    Title translation Acute and chronic cardiac involvement in COVID-19.
    Abstract Background: Infections with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) most frequently affect the lungs but may also result in cardiovascular involvement and cardiovascular complications. The heart can either be involved as part of a systemic infection or directly involved due to myocarditis or pericarditis as well as in hypoxia, volume overload, fever or thromboembolic complications. Moreover, pre-existing underlying cardiovascular diseases have a substantial influence on the prognosis of patients with COVID-19 infections.
    Method: This review article is based on a comprehensive literature search in the PubMed database on cardiac involvement and cardiac complications of COVID 19 infections, enriched by experiences in dealing with this disorder.
    Results and conclusion: Depending on the severity of the infection, cardiac involvement in a COVID 19 infection is observed in up to 50% of the patients. Besides echocardiography as the first-line examination method, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for assessment of the myocardial structure and cardiac computed tomography (CT) for assessment of coronary arteries and to rule out intracardiac thrombus formation represent important imaging modalities. The most important cardiac manifestations in COVID 19 infections are ischemic and inflammatory diseases. The imaging diagnostics play an important role in the acute as well as in the postinfectious phases.

    Abstract Background: The diagnosis of large vessel vasculitis (LVV) is often challenging due to the various clinical appearances and the low prevalence. Hybrid imaging by positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) is a highly relevant imaging modality for diagnostics and disease surveillance but may be associated with a significant amount of radiation dose especially in patients with complications.
    Objective: The aim of this retrospective analysis was to compare the image quality and impact of hybrid imaging methods PET/CT and PET/MRI on the potential for dose reduction.
    Methods: This retrospective single-center study included a cohort of 32 patients who were referred to PET/MRI for the evaluation of LVV, including graft infections and fever of unknown origin. This cohort was compared to a similar cohort of 37 patients who were examined with PET/CT in the same period. Mean radiation dose as well as image quality to establish a diagnosis were compared between the groups.
    Results: The mean radiation dose applied in PET/MRI was significantly lower when compared to PET/CT (mean 6.6 mSV vs. 31.7 mSV; p < 0.001). This effect was based on the partially multiphasic CT protocols. At the same time, diagnostic image quality using a 4-point scale showed similar results for both imaging modalities in the work-up of LVV.
    Conclusion: With PET/MRI, the radiation exposure can be significantly reduced with similar image quality and diagnostic impact. Patients with LVV have a higher risk of receiving a clinically relevant cumulative effective dose (CED) and PET/MRI should be made available to them.

    Abstract Among other imaging modalities, cardiac MRI is an established modality for the detection of myocardial ischemia and viability. With updated guidelines, the demand for this modality will increase in the coming years. The aim of noninvasive functional testing is to prove or rule out myocardial ischemia and viability using stress perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement.

    Abstract Introduction: Increased left atrial (LA) size is a risk factor for cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. It is closely related to left ventricular hypertrophy and chronic volume overload, both of which are common in hemodialysis. Calcimimetic treatment with etelcalcetide (ETL) previously showed an inhibitory effect on left ventricular mass index (LVMI) progression in this population.
    Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of the EtECAR-HD trial, where 62 patients were randomized to ETL or alfacalcidol (ALFA) for 1 year. LA volume index (LAVI) was measured using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The aim of the study was to investigate whether ETL was associated with a change of LAVI.
    Results: Median baseline levels of LAVI were 40 mL/m2 (31, 54 IQR) in the ETL group and 36 mL/m2 (26, 46 IQR) in the ALFA group. In the ITT population, the change of LAVI was 5.0 mL/m2 [95% CI: -0.04, 10] lower under ETL, compared to ALFA (p = 0.052, R2adj = 0.259). In the PP population, the difference in LAVI changes widened to 5.8 [95% CI: 0.36, 11], p = 0.037, R2adj = 0.302). Secondary analysis showed that the study delta of LVMI was correlated with the LAVI delta (r = 0.387) and that an inclusion of LVMI delta in the ANCOVA model mediated the effect on LAVI delta to β = 3.3 [95% CI: -0.04, 10] (p = 0.2, R2adj = 0.323). The same could not be observed for parameters assessing the volume status.
    Conclusions: The analysis indicates that ETL could inhibit LAVI progression compared with ALFA. This effect was mediated by the change of LVMI.

    Abstract Background: Calcimimetic therapy with etelcalcetide (ETEL) has been shown to attenuate the advancement of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy in hemodialysis patients measured by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). The aim of the study was to evaluate whether this effect is accompanied by alterations in LV function and myocardial composition.
    Methods: This was a post-hoc analysis of a randomized-controlled trial of ETEL versus Alfacalcidol (ALFA) in 62 hemodialysis patients. LV function was assessed using LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) on feature-tracking (FT) CMR. Myocardial tissue characteristics were analyzed using parametric T1 and T2 mapping.
    Results: Of the total study cohort (n = 62), 48 subjects completed both CMR scans with sufficient quality for FT analysis. In the one-year follow-up, LV GLS deteriorated in the ALFA group, whereas the ETEL group remained stable (LV GLS change: + 2.6 ± 4.6 versus + 0.3 ± 3.8; p = 0.045 when adjusting for randomization factors and baseline LV GLS). We did not observe a difference in the change of LVEF between the two groups (p = 0.513). The impact of ETEL treatment on LV GLS over time remained significant after additional adjustment for the change in LV mass during the study period. ETEL treatment did not significantly affect other CMR parameters. There were no changes in myocardial composition between treatment groups (T1 time change: + 15 ± 42 versus + 10 ± 50; p = 0.411; T2 time change: - 0.13 ± 2.45 versus - 0.70 ± 2.43; p = 0.652).
    Conclusions: In patients undergoing hemodialysis, treatment with ETEL was protective against deterioration of LV longitudinal function, as evaluated through FT CMR, when compared to the control therapy of ALFA. This effect was not mediated by the change in LV mass. Trial registration URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03182699 . Unique identifier: NCT03182699.

    Abstract Purpose: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of preinterventional imaging modalities in patients being evaluated for iliocaval venous recanalization and stent placement.
    Methods: Consecutive patients with iliocaval postthrombotic obstructions or nonthrombotic iliac vein lesions (NIVL), who were scheduled for recanalization, underwent duplex ultrasound (DUS), magnetic resonance venography (MRV), multiplanar venography (MPV), and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). The diagnostic accuracies of DUS, MRV, and MPV were analyzed using IVUS as reference.
    Results: A total of 216 limbs in 108 patients (80 patients with postthrombotic obstructions, 28 patients with NIVL) were examined. In patients with postthrombotic obstructions, the diagnostic sensitivities for the detection of lesions of the common femoral vein were 81% (95% CI 71-89%) for DUS, 76% (95% CI 65-85%) for MRV, and 86% (95% CI 76-93%) for MPV. The sensitivities for detecting lesions of the iliac veins were 96% (95% CI 89-99%) for DUS, 99% (95% CI 92-100%) for MRV, and 100% (95% CI 94-100%) for MPV. Regarding the inferior vena cava, the sensitivities were 44% (95% CI 24-65%) for DUS, 52% (95% CI 31-73%) for MRV, and 70% (95% CI 47-86%) for MPV. The sensitivities for detecting NIVL were 58% (95% CI 34-79%) for DUS, 90% (95% CI 68-97%) for MRV, and 95% (95% CI 73-99%) for MPV.
    Conclusion: In patients scheduled for recanalization of iliocaval postthrombotic obstructions, the sensitivities of DUS, MRV, and MPV were similar. In patients with suspected inferior vena cava involvement and in patients with NIVL, additional imaging with MR or conventional venography is required.
