    Abstract Cine Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for cardiac function evaluation, incorporating ejection fraction (EF) and strain as vital indicators of abnormal deformation. Rare pathologies like Duchenne muscular dystrophies (DMD) are monitored with repeated late gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) CMR for identification of myocardial fibrosis. However, it is judicious to reduce repeated gadolinium exposure and rather employ strain analysis from cine CMR. This solution is limited so far since full strain curves are not comparable between individual cardiac cycles and current practice mainly neglects diastolic deformation patterns. Our novel Deep Learning-based approach derives strain values aligned by key frames throughout the cardiac cycle. In a reproducibility scenario (57+82 patients), our results reveal five times more significant differences (22 vs. 4) between patients with scar and without, enhancing scar detection by +30%, improving detection of patients with preserved EF by +61%, with an overall sensitivity/specificity of 82/81%.

    Abstract Anomalous aortic origin of right coronary artery (AAORCA) is associated with myocardial ischemia and sudden cardiac arrest/death. Risk stratification remains challenging and relies upon provocative test results. This study describes the utility of dobutamine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (DSCMR) and potential benefit of strain analysis in children with AAORCA. All patients less than 21 years of age with AAORCA who underwent DSCMR between July 2018 and December 2022 were included. Visual wall motion abnormalities (VWMA) at rest and during protocolized increments of dobutamine infusion were assessed. Regional and global left ventricular circumferential (GCS) and radial (GRS) strain using 2-dimension Feature tracking (2D-FT) analysis (cvi42, Circle Cardiovascular Imaging Inc.) were calculated at rest and peak response. Of the total 54 DSCMR studies performed in 51 children with median age (IQR) of 13.5 (11-15) years, FT analysis was reliably performed in 52 (96%) studies. None had VWMA. The absolute change in GCS and GRS from rest to peak dobutamine stress was 4% (1-6%) and 11% (4-18%), respectively. There was no significant difference in GCS and GRS in patients with exertional symptoms vs no/non-exertional symptoms as well as between those considered to be high-risk vs low-risk anatomical features. DSCMR-derived 2D-FT strain analysis is feasible to assess myocardial deformation in children with AAORCA and may enhance this method of provocative testing. Although there were no statically significant differences in GCS and GRS values between high and low-risk subgroups, the absolute change in GCS between rest and peak stress is diminished when compared to normal adult reports.

    Abstract Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a congenital anomaly that is uniformly fatal in infancy without immediate treatment. The standard treatment consists of an initial Norwood procedure (stage 1) followed some months later by stage 2 palliation (S2P). The ideal timing of the S2P is uncertain. The Single Ventricle Reconstruction Trial (SVRT) randomized the procedure used in the initial Norwood operation, leaving the timing of the S2P to the discretion of the surgical team. To estimate the causal effect of the timing of S2P, we propose to impute the potential post-S2P survival outcomes using statistical models under the Rubin Causal Model framework. With this approach, it is straightforward to estimate the causal effect of S2P timing on post-S2P survival by directly comparing the imputed potential outcomes. Specifically, we consider a lognormal model and a restricted cubic spline model, evaluating their performance in Monte Carlo studies. When applied to the SVRT data, the models give somewhat different imputed values, but both support the conclusion that the optimal time for the S2P is at 6 months after the Norwood procedure.

    Abstract Background: Intravenous adenosine induces pharmacological stress by causing vasodilatation and thus carries the risk of severe hypotension when combined with vasodilatory effects of anesthetic agents.
    Objective: This study describes our experience with a reduced dose adenosine cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol in young children under general anesthesia (GA).
    Materials and methods: This is a retrospective report of all patients from birth to 18 years who underwent adenosine stress cardiac MRI under GA between August 2018 and November 2022. Based on our anecdotal experience of severe adverse effects in patients receiving adenosine infusion under GA and in discussion with the pediatric anesthesia team, we developed a modified protocol starting at a dose of 110 mcg/kg/min with incremental escalation to a full dose of 140 mcg/kg/min to achieve desired hemodynamic effect.
    Results: Twenty-two children (mean age 6.5 years, mean weight 28 kg) satisfied the inclusion criteria. The diagnoses included Kawasaki disease (7), anomalous aortic origin of left coronary artery (3), anomalous aortic origin of right coronary artery (2), coronary fistula (3), repaired d-transposition of great arteries (2), repaired anomalous left coronary artery from pulmonary artery (2), repaired truncus arteriosus with left coronary artery occlusion (1), extracardiac-Fontan with left coronary artery myocardial bridge (1), and post heart transplantation (1). Nine patients needed dose escalation beyond 110 mcg/kg/min. Two patients had transient hypotension during testing (systemic blood pressure drop > 25 mmHg). No patient developed significant heart block or bronchospasm. Six patients (repeat study in one) demonstrated inducible perfusion defects (27%) on stress perfusion sequences-5 of whom had confirmed significant coronary abnormalities on angiography or direct surgical inspection.
    Conclusion: A reduced/incremental dose adenosine stress cardiac MRI protocol under GA in children is safe and feasible. This avoids severe hypotension which is both unsafe and may result in inaccurate data.

    Abstract Infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome require an initial Norwood operation, followed some months later by a stage 2 palliation (S2P). The timing of S2P is critical for the operation's success and the infant's survival, but the optimal timing, if one exists, is unknown. We attempt to identify the optimal timing of S2P by analyzing data from the Single Ventricle Reconstruction Trial (SVRT), which randomized patients between two different types of Norwood procedure. In the SVRT, the timing of the S2P was chosen by the medical team; thus with respect to this exposure, the trial constitutes an observational study, and the analysis must adjust for potential confounding. To accomplish this, we propose an extended propensity score analysis that describes the time to surgery as a function of confounders in a discrete competing‐risk model. We then apply inverse probability weighting to estimate a spline hazard model for predicting survival from the time of S2P. Our analysis suggests that S2P conducted at 6 months after the Norwood gives the patient the best post‐S2P survival. Thus, we place the optimal time slightly later than a previous analysis in the medical literature that did not account for competing risks of death and heart transplantation.

    Abstract Clinical indicators of heart function are often limited in their ability to accurately evaluate the current mechanical state of the myocardium. Biomechanical modeling has been shown to be a promising tool in addition to clinical indicators. By providing a patient-specific measure of myocardial active stress (contractility), biomechanical modeling can enhance the precision of the description of patient's pathophysiology at any given point in time. In this work we aim to explore the ability of biomechanical modeling to predict the response of ventricular mechanics to the progressively decreasing afterload in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) patients undergoing pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) for significant residual right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO). We used 19 patient-specific models of patients with rTOF prior to pulmonary valve replacement (PVR), denoted as PSM

    Abstract The interventional cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (iCMR) catheterization procedure is feasible and safe for children and adults with pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart defects (CHD). With iCMR, the calculation of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in children with complex CHD with multilevel shunt lesions is accurate. In this paper, we describe the role of the MRI-guided right-sided cardiac catheterization procedure to accurately estimate PVR in the setting of multiple shunt lesions (ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus) and to address the clinical question of operability in an adolescent with trisomy 21 and severe pulmonary hypertension.
