ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This study aimed to investigate the correlation between increased extracellular matrix estimated by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and left ventricular aneurysm after acute myocardial infarction.METHODS:
A total of 175 patients from 3 centers with an isolated left anterior descending culprit vessel underwent CMR examinations within 1 week and at a 6-month follow-up. Of these, 92 were identified to have left ventricular aneurysms (LVAs) 74 with functional aneurysm and 18 with anatomical aneurysm. The predictive significance of acute extracellular volume (ECV), left gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and other characteristics were analyzed using binary logistic regression analysis.RESULTS:
Patients with LVA were more likely to present with left ventricular adverse remodeling (LVAR) than those without (p = 0.009). With optimal cutoff values of 30.90% for LGE and 33% for ECV to discriminate LVA from non-LVA, the area under the curve (AUC) by receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was 0.92 (95% CI 0.87-0.96; p < 0.001) and 0.93 (95% CI 0.88-0.96; p < 0.001), respectively. ECV was significantly better than LGE at discriminating between functional and anatomical LVA (p < 0.001). Both acute LGE and ECV were predictors of LVA, with an odds ratio of 1.35 (95% CI 1.21-1.52, p < 0.001) and 1.23 (95% CI 1.13-1.33, p < 0.001), respectively, by multivariable logistic regression analysis.CONCLUSIONS:
Acute LGE and ECV of the myocardium provided predictive significance for LVA. The discriminative significance of ECV for functional versus anatomical LVA was better than the discriminative significance of LGE. KEY POINTS ⢠Patients with LVA were more likely to present with LVAR. ⢠Acute LGE and ECV of the myocardium provided the strongest predictive significance for LVA. ⢠The discriminative significance of ECV for functional versus anatomical LVA was better than that of LGE.Palavras-chave
