    (2015) UENISHI, Eliza K.; CALDAS, Marcia A.; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.; ABDUCH, Maria C. D.; SBANO, Joao C. N.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; MATHIAS JR., Wilson
    Background: Diagnosis of cardiac masses is still challenging by echocardiography and distinguishing tumors from thrombi has important therapeutical implications. We sought to determine the diagnostic value of real-time perfusion echocardiography (RTPE) for cardiac masses characterization. Methods: We prospectively studied 86 patients, 23 with malignant tumors (MT), 26 with benign tumors (BT), 33 with thrombi and 6 with pseudotumors who underwent RTPE. Mass perfusion was analyzed qualitatively and blood flow volume (A), blood flow velocity (beta), and microvascular blood flow (A x beta) were determined by quantitative RTPE. Results: Logistic regression models showed that the probability of having a tumor increased by 15.8 times with a peripheral qualitative perfusion pattern, and 34.5 times with a central perfusion pattern, in comparison with the absence of perfusion. Using quantitative RTPE analysis, thrombi group had parameters of blood flow lower than tumor group. A values for thrombi, MT, and BT were 0.1 dB (0.01-0.22), 2.78 dB (1-7) and 2.58 dB (1.44-5), respectively; p < 0.05, while A x beta values were 0.0 dB/s(-1) (0.01-0.14), 2.00 dB/s(-1) (1-6), and 1.18 dB/s(-1) (0.52-3), respectively; p < 0.05. At peak dipyridamole stress, MT had greater microvascular blood volume than BT [A = 4.18 dB (2.14-7.93) versus A = 2.04 dB (1.09-3.55); p < 0.05], but no difference in blood flow [Ax beta = 2.46 dB/s(-1) (1.42-4.59) versus Ax beta = 1.55 dB/s [1] (0.51-4.08); p=NS]. An A value >3.28 dB at peak dipyridamole stress predicted MT (AUC = 0.75) and conferred 5.8-times higher chance of being MT rather than BT. Conclusion: RTPE demonstrated that cardiac tumors have greater microvascular blood volume and regional blood flow when compared with thrombi. Dipyridamole stress was useful in differentiating MT from BT.

    Prognostic Value of Coronary and Microvascular Flow Reserve in Patients with Nonischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
    (2013) LIMA, Marta F.; MATHIAS JR., Wilson; SBANO, Joao C. N.; CRUZ, Victoria Yezinia de la; ABDUCH, Maria Cristina; LIMA, Marcio S. M.; BOCCHI, Edmar A.; HAJJAR, Ludhmila A.; RAMIRES, Jose A. F.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.
    Background: Coronary and microvascular blood flow reserve have been established as important predictors of prognosis in patients with cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to assess the value of coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) and real-time myocardial perfusion echocardiography (RTMPE) for predicting events in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Methods: One hundred ninety-five patients (mean age 54 +/- 12 years; 66% men) with dilated cardiomyopathy (left ventricular ejection fraction < 35% and no obstructive coronary disease on invasive angiography or multi-detector computed tomography) who underwent dipyridamole stress (0.84 mg/kg over 10 min) RTMPE were prospectively studied. CFVR was calculated as the ratio of hyperemic to baseline peak diastolic velocities in the distal left anterior coronary artery. The replenishment velocity (beta), plateau of acoustic intensity (A(N)), and myocardial blood flow reserve were obtained from RTMPE. Results: Mean CFVR was 2.07 +/- 0.52, mean A(N) reserve was 1.05 +/- 0.09, mean beta reserve was 2.05 +/- 0.39, and mean myocardial blood flow reserve (A(N) x beta) was 2.15 +/- 0.48. During a median follow-up period of 29 months, 45 patients had events (43 deaths and two urgent transplantations). Independent predictors of events were left atrial diameter (relative risk, 1.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-1.26; P < .001) and beta reserve <= 2.0 (relative risk, 3.22; 95% confidence interval, 1.18-8.79; P < .001). After adjustment for beta reserve, CFVR and myocardial blood flow reserve no longer had predictive value. Left atrial diameter added prognostic value over clinical factors and left ventricular ejection fraction (chi(2) = 36.8-58.5, P < .001). Beta reserve added additional power to the model (chi(2) = 70.2, P < .001). Conclusions: Increased left atrial diameter and depressed beta reserve were independent predictors of cardiac death and transplantation in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Beta reserve by RTMPE provided incremental predictive value beyond that provided by current known prognostic clinical and echocardiographic factors. (J Am Soc Echocardiogr 2013;26:278-87.)

    Sonothrombolysis Promotes Improvement in Left Ventricular Wall Motion and Perfusion Scores after Acute Myocardial Infarction
    (2022) TAVARES, Bruno G.; AGUIAR, Miguel Osman; TSUTSUI, Jeane; OLIVEIRA, Mucio; SOEIRO, Alexandre de Matos; NICOLAU, Jose; RIBEIRO, Henrique; POCHIANG, Hsu; SBANO, Joao; ROCHITTE, Carlos Eduardo; LOPES, Bernardo; RAMIREZ, Jose; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; MATHIAS, Wilson
    Background: It has recently been demonstrated that the application of high-energy ultrasound and microbubbles, in a technique known as sonothrombolysis, dissolves intravascular thrombi and increases the angiographic recanalization rate in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Objective: To evaluate the effects of sonothrombolysis on left ventricular wall motion and myocardial perfusion in patients with STEMI, using real-time myocardial perfusion echocardiography (RTMPE). Methods: One hundred patients with STEMI were randomized into the following 2 groups: therapy (50 patients treated with sonothrombolysis and primary coronary angioplasty) and control (50 patients treated with primary coronary angioplasty). The patients underwent RTMPE for analysis of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), wall motion score index (WMSI), and number of segments with myocardial perfusion defects 72 hours after STEMI and at 6 months of follow-up. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Patients treated with sonothrombolysis had higher LVEF than the control group at 72 hours (50% +/- 10% versus 44% +/- 10%; p = 0.006), and this difference was maintained at 6 months of follow-up (53% +/- 10% versus 48% +/- 12%; p = 0.008). The WMSI was similar in the therapy and control groups at 72 hours (1.62 +/- 0.39 versus 1.75 +/- 0.40; p = 0.09), but it was lower in the therapy group at 6 months (1.46 +/- 0.36 versus 1.64 +/- 0.44; p = 0.02). The number of segments with perfusion defects on RTMPE was similar in therapy and control group at 72 hours (5.92 +/- 3.47 versus 6.94 +/- 3.39; p = 0.15), but it was lower in the therapy group at 6 months (4.64 +/- 3.31 versus 6.57 +/- 4.29; p = 0.01). Conclusion: Sonothrombolysis in patients with STEMI resulted in improved wall motion and ventricular perfusion scores over time.

    Cardiac shock wave therapy improves myocardial perfusion and preserves left ventricular mechanics in patients with refractory angina: A study with speckle tracking echocardiography
    (2018) DUQUE, Anderson S.; CECCON, Conrado L.; JR, Wilson Mathias; MAJESKY, Joana Diniz; GOWDAK, Luis H.; SBANO, Joao C. N.; CESAR, Luis Antonio Machado; ABDUCH, Maria Cristina; LIMA, Marcio S. M.; DOURADO, Paulo M. M.; V, Cecilia B. B. Cruz; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.
    BackgroundCardiac shockwave therapy (CSWT) is a new potential option for the treatment of patients with chronic coronary disease and refractory angina (RA). We aimed to study the effects of CSWT on left ventricular myocardial perfusion and mechanics in patients with RA. MethodWe prospectively studied 19 patients who underwent CSWT. Left ventricular mechanics were evaluated by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), and myocardial perfusion by single-photon emission computed tomography, using stress/rest-Technetium-99m Sestamibi, for determination of summed stress score (SSS). Canadian Cardiac Society (CCS), New York Heart Association (NYHA), and quality of life by Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) were assessed at baseline and 6months after therapy. ResultsCSWT therapy was applied without major side effects. At baseline, 18 patients (94.7%) had CCS class III or IV, and after CSWT there was reduction to 3 (15.8%), P=.0001, associated with improvement in SAQ (38.5%; P<.001). Thirteen (68.4%) had class NYHA III or IV before treatment, with significant reduction to 7 (36.8%); P=.014. No change was observed in the global SSS from baseline to 6-month follow-up (15.338.60 vs 16.60 +/- 8.06; P=.157). However, there was a significant reduction in the average SSS of the treated ischemic segments (2.1 +/- 0.87 pre vs 1.6 +/- 1.19 post CSWT; P=.024). Global longitudinal strain by STE remained unaltered (-13.03 +/- 8.96 pre vs -15.88 +/- 3.43 6-month post CSWT; P=.256). ConclusionCSWT is a safe procedure for the treatment of patients with RA that results in better quality of life, improvement in myocardial perfusion of the treated segments with preservation of left ventricular mechanics.

    (2016) LIMA, Marcio Silva Miguel; VILLARRAGA, Hector R.; ABDUCH, Maria Cristina Donadio; LIMA, Marta Fernandes; CRUZ, Cecilia Beatriz Bittencourt Viana; BITTENCOURT, Marcio Sommer; VOOS, Mariana Callil; SBANO, Joao Cesar Nunes; MATHIAS JR., Wilson; TSUTSUI, Jeane Mike
    Background: Chagas disease (CD) is a frequent cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (CMP) in developing countries, leading to clinical heart failure and worse prognosis. Therefore, the development and evolution of this CMP has always been a major topic in numbers of previous studies. A comprehensive echocardiographic study of left ventricular (LV) mechanics, fully assessing myocardial contraction, has never been done before. This could help characterize and improve the understanding of the evolution of this prevalent CMP. Methods: A total of 47 chagasic and 84 control patients were included in this study and allocated in groups according to LV ejection fraction. 2D-Echocardiogram was acquired for LV mechanics analysis by speckle tracking echocardiography. Results: Mean age of chagasic individuals was 55y and 16 (34 %) were men. Significant difference was found in global longitudinal velocity analysis, with lower values in indeterminate form. In the group with severe systolic dysfunction, a paradoxical increase in longitudinal and apical radial displacements were demonstrated. In parallel, segmental analyzes highlighted lower values of radial displacement, strain and strain rate into inferior and inferolateral walls, with increase of these values in septal and anterior walls. Conclusion: Chagasic CMP has a vicarious pattern of contraction in the course of its evolution, defined by reduced displacement and strain into inferior and posterior walls with paradoxical increase in septal and anterior segments. Also, lower longitudinal velocities were demonstrated in CD indeterminate form, which may indicate an incipient myocardial injury.

    Qualitative and Quantitative Real Time Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography for Detecting Hibernating Myocardium
    (2011) FERNANDES, Daniela Ribeiro Aleixo; TSUTSUI, Jeane Mike; BOCCHI, Edimar Alcides; CESAR, Luiz Antonio Machado; SBANO, Joao Cesar Nunes; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; MATHIAS JR., Wilson
    Background: Real time myocardial contrast echocardiography (RTMCE) is an emerging imaging modality for assessing myocardial perfusion that allows for noninvasive quantification of regional myocardial blood flow (MBF). Aim: We sought to assess the value of qualitative analysis of myocardial perfusion and quantitative assessment of myocardial blood flow (MBF) by RTMCE for predicting regional function recovery in patients with ischemic heart disease who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: Twenty-four patients with coronary disease and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction < 45%) underwent RTMCE before and 3 months after CABG. RTMCE was performed using continuous intravenous infusion of commercially available contrast agent with low mechanical index power modulation imaging. Viability was defined by qualitative assessment of myocardial perfusion as homogenous opacification at rest in >= 2 segments of anterior or >= 1 segment of posterior territory. Viability by quantitative assessment of MBF was determined by receiver-operating characteristics curve analysis. Results: Regional function recovery was observed in 74% of territories considered viable by qualitative analysis of myocardial perfusion and 40% of nonviable (P = 0.03). Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of qualitative RTMCE for detecting regional function recovery were 74%, 60%, 77%, and 56%, respectively. Cutoff value of MBF for predicting regional function recovery was 1.76 (AUC = 0.77; 95% CI = 0.62-0.92). MBF obtained by RTMCE had sensitivity of 91%, specificity of 50%, positive predictive value of 75%, and negative predictive value of 78%. Conclusion: Qualitative and quantitative RTMCE provide good accuracy for predicting regional function recovery after CABG. Determination of MBF increases the sensitivity for detecting hibernating myocardium. (Echocardiography 2011;28:342-349).

    Incremental Value of Perfusion over Wall-Motion Abnormalities with the Use of Dobutamine-Atropine Stress Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Detecting Coronary Artery Disease
    (2013) FALCAO, Sandra Nivea dos Reis Saraiva; ROCHITTE, Carlos Eduardo; MATHIAS JUNIOR, Wilson; QUAGLIA, Luiz; LEMOS, Pedro Alves; SBANO, Joao Cesar Nunes; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; TSUTSUI, Jeane Mike
    Background: Recently, multimodality imaging has been demonstrated to improve the sensitivity of dobutamine stress for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Objective: We sought to determine the additional value of myocardial perfusion (MP) over wall-motion (WM) analysis for detecting CAD, using real time myocardial contrast echocardiography (RTMCE) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), in the same group of patients. Methods: We studied 42 patients who underwent RTMCE and CMR during high-dose dobutamine stress with early injection of atropine. Results: No difference was observed in the diagnostic accuracy of RTMCE and CMR for detecting angiographically significant CAD when considering WM analysis alone (73% [95% CI, 65-81] and 78% [95% CI, 70-84], respectively; P = NS) or combined analysis of WM and MP (80% [95% CI, 73-97] and 83% [95% CI, 77-90], respectively; P = NS). Combined analysis of WM and MP had higher sensitivity than the analysis of WM alone by RTMCE (88% [95% CI, 75-100] vs. 72% [95% CI, 54-90]) and by CMR (92% [95% CI, 81-100] vs. 80% [95% CI, 64-96]) with no differences in specificity. The association of abnormal WM and MP abnormalities during high-dose dobutamine-atropine stress had additional value for detecting CAD over the analysis of WM alone, both by RTMCE (chi(2) = 16.16-24.13; P = 0.005) and CMR (chi(2) = 12.73-27.41; P = 0.001). Conclusion: RTMCE and CMR using the same dobutamine-atropine stress protocol had comparable diagnostic accuracies for the detection of angiographically significant CAD. MP imaging had additional value over WM analysis for the diagnosis of CAD, both at RTMCE and CMR.

    The impact of ligation of proximal side branches on blood flow and functional status of the internal thoracic artery in coronary anastomosis
    (2016) ABREU, Jose Sebastiao; TSUTSUI, Jeane Mike; FALCAO, Sandra Nivea R.; FEITOSA, Jose Acacio; ROCHA, Eduardo Arraes; OLIVEIRA, Italo Martins; DIOGENES, Teresa Cristina; PAES JR., Jose N.; SBANO, Joao C.; DALLAN, Luis A.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; MATHIAS JR., Wilson
    BackgroundThe effect of proximal side branches on the patency of the internal thoracic artery (ITA) is controversial. We used echocardiography and Doppler to verify the effect of ligation of branches on the flow and coronary flow reserve (CFR) of the grafted ITA in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). MethodsWe prospectively investigated 53 patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF >50%) who underwent CABG of the ITA. In Group I (25 patients), major branches were ligated during ITA anastomosis to the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, whereas no ligation was performed in Group II (28 patients). Systolic flow (SF), diastolic flow (DF), and total flow (TF = SF + DF) were measured by Doppler echocardiography at the proximal level of the ITA preoperatively, at early postoperative stage, and 6months after surgery. Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) was performed at 6months to determine CFR. ResultsThe ITA flow was predominantly systolic before surgery and diastolic in the postoperative period. We found no differences between the groups in DF. On DSE, SF (19.59mL/min vs 32.7 +/- 19mL/min; P=.003) and TF (79 +/- 21mL/min vs 101 +/- 47mL/min; P=.037) were higher in Group II. There were no differences in CFR (1.9 +/- 0.46 vs 2.11 +/- 0.56; P=.143). ConclusionIn patients with preserved LVEF, ligation of major side branches during anastomosis to the LAD does not alter ITA flow or CFR.
