    Quantitative analysis of pulmonary perfusion with dual-energy CT angiography: comparison of two quantification methods in patients with pulmonary embolism
    (2023) LEE, Hye Ju; WANDERLEY, Mark; RUBIN, Vivian Cardinal da Silva; ALCALA, Glasiele Cristina; COSTA, Eduardo Leite Vieira; PARGA, Jose Rodrigues; AMATO, Marcelo Britto Passos
    The study aimed to evaluate a quantification method of pulmonary perfusion with Dual-Energy CT Angiography (DE-CTA) normalized by lung density in the prediction of outcome in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). In this prospective study with CTA scans acquired with different breathing protocols, two perfusion parameters were calculated: %PBV (relative value of PBV, expressed per unit volume) and PBVm (PBV normalized by lung density, expressed per unit mass). DE-CTA parameters were correlated with simplified pulmonary embolism severity index (sPESI) and with outcome groups, alone and in combinationwith tomographic right-to-left ventricular ratios (RV/LV). PBVm showed significant correlation with sPESI. PBVm presented higher accuracy than %PBV In the prediction of ICU admission or death in patients with PE, with the best performance when combined with RV/LV volumetric ratio.

    Influential Factors on the Evaluation of Adamkiewicz Artery Using a 320-Detector Row Computed Tomography Device
    (2017) AMATO, Alexandre C. M.; PARGA FILHO, Jose R.; STOLF, Noedir A. G.
    Background: Understanding the difference of Adamkiewicz artery (AKA) presentation in healthy and diseased subjects, and the influence of atherosclerotic factors prevalent in aortic disease patients, are important for aortic disease therapeutic planning. This study used a 320-detector row computed tomography (CT) device to examine the impact of clinical aspects of AKA identification in individuals with and without aortic disease. Methods: Angio-CTs obtained from 115 patients were assessed and the individuals grouped according to the presence or absence of aortic disease. Datasets were analyzed using OsiriX software, and AKA was identified by three-dimensional multiplanar reconstruction. Results: The group without aortic disease (Group A) comprised 32 (52.5%) men and 29 women, with a mean age of 53.7 +/- 16.8 years. The group with aortic disease (Group B) comprised 31 (57.4%) men and 23 women, with a mean age of 64.8 +/- 11.6 years. AKA was identified in 49 (80.3%) participants of Group A and 23 (42.6%) individuals of Group B (P <= 0.0001). In 53 cases (73.6%), AKA originated on the left side. AKA was mainly detected on the left side (73.6%), at the level of T10 to T12 (70%). Tobacco smokers, former smokers, and hypertensive patients had increased odds of having undetected AKA. Conclusions: Using the method described and a state of the art 320-detector row CT device, AKA was detected more frequently among individuals without aortic disease. Thus, aortic disease and atherosclerotic risk factors hindered AKA detection.

    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 Rodrigues
    Despite 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.

    A computational framework to characterize and compare the geometry of coronary networks
    (2017) BULANT, C. A.; BLANCO, P. J.; LIMA, T. P.; ASSUNCAO JR., A. N.; LIBERATO, G.; PARGA, J. R.; AVILA, L. F. R.; PEREIRA, A. C.; FEIJOO, R. A.; LEMOS, P. A.
    This work presents a computational framework to perform a systematic and comprehensive assessment of the morphometry of coronary arteries from in vivo medical images. The methodology embraces image segmentation, arterial vessel representation, characterization and comparison, data storage, and finally analysis. Validation is performed using a sample of 48 patients. Data mining of morphometric information of several coronary arteries is presented. Results agree to medical reports in terms of basic geometric and anatomical variables. Concerning geometric descriptors, inter-artery and intra-artery correlations are studied. Data reported here can be useful for the construction and setup of blood flow models of the coronary circulation. Finally, as an application example, similarity criterion to assess vasculature likelihood based on geometric features is presented and used to test geometric similarity among sibling patients. Results indicate that likelihood, measured through geometric descriptors, is stronger between siblings compared with non-relative patients.

    BIOMARKERS AND CMR WITH LATE GADOLINIUM ENHANCEMENT FOR DIAGNOSIS OF PROCEDURE-RELATED MYOCARDIAL NECROSIS: A PROSPECTIVE TRIAL USING THE THIRD UNIVERSAL DEFINITION OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
    (2013) HUEB, Whady; NOMURA, Cesar; VILLA, Alexandre V.; PARGA, Jose; COSTA, Leandro; MELO, Rodrigo M. V.; OIKAWA, Fernando T. C.; STRUNZ, Celia; REZENDE, Paulo; LIMA, Eduardo; GARZILLO, Cibele L.; RIBEIRO, Expedito E.; HUEB, Alexandre; SERRANO, Carlos; RAMIRES, Jose; KALIL-FILHO, Roberto
    Background: The elevation of cardiac biomarkers after percutaneous or surgical myocardial revascularization procedures is common. However, the correlation between the release and the diagnosis of procedure-related myocardial infarction (Ml) remains unknown. In this study we aim to compare the release of cardiac biomarkers after mechanical interventions with the presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Methods: In this prospective study, we evaluated 64 stable multivessel coronary artery disease patients with preserved ventricular function and formal indication to revascularization. The release of troponin and CKMB for diagnosis of procedure-related Ml was defined as the third universal definition of Ml. CMR with LGE was performed in all patients before and after interventions. Measurements of cardiac biomarkers were performed before and after the procedure, every 6 hours until 48h after PCI and 72h after CABG. Results: Of 64 patients, 44 (68.8%) underwent CABG and 20 (31.2%) underwent PCI; 46 (72%) were male, 45 (70%) had 3-vessel disease, 33 (52%) had diabetes and 23 (36%) had class Ill/IV of angina. For CABG patients, injury occurred in 95.5% (troponin) and 25% (CKMB); for PCI patients injury occurred in 70% (troponin) and 5% (CKMB). From the initial 64 patients, 14 (21.9%) had new LGE on post-procedure CMR, 13 after CABG and 1 after PCI. From these 14 patients, 7 (50%) presented elevation of CKMB above the cutoffs and troponin was elevated in all patients. From the 50 patients with no new LGE on CMR, 5 (10%) presented CKMB elevation and 42 (84%) presented troponin elevation above the 99th percentile. Based on current cutoffs, troponin had a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 16% (positive predictive value of 25% and negative predictive value of 100%). CKMB had a sensitivity of 50% and specificity of 90% (positive predictive value of 58% and negative predictive value of 87%). Conclusion: In this study, cardiac biomarkers had a low accuracy for the diagnosis of procedure-related myocardial infarction based on LGE CMR.

    Myocardial fibrosis detected by cardiac CT predicts ventricular fibrillation/ventricular tachycardia events in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
    (2013) SHIOZAKI, Afonso Akio; SENRA, Tiago; ARTEAGA, Edmund; MARTINELLI FILHO, Martino; PITA, Cristiane Guedes; AVILA, Luis Francisco R.; PARGA FILHO, Jose Rodrigues; MADY, Charles; KALIL-FILHO, Roberto; BLUEMKE, David A.; ROCHITTE, Carlos Eduardo
    Background: Myocardial fibrosis (MF) occurs in up to 80% of subjects with asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and can constitute an arrhythmogenic substrate for re-entrant, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in predisposed persons. Objective: The aim was to investigate whether MF detected by delayed enhancement cardiac CT is predictive of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and fibrillation (VF) that require appropriate therapy by an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in patients with HCM. Methods: Twenty-six patients with HCM with previously (for at least 1 year) implanted ICD underwent MF evaluation by cardiac CT. MF was quantified by myocardial delayed enhanced cardiac CT. Data on ICD firing were recorded every 3 months after ICD implantation. Risk factors for sudden cardiac death in patients with HCM were evaluated in all patients. Results: MF was present in 25 of 26 patients (96%) with mean fibrosis mass of 20.5 +/- 15.8 g. Patients with appropriate ICD shocks for VF/VT had significantly greater MF mass than patients without (29.10 +/- 19.13 g vs 13.57 +/- 8.31 g; P = .01). For a MF mass of at least 18 g, sensitivity and specificity for appropriate ICD firing were 73% (95% CI, 49%-88%) and 71% (95% CI, 56%-81%), respectively. Kaplan-Meier curves indicated a significantly greater VF/VT event rate in patients with MF mass >= 18 g than in patients with MF <18 g (P = .02). In the Cox regression analysis, the amount of MF was independently associated with VF/VT in ICD-stored electrograms. Conclusion: The mass of MF detected by cardiac CT in patients with HCM at high risk of sudden death was associated with appropriate ICD firings.
