conferenceObject The Release of Cardiac Necrosis Biomarkers in Patients Without Myocardial Infarction After On-Pump Surgical Revascularization. A Study of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging(2016) OIKAWA, Fernando T.; HUEB, Whady; COSTA, Leandro M.; MELO, Rodrigo M. Vieira de; REZENDE, Paulo C.; GARZILLO, Cibele L.; LIMA, Eduardo G.; NOMURA, Cesar H.; VILLA, Alexandre V.; HUEB, Alexandre C.; RAMIRES, Jose A.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto- Long-term prognostic value of late gadolinium enhancement and periprocedural myocardial infarction after uncomplicated revascularization: MASS-V follow-up(2022) LINHARES-FILHO, Jaime; HUEB, Whady; LIMA, Eduardo; REZENDE, Paulo; AZEVEDO, Diogo; ROCHITTE, Carlos; NOMURA, Cesar; SERRANO-JUNIOR, Carlos; RAMIRES, Jose; KALIL-FILHO, RobertoAims Cardiac biomarkers elevation is common after revascularization, even in absence of periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) detection by imaging methods. Thus, late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) may be useful on PMI diagnosis and prognosis. We sought to evaluate long-term prognostic value of PMI and new LGE after revascularization. Methods and results Two hundred and two patients with multivessel coronary disease and preserved ventricular function who underwent elective revascularization were included, of whom 136 (67.3%) underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and 66 (32.7%) percutaneous coronary intervention. The median follow-up was 5 years (4.8-5.8 years). Cardiac biomarkers measurement and LGE-CMR were performed before and after procedures. The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions definition was used to assess PMI. Primary endpoint was composed of death, infarction, additional revascularization, or cardiac hospitalization. Primary endpoint was observed in 29 (14.3%) patients, of whom 13 (14.9%) had PMI and 16 (13.9%) did not (P = 0.93). Thirty-six (17.8%) patients had new LGE. Twenty (12.0%) events occurred in patients without new LGE and 9 (25.2%) in patients with it (P = 0.045). LGE was also associated to increased mortality, with 4 (2.4%) and 4 (11.1%) deaths in subjects without and with it (P = 0.02). LGE was the only independent predictor of primary endpoint and mortality (P = 0.03 and P = 0.02). Median LGE mass was estimated at 4.6 g. Patients with new LGE had a greater biomarkers release (median troponin: 8.9 ng/mL vs. 1.8 ng/mL and median creatine kinase-MB: 38.0 ng/mL vs. 12.3 ng/mL; P < 0.001 in both comparisons). Conclusions New LGE was shown to be better prognostic predictor than biomarker-only PMI definition after uncomplicated revascularization. Furthermore, new LGE was the only independent predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality.
- Myocardial perfusion in patients with suspected coronary artery disease: comparison between 320-MDCT and rubidium-82 PET(2018) DANTAS JR., Roberto Nery; ASSUNCAO JR., Antonildes Nascimento; MARQUES FILHO, Ismar Aguiar; FAHEL, Mateus Guimaraes; NOMURA, Cesar Higa; AVILA, Luiz Francisco Rodrigues; GIORGI, Maria Clementina Pinto; SOARES JR., Jose; MENEGHETTI, Jose Claudio; PARGA, Jose RodriguesDespite advances in non-invasive myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) evaluation, computed tomography (CT) multiphase MPI protocols have not yet been compared with the highly accurate rubidium-82 positron emission tomography ((RbPET)-Rb-82) MPI. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate agreement between (RbPET)-Rb-82 and 320-detector row CT (320-CT) MPI using a multiphase protocol in suspected CAD patients. Forty-four patients referred for MPI evaluation were prospectively enrolled and underwent dipyridamole stress (RbPET)-Rb-82 and multiphase 320-CT MPI (five consecutive volumetric acquisitions during stress). Statistical analyses were performed using the R software. There was high agreement for recognizing summed stress scores 4 (kappa 0.77, 95% CI 0.55-0.98, p < 0.001) and moderate for detecting SDS 2 (kappa 0.51, 95% CI 0.23-0.80, p < 0.001). In a per segment analysis, agreement was high for the presence of perfusion defects during stress and rest (kappa 0.75 and 0.82, respectively) and was moderate for impairment severity (kappa 0.58 and 0.65, respectively). The 320-CT protocol was safe, with low radiation burden (9.3 +/- 2.4 mSv). There was a significant agreement between dipyridamole stress 320-CT MPI and (RbPET)-Rb-82 MPI in the evaluation of suspected CAD patients of intermediate risk. The multiphase 320-CT MPI protocol was feasible, diagnostic and with relatively low radiation exposure. aEuro cent Rubidium-82 PET and 320-MDCT can perform MPI studies for CAD investigation. aEuro cent There is high agreement between rubidium-82 PET and 320-MDCT for MPI assessment. aEuro cent Multiphase CT perfusion protocols are feasible and with low radiation. aEuro cent Multiphase CT perfusion protocols can identify image artefacts.

However, the role of myocardial revascularization as a therapeutic alternative is not known to improve the long-term prognosis in this group of patients. This study will investigate whether myocardial revascularization contributes to a better prognosis for patients compared with those treated with drugs alone and followed over the long term.MethodsThe study will include 600 patients with coronary artery disease associated with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The surgical or drug therapy option will be randomized, and the events considered for analysis will be all-cause mortality, nonfatal infarction, unstable angina requiring additional revascularization, and stroke. The events will be analyzed according to the intent-to-treat principle. Patients with multivessel coronary disease and left ventricular ejection fraction measurements of less than 35% will be included. In addition, myocardial ischemia will be documented by myocardial scintigraphy. Markers of myocardial necrosis will be checked at admission and after the procedure.DiscussionThe role of myocardial revascularization (CABG) in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease and heart failure is not clearly established. The surgical option of revascularizing the myocardium is a procedure designed to reduce the load of myocardial hibernation in patients with heart failure caused by coronary artery disease. On the other hand, the assessment of myocardial viability is frequently used to identify patients with left ventricular ischemic dysfunction in which CABG may add survival benefit. However, the effectiveness of this option is uncertain. The great difficulty in establishing the efficacy of surgical intervention is based on the understanding of viability without ischemia. Thus, this study will include only patients with viable and truly ischemic myocardium to correct this anomaly.Trial registrationEvaluation of a randomized comparison between patients with coronary artery disease associated with ischemic cardiomyopathy submitted to medical or surgical treatment: MASS-VI (HF), ISRCTN77449548, Oct 10th, 2019 (retrospectively registered).
- Myocardial tissue microstructure with and without stress-induced ischemia assessed by T1 mapping in patients with stable coronary artery disease(2023) RIBEIRO, Matheus de Oliveira Laterza; HUEB, Whady; REZENDE, Paulo Cury; LIMA, Eduardo Gomes; NOMURA, Cesar Higa; ROCHITTE, Carlos Eduardo; SELISTRE, Luciano da Silva; BOROS, Gustavo Andre Boeing; RAMIRES, Jose Antonio Franchini; KALIL FILHO, RobertoBackground: Stress-induced myocardial ischemia seems not to be associated with cardiovascular events. How-ever, its effects on myocardial tissue characteristics remain under debate. Thus, we sought to assess whether documented stress-induced ischemia is associated with changes in myocardial microstructure evaluated by magnetic resonance native T1 map and extracellular volume fraction (ECV).Methods: This is a single-center, analysis of the previously published MASS V Trial. Multivessel patients with a formal indication for myocardial revascularization and with documented stress-induced ischemia were included in this study. Native T1 and ECV values evaluated by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of ischemic and nonischemic myocardial segments at rest and after stress were compared. Myocardial ischemia was detected by either nuclear scintigraphy or stress magnetic cardiac resonance protocol.Results: Between May 2012 and March 2014, 326 prospective patients were eligible for isolated CABG or PCI and 219 were included in the MASS V trial. All patients underwent resting cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Of a total of 840 myocardial segments, 654 were nonischemic segments and 186 were ischemic segments. Native T1 and ECV values of ischemic segments were not significantly different from nonischemic segments, both at rest and after stress induction. In addition, native T1 and ECV values of myocardial segments supplied by vessels with obstructive lesions were similar to those supplied by nonobstructive ones.Conclusion and relevance: In this study, cardiac magnetic resonance identified similar T1 mapping values between ischemic and nonischemic myocardial segments. This finding suggests integrity and stability of myocardial tissue in the presence of stress-induced ischemia.
