Abstract
Background
Left ventricular (LV) structural and functional changes have been reported in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) who have undergone transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI); however, the relationship between change in LV structure and systolic function and tissue characteristics assessed via cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) post-TAVI has been not fully elucidated. This study aimed to investigate this relationship in patients with severe AS who underwent TAVI and CMRI.
Methods
In this retrospective study, 65 patients who underwent TAVI and CMRI at the 6-month follow-up were analyzed. The relationship between percent changes in LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), LV end-systolic volume (LVESV), LV ejection fraction (LVEF), and LV mass (LVM) (⊿LVEDV, ⊿LVESV, ⊿LVEF, and ⊿LVM) and those in the native T1 value (⊿native T1) was analyzed using a correlation analysis. Moreover, extracellular volume fraction (ECV) value changes were analyzed.
Results
The ⊿native T1 significantly decreased from 1292.8 (1269.9–1318.4) ms at pre-TAVI to 1282.3 (1262.6–1310.2) ms at the 6-month follow-up (P = 0.022). A significant positive correlation between ⊿LVEDV, ⊿LVESV, and ⊿LVM and ⊿native T1 (r = 0.351, P = 0.004; r = 0.339, P = 0.006; r = 0.261, P = 0.035, respectively) and a tendency toward a negative correlation between ⊿LVEF and ⊿native T1 (r = −0.237, P = 0.058) were observed. The ECV value increased significantly from 26.7 % (25.3–28.3) to 28.2 % (25.7–30.5) (P = 0.002).
Conclusions
The decrease in native T1 might be associated with LV reverse remodeling. Evaluating structural and functional changes using CMRI may be useful for patient management.
