Magnetic Resonance Myocardial Feature Tracking in Transfusion-Dependent Myelodysplastic Syndrome.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Myocardial deformation with echocardiography allows early detection of systolic dysfunction and is related to myocardial iron overload (MIO) determined by T2* in hereditary anemias under transfusion support. Our aim was to analyze the diagnostic and prognostic usefulness of magnetic resonance feature tracking (MR-FT) myocardial strain in low-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS) patients.

Methods

Prospective study in transfusion-dependent LR-MDS patients and healthy controls who underwent a cardiac MR-FT. We analyzed the relationships between strain MR-FT and iron overload parameters and its prognostic impact in cardiovascular events and/or death.

Results

Thirty-one patients and thirteen controls were included. MIO (T2* < 20 ms) was detected in 9.7% of patients. Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) by MR-FT was pathological (> -19.3%) in 32.3% of patients. Less negative strain values correlated with lower T2* (R = -0.37, p = 0.033) and native myocardial T1 (R = -0.39, p = 0.031) times. LV-GLS by MR-FT was significantly associated with higher incidence of the combined cardiovascular events and/or all-cause death (p = 0.047), with a cut-off value of -17.7% for predicting them (63% sensitivity and 81% specificity, area under the curve = 0.69). After adjusting analysis including demographic, biomarkers and imaging variables, a higher LV-GLS value by MR-FT remained as predictor of combined event in transfusion-dependent LR-MDS patients (hazard ratio, 0.4; confidence interval, 0.15-0.98; p = 0.045).

Conclusions

Longitudinal myocardial strain by MR-FT in LR-MDS patients is associated to MIO and correlates with adverse events in the follow-up, what could serve as a prognostic tool.
