1 Cardiac MR Cardiac CT A selection of recent articles JN Dacher 1, A Manrique 2 and J Caudron 1 1 Rouen University Hospital - Department of Radiology 2 Caen University Hospital - Cyceron Imaging Centre France Cardio CT MR - Paris - June 2010

2 Delayed enhancement at acute phase of MI White, but not completely dead! Ibrahim T et al. Radiology 2010;254:88-97

3 Acute myocardial infarction: cardiac MR shows a decrease in delayed enhancement during the 1st week after reperfusion 17 patients with successfully reperfused AMI were longitudinally followed-up Correlation with myocardial perfusion SPECT defect: r = 0.84 Ibrahim T et al. Radiology 2010;254:88-97

4 Acute myocardial infarction: cardiac MR shows a decrease in delayed enhancement during the 1st week after reperfusion LGE cardiac MR at 1, 7, 35, and 180 days after reperfusion P <.001 vs. all 18.3% 12.9% 11.3% 11.6% Ibrahim T et al. Radiology 2010;254:88-97

5 Changes of LGE extent in endocardium (red) and epicardium (orange) after AMI Ibrahim T et al. Radiology 2010;254:88-97 * P <.01 for comparison of day 1 and follow-up # P =.03 for comparison of days 7 and 35

6 Inverse relationship (P <.0001) of regional wall thickening on day 180 and transmural enhancement extent on day 7 Ibrahim T et al. Radiology 2010;254:88-97

7 Acute myocardial infarction: cardiac MR shows a decrease in delayed enhancement during the 1st week after reperfusion Conclusion In patients with reperfused AMI, the size of delayed gadolinium enhancement at CE cardiac MR imaging significantly diminished during the first week after infarction. Timing of CE cardiac MR imaging is crucial for accurate measurement ent of myocardial infarct size early after AMI. Ibrahim T et al. Radiology 2010;254:88-97

8 Risk of MACE after MI: Persistent Microvascular Obstruction Six or more than 6 involved segments Cochet. Eur Radiol Sep;19(9): Kelle S. J Am Coll Cardiol Nov 3;54(19):1770-7

9 Prognostic impact of Persistent Microvascular Obstruction (PMO) as assessed by contrast-enhanced CMR in reperfused AMI Methods: 184 patients within the week after successfully reperfused first AMI First-pass MR: extent of MO Late Gd-enhanced images: PMO and infarct size (IS) MACE collected at 1-year 1 follow-up MO and PMO were found in 127 (69%) and 87 (47%) pts MO (first pass) PMO (LGE) Cochet. Eur Radiol Sep;19(9):

10 Prognostic impact of persistent microvascular obstruction as assessed by contrast-enhanced CMR in reperfused AMI Predictors of MACE: Univariate analysis High GRACE risk score: OR: 3.6 [ ], p < Infarct size > 10%: OR 2.7 [ ], p = LVEF < 40%: OR 2.4 [ ], p = presence of MO: OR 3.1 [ ], p = presence of PMO: OR 10 [ ], p < Multivariate analysis Model 1: including MO Model 2: including PMO presence of MO: OR 2.5 [ ], p = presence of PMO: OR 8.7 [ ], p < associated with GRACE score Cochet.

12 Prognostic value of myocardial infarct size and contractile reserve rve using magnetic resonance imaging Methods 177 pts with CAD and scar on LGE MRI LV function at rest and low-dose dobutamine (10 µg/kg bodyweight per minute for 3 min) Results 11 (6.2%) events at follow-up (20.3 ± 13.3 months): 8 (4.4%) cardiac death 2 (1.1%) non cardiac death 1 (0.5%) MI Infarct size = strongest predictor of events for mortality low risk (LGE < 6 sgts, n = 79) high risk patients (LGE 6 sgts, n = 98) Kelle S. J Am Coll Cardiol Nov 3;54(19):

13 Prognostic value of myocardial infarct size and contractile reserve rve using magnetic resonance imaging Incremental prognostic value of LDD in patients with large MI ( 6 sgts) Results In the subgroup of high risk patients: Transmurality of infarct was not a predictor of events Presence of contractile reserve (n = 63) was associated with a higher h number of events (12.7%) compared with no change (6.7%; n = 15; p = 0.008) 08) Kelle S.
