Abstract
Non-ischemic fibrosis (NIF) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been linked to poor prognosis, but its association with adverse right ventricular (RV) remodeling is unknown. This study examined a broad cohort of patients with RV dysfunction, so as to identify relationships between NIF and RV remodeling indices, including RV pressure load, volume and wall stress. The population comprised patients with RV dysfunction (EF<50%) undergoing CMR and transthoracic echo within a 14 day (5 ± 3) interval. Cardiac structure, function, and NIF were assessed on CMR. Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) was measured on echo. 118 patients with RV dysfunction were studied, among whom 47% had NIF. Patients with NIF had lower RVEF (34 ± 10 vs. 39 ± 9%; p = 0.01) but similar LVEF (40 ± 21 vs. 39 ± 18%; p = 0.7) and LV volumes (p = NS). RV wall stress was higher with NIF (17 ± 7 vs. 12 ± 6 kPa; p < 0.001) corresponding to increased RV end-systolic volume (143 ± 79 vs. 110 ± 36 ml; p = 0.006), myocardial mass (60 ± 21 vs. 53 ± 17 gm; p = 0.04), and PASP (52 ± 18 vs. 41 ± 18 mmHg; p = 0.001). NIF was associated with increased wall stress among subgroups with isolated RV (p = 0.005) and both RV and LV dysfunction (p = 0.003). In multivariable...Continue Reading
