L. de; FERNANDES, Joao Ricardo C.; ACCORSI, Tarso A. D.; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo M. A.; RODES-CABAU, Josep; PIBAROT, Philippe; TARASOUTCHI, FlavioBackground: Few data exist on the degree of interstitial myocardial fibrosis in patients with classical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG-AS) and its association with left ventricular flow reserve (FR) on dobutamine stress echocardiography. This study sought to evaluate the diffuse interstitial fibrosis measured by T1 mapping cardiac magnetic resonance technique in LFLG-AS patients with and without FR. Methods: Prospective study including 65 consecutive patients (41 LFLG-AS [mean age, 67.1 +/- 8.4 years; 83% men] and 24 high-gradient aortic stenosis used as controls) undergoing dobutamine stress echocardiography to assess FR and cardiac magnetic resonance to determine the extracellular volume (ECV) fraction of the myocardium, indexed ECV (iECV) to body surface area and late gadolinium enhancement. Results: Interstitial myocardial fibrosis measured by iECV was higher in patients with LFLG-AS with and without FR as compared with high-gradient aortic stenosis (35.25 +/- 9.75 versus 32.93 +/- 11.00 versus 21.19 +/- 6.47 mL/m(2), respectively; P<0.001). However, both ECV and iECV levels were similar between LFLG-AS patients with and without FR (P=0.950 and P=0.701, respectively). Also, FR did not correlate significantly with ECV (r=-0.16, P=0.31) or iECV (r=0.11, P=0.51). Late gadolinium enhancement mass was also similar in patients with versus without FR but lower in high-gradient aortic stenosis (13.3 +/- 10.2 versus 10.5 +/- 7.5 versus 4.8 +/- 5.9 g, respectively; P=0.018). Conclusions: Patients with LFLG-AS have higher ECV, iECV, and late gadolinium enhancement mass compared with high-gradient aortic stenosis. Moreover, among patients with LFLG-AS, the degree of myocardial fibrosis was similar in patients with versus those without FR. These findings suggest that diffuse myocardial fibrosis may not be the main factor responsible for the absence of FR in LFLG-AS patients.

C.; JR, Wilson Mathias; FERNANDES, Joao Ricardo Cordeiro; SANTIS, Antonio de; SANTOS, Luciano de Moura; ROCHITTE, Carlos E.; CAPODANNO, Davide; TAMBURINO, Corrado; ABIZAID, Alexandre; TARASOUTCHI, FlavioObjectivesThe aim of the present study is to assess multimodality imaging findings according to systemic biomarkers, high-sensitivity troponin I (hsTnI) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, in low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG-AS).BackgroundElevated levels of BNP and hsTnI have been related with poor prognosis in patients with LFLG-AS.MethodsProspective study with LFLG-AS patients that underwent hsTnI, BNP, coronary angiography, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with T1 mapping, echocardiogram and dobutamine stress echocardiogram. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to BNP and hsTnI levels: Group 1 (n = 17) when BNP and hsTnI levels were below median [BNP < 1.98 fold upper reference limit (URL) and hsTnI < 1.8 fold URL]; Group 2 (n = 14) when BNP or hsTnI were higher than median; and Group 3 (n = 18) when both hsTnI and BNP were higher than median.Results49 patients included in 3 groups. Clinical characteristics (including risk scores) were similar among groups. Group 3 patients had lower valvuloarterial impedance (P = 0.03) and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (P = 0.02) by echocardiogram. CMR identified a progressive increase of right and left ventricular chamber from Group 1 to Group 3, and worsening of left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) (40 [31-47] vs. 32 [29-41] vs. 26 [19-33]%; p < 0.01) and right ventricular EF (62 [53-69] vs. 51 [35-63] vs. 30 [24-46]%; p < 0.01). Besides, there was a marked increase in myocardial fibrosis assessed by extracellular volume fraction (ECV) (28.4 [24.8-30.7] vs. 28.2 [26.9-34.5] vs. 31.8 [28.9-35.5]%; p = 0.03) and indexed ECV (iECV) (28.7 [21.2-39.1] vs. 28.8 [25.4-39.9] vs. 44.2 [36.4-51.2] ml/m(2), respectively; p < 0.01) from Group 1 to Group 3.ConclusionsHigher levels of BNP and hsTnI in LFLG-AS patients are associated with worse multi-modality evidence of cardiac remodeling and fibrosis.
- Postoperative myocardial fibrosis assessment in aortic valvular heart diseases-a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study(2023) PIRES, Lucas T.; ROSA, Vitor E. E.; MORAIS, Thamara C.; BELLO, Juliana H. S. M.; FERNANDES, Joao R. C.; SANTIS, Antonio de; LOPES, Mariana P.; GUTIERREZ, Paulo S.; ROCHITTE, Carlos E.; NOMURA, Cesar H.; POMERANTZEFF, Pablo M. A.; SAMPAIO, Roney O.; TARASOUTCHI, FlavioAims Left ventricular remodelling occurs during the chronic course of aortic regurgitation (AR) and aortic stenosis (AS), leading to myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis. Several studies have shown that extracellular volume fraction (ECV) and indexed extracellular volume (iECV) are important surrogate markers of diffuse myocardial fibrosis (MF). Postoperative data on these cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) extracellular expansion parameters for either AS or AR are scarce. This study aimed to demonstrate the postoperative changes that occur in diffuse MF, and the influence of preoperative MF on the reversal of LV remodelling, in patients with AR or AS. Methods and results Patients with severe AR or AS and indications for surgery were prospectively enrolled. Patients underwent pre- and postoperative CMR, and ECV and iECV were quantified. Data from 99 patients were analysed (32 with AR and 67 with AS). After surgery, the left ventricle mass index decreased in both groups (AR: 110 vs. 91 g/m(2); AS: 86 vs. 68 g/m(2), both P < 0.001). The late gadolinium enhancement fraction (AR: preoperative 1.9% vs. postoperative 1.7%, P = 0.575; AS: preoperative 2.4% vs. postoperative 2.4%, P = 0.615) and late gadolinium enhancement mass (AR: preoperative 3.8 g vs. postoperative 2.5 g, P = 0.635; AS: preoperative 3.4 g vs. postoperative 3.5 g, P = 0.575) remained stable in both groups. Preoperative iECV and ECV were greater in the AR group (iECV: 30 mL/m(2) vs. 22 mL/m(2), P = 0.001; ECV: 28.4% vs. 27.2%, P = 0.048). Indexed extracellular volume decreased after surgery in both groups (AR: 30-26.5 mL/m(2), AS: 22-18.2 mL/m(2), both P < 0.001); it was still greater in the AR group (AR: 26.5 mL/m(2) vs. AS: 18.2 mL/m(2), P < 0.001). Postoperative ECV remained stable in the AR group (preoperative 28.4% vs. postoperative 29.9%; P = 0.617) and increased in the AS group (preoperative 27.2% vs. postoperative 28.6%; P = 0.033). Conclusion Patients with both AR or AS presented reduction in iECV after surgery, unfolding the reversible nature of diffuse MF. In contrast to patients with AS, those with AR developed postoperative iECV regression with stable ECV, suggesting a balanced reduction in both intracellular and extracellular myocardial components.
