- Prognostic Value of Coronary and Microvascular Flow Reserve in Patients with Nonischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy(2013) LIMA, Marta F.; MATHIAS JR., Wilson; SBANO, Joao C. N.; CRUZ, Victoria Yezinia de la; ABDUCH, Maria Cristina; LIMA, Marcio S. M.; BOCCHI, Edmar A.; HAJJAR, Ludhmila A.; RAMIRES, Jose A. F.; KALIL FILHO, Roberto; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.Background: Coronary and microvascular blood flow reserve have been established as important predictors of prognosis in patients with cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to assess the value of coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) and real-time myocardial perfusion echocardiography (RTMPE) for predicting events in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Methods: One hundred ninety-five patients (mean age 54 +/- 12 years; 66% men) with dilated cardiomyopathy (left ventricular ejection fraction < 35% and no obstructive coronary disease on invasive angiography or multi-detector computed tomography) who underwent dipyridamole stress (0.84 mg/kg over 10 min) RTMPE were prospectively studied. CFVR was calculated as the ratio of hyperemic to baseline peak diastolic velocities in the distal left anterior coronary artery. The replenishment velocity (beta), plateau of acoustic intensity (A(N)), and myocardial blood flow reserve were obtained from RTMPE. Results: Mean CFVR was 2.07 +/- 0.52, mean A(N) reserve was 1.05 +/- 0.09, mean beta reserve was 2.05 +/- 0.39, and mean myocardial blood flow reserve (A(N) x beta) was 2.15 +/- 0.48. During a median follow-up period of 29 months, 45 patients had events (43 deaths and two urgent transplantations). Independent predictors of events were left atrial diameter (relative risk, 1.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-1.26; P < .001) and beta reserve <= 2.0 (relative risk, 3.22; 95% confidence interval, 1.18-8.79; P < .001). After adjustment for beta reserve, CFVR and myocardial blood flow reserve no longer had predictive value. Left atrial diameter added prognostic value over clinical factors and left ventricular ejection fraction (chi(2) = 36.8-58.5, P < .001). Beta reserve added additional power to the model (chi(2) = 70.2, P < .001). Conclusions: Increased left atrial diameter and depressed beta reserve were independent predictors of cardiac death and transplantation in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Beta reserve by RTMPE provided incremental predictive value beyond that provided by current known prognostic clinical and echocardiographic factors. (J Am Soc Echocardiogr 2013;26:278-87.)

Mike- Influence of Physical Training after a Myocardial Infarction on Left Ventricular Contraction Mechanics(2023) LIMA, Marcio Silva Miguel; DALCOQUIO, Talia Falcao; ABDUCH, Maria Cristina Donadio; TSUTSUI, Jeane Mike; MATHIAS, Wilson; NICOLAU, Jose CarlosBackground: Exercise plays a positive role in the course of the ischemic heart disease, enhancing functional capacity and preventing ventricular remodeling.Objective: To investigate the impact of exercise on left ventricular (LV) contraction mechanics after an uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods: A total of 53 patients was included, 27 of whom were randomized to a supervised training program (TRAINING group), and 26 to a CONTROL group, who received usual recommendations on physical exercise after AMI. All patients underwent cardiopulmonary stress testing and a speckle tracking echocardiography to measure several parameters of LV contraction mechanics at one month and five months after AMI. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant in the comparisons of the variables.Results: No significant difference was found in the analysis of LV longitudinal, radial and circumferential strain parameters between groups after the training period. After the training program, analysis of torsional mechanics demonstrated a reduction in the LV basal rotation in the TRAINING group in comparison to the CONTROL group (5.9 +/- 2.3 vs. 7.5 +/- 2.9o; p=0.03), and in the basal rotational velocity (53.6 +/- 18.4 vs.68.8 +/- 22.1 degrees/s; p=0.01), twist velocity (127.4 +/- 32.2 vs. 149.9 +/- 35.9 degrees/s; p=0.02) and torsion (2.4 +/- 0.4 vs. 2.8 +/- 0.8 degrees/cm; p=0.02).Conclusions: Physical activity did not cause a significant improvement in LV longitudinal, radial and circumferential deformation parameters. However, the exercise had a significant impact on the LV torsional mechanics, consisting of a reduction in basal rotation, twist velocity, torsion and torsional velocity which can be interpreted as a ventricular ""torsion reserve"" in this population.
- Cardiac shock wave therapy improves myocardial perfusion and preserves left ventricular mechanics in patients with refractory angina: A study with speckle tracking echocardiography(2018) DUQUE, Anderson S.; CECCON, Conrado L.; JR, Wilson Mathias; MAJESKY, Joana Diniz; GOWDAK, Luis H.; SBANO, Joao C. N.; CESAR, Luis Antonio Machado; ABDUCH, Maria Cristina; LIMA, Marcio S. M.; DOURADO, Paulo M. M.; V, Cecilia B. B. Cruz; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.BackgroundCardiac shockwave therapy (CSWT) is a new potential option for the treatment of patients with chronic coronary disease and refractory angina (RA). We aimed to study the effects of CSWT on left ventricular myocardial perfusion and mechanics in patients with RA. MethodWe prospectively studied 19 patients who underwent CSWT. Left ventricular mechanics were evaluated by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), and myocardial perfusion by single-photon emission computed tomography, using stress/rest-Technetium-99m Sestamibi, for determination of summed stress score (SSS). Canadian Cardiac Society (CCS), New York Heart Association (NYHA), and quality of life by Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) were assessed at baseline and 6months after therapy. ResultsCSWT therapy was applied without major side effects. At baseline, 18 patients (94.7%) had CCS class III or IV, and after CSWT there was reduction to 3 (15.8%), P=.0001, associated with improvement in SAQ (38.5%; P<.001). Thirteen (68.4%) had class NYHA III or IV before treatment, with significant reduction to 7 (36.8%); P=.014. No change was observed in the global SSS from baseline to 6-month follow-up (15.338.60 vs 16.60 +/- 8.06; P=.157). However, there was a significant reduction in the average SSS of the treated ischemic segments (2.1 +/- 0.87 pre vs 1.6 +/- 1.19 post CSWT; P=.024). Global longitudinal strain by STE remained unaltered (-13.03 +/- 8.96 pre vs -15.88 +/- 3.43 6-month post CSWT; P=.256). ConclusionCSWT is a safe procedure for the treatment of patients with RA that results in better quality of life, improvement in myocardial perfusion of the treated segments with preservation of left ventricular mechanics.
- 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.

bookPart Twist e Torção(2015) ABDUCH, Maria Cristina Donadio; LIMA, Márcio Silva Miguel- Global Longitudinal Strain or Left Ventricular Twist and Torsion? Which Correlates Best with Ejection Fraction?(2017) LIMA, Marcio Silva Miguel; VILLARRAGA, Hector R.; ABDUCH, Maria Cristina Donadio; LIMA, Marta Fernandes; CRUZ, Cecilia Beatriz Bittencourt Viana; SBANO, Joao Cesar Nunes; VOOS, Mariana Callil; MATHIAS JUNIOR, Wilson; TSUTSUI, Jeane MikeBackground: Estimative of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a major indication for echocardiography. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) allows analysis of LV contraction mechanics which includes global longitudinal strain (GLS) and twist/torsion, both the most widely used. Direct comparison of correlations between these novel parameters and LVEF has never been done before. Objective: This study aims to check which one has the highest correlation with LVEF. Methods: Patients with normal LVEF (> 0,55) and systolic dysfunction (LVEF < 0,55) were prospectively enrolled, and underwent echocardiogram with STE analysis. Correlation of variables was performed by linear regression analysis. In addition, correlation among levels of LV systolic impairment was also tested. Results: A total of 131 patients were included (mean age, 46 +/- 14y; 43%, men). LVEF and GLS showed a strong correlation (r = 0.95; r(2) = 0.89; p < 0.001), more evident in groups with LV systolic dysfunction than those with preserved LVEF. Good correlation was also found with global longitudinal strain rate (r = 0.85; r(2) = 0.73; p < 0.001). Comparing to GLS, correlation of LVEF and torsional mechanics was weaker: twist (r = 0.78; r(2) = 0.60; p < 0.001); torsion (r = 0.75; r(2) = 0.56; p < 0.001). Conclusion: GLS of the left ventricle have highly strong positive correlation with the classical parameter of ejection fraction, especially in cases with LV systolic impairment. Longitudinal strain rate also demonstrated a good correlation. GLS increments analysis of LV systolic function. On the other hand, although being a cornerstone of LV mechanics, twist and torsion have a weaker correlation with LV ejection, comparing to GLS.
- Usefulness of speckle tracking echocardiography and biomarkers for detecting acute cellular rejection after heart transplantation(2021) CRUZ, Cecilia Beatriz Bittencourt Viana; HAJJAR, Ludhmila A.; BACAL, Fernando; LOFRANO-ALVES, Marco S.; LIMA, Marcio S. M.; ABDUCH, Maria C.; VIERA, Marcelo L. C.; CHIANG, Hsu P.; SALVIANO, Juliana B. C.; COSTA, Isabela Bispo Santos da Silva; FUKUSHIMA, Julia Tizue; SBANO, Joao C. N.; JR, Wilson Mathias; TSUTSUI, Jeane M.Background: Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is a major complication after heart transplantation. Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) remains the gold standard for its diagnosis, but it has concerning complications. We evaluated the usefulness of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and biomarkers for detecting ACR after heart transplantation. Methods: We prospectively studied 60 transplant patients with normal left and right ventricular systolic function who underwent EMB for surveillance 6 months after transplantation. Sixty age- and sex-matched healthy individuals constituted the control group. Conventional echocardiographic parameters, left ventricular global longitudinal, radial and circumferential strain (LV-GLS, LV-GRS and LV-GCS, respectively), left ventricular systolic twist (LV-twist) and right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (RV-FWLS) were analyzed just before the procedure. We also measured biomarkers at the same moment. Results: Among the 60 studied patients, 17 (28%) had severe ACR (grade >= 2R), and 43 (72%) had no significant ACR (grade 0 - 1R). The absolute values of LV-GLS, LV-twist and RV-FWLS were lower in transplant patients with ACR degree >= 2 R than in those without ACR (12.5% +/- 2.9% vs 14.8% +/- 2.3%, p=0.002; 13.9 degrees +/- 4.8 degrees vs 17.1 degrees +/- 3.2 degrees, p=0.048; 16.6% +/- 2.9% vs 21.4%+/- 3.2%, p < 0.001; respectively), while no differences were observed between the LV-GRS or LV-GCS. All of these parameters were lower in the transplant group without ACR than in the nontransplant control group, except for the LV-twist. Cardiac troponin I levels were significantly higher in patients with significant ACR than in patients without significant ACR [0.19 ng/mL (0.09-1.31) vs 0.05 ng/mL (0.01-0.18), p=0.007]. The combination of troponin with LV-GLS, RV-FWLS and LV-Twist had an area under curve for the detection of ACR of 0.80 (0.68-0.92), 0.89 (0.81-0.93) and 0.79 (0.66-0.92), respectively. Conclusion: Heart transplant patients have altered left ventricular dynamics compared with control individuals. The combination of troponin with strain parameters had higher accuracy for the detection of ACR than the isolated variables and this association might select patients with a higher risk for ACR who will benefit from an EMB procedure in the first year after heart transplantation.
