RESUMO

Echocardiography-guided percutaneous intramyocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PIMSRA, Liwen procedure) is a novel treatment option for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). The safety and feasibility of using this procedure for cryoablation are unknown. We aimed to investigate the feasibility and safety of echocardiography-guided percutaneous intramyocardial septal cryoablation (PIMSCA) for septal thickness reduction in a canine model. Eight canines underwent PIMSCA, and had electrocardiography, echocardiography(ECG), myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE), serological and pathological examinations during the preoperative, immediate postoperative, and 6-month follow-up. All eight canines underwent successful cryoablation and continued to be in sinus rhythm during ablation and without malignant arrhythmias. MCE showed that the ablation area had decreased myocardial perfusion after the procedure. Troponin I levels were significantly elevated [0.010 (0.005, 0.297) ng/mL vs. 3.122 (1.152, 7.990) ng/mL, p < 0.05)]. At 6-month follow-up after the procedure, all animals were alive, with thinning of the interventricular septum (7.26 ± 0.52 mm vs. 3.86 ± 0.29 mm, p < 0.05). Echocardiography showed no significant decrease in the left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEF) (54.32 ± 2.93 % vs. 54.70 ± 2.47 %, p > 0.05) or changes by pulse-wave Doppler E/A (1.17 ± 0.43 vs. 1.07 ± 0.43, p > 0.05), E/e' (8.09 ± 1.49 vs. 10.05 ± 2.68, p > 0.05). Pathological findings proved the effectiveness of cryoablation in myocardial tissues. We observed pericardial effusions and premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) associated with the procedure. Our findings provided preliminary evidence of the safety and feasibility of PIMSCA in reducing interventricular septum, which provides a potentially new treatment option for HOCM.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective is to evaluate the 5-year follow-up results of percutaneous intramyocardial septal radiofrequency ablation (PIMSRA) for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), including clinical status, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic characteristics. METHODS: 27 patients (age: 44.3±15.5 years; 67% men, 33% women) with severely symptomatic HOCM who underwent PIMSRA from October 2016 to September 2017 were included. Their clinical status, resting and exercise stress echocardiography, electrocardiography and cardiac MRI (CMRI) after long-term follow-up were assessed. RESULTS: One patient died of intracerebral haemorrhage 1 year post procedurally. The New York Heart Association class, Canadian Cardiovascular Society class and exercise-induced syncopal attacks improved significantly in 26 patients (all p<0.01). Left ventricular (LV) outflow tract gradients revealed sustained reduction (resting: from 95.0 to 9.0 mm Hg, p<0.001; post exercise: from 130.5 to 21.0 mm Hg, p<0.001). The echocardiographic evaluation revealed decreased septal thickness, LV posterior wall thickness and left atrial (LA) diameter (all p<0.001). CMRI data revealed decrease in LV mass index and LA volume index and increase in LV end-diastolic volume index and stroke volume index between baseline and long-term follow-up (all p<0.05). The global longitudinal strain of LV improved from (-11.9%±3.7%) before the procedure to (-13.1%±3.9%) at the last check (p<0.001). Malignant ventricular arrhythmia and heart failure events were not observed. CONCLUSIONS: PIMSRA can effectively alleviate symptoms in patients with HOCM and improve their hemodynamics in the long term. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT02888132.

RESUMO

Background: Pompe disease (PD) is a rare, progressive, and autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the acid α-glucosidase gene. The clinical course and molecular mechanism of this disease in China have not been well defined. Methods: In this single-center cohort study, we investigated a total of 15 Chinese patients with Pompe disease to better understand the clinical manifestations, echocardiographic imaging and genetic characteristics in this population. Results: The median age of 15 patients at symptom onset was 5.07 months (1-24 months). The median age at diagnosis was 19.53 months (range: 3 to 109 months, n = 15). Average diagnostic delay was 13.46 months. None of the patients had received enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Fifteen patients died at a median age of 24.80 months due to cardiorespiratory failure (range 3-120 months). Myasthenia symptoms and severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were universally present (15/15 = 100%). Global longitudinal strain (GLS) by echocardiography was significantly lower in these patients. After adjusting for gender, body surface area (BSA), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), E/e'ratio, maximum left ventricular wall thickness (MLVWT), left ventricular posterior wall (LVPW), left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT)gradient, GLS was independently correlated with survival time (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.702, 95% confidence Interval (CI): 0.532-0.925, P = 0.012). In our cohort, we identified 4 novel GAA mutation: c.2102T > C (p.L701P), c.2006C > T (p.P669l), c.766T > A (p.Y256N), c.2405G > T (p.G802V). 12 patients were compound heterozygotes, and 4 homozygotes. Conclusions: Our study provides a comprehensive examination of PD clinical course and mutations of the GAA gene for patients in China. We showed clinical utility of echocardiography in quantifying heart involvement in patients with suspected PD. GLS can provide prognostic information for mortality prediction. We reported four novel mutations in the GAA gene for the first time. Our findings may improve early recognition of PD characteristics in Chinese patients.
