RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although it is known that Anderson-Fabry Disease (AFD) can mimic the morphologic manifestations of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) on echocardiography, there is a lack of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) literature on this. There is limited information in the published literature on the distribution of myocardial fibrosis in patients with AFD, with scar reported principally in the basal inferolateral midwall. METHODS: All patients with confirmed AFD undergoing CMR at our center were included. Left ventricular (LV) volumes, wall thicknesses and scar were analyzed offline. Patients were categorized into 4 groups: (1) no wall thickening; (2) concentric hypertrophy; (3) asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH); and (4) apical hypertrophy. Charts were reviewed for clinical information. RESULTS: Thirty-nine patients were included (20 males [51%], median age 45.2 years [range 22.3-64.4]). Almost half (17/39) had concentric wall thickening. Almost half (17/39) had pathologic LV scar; three quarters of these (13/17) had typical inferolateral midwall scar. A quarter (9/39) had both concentric wall thickening and typical inferolateral scar. A subgroup with ASH and apical hypertrophy (n = 5) had greater maximum wall thickness, total LV scar, apical scar and mid-ventricular scar than those with concentric hypertrophy (n = 17, p < 0.05). Patients with elevated LVMI had more overall arrhythmia (p = 0.007) more ventricular arrhythmia (p = 0.007) and sustained ventricular tachycardia (p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS: Concentric thickening and inferolateral mid-myocardial scar are the most common manifestations of AFD, but the spectrum includes cases morphologically identical to apical and ASH subtypes of HCM and these have more apical and mid-ventricular LV scar. Significant LVH is associated with ventricular arrhythmia.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine the relationship between deep basal inferoseptal crypts and disease-causing gene mutations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Institutional research and ethics board approval was obtained for this retrospective study, and the requirement to obtain informed consent was waived. Two readers, who were blinded to genetic status, independently assessed cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images obtained in 300 consecutive unrelated genetically tested patients with HCM. Readers documented the morphologic phenotype, the presence of deep basal inferoseptal crypts, and the imaging plane in which crypts were first convincingly visualized. The Student t test, the Fisher exact test, and multivariate logistic regression were used for comparisons and to evaluate the relationship between these crypts and the detection of disease-causing mutations. RESULTS: The frequency of deep basal inferoseptal crypts was significantly higher in patients with disease-causing mutations than in those without disease-causing mutations (36% and 4%, respectively; P < .001). The presence of crypts was a stronger predictor of disease-causing mutations than was reverse septal curvature (P = .025). Patients with these crypts had a higher likelihood of having disease-causing mutations than non-disease-causing mutations (P < .001). Thirty-one of the 34 patients with both deep basal inferoseptal crypts and reverse septal curvature (91%) had disease-causing mutations (sensitivity, 26%; specificity, 98%). The presence of deep basal inferoseptal crypts (odds ratio: 6.64; 95% confidence interval: 2.631, 16.755; P < .001) and reverse septal curvature (odds ratio: 4.8; 95% confidence interval: 2.552, 9.083; P < .001) were predictive of disease-causing mutations. Both observers required additional imaging planes to identify approximately half of all crypts. CONCLUSION: Deep basal inferoseptal crypts occur more commonly in patients with HCM with disease-causing mutations than in those with genotype-negative HCM.

RESUMO

We present a 31-year-old female with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and right-sided aortic arch (RAA) with left-sided patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) originating from the left brachiocephalic artery. This is a rare finding but most common site for a PDA in TOF and a RAA. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of this rare finding on MRI in the literature.

RESUMO

Melanoma not infrequently metastasizes to the heart where it either remains occult or produces a very variable clinical picture. Recognition of metastatic lesions can be difficult on echocardiography because they are frequently intramural rather than intracavity. Magnetic resonance imaging with gadolinium contrast enhancement has previously been reported as the optimum method for identification of cardiac melanoma. This article presents an alternative approach that exploits the intrinsic paramagnetic properties of melanin to provide inherent contrast without the need for intravenous gadolinium injection. This approach is reported here in 3 patients with cardiac melanoma, and its accuracy is compared with a traditional gadolinium-enhanced method. We demonstrated that there were no significant differences among number, location, and volume of detected lesions using an inversion recovery sequence with or without intravenous gadolinium contrast.
