RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Myocardial strain is a promising marker for the detection of early left or right ventricular (LV or RV) dysfunction in pediatric populations. The reference standard for MR strain measurement is myocardial tagging (MT); however, MT has limited clinical utility because the additional acquisitions needed are time-consuming. In contrast, MR-feature tracking (FT) allows strain quantification from routinely acquired cine sequences. Studies providing reference values obtained with both FT and MT for adolescents are lacking. PURPOSE: To use MR-FT and MT to define sex-specific LV and RV strain reference values for adolescents. STUDY TYPE: Cross-sectional, prospective. POPULATION: One hundred twenty-three adolescents aged 15-18 years (52% girls) without known cardiovascular disease. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: Balanced steady-state free-precession sequence for FT analysis and a spatial modulation of magnetization hybrid TFE-EPI sequence for MT acquisitions at 3.0-T. ASSESSMENT: Segment Medviso software was used to obtain longitudinal (LS) and circumferential (CS) strain for both ventricles, and radial strain (RS) for LV. STATISTICAL TESTS: The Student t-test was used for between-sex comparisons of continuous variables. Sex-specific percentiles were calculated using the weighted average method. Intraobserver and interobserver agreement was assessed in 30 randomly selected studies using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). A P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: FT-derived LVLS and LVCS were significantly higher in girls than in boys (-19.8% vs. -17.8% and -22.2% vs. -21.0%, respectively), as they were with MT (LVLS: -18.1% vs. -16.8%; LVCS: -20.8% vs. -19.7%). FT-LVRS was higher in girls than in boys (44.8% vs. 35.1%), while MT-LVRS was the opposite (18.6% vs. 22.7%). FT-RVLS was higher in girls (-23.4% vs. -21.3%), but there were no between-sex differences in MT-derived RVLS or RVCS. ICC values for intraobserver agreement were ≥0.89, whereas for interobserver agreement were <0.80 for MT-LVRS and ≥0.80 for all remaining parameters. DATA CONCLUSION: This study provides sex-specific reference biventricular strain values obtained with MR-MT and MR-FT for adolescents aged 15-18 years. MR-FT may be a valid method for obtaining strain values in pediatric populations. EVIDENCE LEVEL: 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 3.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is an emerging treatment alternative for mitral valve (MV) disease in patients who were ineligible for surgical intervention or edge-to-edge repair. This study aimed to assess the short- and mid-term outcomes of this procedure. METHODS: We conducted a prospective registry to include the initial experience with symptomatic, consecutive patients who underwent TMVR using the transapical Tendyne system at 7 centers in the Iberian Peninsula. Baseline clinical and imaging data, periprocedural information, and follow-up assessments were collected at 1 month and 1 year. RESULTS: A total of 40 patients (mean age 78.5 years [76-82], 47,5% males) underwent TMVR. The majority had significant surgical risk, comorbidities, and advanced functional class. All patients had significant mitral regurgitation (MR), except for 2 with severe stenosis. Previous MV intervention and off-label indication for the procedure were present in 4 (10.0%) and 8 (20.0%) patients, respectively. Technical success was recorded in 100%, device success in 95.0%, and procedural success in 85.0% at 30-day. All-cause mortality was 2.5% and 17.5% at the 1-month and 1-year follow-up, respectively. MR reduction (≤ 1) and functional class improvement (NYHA I-II) were observed at 1 year in 93.9% and 87.9% of survivors, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with TMVR produced enduring resolution of MV disease and notable functional enhancement at 1 year of follow-up. The procedure demonstrated a satisfactory early safety profile, although 1-year mortality remained relatively high in this high-risk population.

RESUMEN

AIMS: Cardiac damage staging has been postulated as a prognostic tool in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The aims of our study are (i) to validate cardiac damage staging systems previously described to stratify patients with aortic stenosis (AS), (ii) to identify independent risk factors for 1-year mortality in patients with severe AS undergoing TAVR, and (iii) to develop a novel staging model and compare its predictive performance to that of the above mentioned. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients undergoing TAVR from 2017 to 2021 were included in a single-centre prospective registry. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed in all patients before TAVR. Logistic and Cox's regression analysis were used to identify predictors of 1-year all-cause mortality. In addition, patients were classified based on previously published cardiac damage staging systems, and the predictive performance of the different scores was measured.Four hundred and ninety-six patients (mean age 82.1 ± 5.9 years, 53% female) were included. Mitral regurgitation (MR), left ventricle global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) and right ventricular-arterial coupling (RVAc) were independent predictors of all-cause 1-year mortality. A new classification system with four different stages was developed using LV-GLS, MR, and RVAc. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.66 (95% confidence interval 0.63-0.76), and its predictive performance was superior compared with the previously published systems (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Cardiac damage staging might have an important role in patients' selection and better timing for TAVR. A model that includes LV-GLS, MR, and RVAc may help to improve prognostic stratification and contribute to better selection of patients undergoing TAVR.
