Immune Correlates of Diffuse Myocardial Fibrosis and Diastolic Dysfunction Among Aging Women With Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

ABSTRACT: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) imparts increased heart failure risk to women. Among women with HIV (WHIV), immune pathways relating to heart failure precursors may intimate targets for heart failure prevention strategies. Twenty asymptomatic, antiretroviral-treated WHIV and 14 non-HIV-infected women matched on age and body mass index underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and immune phenotyping. WHIV (vs non-HIV-infected women) exhibited increased myocardial fibrosis (extracellular volume fraction, 0.34 ± 0.06 vs 0.29 ± 0.04; P = .002), reduced diastolic function (diastolic strain rate, 1.10 ± 0.23 s-1 vs 1.39 ± 0.27 s-1; P = .003), and heightened systemic monocyte activation. Among WHIV, soluble CD163 levels correlated with myocardial fibrosis (r = 0.53; P = .02), while circulating inflammatory CD14+CD16+ monocyte CCR2 expression related directly to myocardial fibrosis (r = 0.48; P = .04) and inversely to diastolic function (r = -0.49; P = .03). Clinical Trials Registration. NCT02874703.

Project description:ObjectivesCurrent guidelines highlight important therapy implications of cardiac fibrosis in patients with Fabry disease (FD). However, association between morphological and functional impairments with cardiac fibrosis in hereditary cardiomyopathies remains elusive. We investigated the association between echocardiography-determined cardiac dysfunction and cardiac MRI (cMRI)-detected myocardial fibrosis (late gadolinium enhancement, LE) in patients with FD with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (≥50%).Methods146 patients with FD (aged 39±14 years, 57 men) were analysed, all receiving echocardiography and cMRI within a 1 week interval. Longitudinal systolic strain (LS_sys), strain rate (LSr_sys) and diastolic strain rate (LSr_E/LSr_A) were assessed using speckle-tracking imaging. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to identify the diagnostic performance of various markers for LE.ResultsLE was detected in 57 (39%) patients with FD. LV wall thickness, left atrial volume, septal E/e', diastolic dysfunction grade, global LS_sys and E/LSr_E, mid-lateral LS_sys and LSr_E, as well as N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide were all associated with LE independent of age, sex, body mass index, New York Heart Association functional class and kidney function. In ROC curve analysis, septal E/e' performed best (area under the curve=0.86, 95% CI=0.79 to 0.92). Septal E/e'>14.8 was strongly associated with LE (specificity=97.8% and sensitivity=49.1%). In 9% of patients, localised LE was present even though no other cardiac or kidney abnormalities were detected.ConclusionsEchocardiography-derived diastolic dysfunction is closely linked to LE in FD. Septal E/e' ratio is the best echocardiographic marker suggestive of LE. Diastolic dysfunction is not a prerequisite for LE in FD, since LE can be detected in the absence of measurable cardiac functional impairments.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov Identifier (NCT03362164).

Project description:AimsDiastolic dysfunction is common in geriatric heart failure. A reliable parameter to predict myocardium stiffness and relaxation under similar end-diastolic pressure is being developed. We propose a material and mathematical model for calculating myocardium stiffness based on the concept of linear correlation between [Formula: see text] and wedge pressure.Methods and resultsWe enrolled 919 patients (male: [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]). Compared with the younger population of controls (mean age: [Formula: see text] years; [Formula: see text]; male: [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]), the elderly (mean age: [Formula: see text]; [Formula: see text]; male: [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]) had a greater prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease (all [Formula: see text]). We collected their M-mode and 2-D echocardiographic volumetric parameters, intraventricular filling pressure, and speckle tracking images to establish a mathematical model. The feasibility of this model was validated. The average early diastolic velocity of the mitral annulus assessed using tissue Doppler imaging was significantly attenuated in the elderly ([Formula: see text]: [Formula: see text] vs. [Formula: see text]; [Formula: see text]) and corresponded to the higher estimated wedge ([Formula: see text]) pressure ([Formula: see text] vs. [Formula: see text]; [Formula: see text]) in that cohort. E (Young's modulus) was calculated to describe the tensile elasticity of the myocardium. With the same intraventricular filling pressure, E was significantly higher in the elderly, especially those with [Formula: see text] values [Formula: see text]. Compared with diastolic dysfunction parameters, E also presented sentinel characteristics more sensitive for detecting early myocardial relaxation impairment, which indicates stiffer myocardium in aging hearts.ConclusionOur material and geometric mathematical model successfully described the stiffer myocardium in aging hearts with higher intraventricular pressure. Additional studies that compare individual differences, especially in health status, are needed to validate its application for detecting diastolic heart failure.
