Abstract

Treatment of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has rapidly increased during the past decades. Different strategies and approach were developed in the recent past years leading to an increase in CTO-PCI procedural success. The goal to achieve an extended revascularization with a high rate of completeness is now supported by strong scientific evidences and consequently, has led to an exponential increase in the number of CTO-PCI procedures, even if are still underutilized. It has been widely demonstrated that complete coronary revascularization, achieved by either coronary artery bypass graft or PCI, is associated with prognostic improvement, in terms of increased survival and reduction of major adverse cardiovascular events. The application of "contemporary" strategies aimed to obtain a state-of-the-art revascularization by PCI allows to achieve long-term clinical benefit, even in high-risk patients or complex coronary anatomy with CTO. The increasing success of CTO-PCI, allowing a complete or reasonable incomplete coronary revascularization, is enabling to overcome the last great challenge of interventional cardiology, adding a "complex" piece to "complete" the puzzle.

Abstract

BackgroundViability assessment is a key aspect in the management of ischaemic heart disease (IHD). Hypothesis: native T1 and T2 mapping can assess myocardial viability without the use of gadolinium.Methods30 patients with known MI (>5yrs from MI) and 20 normal healthy controls underwent conventional 1.5T CMR to assess LV function and the presence and extent of myocardial infarction (scar transmurality) using a scale of 0–4 for the 16 AHA segment (0=no scar, 1=1–24%, 2=25–49%, 3=50–74% and 4 ≥75% scar thickness). Segments with <50% LGE was considered viable. LGE viability was compared with the corresponding native segmental T1 and T2 obtained from T1 maps (MOLLI sequence, motion corrected) and T2 maps.Results800 myocardial segments were analysed (320-healthy controls, 480-MI patients). The mean segmental T1 and T2 values for scar transmurality grade 0–4 were 1031±31 ms, 1070±33 ms, 1103±32 ms, 1164±58 ms, 1206±118 ms (p<0.001) and 52±4 ms, 55±4 ms, 58±5 ms, 59±8 ms, 66±9 ms (p<0.001) respectively in chronic MI. ROC analysis of 480 ?segments in chronic MI showed that for myocardial viability assessment, native T1-mapping demonstrated excellent diagnostic performance compared to LGE as the gold standard (AUC-0.94, 95%CI 0.89–0.99, p<0.0001). Native T1 mapping also had the highest diagnostic accuracy for viability assessment when compared to T2 mapping, LV wall thickness, regional wall motion abnormality. A T1 threshold of 1090ms best ?differentiated viable from non-viable segments with a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 91%.ConclusionsNative T1 mapping can differentiate between normal, viable, and non-viable myocardium with distinctive T1 profiles in chronic MI without the need for gadolinium.

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the HIV population accounts for a large proportion of morbidity and mortality and, with the increased life expectancy, the burden of CVD is expected to rise. Inflammation, immune dysfunction, side effects of HIV medications, high prevalence of other risk factors are the likely pathogenic mechanisms for accelerated atherosclerosis. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield of a cardiovascular multimodality diagnostic work-up in a contemporary cohort of HIV-infected patients. From November 2017 to October 2019, HIV infected patients were screened in a cardiovascular diagnostic work-up program including clinical history, physical examination, arterial blood pressure measurement, 12-lead ECG, and Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE). Advanced non-invasive cardiovascular imaging tests, like Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA), stress-echocardiography, Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR), were performed in patients with suspicion of chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) or non-ischemic heart disease (NIHD). 117 HIV-infected consecutive patients underwent this cardiovascular diagnostic work-up and were included in our study. Fifty-two patients (45%) had evidence of CVD. Of them, 22 presented Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), whereas 47 cases showed NIHD. In 17 cases both conditions were present. Among patients with CAD, 8 showed critical coronary stenosis; among them, 5 were treated with percutaneous coronary intervention, 2 with Aorto-Coronary By-Pass Grafting (CABG), and one with medical therapy. Hypertension and diabetes were significantly associated with the development of CVD (respectively p<0.001 and p< 0.05), while current smoking (p<0.02) and hypertension (p<0.007) were positively associated to CAD. A comprehensive cardiovascular diagnostic work-up including advanced multimodality diagnostic imaging modalities led to early detection of CVD in nearly half of an HIV population with immediate interventions required in 6.8% of them, and aggressive prevention treatment started in the remaining HIV patients.
