Abstract Background In nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), diagnosis and prognosis is based on left ventricular function. Although concomitant right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is frequently observed, the underlying mechanism is currently not fully understood. Purpose We aimed to describe the characteristics of right ventricular function in DCM patients with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging using cine and late-gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. Methods Patients with DCM and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (ejection fraction (EF) <50%) on LGE-CMR were included prospectively. LV and RV volumes and function were quantified and RV systolic dysfunction was defined as RV ejection fraction (RVEF)<45%. The presence and pattern of LGE were assessed visually and the extent was quantified using the full-width half maximum method. Septal midmyocardial LGE pattern was defined as midwall striae or hinge-point myocardial hyperenhancement. Moreover, left atrial (LA) volumes were calculated using the bi-plane area-length method. Results The study included 214 DCM patients (42% female, age 58±14 years) with a mean LVEF of 34±12% and RVEF of 46±12%. RV systolic dysfunction was present in 39% and was associated with the presence of septal midwall LGE (OR 1.96 (95% CI 1.09–3.54) p=0.026). In patients with RV dysfunction, LV dilation was more severe (LV end diastolic volume (EDV) 242±97mL vs. 212±58mL, p=0.011) and LVEF was lowere (26±12% vs. 39±8%, p<0.001) (figure A). There was a weak correlation between septal LGE amount and LVEDV and RVEDV (respectively r=0.36, p=0.003 and r=0.35, p=0.005) In patients with RV dysfunction, left atrial volumes were enlarged (56±23mL/m2 vs. 46±14mL/m2, p<0.001) and LA emptying fraction was moderately correlated to RVEF (figure B), also after exclusion of patients with a history of atrial fibrillation. RVEF in DCM patients Conclusion In DCM, reduced RVEF predominantly occurred in patients with a) LVEF lower than 30%, b) septal midwall enhancement, indicating progressive LV remodeling, c) LA dilation and d) LA dysfunction. This suggests that RV dysfunction in advanced DCM is drive by LV diastolic dysfunction resulting in increased afterload of the RV.

Abstract Introduction Recently, we have reported that large left atrial volume (minimum left atrial volume index : LAVImin ≥30ml/m²) at end-diastole determined by direct exposure of left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic pressure can predict post-operative symptomatic status after aortic valve replacement (AVR) in aortic stenosis (AS) patients with high sensitivity and modest specificity. Reverse remodeling of large LAVImin after AVR may contribute to false positive for the prediction of post-operative symptomatic status in patients with AS. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate relationship between post-operative symptomatic status and reverse remodeling of large LAVImin in patients with AS who underwent AVR. Methods The study population consisted of 75 patients with AS who underwent AVR and were followed up for 600 days after AVR, after the exclusion of the followings; atrial fibrillation, significant coronary artery disease, significant mitral valve disease, pacemaker rhythm, and inadequate echocardiographic images. We measured LAVImin by biplane Simpson"s method before and after AVR. Preoperative large LAVImin (≥30ml/m²) according to the previous study was observed in 32 (43%) of 75 patients. We divided these 32 patients into two groups according to the post-operative symptomatic status during the follow-up period. Results There was no significant difference in pre-operative LAVImin between patients with and without post-operative symptom (46.5 ± 13.4 vs 40.4 ± 8.6 ml/m²). On the other hand, post-operative LAVImin in patients without post-operative symptom was significantly smaller than that in patients with post-operative symptom (31.5 ± 8.6 vs 54.8 ± 14.0 ml/m², p &lt; 0.01). While significant regression in LAVImin after AVR was observed in patients without post-operative symptom (40.4 ± 8.6 to 31.5 ± 8.6 ml/m², p &lt; 0.05), no regression in LAVImin after AVR was observed in patients with post-operative symptom (46.5 ± 13.4 to 54.8 ± 14.0 ml/m²). Conclusions Reverse remodeling of large LAVmin in patients with AS who underwent AVR was observed in post-operative asymptomatic group, but not in symptomatic group. These results suggest that reverse remodeling of large LAVImin after AVR could contribute to the post-operative asymptomatic status in patients with AS who underwent AVR.

Background: The operative indications for severe tricuspid insufficiency in patients undergoing left-sided valvular surgery are well defined; however, for mild and moderate insufficiency, the findings are still controversial. In this study, we aimed to document the prognostic parameters for progression of tricuspid insufficiency in patients undergoing left-sided valvular surgery. Methods: 135 patients undergoing mitral valve ± coronary bypass surgery were retrospectively examined. Patients with simultaneous tricuspid valve surgery were excluded. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings were recorded and the relationship with progression of tricuspid insufficiency was studied. Results: Valvular pathology was rheumatic in origin in 72.6% of patients. Tricuspid insufficiency was progressed in 69 (51.1%) of patients, while it did not change in 66 (48.9%) patients. Echocardiographic parameters recorded during follow-up revealed that left ventricular end-diastolic diameter decreased, while there was no significant change in right ventricular end-diastolic diameter. Tricuspid insufficiency was directly related with right ventricular end-diastolic diameter (P < .05), while no relationship was documented with left ventricular end-diastolic diameter. There was a statistically significant correlation between postoperative progression of tricuspid insufficiency and left atrial diameter; however, no relationship was documented with age, sex, valvular disease etiology, comorbidities, or preoperative atrial fibrillation. Risk factor analysis revealed that left atrial diameter was the only prognostic factor. Conclusion: The indications for mild and moderate tricuspid insufficiency are still not clear for patients undergoing left-sided valvular surgery. In this study, we documented that left atrial dilatation was a prognostic factor for progression of postoperative tricuspid insufficiency. In this group of patients, presence of left atrial dilatation may be an indication for tricuspid valve intervention.
