    Evaluation of Myocardial Perfusion by Computed Tomography - Principles, Technical Background and Recommendations
    (2019) MAGALHAES, Tiago Augusto; CURY, Roberto Caldeira; CERCI, Rodrigo Julio; PARGA FILHO, Jose Rodrigues; GOTTLIEB, Ilan; NACIF, Marcelo Souto; PINTO, Ibraim Masciarelli; ROCHITTE, Carlos Eduardo; VILAS-BOAS, Fabio; SCHVARTZMAN, Paulo R.
    Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has gained a prominent role in the evaluation of coronary artery disease. However, its anatomical nature does not allow the evaluation of the functional repercussion of coronary obstructions. It has been made possible to evaluate Myocardial computed tomography perfusion (Myocardial CTP) recently, based on myocardial contrast changes related to coronary stenoses. Several studies have validated this technique against the anatomical reference method (cardiac catheterization) and other functional methods, including myocardial perfusion scintigraphy and fractional flow reserve. The Myocardial CTP is performed in conjunction with the CCTA, a combined analysis of anatomy and function. The stress phase (with assessment of myocardial perfusion) can be performed before or after the resting phase (assessment of resting perfusion and coronary arteries), and different acquisition parameters are proposed according to the protocol and type of equipment used. Stressors used are based on coronary vasodilation (e.g. dipyridamole, adenosine). Image interpretation, similar to other perfusion assessment methods, is based on the identification and quantification of myocardial perfusion defects. The integration of both perfusion and anatomical findings is fundamental for the examination interpretation algorithm, allowing to define if the stenoses identified are hemodynamically significant and may be related to myocardial ischemia.

    Diagnostic Performance of a Machine Learning-Based CT-Derived FFR in Detecting Flow-Limiting Stenosis
    (2021) MORAIS, Thamara Carvalho; ASSUNCAO-JR, Antonildes Nascimento; DANTAS JUNIOR, Roberto Nery; SILVA, Carla Franco Grego da; PAULA, Caroline Bastida de; TORRES, Roberto Almeida; MAGALHAES, Tiago Augusto; NOMURA, Cesar Higa; AVILA, Luiz Francisco Rodrigues de; PARGA FILHO, Jose Rodrigues
    Background: The non-invasive quantification of the fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) using a more recent version of an artificial intelligence-based software and latest generation CT scanner (384 slices) may show high performance to detect coronary ischemia. Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of FFRCT for the detection of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in contrast to invasive FFR (iFFR) using previous generation CT scanners (128 and 256-detector rows). Methods: Retrospective study with patients referred to coronary artery CT angiography (CTA) and catheterization (iFFR) procedures. Siemens Somatom Definition Flash (256-detector rows) and AS+ (128-detector rows) CT scanners were used to acquire the images. The FFRCT and the minimal lumen area (MLA) were evaluated using a dedicated software (cFFR version 3.0.0, Siemens Healthineers, Forchheim, Germany). Obstructive CAD was defined as CTA lumen reduction >= 50%, and flow-limiting stenosis as iFFR <= 0.8. All reported P values are two-tailed, and when <0.05, they were considered statistically significant. Results: Ninety-three consecutive patients (152 vessels) were included. There was good agreement between FFRCT and iFFR, with minimal FFRCT overestimation (bias: -0.02; limits of agreement:0.14-0.09). Different CT scanners did not modify the association between FFRCT and FFRi (p for interaction=0.73). The performance of FFRCT was significantly superior compared to the visual classification of coronary stenosis (AUC 0.93vs.0.61, p<0.001) and to MLA (AUC 0.93vs.0.75, p<0.001), reducing the number of false-positive cases. The optimal cut-off point for FFRCT using a Youden index was 0.85 (87% Sensitivity, 86% Specificity, 73% PPV, 94% NPV), with a reduction of false-positives. Conclusion: Machine learning-based FFRCT using previous generation CT scanners (128 and 256-detector rows) shows good diagnostic performance for the detection of CAD, and can be used to reduce the number of invasive procedures.

    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.

    Dipyridamole stress myocardial perfusion by computed tomography in patients with left bundle branch block
    (2015) CABEDA, Estevan Vieira; FALCAO, Andrea Maria Gomes; SOARES JR., Jose; ROCHITTE, Carlos Eduardo; NOMURA, Cesar Higa; AVILA, Luiz Francisco Rodrigues; PARGA, Jose Rodrigues
    Background: Functional tests have limited accuracy for identifying myocardial ischemia in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB). Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of dipyridamole-stress myocardial computed tomography perfusion (CTP) by 320-detector CT in patients with LBBB using invasive quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) (stenosis >= 70%) as reference; to investigate the advantage of adding CTP to coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and compare the results with those of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. Methods: Thirty patients with LBBB who had undergone SPECT for the investigation of coronary artery disease were referred for stress tomography. Independent examiners performed per-patient and per-coronary territory assessments. All patients gave written informed consent to participate in the study that was approved by the institution's ethics committee. Results: The patients' mean age was 62 +/- 10 years. The mean dose of radiation for the tomography protocol was 9.3 +/- 4.6 mSv. With regard to CTP, the per-patient values for sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy were 86%, 81%, 80%, 87%, and 83%, respectively (p = 0.001). The per-territory values were 63%, 86%, 65%, 84%, and 79%, respectively (p < 0.001). In both analyses, the addition of CTP to CTA achieved higher diagnostic accuracy for detecting myocardial ischemia than SPECT (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The use of the stress tomography protocol is feasible and has good diagnostic accuracy for assessing myocardial ischemia in patients with LBBB.

    Myocardial T1 mapping and extracellular volume quantification in patients with left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy
    (2018) ARAUJO-FILHO, Jose A. B.; ASSUNCAO JR., Antonildes N.; MELO, Marcelo D. Tavares de; BIERE, Loic; LIMA, Camila R.; DANTAS JR., Roberto N.; NOMURA, Cesar H.; SALEMI, Vera M. C.; JEROSCH-HEROLD, Michael; PARGA, Jose R.
    Aims From pathophysiological mechanisms to risk stratification and management, much debate and discussion persist regarding left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC). This study aimed to characterize myocardial T1 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) fraction by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), and investigate how these biomarkers relate to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and ventricular arrhythmias (VA) in LVNC. Methods and results Patients with LVNC (n = 36) and healthy controls (n = 18) were enrolled to perform a CMR with T1 mapping. ECV was quantified in LV segments without late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) areas to investigate diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Patients with LVNC had slightly higher native T1 (1024 +/- 43ms vs. 995 +/- 22 ms, P = 0.01) and substantially expanded ECV (28.0 +/- 4.5% vs. 23.5 +/- 2.2%, P < 0.001) compared to controls. The ECV was independently associated with LVEF (beta = -1.3, P = 0.001). Among patients without LGE, VAs were associated with higher ECV (27.7% with VA vs. 25.8% without VA, P = 0.002). Conclusion In LVNC, tissue characterization by T1 mapping suggests an extracellular expansion by diffuse fibrosis in myocardium without LGE, which was associated with myocardial dysfunction and VA, but not with the amount of noncompacted myocardium.

    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.

    The descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery is a good option in CABG with arterial grafts
    (2013) GAIOTTO, Fabio Antonio; VIANNA, Caio B.; BUSNARDO, Fabio F.; PARGA, Jose R.; DALLAN, Luis Alberto de Oliveira; CESAR, Luis A. M.; STOLF, Noedir A. G.; JATENE, Fabio B.
    Introduction: The descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery is an option for coronary artery bypass grafting. Objective: To evaluate the early patency and adaptation of lumen diameter using multidetector computed angiotomography. Methods: Thirty-two patients were selected to undergo coronary artery bypass grafting using the descending branch of the lateral circumflex artery, the internal thoracic artery, and other grafts. Evaluations were carried out through high resolution computed tomography performed on the 7th and 90th postoperative day. Diameters of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex artery and the left internal thoracic artery were measured 3 cm before the distal anastomosis, in the middle portion, and 3 cm after the proximal anastomosis. Diameters were compared using paired t-test (P<0.05). Results: Descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery wDescending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery was used in 26 patients, as its use was not viable in six patients (18%). It was used as composite graft in all cases. The anterior descending branch was revascularized by the left internal thoracic artery in all cases. Patency rates of the descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery were 96% and 92%, respectively. No occlusions were observed in the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) and no ischemic events were observed in the descending branch of the lateral circumflex. Descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery increased the lumen diameter in the middle (P=0.001) and distal portions (P=0.006); the left internal thoracic artery (LITA) increased in the middle portion (P=0.001). Conclusion: Similar to the left internal thoracic artery, the descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery showed high patency rate and positive luminal adaptation. This early evaluation confirms the descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery as a potential alternative for grafting. Due to anatomical variations, preoperative femoral angiographic evaluation appears to be mandatory.
