- Prognostic value of dobutamine stress myocardial perfusion echocardiography in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease and normal left ventricular function(2017) MATTOSO, Angele A. A.; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.; KOWATSCH, Ingrid; CRUZ, Vitoria Y. L.; SBANO, Joao C. N.; RIBEIRO, Henrique B.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; PORTER, Thomas R.; MATHIAS JR., WilsonObjective We sought to determine the prognostic value of qualitative and quantitative analysis obtained by real-time myocardial perfusion echocardiography (RTMPE) in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Background Quantification of myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR) in patients with CAD using RTMPE has been demonstrated to further improve accuracy over the analysis of wall motion (WM) and qualitative analysis of myocardial perfusion (QMP). Methods From March 2003 to December 2008, we prospectively studied 168 patients with normal left ventricular function (LVF) who underwent dobutamine stress RTMPE. The replenishment velocity reserve (beta) and MBFR were derived from RTMPE. Acute coronary events were: cardiac death, myocardial infarction and unstable angina with need for urgent coronary revascularization. Results During a median follow-up of 34 months (5 days to 6.9 years), 17 acute coronary events occurred. Abnormal beta reserve in >= 2 coronary territories was the only independent predictor of events hazard ratio (HR) = 21, 95% CI = 4.5-99; p<0.001). Both, abnormal beta reserve and MBFR added significant incremental value in predicting events over qualitative analysis of WM and MP (chi(2) = 6.6 and chi(2) = 24.6, respectively; p = 0.001 and chi(2) = 6.6 and chi(2) = 15.5, respectively; p = 0.012, respectively). When coronary angiographic data was added to the multivariate analysis model, beta reserve remained the only predictor of events with HR of 21.0 (95% CI = 4.5-99); p<0.001. Conclusion Quantitative dobutamine stress RTMPE provides incremental prognostic information over clinical variables, qualitative analysis of WM and MP, and coronary angiography in predicting acute coronary events.
- Myocardial Deformation by Speckle Tracking in Severe Dilated Cardiomyopathy(2012) ABDUCH, Maria Cristina Donadio; SALGO, Ivan; TSANG, Wendy; VIEIRA, Marcelo Luiz Campos; CRUZ, Victoria; LIMA, Marta; TSUTSUI, Jeane Mike; MOR-AVI, Victor; LANG, Roberto M.; MATHIAS JR., WilsonBackground: The high and increasing prevalence of Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) represents a serious public health issue. Novel technologies have been used aiming to improve diagnosis and the therapeutic approach. In this context, speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) uses natural myocardial markers to analyze the systolic deformation of the left ventricle (LV). Objective: Measure the longitudinal transmural global strain (GS) of the LV through STE in patients with severe DCM, comparing the results with normal individuals and with echocardiographic parameters established for the analysis of LV systolic function, in order to validate the method in this population. Methods: Seventy-one patients with severe DCM (53 +/- 12 years, 72% men) and 20 controls (30 +/- 8 years, 45% men) were studied. The following variables were studied: LV volumes and ejection fraction calculated by two and three-dimensional echocardiography, Doppler parameters, Tissue Doppler Imaging systolic and diastolic LV velocities and GS obtained by STE. Results: Compared with controls, LV volumes were higher in the DCM group; however, LVEF and peak E-wave velocity were lower in the latter. The myocardial performance index was higher in the patient group. Tissue Doppler myocardial velocities (S', e', a') were significantly lower and E/e' ratio was higher in the DCM group. GS was decreased in the DCM group (-5.5% +/- 2.3%) when compared with controls (-14.0% +/- 1.8%). Conclusion: In this study, GS was significantly lower in patients with severe DCM, bringing new perspectives for therapeutic approaches in this specific population.

- Diagnostic Ultrasound Impulses Improve Microvascular Flow in Patients With STEMI Receiving Intravenous Microbubbles(2016) MATHIAS JR., Wilson; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.; TAVARES, Bruno G.; XIE, Feng; AGUIAR, Miguel O. D.; GARCIA, Diego R.; OLIVEIRA JR., Mucio T.; SOEIRO, Alexandre; NICOLAU, Jose C.; LEMOS NETO, Pedro A.; ROCHITTE, Carlos E.; RAMIRES, Jose A. F.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; PORTER, Thomas R.BACKGROUND Pre-clinical trials have demonstrated that, during intravenous microbubble infusion, high mechanical index (HMI) impulses from a diagnostic ultrasound (DUS) transducer might restore epicardial and microvascular flow in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to test the safety and efficacy of this adjunctive approach in humans. METHODS From May 2014 through September 2015, patients arriving with their first STEMI were randomized to either DUS intermittent HMI impulses (n = 20) just prior to emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and for an additional 30 min post-PCI (HMI + PCI), or low mechanical index (LMI) imaging only (n = 10) for perfusion assessments before and after PCI (LMI + PCI). All studies were conducted during an intravenous perflutren lipid microsphere infusion. A control reference group (n = 70) arrived outside of the time window of ultrasound availability and received emergent PCI alone (PCI only). Initial epicardial recanalization rates prior to emergent PCI and improvements in microvascular flow were compared between ultrasound-treated groups. RESULTS Median door-to-dilation times were 82 +/- 26 min in the LMI + PCI group, 72 +/- 15 min in the HMI + PCI group, and 103 +/- 42 min in the PCI-only group (p = NS). Angiographic recanalization prior to PCI was seen in 12 of 20 HMI + PCI patients (60%) compared with 10% of LMI + PCI and 23% of PCI-only patients (p = 0.002). There were no differences in microvascular obstructed segments prior to treatment, but there were significantly smaller proportions of obstructed segments in the HMI + PCI group at 1 month (p = 0.001) and significant improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction (p < 0.005). CONCLUSIONS HMI impulses from a diagnostic transducer, combined with a commercial microbubble infusion, can prevent microvascular obstruction and improve functional outcome when added to the contemporary PCI management of acute STEMI.

- Comprehensive left ventricular mechanics analysis by speckle tracking echocardiography in Chagas disease(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 MikeBackground: 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.
- The clinical use of stress echocardiography in non-ischaemic heart disease: recommendations from the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging and the American Society of Echocardiography(2016) LANCELLOTTI, Patrizio; PELLIKKA, Patricia A.; BUDTS, Werner; CHAUDHRY, Farooq A.; DONAL, Erwan; DULGHERU, Raluca; EDVARDSEN, Thor; GARBI, Madalina; HA, Jong-Won; KANE, Garvan C.; KREEGER, Joe; MERTENS, Luc; PIBAROT, Philippe; PICANO, Eugenio; RYAN, Thomas; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.; VARGA, AlbertA unique and highly versatile technique, stress echocardiography (SE) is increasingly recognized for its utility in the evaluation of non-ischaemic heart disease. SE allows for simultaneous assessment of myocardial function and haemodynamics under physiological or pharmacological conditions. Due to its diagnostic and prognostic value, SE has become widely implemented to assess various conditions other than ischaemic heart disease. It has thus become essential to establish guidance for its applications and performance in the area of non-ischaemic heart disease. This paper summarizes these recommendations.
- Sonothrombolysis in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Treated With Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention(2019) JR, Wilson Mathias; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.; TAVARES, Bruno G.; FAVA, Agostina M.; AGUIAR, Miguel O. D.; BORGES, Bruno C.; JR, Mucio T. Oliveira; SOEIRO, Alexandre; NICOLAU, Jose C.; RIBEIRO, Henrique B.; CHIANG, Hsu Po; SBANO, Joao C. N.; MORAD, Abdulrahman; GOLDSWEIG, Andrew; ROCHITTE, Carlos E.; LOPES, Bernardo B. C.; RAMIREZ, Jose A. F.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; PORTER, Thomas R.BACKGROUND Preclinical studies have demonstrated that high mechanical index (MI) impulses from a diagnostic ultrasound transducer during an intravenous microbubble infusion (sonothrombolysis) can restore epicardial and microvascular flow in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). OBJECTIVES This study tested the clinical effectiveness of sonothrombolysis in patients with STEMI. METHODS Patients with their first STEMI were prospectively randomized to either diagnostic ultrasound-guided high MI impulses during an intravenous Definity (Lantheus Medical Imaging, North Billerica, Massachusetts) infusion before, and following, emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or to a control group that received PCI only (n = 50 in each group). A reference first STEMI group (n = 203) who arrived outside the randomization window was also analyzed. Angiographic recanalization before PCI, ST-segment resolution, infarct size by magnetic resonance imaging, and systolic function (LVEF) at 6 months were compared. RESULTS ST-segment resolution occurred in 16 (32%) high MI PCI versus 2 (4%) PCI-only patients before PCI, and angiographic recanalization was 48% in high MI/PCI versus 20% in PCI only and 21% in the reference group (p < 0.001). Infarct size was reduced (29 +/- 22 g high MI/PCI vs. 40 +/- 20 g PCI only; p = 0.026). LVEF was not different between groups before treatment (44 +/- 11% vs. 43 +/- 10%), but increased immediately after PCI in the high MI/PCI group (p = 0.03), and remained higher at 6 months (p = 0.015). Need for implantable defibrillator (LVEF <= 30%) was reducedin the high MI/PCI group (5% vs. 18% PCI only; p = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS Sonothrombolysis added to PCI improves recanalization rates and reduces infarct size, resulting in sustained improvements in systolic function after STEMI.

conferenceObject Effect of sonothrombolysis on recanalization rates, ventricular remodeling and mechanics. Results of a single center, randomized trial in patients with first acute ST elevation myocardial infarction(2017) AGUIAR, M. O. Dias; TAVARES, B. Garcia; TSUTSUI, J. M.; LOPES, B. Baptista C.; CRUZ, C. B. B. Viana; NICOLAU, J. C.; VIANA, E. Prado; OLIVEIRA, M. T.; SOEIRO, A.; RIBEIRO, E.; LEMOS, P.; PORTER, T. R.; LIMA, F.; KALIL FILHO, R.; MATHIAS JR., W.- Sonothrombolysis Improves Myocardial Dynamics and Microvascular Obstruction Preventing Left Ventricular Remodeling in Patients With ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction(2020) AGUIAR, Miguel O. D.; TAVARES, Bruno G.; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.; FAVA, Agostina M.; BORGES, Bruno C.; OLIVEIRA JR., Mucio T.; SOEIRO, Alexandre; NICOLAU, Jose C.; RIBEIRO, Henrique B.; CHIANG, Hsu P.; SBANO, Joao C. N.; GOLDSWEIG, Andrew; ROCHITTE, Carlos E.; LOPES, Bernardo B. C.; RAMIREZ, Jose A. F.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; PORTER, Thomas R.; MATHIAS JR., WilsonBackground: It has recently been demonstrated that high-energy diagnostic transthoracic ultrasound and intravenous microbubbles dissolve thrombi (sonothrombolysis) and increase angiographic recanalization rates in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction. We aimed to study the effect of sonothrombolysis on the myocardial dynamics and infarct size obtained by real-time myocardial perfusion echocardiography and their value in preventing left ventricular remodeling. Methods: One hundred patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction were randomized to therapy (50 patients treated with sonothrombolysis and percutaneous coronary intervention) or control (50 patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention only). Left ventricular volumes, ejection fraction, risk area (before treatment), myocardial perfusion defect over time (infarct size), and global longitudinal strain were determined by quantitative real-time myocardial perfusion echocardiography and speckle tracking echocardiography imaging. Results: Risk area was similar in the control and therapy groups (19.2 +/- 10.1% versus 20.7 +/- 8.9%; P=0.56) before treatment. The therapy group presented a behavior significantly different than control group over time (P<0.001). The perfusion defect was smaller in the therapy at 48 to 72 hours even in the subgroup of patients with no recanalization at first angiography (12.9 +/- 6.5% therapy versus 18.8 +/- 9.9% control; P=0.015). The left ventricular global longitudinal strain was higher in the therapy than control immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (14.1 +/- 4.1% versus 12.0 +/- 3.3%; P=0.012), and this difference was maintained until 6 months (17.1 +/- 3.5% versus 13.6 +/- 3.6%; P<0.001). The only predictor of left ventricular remodeling was treatment with sonothrombolysis: the control group was more likely to exhibit left ventricular remodeling with an odds ratio of 2.79 ([95% CI, 0.13-6.86]; P=0.026). Conclusions: Sonothrombolysis reduces microvascular obstruction and improves myocardial dynamics in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction and is an independent predictor of left ventricular remodeling over time.
