Background: There is an emerging body of evidence that supports the potential clinical value of left ventricular (LV) intracavity blood flow kinetic energy (KE) assessment using four-dimensional flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (4D flow CMR). The aim of this systematic review is to summarize studies evaluating LV intracavity blood flow KE quantification methods and its potential clinical significance. Methods: A systematic review search was carried out on Medline, Pubmed, EMBASE and CINAHL. Results: Of the 677 articles screened, 16 studies met eligibility. These included six (37%) studies on LV diastolic function, another six (37%) studies on heart failure or cardiomyopathies, three (19%) studies on ischemic heart disease or myocardial infarction and finally, one (6%) study on valvular heart disease, namely, mitral regurgitation. One of the main strengths identified by these studies is high reproducibility of LV blood flow KE hemodynamic assessment (mean coefficient of variability = 6 ±  2%) for the evaluation of LV diastolic function. Conclusions: The evidence gathered in this systematic review suggests that LV blood flow KE has great promise for LV hemodynamic assessment. Studies showed increased diagnostic confidence at no cost of additional time. Results were highly reproducible with low intraobserver variability.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Foundation. Main funding source(s): British Heart Foundation HRUK Background. Four-dimensional flow (4D flow) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging provides quantification of intra-cavity left ventricular (LV) flow kinetic energy (KE) parameters in three dimensions. Myocardial infarction (MI) is known to cause acute alterations in intra-cardiac blood flow but assessments of longitudinal changes are lacking. Purpose. Assess longitudinal changes in LV flow post ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Method. Twenty acutely reperfused STEMI patients (13 men, 7 women, mean age 54 ± 9 years) underwent 3T CMR acutely (within 5-7 days) and 3 months post-MI.  CMR protocol included functional imaging, late gadolinium enhancement and 4D flow. Using Q-MASS, LV KE parameters were derived and indexed to LV end-diastolic volume (LVKEiEDV). Based on acute ejection fraction (EF), patients were grouped as follows: preserved (pEF) EF >50%, reduced (rEF) EF <50% including mild (rEF= 40-49%), moderate to severe (EF <40%) impairment.  Results. Out of 20 patients, 13 had rEF acutely (7 mild rEF, 6 moderate to severe rEF). Acute LVKEiEDV parameters varied significantly between pEF and rEF (Table). At 3 months, pEF and mild rEF patients showed a significant (P < 0.05) reduction in average, systolic and peak-A wave LVKEiEDV. Mild rEF patients also had significant (P < 0.05) reduction in minimal and peak-E wave LVKEiEDV. However in patients with moderate to severe rEF in the acute scan, there were no significant change by 3 months (Figure). Conclusion. Following MI, 4D flow LVKE derived biomarkers significantly decreased over time in pEF and mild rEF groups but not in moderate to severe rEF group. 4D flow assessment might provide incremental prognostic value beyond EF assessment alone.

Abstract Background Adverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling is associated with development of heart failure and poor outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Understanding the immunomodulatory mechanisms of LV remodelling is an essential step for the development of novel therapies. Interferon-γ-inducible protein-10 (IP-10)/CXCL10 is a chemokine involved in the recruitment of activated T cells into sites of tissue inflammation. Although IP-10 was reported to reduce adverse LV remodeling in a preclinical myocardial infarction model, its role in LV remodeling in humans with AMI remains unknown. Purpose To determine the clinical predictive value of serum IP-10 in LV remodeling in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods This is a substudy of the double-blind, randomised controlled trial “Evaluating the effectiveness of intravenous ciclosporin on reducing reperfusion injury in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention” (CAPRI; ClinicalTrials.gov registry number NCT02390674), which enrolled 52 acute STEMI patients. LV remodeling was assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and was defined as the 12-week vs. the 3-day post-myocardial infarction change of the left ventricular ejection fraction (ΔLVEF), LV end-diastolic volume (ΔEDV) or LV end-systolic volume (ΔESV). Serum IP-10 was measured before and 5min, 15min, 30min, 90min and 24h after reperfusion by ELISA. Linear regression analysis was used to determine the independent association of IP-10 with the endpoints of the study. Results Serum IP-10 concentration peaked at 30min after reperfusion followed by a 2-fold decrease at the 24h post reperfusion compared to pre-reperfusion levels (P<0.001 for all). Comparison of the 12-week CMR to the baseline CMR imaging revealed that baseline pre-reperfusion as well as 5min, 15min, 30min and 90min, but not 24h, post-reperfusion IP-10 serum levels associated with increased LVEF and decreased ESV at 12-weeks (range correlation coefficient r=[0.35–0.41], P<0.05 with ΔLVEF and r=[−0.33 to −0.44], P<0.05 with ΔESV) indicating that the increase of IP-10 at the acute phase of myocardial infarction confers a cardioprotective role. Multivariable linear regression analysis for ΔLVEF showed that in a model including baseline pre-reperfusion or 5min or 15min or 30min or 90min post-reperfusion IP-10 and age, gender, traditional risk factors (arterial hypertension, body-mass index, hyperlipoproteinemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking, family history of CAD), infarct location, admission high-sensitivity troponin T, door-to-balloon time and ciclosporin treatment, only IP-10 was the independent determinant of ΔLVEF. Conclusions Increased serum IP-10 levels early after reperfusion are associated with reverse LV remodeling in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI. The clinical application of IP-10 as a novel biomarker of LV remodeling post-AMI should be further explored and validated. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) due to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a complex syndrome in which numerous cellular, mechanical and flow processes/interactions become deranged. Insights into derangement of left ventricular intra-cardiac flow patterns and kinetic energy (KE) are now afforded by the use of 4D flow CMR. Previous studies have found derangements of intra-ventricular flow components and KE within DCM patients compared to healthy volunteers. Hypothesis: We hypothesised that increasing derangement in 4D flow measures would relate to: 1) decreased mechanical cardiac function, as assessed by myocardial strain, 2) increased levels of biochemical remodelling markers and 3) worsening patient symptoms and functional capacity. Methods: 26 idiopathic DCM patients (69% male, mean age 55±2 yr, LVEF 35±2%) and 10 controls (70% male, mean age 57±4yr, LVEF 68±1.2%) were assessed with 3T CMR. Results: The LV volume was divided into 4 functional components; direct flow (DF), delayed ejection flow (DEF), retained inflow (RI) and residual volume (RV). Compared to controls DCM’s had significantly decreased DF (11±1% vs 38±2%) and increased RV (51±2% vs 31±1%) (fig a). The KE at end diastole differed significantly for all flow components between groups (fig b). Circumferential strain was significantly impaired in DCM’s vs controls (-9.9±0.8% vs -19.7±0.5%, p<0.0001). DF KE correlated positively to the 6 minute walk test (6MWT) and strain, and negatively to the Minnesota HF questionnaire and BNP (fig c). Conclusions: DCM patients demonstrated less efficient blood flow patterns and deranged KE profiles. The greater the derangement of flow parameters from normal, the worse the myocardial strain, BNP, 6MWT and patient symptoms. This study suggests that flow parameter derangements are novel biomarkers of disease severity in DCM, correlating with established markers of prognosis such as BNP and 6MWT and may become useful in monitoring novel therapies and predicting prognosis.
