Abstract Background The prognostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) derived left atrial (LA) strain, ejection fraction (LAEF) and volumes (LAVImax and LAVImin) after STEMI is controversial. Aim To assess the relationship between LA function and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within 2 years after STEMI. Methods We prospectively recruited 213 consecutive STEMI patients who underwent CMR at median day 4. 202 patients had complete CMR data for feature tracking assessment. LA reservoir and booster strain were quantified by one blinded observer based on the average of three independently repeated measurements from two- and four-chamber views. MACE was a composite of all-cause mortality, reinfarction, new or worsening heart failure, stroke and sustained ventricular arrhythmias. Results The cohort included 174 (86.1%) males, median age 56 years (IQR 50–65 years). MACE occurred in 35 (17.3%) patients. Patients with MACE had lower median reservoir strain (18.9 vs 29.4%, p<0.001), booster strain (9.4 vs 13.0%, p=0.002) and LAEF (41.5 vs 49.2%, p<0.001), and higher LAVImax (43.5 vs 38.6ml/m2, p=0.019) and LAVImin (23.7 vs 19.3ml/m2, p<0.001) than patients without MACE. Patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF≤40%) had lower median reservoir strain (22.5 vs 30.1%, p<0.001), booster strain (11.3 vs 12.9%, p=0.021) and LAEF (43.3 vs 50.3%, p<0.001) than patients with LVEF>40%. AUC analyses showed reservoir strain (AUC 0.769; 95% CI 0.676–0.861, p<0.001), booster strain (AUC 0.684; 95% CI 0.558–0.810, p=0.002) and LAEF (AUC 0.698; 95% CI 0.596–0.800, p<0.001) predicted MACE. Kaplan Meier analyses showed a difference in MACE between high- and low-risk groups for reservoir strain (cutoff 21%, p<0.001), booster strain (cutoff 9.6%, p<0.001) and LAEF (cutoff 41%, p<0.001). Univariate Cox regression analyses showed all LA parameters had a significant effect on MACE, while multivariate analyses found additional prognostic utility using reservoir strain. Conclusion LA reservoir strain provided incremental prognostic value beyond established clinical and CMR parameters for predicting MACE after STEMI.

Aim. To study the parameters of the structural and functional state of the myocardium in patients with hypertension, to determine their prognostic value on the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients and methods: the study involved 72 people: patients with hypertension and AF, with isolated hypertension and apparently healthy individuals. All of them performed echocardiography, blood pressure monitoring and monitoring of cardiogram. Results: the dilatation of left atrial was founded: patients with the atrial fibrillation on the background of hypertension observed the most pronounced changes in the left atrial. In patients with hypertension without arrhythmias and in combination with atrial fibrillation severe left ventricular hypertrophy was observed. Left ventricle systolic function in groups has been stored but in patients with atrial fibrillation on the background of hypertension was significantly lower. The risk of atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertension prognostic value are the only values of the age, the volume index of the left atrial to the body surface area and left ventricular ejection fraction. Conclusions. The risk of AF in hypertension occurs over the age of 55 and each subsequent year increases it in 1,2 times,  it increases with an index value of the left atrial to the body surface over 29 ml/m2 and with a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction less than 58%.

Inducible Ischaemia

Abstract Aims To assess the sex-specific, long-term prognostic value of myocardial ischaemia induced by stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and early CMR-related revascularization in consecutive patients from a large registry. Methods and results Between 2008 and 2010, all consecutive patients referred for stress CMR were followed for the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined by cardiovascular mortality or recurrent non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI). Early CMR-related revascularization was defined as any revascularization within 90 days after CMR. Among 3664 patients (56.9% male, mean age 69.9 ± 11.8 years), 472 (12.9%) had MACE (163 women and 309 men) after a median follow-up of 8.8 (IQR 6.9-9.5) years. Inducible ischaemia and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by CMR were associated with MACE in women and men (all P < 0.001). In multivariable Cox regression, inducible ischaemia, LGE, and CMR-related revascularization were independent predictors of MACE both in women [heart rate (HR) 4.79, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.17–9.10; HR 1.82, 95% CI 1.22–2.71; HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.54–0.92, respectively; all P < 0.001] and men (HR 3.88, 95% CI 2.33–5.98; HR 1.48, 95% CI 1.16–1.89; HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.65–0.97, respectively; all P < 0.001). The addition of CMR-parameters led to improved model discrimination for MACE (C-statistic 0.61 vs. 0.71; NRI = 0.212; IDI = 0.032) for both women and men. CMR-related revascularization was associated with a lower incidence of MACE in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<50%. Conclusion Inducible ischaemia and early CMR-related revascularization were good long-term predictors of MACE irrespective of sex. CMR-related revascularization was associated with a lower MACE incidence in the sole sub-set of patients with LVEF < 50%.
