Our study aimed to comprehensively explore efficient prognostic indicators in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF40%).Prognostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR) parameters for IDCM have been inconsistent.126 IDCM patients with reduced LVEF (40%) were retrospectively enrolled. Cardiac function parameters, myocardial strain indices and myocardial fibrosis were evaluated. Laboratory data also were analyzed. The endpoint was a combination of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), including cardiac death, heart transplantation, and rehospitalization. Prognostic value was evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression.During a median follow-up of 31 months, 44 patients experienced MACEs, including 9 deaths, 1 heart transplantation, and 34 rehospitalizations due to heart failure. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses showed that cardiac function and myocardial strain indexes were not associated with the prognosis of IDCM (all p0.05). NT-proBNP (HR 1.5, 95%CI: 1.053 to 2.137), Late‑gadolinium enhancement(LGE) mass (HR 1.022, 95%CI: 1.005 to 1.038), and LGE mass/left ventricle mass were significant predictors (HR 1.027, 95%CI: 1.007 to 1.046) for MACEs, all p 0.05. Besides, poorest prognosis was observed in IDCM patients with positive LGE combined with NT-proBNP (log-rank = 27.261, p ≤ 0.001).NT-proBNP and extent of LGE were reliable predictors in IDCM patients with reduced LVEF. Additionally, presence of LGE combined with NT-proBNP showed the strongest prognostic value in IDCM with reduced LVEF. Myocardial strain parameters seemed to have no prognostic value in IDCM patients with reduced LVEF.

Background Diabetes mellitus-related cardiomyopathy has recently been described as a distinct progression of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Pathological changes in the myocardium may explain the development of two different phenotypes. We evaluated the effects of LV geometry, myocardial microcirculation, and tissue characteristics on cardiac deformation in patients with subclinical type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) utilizing multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. Methods A total of 135 T2DM patients and 55 matched controls were prospectively enrolled and performed multiparametric CMR examination. CMR-derived parameters including cardiac geometry, function, microvascular perfusion, T1 mapping, T2 mapping, and strain were analyzed and compared between T2DM patients and controls. Results The univariable and multivariable analysis of systolic and diastolic function revealed that longer duration of diabetes was associated with decreased longitudinal peak systolic strain rate (PSSR-L) (β = 0.195, p = .013), and higher remodeling index and higher extracellular volume (ECV) tended to correlate with decreased longitudinal peak diastolic strain rate (PDSR-L) (remodeling index, β = −0.339, p = .000; ECV, β = −0.172, p = .026), whereas microvascular perfusion index and T2 value affected both PSSR-L (perfusion index, β = −0.328, p = .000; T2 value, β = 0.306, p = .000) and PDSR-L (perfusion index, β = 0.209, p = .004; T2 value, β = −0.275, p = .000) simultaneously. Conclusions The LV concentric remodeling and myocardial fibrosis correlated with diastolic function, and perfusion function and myocardial edema were associated with both LV systolic and diastolic function.

To quantify the global and regional left ventricular (LV) myocardial strain in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) tissue-tracking techniques and to determine the ability of myocardial strain parameters to assessment the LV deformation. Our study included 98 adult T2DM patients (preserved LV ejection fraction [LVEF], 72; reduced LVEF, 26) and 35 healthy controls. Conventional LV function, volume-time curve parameters and LV remodeling index were measured using CMR. Global and regional LV myocardial strain parameters were measured using CMR tissue tracking and compared between the different sub-groups. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to assess the diagnostic accuracy. Regression analyses were conducted to determine the relationship between strain parameters and the LV remodeling index. The results show that global radial peak strain (PS) and circumferential PS were not significantly different between the preserved-LVEF group and control group (P > 0.05). However, longitudinal PS was significantly lower in the preserved-LVEF group than in the control group (P = 0.005). Multivariate linear and logistic regression analyses showed that global longitudinal PS was independently associated (β = 0.385, P

Background The microvascular effects of obesity should be considered in diabetic individuals for elucidating underlying mechanisms and developing targeted therapies. This study aims to determine the effect of obesity on myocardial microvascular function in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) first-pass perfusion imaging and assessed significant risk factors for microvascular dysfunction. Materials and methods Between September 2016 and May 2018, 120 patients with T2DM (45.8% women [55 of 120]; mean age, 56.45 ± 11.97 years) and 79 controls (44.3% women [35 of 79]; mean age, 54.50 ± 7.79 years) with different body mass index (BMI) scales were prospectively enrolled and underwent CMR examination. CMR-derived perfusion parameters, including upslope, time to maximum signal intensity (TTM), maximum signal intensity (MaxSI), MaxSI (-baseline), and SI (baseline), and T2DM related risk factors were analyzed among groups/subgroups both in T2DM patients and controls. Univariable and multivariable linear and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the potential additive effect of obesity on microvascular dysfunction in diabetic individuals. Results Compared with controls with comparable BMIs, patients with T2DM showed reduced upslope and MaxSI and increased TTM. For both T2DM and control subgroups, perfusion function gradually declined with increasing BMI, which was confirmed by all perfusion parameters, except for TTM (all P P P P = 0.022) and glycated haemoglobin (β = − 0.184; 95% CI, − 0.281 to − 0.039; P = 0.010) were significantly associated with global upslope in the T2DM group. Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that T2DM was an independent predictor of microvascular dysfunction in normal-weight (odds ratio[OR], 6.46; 95% CI, 2.08 to 20.10; P = 0.001), overweight (OR, 7.19; 95% CI, 1.67 to 31.07; P = 0.008) and obese participants (OR, 11.21; 95% CI, 2.38 to 52.75; P = 0.002). Conclusions Myocardial microvascular function gradually declined with increasing BMI in both diabetes and non-diabetes status. T2DM was associated with an increased risk of microvascular dysfunction, and obesity exacerbated the adverse effect of T2DM.

Background Progressive cardiomyopathy accounts for almost all mortality among Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. Thus, our aim was to comprehensively characterize myocardial involvement by investigating the heterogeneity of native T1 mapping in DMD patients using global and regional (including segmental and layer-specific) analysis across a large cohort. Methods We prospectively enrolled 99 DMD patients (8.8 ± 2.5 years) and 25 matched male healthy controls (9.5 ± 2.5 years). All subjects underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with cine, T1 mapping and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) sequences. Native T1 values based on the global and regional myocardium were measured, and LGE was defined. Results LGE was present in 49 (49%) DMD patients. Global native T1 values were significantly longer in LGE-positive (LGE +) patients than in healthy controls, both in basal slices (1304 ± 55 vs. 1246 ± 27 ms, p Conclusions Myocardial regional native T1, particularly epicardial native T1, seems to have potential as a novel robust marker of very early cardiac involvement in DMD patients.

To investigate the association between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and myocardial dysfunction and to determine whether its association is independent of myocardial perfusion.Sixty-four patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were recruited. They were divided into groups according to their HbA1c level: the controlled T2DM group (HbA1c 7%) and uncontrolled T2DM groups (HbA1c ≥ 7%). Meanwhile, 30 age-matched healthy volunteers were included. All patients with T2DM and healthy controls underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate the myocardial mechanics and perfusion parameters.The circumferential and longitudinal peak strain (PS) (p = 0.009 and 0.002 respectively) and global radial, circumferential, and longitudinal peak strain diastolic strain rates (PDSRs) (p = 0.002, 0.001, and 0.001 respectively) were lower in the uncontrolled T2DM group than in the controls without diabetes. In multivariable linear regression analysis, HbA1c was independently related to all directions of the PS and PDSR. The myocardial perfusion parameters were not independently associated with the PS or PDSR.Cardiac function is impaired in Chinese T2DM patients with poor glucose control (HbA1c ≥ 7%), with preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, and disease duration10 years. Poor blood glucose control is an independent predictor of LV myocardial dysfunction for patients with short-term T2DM.

Objectives: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a major public health emergency. It poses a grave threat to human life and health. The purpose of the study is to investigate the chest CT findings and progression of the disease observed in COVID-19 patients. Methods: Forty-nine confirmed cases of adult COVID-19 patients with common type, severe and critically severe type were included in this retrospective single-center study. The thin-section chest CT features and progress of the disease were evaluated. The clinical and chest imaging findings of COVID-19 patients with different severity types were compared. The CT severity score and MuLBSTA score (a prediction of mortality risk) were calculated in those patients. Results: Among the 49 patients, 35 patients (71%) were common type and 14 patients (28%) were severe and critically severe type. Nearly all patients (98%) had pure ground-glass opacities (GGO) in CT imaging. Of the severe and critically severe type patients, 86% exhibited GGO with consolidation, in comparison with 54% of the patients with common type. Fibrosis presented in 79% of the severe and critically severe type patients and 43% of the common type patients. The severe and critically severe type patients were significantly more prone to experience five-lobe involvement compared to the common type patients (p = 0.002). The severe and critically severe type patients also had higher CT severity and MuLBSTA scores than the common type patients (5.43 ± 2.38 vs 3.37 ± 2.40, p < 0.001;and 10.21 ± 3.83 vs 4.63 ± 3.43, p < 0.001, respectively). MuLBSTA score was positively correlated with admittance to the intensive care unit (p = 0.005, r = 0.351). Nineteen patients underwent three times CT scan. The interval between first and second CT scan was 4[4,8] days, second and third was 3[2,4] days. There were greater improvements in the third CT follow-up findings compared to the second (p = 0.002). Conclusions: The severe and critically severe type patients often experienced more severe lung lesions, including GGO with consolidation. The CT severity score and MuLBSTA score may be helpful for the assessment of COVID-19 severity and progression. Advances in knowledge: Chest CT has the value of evaluated radiographical features of COVID-19 and allow for dynamic observation of the disease progression. Considering coagulation disorder of COVID-19, MuLBSTA score may need to be updated to increase new understanding of COVID-19.

Objective We aimed to comprehensively determine the effects of hypertension on left ventricular (LV) structure, microcirculation, tissue characteristics, and deformation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. Methods We prospectively enrolled 138 asymptomatic patients with T2DM (80 normotensive and 58 hypertensive individuals) and 42 normal glucose-tolerant and normotensive controls and performed multiparametric CMR examination to assess cardiac geometry, microvascular perfusion, extracellular volume (ECV), and strain. Univariable and multivariable linear analysis was performed to analyze the effect of hypertension on LV deformation in patients with T2DM. Results Compared with controls, patients with T2DM exhibited decreased strain, decreased microvascular perfusion, increased LV remodeling index, and increased ECV. Hypertension lead to greater deterioration of LV strain (peak strain-radial, P = 0.002; peak strain-longitudinal, P = 0.006) and LV remodeling index (P = 0.005) in patients with T2DM after adjustment for covariates; however, it did not affect microvascular perfusion (perfusion index, P = 0.469) and ECV (P = 0.375). In multivariable analysis, hypertension and diabetes were independent predictors of reduced LV strain, whereas hypertension is associated with greater impairment of diastolic function (P = 0.009) but not systolic function (P = 0.125) in the context of diabetes, independent of clinical factors and myocardial disorder. Conclusion Hypertension in the context of diabetes is significantly associated with LV diastolic function and concentric remodeling; however, it has little effect on systolic function, myocardial microcirculation, or fibrosis independent of covariates, which provide clinical evidence for understanding the pathogenesis of comorbidities and explaining the development of distinct heart failure phenotypes.

Background Increasing studies demonstrated that the cardiac involvements are related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Thus, we investigated the clinical characteristics of patients with COVID‐19 and further determined the risk factors for cardiac involvement in them. Methods and Results We analyzed data from 102 consecutive laboratory‐confirmed and hospitalized patients with COVID‐19 (52 women aged 19–87 years). Epidemiologic and demographic characteristics, clinical features, routine laboratory tests (including cardiac injury biomarkers), echocardiography, electrocardiography, chest imaging findings, management methods, and clinical outcomes were collected. Patients were divided into acute cardiac injury, with and without cardiac marker abnormities groups according to different level of cardiac markers. In this research, cardiac involvement was found in 72 of the 102 (70.6%) patients: tachycardia (n=20), electrocardiography abnormalities (n=23), echocardiography abnormalities (n=59), elevated myocardial enzymes (n=55), and acute cardiac injury (n=9). Eight patients with acute cardiac injury were aged >60 years; seven of them had ≥2 underlying comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic kidney disease). Novel coronavirus pneumonia was much more severe in the patients with acute cardiac injury than in patients with nondefinite acute cardiac injury ( P Conclusions Cardiac involvements are common in patients with COVID‐19. Elevated CRP levels, old age, underlying comorbidities, and novel coronavirus pneumonia severity are the main risk factors for cardiac involvement in patients with COVID‐19. More attention should be given to cardiovascular protection during COVID‐19 treatment for mortality reduction. Registration URL: https://www.chictr.org ; Unique identifier: ChiCTR2000029955.

Background: Despite an increase in the familiarity of the medical community with the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there is presently a lack of rapid and effective risk stratification indicators to predict the poor clinical outcomes of COVID-19 especially in severe patients. Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, we included 117 cases confirmed with COVID-19. The clinical, laboratory, and imaging features were collected and analyzed during admission. The Multi-lobular infiltration, hypo-Lymphocytosis, Bacterial coinfection, Smoking history, hyper-Tension and Age (MuLBSTA) Score and Confusion, Urea, Respiratory rate, Blood pressure, Age 65 (CURB65) score were used to assess the death and intensive care unit (ICU) risks in all patients. Results: Among of all 117 hospitalized patients, 21 (17.9%) patients were admitted to the ICU care, and 5 (4.3%) patients were died. The median hospital stay was 12 (10–15) days. There were 18 patients with MuLBSTA score ≥ 12 points and were all of severe type. In severe type, ICU care and death patients, the proportion with MuLBSTA ≥ 12 points were greater than that of CURB65 score ≥ 3 points (severe type patients, 50 vs. 27.8%; ICU care, 61.9 vs. 19.0%; death, 100 vs. 40%). For the MuLBSTA score, the ROC curve showed good efficiency of diagnosis death (area under the curve [AUC], 0.956; cutoff value, 12; specificity, 89.5%; sensitivity, 100%) and ICU care (AUC, 0.875; cutoff value, 11; specificity, 91.7%; sensitivity, 71.4%). The K–M survival analysis showed that patients with MuLBSTA score ≥ 12 had higher risk of ICU (log-rank, P = 0.001) and high risk of death (log-rank, P = 0.000). Conclusions: The MuLBSTA score is valuable for risk stratification and could effectively screen high-risk patients at admission. The higher score at admission have higher risk of ICU care and death in patients infected with COVID.

BackgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities that collectively cause an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and nonatherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to evaluate the role of myocardial steatosis in T2DM patients with or without MetS, as well as the relationship between subclinical left ventricular (LV) myocardial dysfunction and myocardial steatosis.Methods and materialsWe recruited 53 T2DM patients and 20 healthy controls underwent cardiac magnetic resonance examination. All T2DM patients were subdivide into two group: MetS group and non-MetS. LV deformation, perfusion parameters and myocardial triglyceride (TG) content were measured and compared among these three groups. Pearson’s and Spearman analysis were performed to investigate the correlation between LV cardiac parameters and myocardial steatosis. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was performed to illustrate the relationship between myocardial steatosis and LV subclinical myocardial dysfunction.ResultsAn increase in myocardial TG content was found in the MetS group compared with that in the other groups (MetS vs. non-MetS: 1.54 ± 0.63% vs. 1.16 ± 0.45%; MetS vs. normal: 1.54 ± 0.63% vs. 0.61 ± 0.22%; all p ConclusionMyocardial TG content increased in T2DM patients with concurrent MetS. Myocardial steatosis was positively associated with decreased myocardial deformation and perfusion dysfunction, which may be an indicator for predicting diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Background: Diabetic cardiomyopathy is accompanied by left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Abnormal glucose metabolism plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, it’s still not clear whether the influence of hyperglycemia on LV dysfunction is directly affects cardiomyocytes or is related to impaired myocardial perfusion. In this work, we focus on investigating the association between HbA1c and myocardial dysfunction, and if it is independent of myocardial perfusion reserve. Materials and Methods: 64 type 2 diabetic patients were recruited at the endocrine clinic. They are divided into two group, well blood glucose-controlled group (HbA1c Results: Well blood glucose-controlled group owned lower global circumferential PSSR than NGM group (p=0.037). Global circumferential PS (p=0.011), global longitudinal PS (p=0.004), global radial PDSR (p=0.005), circumferential PDSR (p=0.001), longitudinal PDSR (p=0.001), global circumferential PSSR (p=0.049), longitudinal PSSR (p=0.041) were significantly lower in the poor glucose-controlled group compared to the NGM group. In the multivariable linear regression analysis, HbA1c existed in all equations except the global circumferential PSSR equation and p Conclusion: In subclinical cardiac dysfunction T2DM patients, diastolic dysfunction is more common, but systolic dysfunction is still exist. Poor blood glucose control which is defined as HbA1c ≥ 7% is an independent risk factor for LV deformation for T2DM patients. Subclinical myocardial dysfunction is not triggered by myocardial perfusion reserve.

BackgroundSince December 2019, more than 100,000 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients have been confirmed globally based on positive viral nucleic acids with real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). However, the association between clinical, laboratory and CT characteristics and RT-PCR results is still unclear. We sought to examine this association in detail, especially in recovered patients.MethodsWe analysed data from 52 confirmed patients who had been discharged with COVID-19. The clinical, laboratory, and radiological data were dynamically recorded and compared with the admission and follow-up RT-PCR results.ResultsIn this cohort, 52 admitted COVID-19 patients who had confirmed positive RT-PCR results were discharged after 2 rounds of consecutively negative RT-PCR results. Compared with admission levels, CRP levels (median 4.93 mg/L [IQR: 1.78-10.20]) decreased significantly (p0.05).ConclusionHeterogeneity between CT features and RT-PCR results was found in COVID-19, especially in some recovered patients with negative RT-PCR results. Our study highlights that both RT-PCR and chest CT should be considered as the key determinants for the diagnosis and management of COVID-19 patients.

BackgroundSince the outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China, respiratory manifestations of the disease have been observed. However, as a fatal comorbidity, acute myocardial injury (AMI) in COVID-19 patients has not been previously investigated in detail. We investigated the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 patients with AMI and determined the risk factors for AMI in them.MethodsWe analyzed data from 53 consecutive laboratory-confirmed and hospitalized COVID-19 patients (28 men, 25 women; age, 19–81 years). We collected information on epidemiological and demographic characteristics, clinical features, routine laboratory tests (including cardiac injury biomarkers), echocardiography, electrocardiography, imaging findings, management methods, and clinical outcomes.ResultsCardiac complications were found in 42 of the 53 (79.25%) patients: tachycardia (n=15), electrocardiography abnormities (n=11), diastolic dysfunction (n=20), elevated myocardial enzymes (n=30), and AMI (n=6). All the six AMI patients were aged >60 years; five of them had two or more underlying comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) severity was higher in the AMI patients than in patients with non-definite AMI (pConclusionsCardiac complications are common in COVID-19 patients. Elevated CRP levels, underlying comorbidities, and NCP severity are the main risk factors for cardiac complications in COVID-19 patients.

AIM To assess the prognostic role of unrecognised myocardial infarction (UMI) detected at late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-CMRII). MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, and Cochrane were searched systematically for studies exploring the predictive value of UMI detected by LGE-CMRI for major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) and all-cause mortality in patients without apparent symptoms. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) along with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were obtained from a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses were performed according to the different participants and outcomes. RESULTS Eight studies (2,009 participants) were identified comprising 442 patients with UMI detected at LGE-CMRI and 1,567 without UMI. The presence of UMI on LGE was associated with a significantly increased risk for MACEs (HRs: 3.44, 95% CI: 2.06 to 5.75; p

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) may induce epicardial coronary artery diseases and left ventricular myocardial damaging as well. Left ventricular dysfunction was found in DM2. In this research, we compared the left ventricular dysfunction of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as normal controls using the volume-time curve of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Methods Sixty-one CAD patients (28 with DM2 and 33 without DM2) and 18 normal individuals were enrolled in this study. Left ventricular function parameters, including the end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes (EDV, ESV), stroke volume (SV) and ejection fraction (EF), and morphologic dimension parameters (end diastolic and systolic diameter (EDD and ESD), were measured and compared. Volume-time curve parameters, including the peak ejection rate (PER), peak ejection time (PET), peak filling rate (PFR), peak filling time from ES (PFT), peak ejection rate normalized to EDV (PER/EDV), and peak filling rate normalized to EDV (PFR/EDV), were derived automatically and compared. Results LVEF in the diabetic CAD group was markedly reduced when compared to the normal and CAD without DM2 groups (all p 166.0 msec). Higher sensitivity (87.5%) and specificity (100.0%) were obtained for PFR/EDV (criterion ≤3.7EDV/s). Conclusions Parameters that are derived from the volume-time curve on CMR, including PET, PFT and PFR/EDV, allow clinicians to predict left ventricular dysfunction in diabetic CAD subjects with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity.

The aim of this study was to clarify the feasibility of myocardial strain using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for the evaluation of left ventricular (LV) deformation in patients with Ebstein's anomaly (EA).We recruited 32 patients with EA and 30 controls for CMR examination and measured LV function, dimension and tissue tracking parameters (the global and regional radial, circumferential and longitudinal peak strain), together with the right ventricle (RV) dimension. LV strain parameters were compared among the controls, patients with preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF; ≥55%), and patients with reduced LVEF (55%). Pearson's correlation was used to evaluate relationships between tissue tracking parameters with the RVEDD/LVEDD index and LVEF. An ROC analysis was also performed to determine whether the cut-off values for PS could be used to differentiate LV dysfunction between patients with EA and controls. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the inter- and intra-observer variability.The global strain parameters all decreased significantly in the EA group compared with the control group (all P0.05). Furthermore, the global radial and circumferential peak strain (PS) were obviously even lower in the reduced LVEF group than the strain measured in preserved LVEF groups (28.64% vs. 37.39%, p0.05; and -8.20% vs. -17.89%; p0.05; respectively). The regional strain abnormalities in EA patients were mainly involved in basal and middle segments. The results also demonstrated a significant correlation between the ratio of the RV end-diastolic dimension to the LV end-diastolic dimension (RVEDD/LVEDD index) with the global circumferential PS (r=0.508) and the longitudinal PS (r=0.474), as well as a good correlation between radial PS and LVEF (r=0.465). The ICCs for intra- and inter-observer variability were 0.797-0.904 and 0.701-0.896.LV strain serves an earlier and more comprehensive measurement of LV dysfunction than LVEF in EA, which could potentially be included as a supplementary diagnostic procedure in the evaluation of EA.

To determine the feasibility of deformation analysis in the right ventricle (RV) using cardiovascular magnetic resonance myocardial feature tracking (CMR-FT) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. We enrolled 104 T2DM patients, including 14 with impaired right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) and 90 with preserved RVEF, and 26 healthy controls in this prospective study. CMR was used to determine RV feature-tracking parameters. RV strain parameters were compared among the controls, patients with preserved and reduced RVEF. Binary logistic regression was used to predict RV dysfunction. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to assess the diagnostic accuracy. The agreement was tested by Bland–Altman analysis. Compared with controls, longitudinal and circumferential global peak strain (PS) and PS at mid-ventricular, apical slices were significantly decreased in T2DM patients with or without reduced RVEF (p

Purpose: To determine the effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity on myocardial microcirculation function by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) first-pass perfusion imaging, and to clarify the important risk factors contributing to microvascular dysfunction in T2DM patients. Methods: A total of 120 clinically diagnosed T2DM patients and 79 controls with different body mass index (BMI) underwent CMR examination. All clinical data and perfusion parameters were recorded and analyzed. Univariable analysis was performed to identify the predictors of myocardial microvascular dysfunction in T2DM patients. Variables with a probability value of < 0.1 in the univariable analysis were included in a back ward multivariable linear regression analysis to identify risk factors of microvascular dysfunction. Results: All perfusion parameters showed that the microvascular function decreased in T2DM patients when compared with controls on the same weight scale. For the T2DM subgroup and controls subgroup, perfusion upslope and max signal intensity (MaxSI) reduced as BMI increased (both P < 0.01). In multivariable linear regression analysis, the BMI (Upslope model, I²=-0.344, P=0.003; MaxSI model, I²=-0.472, P=0.000) and HbA1c (Upslope model, I²=-0.254, P=0.024) had a significant association with microvascular dysfunction. Conclusions: The microvascular function impaired as the BMI increased both in T2DM patients and controls. The BMI, HbA1c and rest heart rate contribute to the myocardial microvascular dysfunction in T2DM patients, and BMI is one of the most important risk factor.

Background Early detection of subclinical myocardial dysfunction in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is essential for recommending therapeutic interventions that can prevent or reverse heart failure, thereby improving the prognosis in such patients. This study aims to quantitatively evaluate left ventricular (LV) myocardial deformation and perfusion using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to investigate the association between LV subclinical myocardial dysfunction and coronary microvascular perfusion. Methods We recruited 71 T2DM patients and 30 healthy individuals as controls who underwent CMR examination. The T2DM patients were subdivided into two groups, namely the newly diagnosed DM group (n = 31, patients with diabetes for ≤ 5 years) and longer-term DM group (n = 40, patients with diabetes > 5 years). LV deformation parameters, including global peak strain (PS), peak systolic strain rate, and peak diastolic strain rate (PSDR), and myocardial perfusion parameters such as upslope, time to maximum signal intensity (TTM), and max signal intensity (Max SI, were measured and compared among the three groups. Pearson’s correlation was used to evaluate the correlation between LV deformation and perfusion parameters. Results Pooled data from T2DM patients showed a decrease in global longitudinal, circumferential, and radial PDSR compared to healthy individuals, apart from lower upslope. In addition, increased TTM and reduced Max SI were found in the longer-term diabetics compared to the normal subjects (p

The aim of the study was to assess the extracellular volume fraction (ECV) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with different level of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and the ability of HbA1c to predict myocardial fibrosis.In total, 80 T2DM patients and 20 age- and sex-matched controls were prospective enrolled and underwent CMR to obtain ECV value and LV function parameters. We divided all patients into a group of HbA1c 7.0% and a group of HbA1c ≥ 7.0%.In the higher HbA1c group the ECV value (all p 0.001) was higher than both lower HbA1c group (36.23% vs. 32.19%, p 0.001) and controls (36.23% vs. 29.73%, p 0.001). HbA1c was positively associated (β = 0.36, p = 0.004) with ECV, and it was also an independent predictor of myocardial fibrosis (OR = 2.00, P = 0.014). The ROC analysis showed that 7.1% was the optimal cutoff value of HbA1c that predicted the risk of myocardial fibrosis with high diagnostic accuracy (area under the curve = 0.78).T1 mapping provided myocardial fibrosis information in T2DM patients. HbA1c is positively correlated with myocardial fibrosis and can be an independently predictor of myocardial fibrosis, which may be helpful for the clinical decision-making of blood glucose control.
