Strain-encoded cardiac magnetic resonance during high-dose dobutamine stress testing for the estimation of cardiac outcomes. Comparison to clinical parameters and conventional wall motion readings Gitsios Gitsioudis Sr*, Stephanie Lehrke, Nina Riedle, Sebastian J Buss, Evangelos Giannitsis, Nael F Osman, Hugo A Katus, Grigorios Korosoglou From 2011 SCMR/Euro CMR Joint Scientific Sessions Nice, France. 3-6 February 2011 Introduction DS-MRI is a well established modality for the diagnostic classification and the risk stratification of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, currently the detection of inducible ischemia by DS-MRI is based on the assessment of cine images, which is subjective and depends on the experience of the readers. In this regard, the human eye primarily tracks the radial displacement of the myocardium with cine-images, which is less sensitive than circumferential and longitudinal components for the detection of myocardial dysfunction. Purpose To determine the prognostic value of Strain-EncodedMRI (SENC) during high-dose dobutamine stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DS-MRI) compared with conventional wall motion analysis. Methods 320 consecutive patients with suspected or known CAD underwent DS-MRI, using a standard protocol in a 1.5T MR-scanner. Wall motion and SENC were assessed at baseline and during stress, and outcome data including cardiac deaths, nonfatal myocardial infarctions (‘hard events’) and revascularization procedures performed >90 days after the MR-scans were collected.
Results 35 hard events occurred during a 28±9 month follow-up period, including 10 cardiac deaths and 25 nonfatal myocardial infarctions, while 32 patients underwent coronary revascularization. Using multivariable Cox proportional-hazards models, atherogenic risk factors and inducible wall motion abnormalities (WMA) were independently associated with hard events (HR=1.5 (95% CI=1.1-2.1), p=0.02 for the total number risk factors and HR=3.9 (95%CI=1.8-8.6) for inducible WMA, p
