Reconfiguration of dynamic brain networks in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: Linking neurovascular coupling and cardiac dysfunction
Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the alterations in static and dynamic network topology properties in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Methods
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was obtained from 41 patients with HFpEF and 39 healthy individuals. The topology properties of static and dynamic functional brain networks were examined using graph theory methodologies, and the correlation between abnormal brain network characteristics and clinical features was assessed.
Results
(1) Static network topology properties exhibited significantly decreased local network efficiency among patients with HFpEF. The connectivity strength and information processing efficiency were diminished in the left parahippocampal gyrus, left cingulate gyrus, and right insular gyrus brain regions, and improved in the left thalamus, right fusiform gyrus, and right precuneus regions. (2) Dynamic network topology properties of patients with HFpEF showed decreased variability in critical nodes and brain subregions (e.g., the superior frontal gyrus, left amygdala, and left fusiform gyrus) and compensatory increases in the variability of specific regions (e.g., right insular gyrus, right postcentral gyrus, and right temporal gyrus). (3) In HFpEF, the static and dynamic functional brain network topology properties of the fusiform gyrus, cingulate gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, precuneus, parahippocampal gyrus, insular gyrus, and amygdala regions were significantly correlated with cardiac structural and functional indices, such as LVDd, LVMI, and E/e′ ratio.
Conclusion
Alterations in cardiac structure and function in HFpEF may affect the dynamic activity of specific brain networks through neurovascular coupling mechanisms.
期刊介绍:
The Brain Research Bulletin (BRB) aims to publish novel work that advances our knowledge of molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie neural network properties associated with behavior, cognition and other brain functions during neurodevelopment and in the adult. Although clinical research is out of the Journal''s scope, the BRB also aims to publish translation research that provides insight into biological mechanisms and processes associated with neurodegeneration mechanisms, neurological diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders. The Journal is especially interested in research using novel methodologies, such as optogenetics, multielectrode array recordings and life imaging in wild-type and genetically-modified animal models, with the goal to advance our understanding of how neurons, glia and networks function in vivo.
