardium quotient) at rest was 1.14?±?0.09, while inverse at stress (mean 0.92?±?0.16). Notably, MBF gradient at stress was significantly lower in patients with NSVT (p?=?0.022) and borderline at rest (p?=?0.059) while global MBF at rest and stress were not. Mean myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) was 0.088?ml/g/min (higher in NSVT, p?=?0.023) and myocardial external efficiency 18.5%. Using 11C-HED, the mean retention index was 0.11?min-1 and a higher volume of distribution (p?=?0.089) or transmural gradient of clearance rate (p?=?0.061) or lower clearance rate (p?=?0.052) showed a tendency of association of NSVT. Conclusions:The endocardium/epicardium MBF gradient at stress is significantly lower in HCM patients with NSVT. This provides a novel approach to further refine risk stratification of sudden cardiac death.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate whether MP [11C]Acetate PET-MRI enables an accurate differentiation of benign and malignant prostate tumors as well as local and distant staging.Materials and methodsFifty-six consecutive patients fulfilling the following criteria were included in this IRB-approved prospective study: elevated PSA levels or suspicious findings at digital rectal examination or TRUS; and histopathological verification. All patients underwent MP [11C]Acetate PET-MRI of the prostate performed on separate scanners with PET/CT using [11C]Acetate and 3T MP MR imaging. Appropriate statistical tests were used to determine diagnostic accuracy, local and distant staging.ResultsMP imaging with two MRI parameters (T2w and DWI) achieved the highest sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of 95%, 68.8%, and 88%, with an AUC of 0.82 for primary PCa detection. Neither assessments with a single parameter (AUC, 0.54-0.79), nor different combinations with up to five parameters (AUC, 0.67-0.79) achieved equally good results. MP [11C]Acetate PET-MRI improved local staging with a sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy of 100%, 96%, and 97% compared to MRI alone with 72.2%, 100%, and 95.5%. MP [11C]Acetate PET-MRI correctly detected osseous and liver metastases in five patients.ConclusionsMP [11C]Acetate PET-MRI merges morphologic with functional information, and allows insights into tumor biology. MP [11C]Acetate PET-MRI with two MRI-derived parameters (T2 and DWI) yields the highest diagnostic accuracy. The addition of more parameters does not improve diagnostic accuracy of primary PCa detection. MP [11C]Acetate PET-MRI facilitates improved local and distant staging, providing "one-stop" staging in patients with primary PCa, and therefore has the potential to improve therapy.Patient summaryIn this report we investigated MP [11C]Acetate PET-MRI for detection, local and distant staging of prostate cancer. We demonstrate that MP [11C]Acetate PET-MRI with two MRI-derived parameters (T2 and DWI) achieves the best diagnostic accuracy for primary prostate cancer detection and that MP [11C]Acetate PET-MRI enables an improved local and distant staging.
