    Abstract Background: Using serial imaging over time, this case reviews the natural history of co-morbid Type two diabetes (T2D) and apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and assesses the potential combined impact on myocardial structure and perfusion.
    Case summary: A 59-year-old patient with concomitant T2D and an apical phenotype of HCM was seen over a 11-year period with a significant burden of anginal chest pain. Chest pain was refractory to anti-anginal medical therapy and persisted at on-going follow-up. Multi-modality imaging demonstrated significant deterioration in coronary microvascular function and increased myocardial scar burden despite unobstructed epicardial coronary arteries.
    Discussion: Comorbidity with T2D and apical HCM resulted in a significant increase in myocardial fibrosis and deterioration in coronary microvascular function.

    Abstract Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease. In patients with T2D and established CV disease, selective inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) have been shown to decrease CV and all-cause mortality, and heart failure (HF) admissions. Utilising CV magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) by FreeStyle Libre Pro Sensor, we aim to explore the mechanisms of action which give Empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, its beneficial CV effects and compare these to the effects of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor Sitagliptin.
    Methods: This is a single centre, open-label, cross-over trial conducted at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Participants are randomised for the order of treatment and receive 3 months therapy with Empagliflozin, and 3 months therapy with Sitagliptin sequentially. Twenty-eight eligible T2D patients with established ischaemic heart disease will be recruited. Patients undergo serial CMR scans on three visits.
    Discussion: The primary outcome measure is the myocardial perfusion reserve in remote myocardium. We hypothesise that Empaglifozin treatment is associated with improvements in myocardial blood flow and reductions in myocardial interstitial fibrosis, independent of CGM measured glycemic control in patients with T2D and established CV disease.
    Trial registration: This study has full research ethics committee approval (REC: 18/YH/0190) and data collection is anticipated to finish in December 2021. This study was retrospectively registered at https://doi.org/10.1186/ISRCTN82391603 and monitored by the University of Leeds. The study results will be submitted for publication within 6 months of completion.

    Abstract Background: When feasible, guidelines recommend mitral valve repair (MVr) over mitral valve replacement (MVR) to treat primary mitral regurgitation (MR), based upon historic outcome studies and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) reverse remodeling studies. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) offers reference standard biventricular assessment with superior MR quantification compared to TTE. Using serial CMR in primary MR patients, we aimed to investigate cardiac reverse remodeling and residual MR post-MVr vs MVR with chordal preservation.
    Methods: 83 patients with ≥ moderate-severe MR on TTE were prospectively recruited. 6-min walk tests (6MWT) and CMR imaging including cine imaging, aortic/pulmonary through-plane phase contrast imaging, T1 maps and late-gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) imaging were performed at baseline and 6 months after mitral surgery or watchful waiting (control group).
    Results: 72 patients completed follow-up (Controls = 20, MVr = 30 and MVR = 22). Surgical groups demonstrated comparable baseline cardiac indices and co-morbidities. At 6-months, MVr and MVR groups demonstrated comparable improvements in 6MWT distances (+ 57 ± 54 m vs + 64 ± 76 m respectively, p = 1), reduced indexed left ventricular end-diastolic volumes (LVEDVi; - 29 ± 21 ml/m
    Conclusion: In primary MR, MVR with chordal preservation may offer comparable cardiac reverse remodeling and functional benefits at 6-months when compared to MVr. Larger, multicenter CMR studies are required, which if the findings are confirmed could impact future surgical practice.

    Abstract Objective: This study sought to assess whether diabetes affects coronary microvascular function in individuals with normal body weight.
    Methods: Seventy-five participants (30 patients with type 2 diabetes [T2D] who were overweight [O-T2D], 15 patients with T2D who were lean [LnT2D], 15 healthy volunteers who were lean [LnHV], and 15 healthy volunteers who were overweight [O-HV]) without established cardiovascular disease were recruited. Participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging for assessment of subcutaneous, epicardial, and visceral adipose tissue areas, adenosine stress myocardial blood flow (MBF), and cardiac structure and function.
    Results: Stress MBF was reduced only in the O-T2D group (mean [SD], LnHV = 2.07 [0.47] mL/g/min, O-HV = 2.08 [0.42] mL/g/min, LnT2D = 2.16 [0.36] mL/g/min, O-T2D = 1.60 [0.28] mL/g/min; p ≤ 0.0001). Accumulation of visceral fat was evident in the LnT2D group at similar levels to the O-HV group (LnHV = 127 [53] cm
    Conclusions: Patients with T2D and normal body weight do not show alterations in global stress MBF, but they do show significant increases in visceral adiposity. Patients with T2D who were overweight and had no prior cardiovascular disease showed an increase in visceral adiposity and significant reductions in stress MBF.

    Abstract Aims: The 2016 European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure Guidelines defined a new category: heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) of 40-49%. This new category was highlighted as having limited evidence and research was advocated into underlying characteristics, pathophysiology, and diagnosis. We used multi-parametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to define the cardiac phenotype of presumed non-ischaemic HFmrEF.
    Methods and results: Patients (N = 300, 62.7 ± 13 years, 63% males) with a clinical diagnosis of heart failure with no angina symptoms, history of myocardial infarction, or coronary intervention were prospectively recruited. Patients underwent clinical assessment and CMR including T1 mapping, extracellular volume (ECV) mapping, late gadolinium enhancement, and measurement of myocardial blood flow at rest and maximal hyperaemia. Of 273 patients in the final analysis, 93 (34%) patients were categorized as HFmrEF, 46 (17%) as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and 134 (49%) as heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Nineteen (20%) patients with HFmrEF had evidence of occult ischaemic heart disease. Diffuse fibrosis and hyperaemic myocardial blood flow were similar in HFmrEF and HFpEF, but HFmrEF showed significantly lower native T1 (1311 ± 32 vs. 1340 ± 45 ms, P < 0.001), ECV (24.6 ± 3.2 vs. 26.3 ± 3.1%, P < 0.001), and higher myocardial perfusion reserve (2.75 ± 0.84 vs. 2.28 ± 0.84, P < 0.001) compared with HFrEF.
    Conclusion: Patients with HFmrEF share most phenotypic characteristics with HFpEF, including the degree of microvascular impairment and fibrosis, but have a high prevalence of occult ischaemic heart disease similar to HFrEF. Further work is needed to confirm how the phenotype of HFmrEF responds to medical therapy.

    Abstract Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with worsened clinical outcomes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. We sought to investigate whether HCM patients with T2DM comorbidity exhibit adverse cardiac alterations in myocardial energetics, function, perfusion, or tissue characteristics.
    Research design and methods: A total of 55 participants with concomitant HCM and T2DM (HCM-DM) (n = 20) or isolated HCM (n = 20) and healthy volunteers (HV) (n = 15) underwent 31P-MRS and cardiovascular MRI. The HCM groups were matched for HCM phenotype.
    Results: Mean ± SD European Society of Cardiology sudden cardiac death risk scores were comparable between the HCM groups (HCM 2.2 ± 1.5%, HCM-DM 1.9 ± 1.2%; P = not significant), and sarcomeric mutations were equally common. HCM-DM patients had the highest median NT-proBNP levels (HV 42 ng/L [interquartile range 35-66], HCM 298 ng/L [157-837], HCM-DM 726 ng/L [213-8,695]; P < 0.0001). Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, mass, and wall thickness were similar between the HCM groups. HCM-DM patients displayed a greater degree of fibrosis burden with higher scar percentage and lower global longitudinal strain compared with HCM patients. PCr/ATP (the relative concentrations of phosphocreatine and ATP) was significantly lower in the HCM-DM group than in both HCM and HV (HV 2.17 ± 0.49, HCM 1.93 ± 0.38, HCM-DM 1.54 ± 0.27; P = 0.002). In a similar pattern, stress myocardial blood flow was significantly lower in the HCM-DM group than in both HCM and HV (HV 2.06 ± 0.42 mL/min/g, HCM 1.74 ± 0.44 mL/min/g, HCM-DM 1.39 ± 0.42 mL/min/g; P = 0.002).
    Conclusions: We show for the first time that HCM-DM patients display greater reductions in myocardial energetics, perfusion, and contractile function and higher myocardial scar burden and serum NT-proBNP levels compared with patients with isolated HCM despite similar LV mass and wall thickness and presence of sarcomeric mutations. These adverse phenotypic features may be important components of the adverse clinical manifestation attributable to a combined presence of HCM and T2DM.

    Abstract Background Cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) allows for in vivo characterization of myocardial microstructure. In cDTI, mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy (FA)-markers of magnitude and anisotropy of diffusion of water molecules-are known to change after myocardial infarction. However, little is known about regional changes in helix angle (HA) and secondary eigenvector angle (E2A), which reflects orientations of laminar sheetlets, and their association with long-term recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Purpose To assess serial changes in cDTI biomarkers in participants following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and to determine their associations with long-term left ventricular remodeling. Materials and Methods In this prospective study, 30 participants underwent cardiac MRI (3 T) after STEMI at 5 days and 3 months after reperfusion (National Institute of Health Research study no. 33963 and Research Ethics no. REC17/YH/0062). Spin-echo cDTI with second-order motion-compensation (approximate duration, 13 minutes; three sections; 18 noncollinear diffusion-weighted scans with
