Background: Combined stress myocardial perfusion (S-PERF) and late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) CMR allows for the detection of myocardial ischemia and infarction. However, prognostic values of S-PERF and LGE CMR have not been determined in a large number of patients. In this study we determined the prognostic significance of combined S-PERF and LGE CMR study. Methods: We studied 826 patients who underwent both stress-rest perfusion CMR and LGE CMR. Stress-induced ischemia on S-PERF CMR and myocardial infarction on LGE CMR were qualitatively determined. Major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) was defined as cardiac death, non-fatal acute myocardial infarction, heart failure on admission. Patients who underwent revascularization within 2 month after CMR were excluded. Results: During a median follow-up time of 34 months (range, 2 to 96 months), event-free survival rate was 89% in S-PERF(−)/LGE(−), 64% in S-PERF(−)/LGE(+), 49% in S-PERF(+)/LGE(−), and 38% in S-PERF(+)/LGE(+) group (P<0.001 between any combinations). Abnormality on S-PERT/LGE CMR was a significant negative prognostic factor of MACE with a high hazard ratio of 7.0 (95% CI 3.9–12.7, P<0.001). While LGE also predicted patients outcome, its hazard ratio (1.42, 95% CI 1.22–1.67, P<0.001) was lower than that by S-PERT/LGE CMR (FIgure 1 ). Normal S-PERF/LGE CMR was associated with lower event rate per year (1.6%) as compared with that by normal LGE alone (4.3%, P<0.001). Conclusions: Combined S-PERF and LGE CMR can provide improved prognostic value when compared with LGE CMR alone in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. Patients with normal S-PERF and LGE CMR were at low risk of adverse outcome.

BACKGROUND Several studies have demonstrated the consistently high prognostic value of stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). This prognostic value in patients with known myocardial infarction (MI) is poorly described. There remains some skepticism about the capacity of stress CMR in predicting the clinical outcome due to the technical challenge during image analysis causes by myocardial scar. PURPOSE The aim of our study was to assess the prognostic value of vasodilator stress perfusion CMR in patients with known MI. METHODS We prospectively included consecutive patients with known MI referred for vasodilator stress perfusion CMR with dipyridamole. They were followed for the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as cardiac death or recurrent non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI). Univariable and multivariable Cox regressions for MACE were performed to determine the prognostic value of inducible ischemia or late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by CMR. RESULTS Of 1602 patients with known MI (68 ± 17 years, 78% men), 1556 (97%) completed the CMR protocol, and among those 1401 (90%) completed the follow-up (median follow-up 5.7 (3.9–7.6) years). Reasons for failure to complete CMR included ECG-gating problems (n = 13), intolerance to stress agent (n = 12), renal failure (n = 12), declining participation (n = 4) and claustrophobia (n = 5). Stress CMR was well tolerated without occurrence of death or severe adverse event. Patients without inducible ischemia experienced a substantially lower annual event rate of MACE (3.1%) than those with 1 or 2 segments of ischemia (4.5%), than those with 3 to 5 segments of ischemia (21.5%), than those with 6 or more segments of ischemia (45.7%, for all p &lt; 0.01). Using Kaplan-Meier analysis, the presence of myocardial ischemia identified the occurrence of MACE (hazard ratio HR 3.52; 95% confidence interval CI: 2.67 – 4.65; p &lt; 0.001). In a multivariable stepwise Cox regression including clinical characteristics and CMR indexes, the presence of inducible ischemia was an independent predictor of a higher incidence of MACE (HR 2.84; 95% CI: 2.14 to 3.78; p &lt; 0.001). CONCLUSION Stress CMR is technically feasible and has a good discriminative prognostic value to predict the occurrence of MACE in patients with known MI. Abstract Figure.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. BACKGROUND    Compelling evidence indicates that women with coronary artery disease (CAD) experience worse outcomes than men due to a lack of early diagnosis and management. Numerous clinical studies have shown that stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) detects evidence of myocardial ischemia and infarction at high accuracy. However, long-term prognosis data are limited.  PURPOSE The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that stress perfusion CMR imaging can provide robust prognostic value in women presenting with suspected ischemia, to the same extent as in men.  METHODS   Consecutive patients referred for vasodilator stress perfusion CMR with dipyridamole were followed for the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as cardiovascular death or non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI). The secondary endpoint was cardiovascular death. The safety of the CMR was assessed by clinical monitoring for 1 hour after the end of the CMR. Univariable and multivariable Cox regressions for MACE were performed to determine the prognostic value of inducible ischemia or late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by CMR in each sex.  RESULTS Of 3436 patients referred for stress CMR in a single French center, 3322 (97%) completed the CMR protocol (59.9 ± 11.8 years, 57% men), and among those 3033 (91%) completed the follow-up (median follow-up 5.4 ± 0.2 years). Reasons for failure to complete CMR included renal failure (n = 29), claustrophobia (n = 26), poor gating (n = 22), intolerance to stress agent (n = 19) and declining participation (n = 18).  Stress CMR was well tolerated without occurrence of death or severe disabling adverse event. Using Kaplan-Meier analysis, the presence of inducible myocardial ischemia identified the occurrence of MACE for both women (hazard ratio HR 2.36 ; 95% confidence interval CI: 1.54–3.62; p &lt; 0.001) and men (HR 3.57 ; 95% confidence interval CI: 2.75 – 4.64; p &lt; 0.001) (Figure). Moreover, inducible ischemia was associated with cardiovascular death for both women (hazard ratio HR 1.92; 95% confidence interval CI: 1.12 – 2.74; p = 0.04) and men (HR 2.71 ; 95% confidence interval CI: 1.98 – 4.41; p &lt; 0.001).  In a multivariable stepwise Cox regression including clinical characteristics and CMR, presence of inducible ischemia was an independent predictor of a higher incidence of MACE for both women (hazard ratio HR 1.85 ; 95% confidence interval CI: 1.18 – 2.92; p = 0.008) and men (HR 3.55 ; 95% confidence interval CI: 2.73 – 4.63; p &lt; 0.001). Moreover, inducible ischemia was associated with cardiovascular death for men (HR 1.99; 95% confidence interval CI: 1.65 – 3.01; p &lt; 0.01) but not for women (p = 0.11).  CONCLUSION Stress CMR is feasible, safe and has a good discriminative prognostic value to predict the occurrence of MACE in patients of either sex presenting with inducible ischemia. However, inducible ischemia is an independent predictor of a higher incidence of CV mortality only in men.

Abstract Aims Cardiac biomarkers elevation is common after revascularization, even in absence of periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) detection by imaging methods. Thus, late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) may be useful on PMI diagnosis and prognosis. We sought to evaluate long-term prognostic value of PMI and new LGE after revascularization. Methods and results Two hundred and two patients with multivessel coronary disease and preserved ventricular function who underwent elective revascularization were included, of whom 136 (67.3%) underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and 66 (32.7%) percutaneous coronary intervention. The median follow-up was 5 years (4.8–5.8 years). Cardiac biomarkers measurement and LGE-CMR were performed before and after procedures. The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions definition was used to assess PMI. Primary endpoint was composed of death, infarction, additional revascularization, or cardiac hospitalization. Primary endpoint was observed in 29 (14.3%) patients, of whom 13 (14.9%) had PMI and 16 (13.9%) did not (P = 0.93). Thirty-six (17.8%) patients had new LGE. Twenty (12.0%) events occurred in patients without new LGE and 9 (25.2%) in patients with it (P = 0.045). LGE was also associated to increased mortality, with 4 (2.4%) and 4 (11.1%) deaths in subjects without and with it (P = 0.02). LGE was the only independent predictor of primary endpoint and mortality (P = 0.03 and P = 0.02). Median LGE mass was estimated at 4.6 g. Patients with new LGE had a greater biomarkers release (median troponin: 8.9 ng/mL vs. 1.8 ng/mL and median creatine kinase-MB: 38.0 ng/mL vs. 12.3 ng/mL; P &lt; 0.001 in both comparisons). Conclusions New LGE was shown to be better prognostic predictor than biomarker-only PMI definition after uncomplicated revascularization. Furthermore, new LGE was the only independent predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality. Clinical trial registration http://www.controlled-trials.com/ISRCTN09454308.

Abstract Background The World's ageing population with a life expectancy that is steadily increasing raises the question of the benefit of screening for coronary artery disease (CAD) in very old patients with high risk of CAD. Current guidelines discourage the performance of stress testing in asymptomatic elderly. Purpose To assess the prognostic value of vasodilator stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in elderly patients aged >75 years without previous known CAD. Material Consecutive elderly patients >75 years without known CAD referred for vasodilator stress perfusion CMR were followed for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or stroke. Univariable and multivariable Cox regressions for MACE were performed to determine the prognostic association of inducible ischemia or late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by CMR beyond traditional clinical risk indexes. Results Of 754 elderly high risk patients (82.0±3.9 years, 48.4% men), 747 (99%) completed the CMR protocol, and among those 659 (88.2%) completed the follow-up (median follow-up 5.7±2.5 years). Reasons for failure to complete CMR included claustrophobia (n=3), declining participation (n=2) and intolerance to stress agent (n=2). Stress CMR was well tolerated without occurrence of death or severe disabling adverse event. Patients without inducible ischemia or LGE experienced a substantially lower annual rate of MACE (5.5% vs. 9.9% for those with ischemia and vs. 6.9% for those with ischemia and/or LGE). In a multivariable stepwise Cox regression including clinical characteristics and CMR indexes, the absence of inducible ischemia was an independent predictor of a lower incidence of MACE at follow-up (hazard ratio 0.46; 95% confidence interval: 0.34 to 0.62; p<0.001) (Figure 1A) and all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 0.67; 95% confidence interval: 0.45 to 0.97; p=0.037). When patients with early coronary revascularization (within 30 days of CMR) were censored on the day of revascularization, both presence of inducible ischemia and ischemia extent per segment maintained a strong association with MACE. Using Kaplan-Meier analyses, the presence of myocardial ischemia identified the occurrence of future CV events (p<0.001). Moreover, the absence of inducible ischemia was a predictor of a lower incidence of MACE less significant in men than in women (p<0.01) (Figure 1B). Conclusion Stress CMR is safe and has discriminative prognostic value in very elderly patients, with a very low negative event rate in patients without ischemia or infarction. Among elderly patients without known CAD, the presence of myocardial ischemia on vasodilator stress CMR was predictive of future CV event or death.

Background: There is wide variability of visit-to-visit (V2V) B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), even when they are stable. The prognostic significance of V2V-BNP variability has not been investigated. We aimed to test whether V2V-BNP variability during the stable period of CHF has prognostic value regardless of BNP level. Methods: In 278 stable outpatients (75 ± 10 years, 65% male) with CHF, we studied V2V-BNP variability, which was defined as the coefficient of variance of BNP values measured during 1 year before enrollment. All-cause death and rehospitalization due to HF were considered the primary endpoint. Results: The median V2V-BNP variability was 25.7% (IQR: 19.2–34.4%). During the follow-up period (median 3.2 years), 100 patients reached the endpoint and those with high V2V-BNP variability (≥25.7%) had a significantly higher rate of events (p = 0.001). CHF severity in terms of BNP level and MAGGIC risk score was not significantly different between those with high and low V2V-BNP variability. Multivariable analysis showed that high V2V-BNP variability was independently associated with increased event rates even after adjustment for other known prognostic predictors, including BNP (hazard ratio 1.90, p = 0.003), or for MAGGIC risk score and BNP (hazard ratio 1.72, p = 0.010). The hazard for the outcome consistently increased as V2V-BNP variability increased, with a marked increase up to about 30%. Conclusions: Even in the stable phase of CHF, V2V-BNP variability was associated with worse long-term outcomes, independent of BNP level.
