Background: . We have previously reported as a part of the TRACE study that patients with LV dysfunction undergoing CABG and surgical implantation of Coapsys had significant reductions in LV size and MR at 1 year. Echo data of patients who recieved CABG with and without Coapsys, were retrospectively analyzed to determine the extent and pattern of LV reverse remodeling related to the LV shape change properties of Coapsys. Methods: Coapsys consists of anterior and posterior epicardial pads connected by a flexible chord, drawn together to affect change in valvular and ventricular geometry. Coapsys was implanted in patients whose MR remained ≥ grade 2 after CABG (Coapsys + CABG group, n=32). Patients whose MR grade reduced to 1 or less after CABG (CABG Alone group, n=35) received CABG only. Baseline age, ejection fraction, graft number, and MR grade in the Coapsys + CABG group and the CABG Alone group were 58, 35, 2.7, 3.0 and 59, 37 2.8, 2.7 respectively. Detailed echocardiographic measurements of diastolic left ventricular dimensions in 3 echo planes, 4 Chamber (4 Ch), 2 Chamber (2 Ch), and Long Axis (LAX), along with LV length and anterolateral papillary muscle (ALPM) depth were serially collected up to 12 months after surgery. Results: Comparison of baseline, 3 month and 12 month dimensions between Coapsys + CABG and CABG Alone groups are displayed in Figure 1 . Conclusions: In patients with MR and LV dysfunction undergoing implantation of Coapsys along with CABG, there is significant, global and progressive reversal of LV remodeling. This may to be related to the LV shape change properties of Coapsys and could benefit patients with heart failure.

Background. The aim of this study is to show whether the septalE/(E′×S′)ratio assessed by tissue Doppler echocardiography can predict left ventricular remodeling after first ST segment elevation myocardial infarction treated successfully with primary percutaneous intervention.Methods. Consecutive patients (n=111) presenting with acute anterior myocardial infarction for the first time in their life were enrolled. All patients underwent successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Standard and tissue Doppler echocardiography were performed in the first 24-36 hours of admission. Echocardiographic examination was repeated after 6 months to reassess left ventricular volumes. SeptalE/(E′×S′)ratio was assessed by pulsed Doppler echocardiography.Results. Group 1 consisted of 33 patients with left ventricular (LV) remodeling, and Group 2 had 78 patients without LV remodeling.E/(E′×S′)was significantly higher in Group 1 (4.1±1.9versus1.65±1.32,p=0.001). The optimal cutoff value forE/(E′×S′)ratio was 2.34 with 87.0% sensitivity and 82.1% specificity.Conclusion. SeptalE/(E′×S′)values measured after the acute anterior myocardial infarction can strongly predict LV remodeling in the 6-month follow-up. In the risk assessment, the septalE/(E′×S′)can be evaluated together with the conventional echocardiographic techniques.

Background: Adverse cardiac remodeling after MI is associated with excessive degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). IK-5001 is a low viscosity injectable solution that provides the polysaccharide alginate. After intracoronary injection into the MI area it undergoes phase transition forming a hydrogel which can support the ECM. We hypothesized that administration of alginate post-MI would provide a temporary scaffold and attenuate adverse LV remodeling. Methods: Acute MI was induced in 16 pigs by balloon occlusion of the proximal LAD for 2 hours. Animals randomly received intracoronary alginate or saline 4 days post-MI. LV function and remodeling were evaluated with cardiac MRI, 3D-echo and pressure-volume loops at 1 and 2 months post-MI. Histology and Western blot analysis were performed after 2 months. Results: Both groups had similar LVEF and infarct size 4 days post-MI. Coronary angiography immediately after alginate injection showed no impairment in coronary flow. However, 2 months post-MI, alginate-treated pigs exhibited reduced LV remodeling compared with controls demonstrated by reduced LV end-systolic volume, LV mass and sphericity (Table). Alginate-treated pigs had less cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and decreased interstitial fibrosis. Consistent with this, chronic activation of Akt and ERK was reduced. Alginate pigs also showed lower plasma levels of BNP and aldosterone. Interestingly, after 2 months, alginate pigs showed better systolic LV function: higher LVEF, better contractile reserve with dobutamine, and higher dP/dt. Conclusions: Intracoronary administration of alginate ameliorates adverse post-MI LV remodeling at the anatomical, histological and molecular level, and mitigates neurohormonal activation in a porcine model of MI. Alginate also improves systolic LV function. Intracoronary injection of alginate represents an exciting novel treatment option to reduce post-MI remodeling that merits assessment in clinical studies.

Background Early diagnosis and treatment of myocardial affection in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are crucial. Objectives To evaluate the ventricular systolic function in juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (j-SLE) patients by 3-D speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE) and to determine the predictors of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction if present. Methods Twenty-six SLE patients without heart failure and 21 healthy controls were studied by standard echocardiogram and 3D-STE. Conventional parameters included LV ejection fraction (EF), fractional shortening (FS), and mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE). Global LV strain (GLS) and global area strain (GAS) were obtained by 3D-STE. Medical records, including diagnosis criteria, duration of disease, and SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) were evaluated. Results The mean age was similar in patients and controls 11.42 vs 11.48 years p  =  0.93. The mean duration of the disease was 1.87 ± 1.02 years and SLEDAI ranged from 0 to 9. By conventional and tissue Doppler imaging echocardiography, only MAPSE was significantly lower in SLE patients compared to controls (14.56 vs 18.46 mm, p < 0.001). By 3D speckle tracking echocardiography, GLS and GAS were significantly reduced in SLE patients compared to controls (−15.07 vs −19.9.4%, −34.6% vs −39.7%, respectively, p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression and ROC analyses indicated that the SLEDAI score was the only predictive factor for the left ventricular remodeling. Conclusions These results indicate that early subclinical LV dysfunction occur in jSLE patients even with normal EF and SLE disease activity might be a potential driver for LV deformation.

Abstract Purpose to assess the left ventricular (LV) remodeling with using transthoracic 3D Echo and MRI in young athletes. Materials for the period from October 2015 to April 2018, 88 athletes (61 men and 27 women) were examined. Mean age was 20.8 ± 3.9 years. Group A (professionals) – 65 athletes (4 or more training days a week, experience in sports for at least 7 years, the presence of at least the 1st sports category). Group B (Amateurs) – 23 athletes (3 or less training days a week). By types of loads were identified 4 groups: 1st - high-static, low-dynamic (climbing); 2nd - medium-static, medium-dynamic (volleyball, Rugby, sports dancing); 3rd - medium-static, high-dynamic (badminton, orienteering, hockey); 4th - high-static, high-dynamic (triathlon, water polo, rowing). Methods 2D-, 3D-Echo was performed on Vivid E9 XDclear 4D (GE, USA). With the help of software package for processing 3D arrays (4D auto LVQ and 4D Strain and LV-mass) in automatic and semi-automatic mode was obtained end diastolic and end systolic volumes (EDV, ESV), ejection fraction (EF) and LV mass. The device was used for MRI - Avanto (Siemens) - 1.5 T, using: sensors for breathing and synchronization with ECG, standard surface coil Body Matrix. Visualization of the mobile myocardium was carried out by SSFP protocols in standard two-and four-chamber view, as well as on the short axis. In addition, the black-blood Protocol was performed in axial projection for visualization of mediastinal organs and chest. Evaluation of the results was performed on a workstation Syngo Via VB10B (Siemens) using a worker thread MR Cardiac analisis. Results There were significant differences in the types of loads (p &lt; 0.001): 22% of men in Group B had 1st type, 2nd type - 78% of men and 93% of women in group B, 3rd type - 45% of men and 36% of women in group A, 4th type - 39% of men and 21% of women in group A. In the evaluation of LV remodeling and its relationship with the type of loads revealed significant differences (p &lt; 0.01): 87.5% had LV remodeling (95.4% - aggregate type load 1, 2, 3), 6.8% - concentric remodeling (21.7% of all type 4), and 4.5% eccentric hypertrophy (8.7% of all type 4), 1.1 per cent of concentric hypertrophy (4.4% of all type 4). Consequently, most athletes with loads of type 4 had different types of LV remodeling. Comparing 3D Echo and MRI, high-grade positive correlations were obtained in indicators: EDV (R 0.82, p &lt; 0.0001), ESV (R 0.80, p &lt; 0.0001), LV mass (R 0.85, p &lt; 0.0001), as well as moderate positive the index of EDV (R 0.54, p &lt; 0.037) and unreliable for the EF. Conclusions three-dimensional visualization allows to carry out a reliable assessment of the volumetric parameters of the heart chambers, comparable with MRI data and to identify the signs and type of LV remodeling. Requires further study of the performance of 3D Echo in athletes, given the lack of normative data on the modern stage.
