ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To assess the longitudinal changes of microvascular function in different myocardial regions after myocardial infarction (MI) using myocardial blood flow derived by dynamic CT perfusion (CTP-MBF), and compare CTP-MBF with the results of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and histopathology.METHODS:
The CTP scanning was performed in a MI porcine model 1 day (n = 15), 7 days (n = 10), and 3 months (n = 5) following induction surgery. CTP-MBF was measured in the infarcted myocardium, penumbra, and remote myocardium, respectively. CMR perfusion and histopathology were performed for validation.RESULTS:
From baseline to follow-up scans, CTP-MBF presented a stepwise increase in the infarcted myocardium (68.51 ± 11.04 vs. 86.73 ± 13.32 vs. 109.53 ± 26.64 ml/100 ml/min, p = 0.001) and the penumbra (104.92 ± 29.29 vs. 120.32 ± 24.74 vs. 183.01 ± 57.98 ml/100 ml/min, p = 0.008), but not in the remote myocardium (150.05 ± 35.70 vs. 166.66 ± 38.17 vs. 195.36 ± 49.64 ml/100 ml/min, p = 0.120). The CTP-MBF correlated with max slope (r = 0.584, p < 0.001), max signal intensity (r = 0.357, p < 0.001), and time to max (r = - 0.378, p < 0.001) by CMR perfusion. Moreover, CTP-MBF defined the infarcted myocardium on triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining (AUC 0.810, p < 0.001) and correlated with microvascular density on CD31 staining (r = 0.561, p = 0.002).CONCLUSION:
CTP-MBF could quantify the longitudinal changes of microvascular function in different regions of the post-MI myocardium, which demonstrates good agreement with contemporary CMR and histopathological findings. KEY POINTS ⢠The CT perfusion-based myocardial blood flow (CTP-MBF) could quantify the microvascular impairment in different myocardial regions after myocardial infarction (MI) and track its recovery over time. ⢠The assessment of CTP-MBF is in good agreement with contemporary cardiac MRI and histopathological findings, which potentially facilitates a rapid approach for pathophysiological insights following MI.Palavras-chave
