    Title translation Cardiooncology-usefulness of cardiac MRI : Inflammation, fibrosis, outcome.
    Abstract Background: With rapidly increasing survival chances of cancer patients, the potential side effects of cancer therapeutics are increasingly relevant and a potentially lifelong issue. If cardiotoxic effects are not detected at a reversible stage, this might result in irreversible heart failure.
    Objectives: This article will portray the current state of knowledge on the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) in the field of cardio-oncology. The aim is to provide an overview of the advantages of cardiac MRI to determine myocardial function and analyze inflammatory or fibrotic myocardial changes.
    Materials and methods: Current studies on this topic were collected and evaluated. Expert recommendations from various position papers were reviewed and summarized. Lastly, an MRI protocol to assess potential cardiotoxic effects of cancer therapeutics was discussed.
    Results: Up to 20% of patients are reported to suffer from cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). Especially those with cardiovascular risk factors should receive pre- and posttherapeutic monitoring of heart function. Cardiac MRI is currently suggested as an imaging tool to analyze myocardial function if echocardiographic assessment is insufficient. However, cardiac MRI is also an excellent method for additional tissue analysis.
    Conclusion: Current consensus statements recommend cardiac MRI as optional in cases where echocardiography image quality is not adequate. Nevertheless, patients with reduced heart function on echocardiography might benefit from early assessment of inflammatory or fibrotic changes due to CTRCD using cardiac MRI.

    Title translation Routine computed tomography body composition analysis-experience in intensive care patients.
    Abstract The assessment of the nutritional status of patients in the intensive care unit is recommended in current guidelines and should include the assessment of muscle status. A suitable method is the analysis of routine computed tomography (CT) scans, which are frequently performed in critically ill patients. With the help of special software, individual CT slices are processed and various parameters such as muscle area, muscle density or even the percentage of adipose tissue are displayed and quantified. It has been shown that cross-sectional acquisition of skeletal muscle in the lumbar spine correlates very well with total body muscle. There are defined, albeit population-based, cut-off values that can be used to establish diagnosis of sarcopenia. Monitoring of individualized nutritional therapy can be accomplished by assessment of repetitive CT examinations. The steadily growing body of data confirms that the method can make a valuable contribution to the assessment of body composition in intensive care medicine. Most of the currently available software requires time-consuming processing of the CT. Automated programs, which are now occasionally available and eliminate the need for most manual processing, may make the method even more attractive in the future. Ultimately, the risk of intensive transport to the CT or radiation exposure may be only justified for medical indications. Nevertheless, whenever CT is available for medical reasons, it should also be exploited for composition analysis.

    Abstract Clozapine is recognized as the drug of choice for treatment-refractory schizophrenia, but use may be limited because of strict monitoring requirements and adverse effects including severe neutropenia, seizures, and myocarditis. Loxapine is a first-generation antipsychotic with similarities to clozapine in both structure and receptor binding. This case describes a 57-year-old male with a history of severe paranoid schizophrenia despite treatment with clozapine and other psychotropic agents, who experienced clinical improvement after a cross titration from clozapine to loxapine. Loxapine may be a reasonable alternative in patients with treatment-refractory schizophrenia who do not tolerate or respond to clozapine.

    Abstract Background: In many cardiac diseases, myocardial scar tissue detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is a risk factor for cardiac arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Previous studies in athletes reported an increased risk for cardiac events in this group of ostensibly healthy subjects. However, the currently available longitudinal studies on this topic included fairly old marathon runners with a mean age of 57 ± 6 years or represent a case-control study in athletes with preexisting ventricular arrhythmia. The purpose of this prospective study was to analyze the prognostic relevance of LGE cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in middle-aged endurance athletes without known preexisting cardiac disorders.
    Methods: Three-hundred and twelve apparently healthy athletes were prospectively enrolled. Inclusion criteria were a training for a minimum of 10 h per week and regularly participation in competitions. LGE CMR was obtained at baseline in all athletes and presence of LGE was classified visually according to established criteria as ischemic LGE, major or minor non-ischemic LGE or absent LGE. Follow-up consisted of a standardized questionnaire and an additional phone call in case of incomplete data. An event was defined as fatal myocardial infarction, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation or sudden cardiac death (SCD).
    Results: Complete follow-up was available for 293/312 athletes (94%) including 145 triathletes, 74 marathon runners and 74 cyclists after a median of 5.6 [quartiles 4,3, 6,4] years. Median age was 44 [35, 50] years at study enrollment. Spiroergometry did not reveal heart rhythm disturbances or significant ECG changes in the study population. LGE CMR revealed myocardial scar/focal fibrosis in 80 of 293 athletes (27%) including 7 athletes (2%) with ischemic subendocardial LGE of the left ventricle (LV), 16 athletes (6%) with major non-ischemic LGE of the LV and 57 athletes (19%) with minor non-ischemic LGE. During follow-up, two athletes experienced SCD. One marathon runner died during a training run and one cyclist died suddenly at rest. Both athletes had ischemic LGE of the LV. The event rate for SCD was 0.7% in the entire study population and 28% in the 7 athletes with ischemic LGE (p < 0.001 compared to athletes without LGE).
    Conclusions: Our findings indicate that athletes with ischemic LGE due to unrecognized myocardial infarction are at increased risk for SCD. Our findings highlight the value of LGE CMR to detect occult ischemic scar in asymptomatic apparently healthy athletes, which is of importance, since current guidelines do not recommend to incorporate routine cardiac imaging in pre-participation screening. Athletes with ischemic myocardial scar should at least consider to refrain from high-level exercise as an individual decision.

    Abstract Objectives: Parametric mapping constitutes a novel cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) technique enabling quantitative assessment of pathologic alterations of left ventricular (LV) myocardium. This study aimed to investigate the clinical utility of mapping techniques with and without contrast agent compared to standard CMR to predict adverse LV remodeling following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
    Materials and methods: A post hoc analysis was performed on sixty-four consecutively enrolled patients (57 ± 12 years, 54 men) with first-time reperfused AMI. Baseline CMR was obtained at 8 ± 5 days post-AMI, and follow-up CMR at 6 ± 1.4 months. T1/T2 mapping, T2-weighted, and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) acquisitions were performed at baseline and cine imaging was used to determine adverse LV remodeling, defined as end-diastolic volume increase by 20% at 6 months.
    Results: A total of 11 (17%) patients developed adverse LV remodeling. At baseline, patients with LV remodeling showed larger edema (30 ± 11 vs. 22 ± 10%LV; p < 0.05), infarct size (24 ± 11 vs. 14 ± 8%LV; p < 0.001), extracellular volume (ECV
    Conclusion: In this study, ECV
    Clinical relevance statement: This study demonstrates the predictive value of contrast-enhanced and non-contrast as well as conventional and novel CMR techniques for the development of LV remodeling following AMI, which might help define precise CMR endpoints in experimental and clinical myocardial infarction trials.
    Key points: • Multiparametric CMR provides insights into left ventricular remodeling at 6 months following an acute myocardial infarction. • Extracellular volume fraction and infarct size are the best predictors for adverse left ventricular remodeling. • Contrast-enhanced T1 mapping has a better predictive performance than non-contrast standard CMR and T1/T2 mapping.

    Abstract Objectives: Long-term toxicities of germ cell cancer (GCC) treatment are of particular importance in young men with a life expectancy of several decades after curative treatment. This study aimed to investigate the long-term effects of platinum-based chemotherapy on cardiac function and myocardial tissue in GCC survivors by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.
    Methods: Asymptomatic GCC survivors ≥ 3 years after platinum-based chemotherapy and age-matched healthy controls underwent CMR assessment, including left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction (EF), strain analysis, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging, and T1/T2 mapping.
    Results: Forty-four survivors (age 44 [interquartile range, IQR 37-52] years; follow-up time 10 [IQR 5-15] years after chemotherapy) and 21 controls were evaluated. LV- and RVEF were lower in GCC survivors compared to controls (LVEF 56 ± 5% vs. 59 ± 5%, p = 0.017; RVEF 50 ± 7% vs. 55 ± 7%, p = 0.008). Seven percent (3/44) of survivors showed reduced LVEF (< 50%), and 41% (18/44) showed borderline LVEF (50-54%). The strain analysis revealed significantly reduced deformation compared to controls (LV global longitudinal strain [GLS] -13 ± 2% vs. -15 ± 1%, p < 0.001; RV GLS -15 ± 4% vs. -19 ± 4%, p = 0.005). Tissue characterization revealed focal myocardial fibrosis in 9 survivors (20%) and lower myocardial native T1 times in survivors compared to controls (1202 ± 25 ms vs. 1226 ± 37 ms, p = 0.016). Attenuated LVEF was observed after two cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy (54 ± 5% vs. 62 ± 5%, p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: Based on CMR evaluation, combination chemotherapy with cumulative cisplatin ≥ 200 mg/m
    Clinical relevance statement: Platinum-based chemotherapy is associated with decreased systolic function, non-ischemic focal myocardial scar, and decreased T1 times in asymptomatic long-term germ cell cancer survivors. Clinicians should be particularly aware of the risk of cardiac toxicity after platinum-based chemotherapy.
    Key points: • Platinum-based chemotherapy is associated with attenuation of biventricular systolic function, lower myocardial T1 relaxation times, and non-ischemic late gadolinium enhancement. • Decreased systolic function and non-ischemic late gadolinium enhancement are associated with a cumulative cisplatin dose of  ≥ 200 mg/m

    Abstract Objectives: Parametric cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) techniques have improved the diagnosis of pathologies. However, the primary tool for differentiating non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) from myocarditis is still a visual assessment of conventional signal-intensity-based images. This study aimed at analyzing the ability of parametric compared to conventional techniques to visually differentiate ischemic from non-ischemic myocardial injury patterns.
    Methods: Twenty NSTEMI patients, twenty infarct-like myocarditis patients, and twenty controls were examined using cine, T2-weighted CMR (T2w) and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging and T1/T2 mapping on a 1.5 T scanner. CMR images were presented in random order to two experienced fully blinded observers, who had to assign them to three categories by a visual analysis: NSTEMI, myocarditis, or healthy.
    Results: The conventional approach (cine, T2w and LGE combined) had the best diagnostic accuracy with 92% (95%CI: 81-97) for NSTEMI and 86% (95%CI: 71-94) for myocarditis. The diagnostic accuracies using T1 maps were 88% (95%CI: 74-95) and 80% (95%CI: 62-91), 84% (95%CI: 67-93) and 74% (95%CI: 54-87) for LGE, and 83% (95%CI: 66-92) and 73% (95%CI: 53-87) for T2w. The accuracies for cine (72% (95%CI: 52-86) and 60% (95%CI: 38-78)) and T2 maps (62% (95%CI: 40-79) and 47% (95%CI: 28-68)) were significantly lower compared to the conventional approach (p < 0.001 and p < 0.0001).
    Conclusions: The conventional approach provided a reliable visual discrimination between NSTEMI, myocarditis, and controls. The diagnostic accuracy of a visual pattern analysis of T1 maps was not significantly inferior, whereas the diagnostic accuracy of T2 maps was not sufficient in this context.
    Clinical relevance statement: The ability of parametric compared to conventional CMR techniques to visually differentiate ischemic from non-ischemic myocardial injury patterns can avoid potentially unnecessary invasive coronary angiography and help to shorten CMR protocols and to reduce the need of gadolinium contrast agents.
    Key points: • A visual differentiation of ischemic from non-ischemic patterns of myocardial injury is reliably achieved by a combination of conventional CMR techniques (cine, T2-weighted and LGE imaging). • There is no significant difference in accuracies between visual pattern analysis on native T1 maps without providing quantitative values and a conventional combined approach for differentiating non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, infarct-like myocarditis, and controls. • T2 maps do not provide a sufficient diagnostic accuracy for visual pattern analysis for differentiating non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, infarct-like myocarditis, and controls.

    Abstract Aim: To evaluate the ability of single heartbeat fast-strain encoded (SENC) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) derived myocardial strain to discriminate between different forms of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH).
    Methods: 314 patients (228 with hypertensive heart disease (HHD), 45 with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), 41 with amyloidosis, 22 competitive athletes, and 33 healthy controls) were systematically analysed. LV ejection fraction (LVEF), LV mass index and interventricular septal (IVS) thickness, T1 mapping and atypical late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) were assessed. In addition, the percentage of LV myocardial segments with strain ≤ - 17% (%normal myocardium) was determined.
    Results: Patients with amyloidosis and HCM exhibited the highest IVS thickness (17.4 ± 3.3 mm and 17.4 ± 6 mm, respectively, p < 0.05 vs. all other groups), whereas patients with amyloidosis showed the highest LV mass index (95.1 ± 20.1 g/m
    Conclusion: Fast-SENC derived myocardial strain is a valuable tool for differentiating between athletes vs. HCM and athletes vs. HHD. Combining strain and LGE data is useful for differentiating between HHD vs. HCM and HCM vs. cardiac amyloidosis.

    Abstract Background: Implementation of four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance (4D Flow MR) in clinical routine requires awareness of confounders.
    Purpose: To investigate inter-vendor comparability of 4D Flow MR derived aortic hemodynamic parameters, assess scan-rescan repeatability, and intra- and interobserver reproducibility.
    Study type: Prospective multicenter study.
    Population: Fifteen healthy volunteers (age 24.5 ± 5.3 years, 8 females).
    Field strength/sequence: 3 T, vendor-provided and clinically used 4D Flow MR sequences of each site.
    Assessment: Forward flow volume, peak velocity, average, and maximum wall shear stress (WSS) were assessed via nine planes (P1-P9) throughout the thoracic aorta by a single observer (AD, 2 years of experience). Inter-vendor comparability as well as scan-rescan, intra- and interobserver reproducibility were examined.
    Statistical tests: Equivalence was tested setting the 95% confidence interval of intraobserver and scan-rescan difference as the limit of clinical acceptable disagreement. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman plots were used for scan-rescan reproducibility and intra- and interobserver agreement. A P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. ICCs ≥ 0.75 indicated strong correlation (>0.9: excellent, 0.75-0.9: good).
    Results: Ten volunteers finished the complete study successfully. 4D flow derived hemodynamic parameters between scanners of three different vendors are not equivalent exceeding the equivalence range. P3-P9 differed significantly between all three scanners for forward flow (59.1 ± 13.1 mL vs. 68.1 ± 12.0 mL vs. 55.4 ± 13.1 mL), maximum WSS (1842.0 ± 190.5 mPa vs. 1969.5 ± 398.7 mPa vs. 1500.6 ± 247.2 mPa), average WSS (1400.0 ± 149.3 mPa vs. 1322.6 ± 211.8 mPa vs. 1142.0 ± 198.5 mPa), and peak velocity between scanners I vs. III (114.7 ± 12.6 cm/s vs. 101.3 ± 15.6 cm/s). Overall, the plane location at the sinotubular junction (P1) presented most inter-vendor stability (forward: 78.5 ± 15.1 mL vs. 80.3 ± 15.4 mL vs. 79.5 ± 19.9 mL [P = 0.368]; peak: 126.4 ± 16.7 cm/s vs. 119.7 ± 13.6 cm/s vs. 111.2 ± 22.6 cm/s [P = 0.097]). Scan-rescan reproducibility and intra- and interobserver variability were good to excellent (ICC ≥ 0.8) with best agreement for forward flow (ICC ≥ 0.98).
    Data conclusion: The clinical protocol used at three different sites led to differences in hemodynamic parameters assessed by 4D flow.
