RESUMO

Background: The exact geometric pathogenesis of leaflet tethering in ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) and the relative contribution of each component of the mitral valve complex (MVC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we sought to further elucidate mitral valve (MV) leaflet remodeling and papillary muscle dynamics in an ovine model of IMR with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 3-dimensional echocardiography (3DE). Methods: Multimodal imaging combining 3DE and MRI was used to analyze the MVC at baseline, 30 minutes post-myocardial infarction (MI), and 12 weeks post-MI in ovine IMR models. Advanced 3D imaging software was used to trace the MVC from each modality, and the tracings were verified against resected specimens. Results: 3DE MV remodeling was regionally heterogenous and observed primarily in the anterior leaflet, with significant increases in surface area, especially in A2 and A3. The posterior leaflet was significantly shortened in P2 and P3. Mean posteromedial papillary muscle (PMPM) volume was decreased from 1.9 ± 0.2 cm3 at baseline to 0.9 ± 0.3 cm3 at 12 weeks post-MI (P < .05). At 12 weeks post-MI, the PMPM was predominately displaced horizontally and outward along the intercommissural axis with minor apical displacement. The subvalvular contribution to tethering is a combination of unilateral movement, outward displacement, and degeneration of the PMPM. These findings have led to a proposed new framework for characterizing PMPM dynamics in IMR. Conclusions: This study provides new insights into the complex interrelated and regionally heterogenous valvular and subvalvular mechanisms involved in the geometric pathogenesis of IMR tethering.

RESUMO

We evaluate a fully automatic technique for labeling hippocampal subfields and cortical subregions in the medial temporal lobe in in vivo 3 Tesla MRI. The method performs segmentation on a T2-weighted MRI scan with 0.4 × 0.4 × 2.0 mm(3) resolution, partial brain coverage, and oblique orientation. Hippocampal subfields, entorhinal cortex, and perirhinal cortex are labeled using a pipeline that combines multi-atlas label fusion and learning-based error correction. In contrast to earlier work on automatic subfield segmentation in T2-weighted MRI [Yushkevich et al., 2010], our approach requires no manual initialization, labels hippocampal subfields over a greater anterior-posterior extent, and labels the perirhinal cortex, which is further subdivided into Brodmann areas 35 and 36. The accuracy of the automatic segmentation relative to manual segmentation is measured using cross-validation in 29 subjects from a study of amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and is highest for the dentate gyrus (Dice coefficient is 0.823), CA1 (0.803), perirhinal cortex (0.797), and entorhinal cortex (0.786) labels. A larger cohort of 83 subjects is used to examine the effects of aMCI in the hippocampal region using both subfield volume and regional subfield thickness maps. Most significant differences between aMCI and healthy aging are observed bilaterally in the CA1 subfield and in the left Brodmann area 35. Thickness analysis results are consistent with volumetry, but provide additional regional specificity and suggest nonuniformity in the effects of aMCI on hippocampal subfields and MTL cortical subregions.
