ABSTRACT
Abstract

Background:

Reproducibility data of the extent and patterns of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is limited.

Objective:

To explore the reproducibility of regional wall thickness (WT), LGE extent, and LGE patterns in patients with HCM assessed with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).

Methods:

The extent of LGE was assessed by the number of segments with LGE, and by the total LV mass with LGE (% LGE); and the pattern of LGE-CMR was defined for each segment.

Results:

A total of 42 patients (672 segments) with HCM constituted the study population. The mean WT measurements showed a mean difference between observers of -0.62 ± 1.0 mm (6.1%), with limits of agreement of 1.36 mm; -2.60 mm and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.95 (95% CI 0.93-0.96). Maximum WT measurements showed a mean difference between observers of -0.19 ± 0.8 mm (0.9%), with limits of agreement of 1.32 mm; -1.70 mm, and an ICC of 0.95 (95% CI 0.91-0.98). The % LGE showed a mean difference between observers of -1.17 ± 1.2 % (21%), with limits of agreement of 1.16%; -3.49%, and an ICC of 0.94 (95% CI 0.88-0.97). The mean difference between observers regarding the number of segments with LGE was -0.40 ± 0.45 segments (11%), with limits of agreement of 0.50 segments; -1.31 segments, and an ICC of 0.97 (95% CI 0.94-0.99).

Conclusions:

The number of segments with LGE might be more reproducible than the percent of the LV mass with LGE.
RESUMO
Resumo Fundamento Os dados de reprodutibilidade da extensão e dos padrões de realce tardio pelo gadolínio (RTG) em cardiomiopatia hipertrófica (CMH) são limitados.

Objetivo:

Explorar a reprodutibilidade da espessura parietal (EP) da região, extensão do RTG e padrões de RTG em pacientes com CMH avaliados com ressonância magnética cardíaca (RMC).

Métodos:

A extensão do RTG foi avaliada pelo número de segmentos com RTG e pela massa total do VE com RTG (%RTG) e foi definido o padrão RMC com RTG para cada segmento.

Resultados:

A população do estudo foi composta por um total de 42 pacientes (672 segmentos) com CMH. As medições médias de EP mostraram uma diferença média entre observadores de -0,62 ± 1,0 mm (6,1%), com limites de concordância de 1,36 mm, -2,60 mm e um coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) de 0,95 (95% IC 0,93-0,96). Medições máximas de EP mostraram uma diferença média entre observadores de -0,19 ± 0,8 mm (0,9%), com limites de concordância de 1,32 mm, -1,70 mm e CCI de 0,95 (95% IC 0,91-0,98). O % RTG mostrou uma diferença média entre observadores de -1,17 ± 1,2% (21%), com limites de concordância de 1,16%, -3,49% e CCI de 0,94 (95% IC 0,88-0,97). A diferença média entre observadores com relação ao número de segmentos com RTG foi de -0,40 ± 0,45 segmentos (11%) com limites de concordância de 0,50 segmentos, -1,31 segmentos e CCI de 0,97 (95% IC 0,94-0,99).

Conclusões:

O número de segmentos com RTG pode ser mais reprodutível do que o percentual da massa do VE com RTG.
