Left ventricular structural integrity on tetralogy of Fallot patients: approach using longitudinal relaxation time mapping.
Purpose: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a congenital heart disease, and patients undergo surgical repair early in their lives. The evaluation of TOF patients is continuous through their adulthood. The use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is vital for the evaluation of TOF patients. We aim to correlate advanced MRI sequences [parametric longitudinal relaxation time (T1), extracellular volume (ECV) mapping] with cardiac functionality to provide biomarkers for the evaluation of these patients.
Methods: A complete CMR examination with the same imaging protocol was conducted in a total of 11 TOF patients and a control group of 25 healthy individuals. A Modified Look-Locker Inversion recovery (MOLLI) sequence was included to acquire the global T1 myocardial relaxation times of the left ventricular (LV) pre and post-contrast administration. Appropriate software (Circle cmr42) was used for the CMR analysis and the calculation of native, post-contrast T1, and ECV maps. A regression analysis was conducted for the correlation between global LV T1 values and right ventricular (RV) functional indices.
Results: Statistically significant results were obtained for RV cardiac index [RV_CI= -32.765 + 0.029 × T1 native; ], RV end diastolic volume [RV_EDV/BSA = -1023.872 + 0.902 × T1 native; ], and RV end systolic volume [RV_ESV/BSA = -536.704 + 0.472 × T1 native; ].
Conclusions: We further support the diagnostic importance of T1 mapping as a structural imaging tool in CMR. In addition to the well-known affected RV function in TOF patients, the LV structure is also impaired as there is a strong correlation between LV T1 mapping and RV function, evoking that the heart operates as an entity.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
