    Abstract Background: Stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance can be performed without rest perfusion for the quantification of ischemia burden. However, the optimal method of analysis is uncertain.
    Methods: We identified 666 patients from CE-MARC (Clinical Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Coronary Heart Disease) with complete stress perfusion, rest perfusion, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and quantitative coronary angiography data. For each segment of the 16-segment model, perfusion was visually graded during stress and rest imaging, with infarct transmurality assessed from LGE imaging. In the stress-LGE analysis, a segment was defined as ischemic if it had a subendocardial perfusion defect with no infarction. Rest perfusion was not used in this analysis. We compared the diagnostic accuracy of stress-LGE analysis against quantitative coronary angiography and the stress-rest method validated in the original CE-MARC analysis. The diagnostic accuracy of the stress-LGE method was evaluated with different thresholds of infarct transmurality used to define whether an infarcted segment had peri-infarct ischemia.
    Results: The optimal stress-LGE analysis classified all segments with a stress perfusion defect as ischemic unless they had >75% infarct transmurality (area under the curve, 0.843; sensitivity, 75.6%; specificity, 93.1%;
    Conclusions: In this analysis of CE-MARC, the optimum definition of inducible ischemia was the presence of a stress-induced perfusion defect without transmural infarction. This definition improved the diagnostic accuracy compared with the stress-rest analysis validated in the original study. The absence of ischemia by either analysis strategy conferred a favorable long-term prognosis.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is frequently used in the investigation of suspected cardiac disease in athletes. In this review, we discuss how CMR can be used in athletes with suspected cardiomyopathy with particular reference to volumetric analysis and tissue characterization. We also discuss the finding of non-ischaemic fibrosis in athletes describing its prevalence, distribution and clinical importance.
    Recent findings: The strengths of CMR include high spatial resolution, unrestricted imaging planes and lack of ionizing radiation. Regular physical exercise leads to cardiac remodeling that in certain situations can be clinically challenging to differentiate from various cardiomyopathies. Thorough morphological assessment by CMR is fundamental to ensuring accurate diagnosis. Developments in tissue characterization by late gadolinium enhancement and T1 mapping have the potential to be powerful additional tools in this challenging clinical situation. Using late gadolinium enhancement, it is also possible to detect non-ischaemic fibrosis in athletes who do not have overt cardiomyopathy. The mechanisms of this fibrosis are unclear; however, it does appear to be clinically important. We also review data on the prevalence of non-ischaemic fibrosis in athletes. CMR is a powerful tool to aid in the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy in athletes. It may also have a future role in assessing fibrosis related to long-term participation in sport.

    Abstract Background: Left atrial (LA) assessment is an important marker of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) accurately quantifies LA volume and function based on biplane long-axis imaging. We aimed to validate single-plane-derived LA indices against the biplane method to simplify the post-processing of cine CMR.
    Methods: In this study, 100 patients from Leeds Teaching Hospitals were used as the derivation cohort. Bias correction for the single plane method was applied and subsequently validated in 79 subjects.
    Results: There were significant differences between the biplane and single plane mean LA maximum and minimum volumes and LA ejection fraction (EF) (all
    Conclusions: LA volumetric and functional assessment by the single plane method has a systematic bias compared to the biplane method. After bias correction, single plane LA volume and function are comparable to the biplane method.

    Abstract Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is recommended in international guidelines for patients with heart failure due to important left ventricular systolic dysfunction (or heart failure with reduced ejection fraction) and ventricular conduction tissue disease. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) represents the most powerful imaging tool for dynamic assessment of the volumes and function of cardiac chambers but is rarely utilized in patients with CRT due to limitations on the device, programming and scanning. In this review, we explore the known utility of CMR in this cohort with discussion of the risks and potential benefits of scanning whilst CRT is active, including a practical strategy for conducting high quality scans safely. Our contention is that imaging in patients with CRT could be improved further by keeping resynchronization therapy active with resultant benefits on research and also patient outcomes.

    Abstract The syndrome of heart failure is prevalent and a cause of significant morbidity and mortality. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) offers a unique method to quantify the extent of left ventricular dysfunction and also characterize the myocardium, particularly according to the presence and distribution of late gadolinium enhancement. The prognostic value of late gadolinium enhancement in various etiologies of heart failure has been demonstrated. Newer techniques that non-invasively assess the extracellular volume may also add to the prognostic value of CMR in heart failure. Management decisions in patients with heart failure can often be complex. CMR can provide useful information when planning cardiac device therapy and the CMR assessment of viability is key when planning revascularization.

    Abstract Aims: Left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) can be estimated from cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). We aimed to investigate whether CMR-derived LVFP is associated with signs, symptoms, and prognosis in patients with recently diagnosed heart failure (HF).
    Methods and results: This study recruited 454 patients diagnosed with HF who underwent same-day CMR and clinical assessment between February 2018 and January 2020. CMR-derived LVFP was calculated, as previously, from long- and short-axis cines. CMR-derived LVFP association with symptoms and signs of HF was investigated. Patients were followed for median 2.9 years (interquartile range 1.5-3.6 years) for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, HF hospitalization, non-fatal stroke, and non-fatal myocardial infarction. The mean age was 62 ± 13 years, 36% were female (n = 163), and 30% (n = 135) had raised LVFP. Forty-seven per cent of patients had an ejection fraction < 40% during CMR assessment. Patients with raised LVFP were more likely to have pleural effusions [hazard ratio (HR) 3.2, P = 0.003], orthopnoea (HR 2.0, P = 0.008), lower limb oedema (HR 1.7, P = 0.04), and breathlessness (HR 1.7, P = 0.01). Raised CMR-derived LVFP was associated with a four-fold risk of HF hospitalization (HR 4.0, P < 0.0001) and a three-fold risk of MACE (HR 3.1, P < 0.0001). In the multivariable model, raised CMR-derived LVFP was independently associated with HF hospitalization (adjusted HR 3.8, P = 0.0001) and MACE (adjusted HR 3.0, P = 0.0001).
    Conclusions: Raised CMR-derived LVFP is strongly associated with symptoms and signs of HF. In addition, raised CMR-derived LVFP is independently associated with subsequent HF hospitalization and MACE.

    Abstract Background: South Asians have a low prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) compared with Caucasians despite having a higher prevalence of conventional risk factors for the arrhythmia. The reason for this disparity is uncertain but may be due to ethnic differences in atrial morphology. This study examines the association between ethnicity and left atrial (LA) size and function in South Asian and Caucasian subjects using the reference technique of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
    Hypothesis: South Asians have smaller LA size and therefore increased LA function.
    Methods: Retrospective case-control study of 60 South Asian and 60 Caucasian patients who had undergone a clinically indicated MRI between April 2010 and October 2017 and had been found to have a structurally normal heart. LA and left ventricular (LV) volume and function were assessed and compared between the ethnicities.
    Results: In comparison with Caucasians, South Asians had significantly lower minimum (27.7 ± 11.1 mL vs 34.9 ± 12.3 mL, P = 0.002) and maximum LA volumes (64.7 ± 21.1 mL vs 80.9 ± 22.5 mL, P < 0.001), lower LV end-diastolic volume (P < 0.001), lower LV stroke volume (P < 0.001), and lower LV mass (P = 0.022) and these values remained significant after correcting for body surface area. Further analysis revealed that LA volume was independently associated with South Asian ethnicity. There was no difference in LA function between the ethnic groups.
    Conclusions: South Asians have reduced LA volumes and a proportionally smaller heart size in comparison to Caucasians. Smaller LA size may protect against the development of AF by reducing the risk of reentrant circuit formation and atrial fibrosis development.

    Abstract Background: Four-dimensional-flow cardiac MR (4DF-MR) offers advantages in primary mitral regurgitation. The relationship between 4DF-MR-derived mitral regurgitant volume (MR-Rvol) and the post-operative left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling has not yet been established.
    Purpose: To ascertain if the 4DF-MR-derived MR-Rvol correlates with the LV reverse remodeling in primary mitral regurgitation.
    Study type: Prospective, single-center, two arm, interventional vs. nonintervention observational study.
    Population: Forty-four patients (male N = 30; median age 68 [59-75]) with at least moderate primary mitral regurgitation; either awaiting mitral valve surgery (repair [MVr], replacement [MVR]) or undergoing "watchful waiting" (WW).
    Field strength/sequence: 5 T/Balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) sequence/Phase contrast imaging/Multishot echo-planar imaging pulse sequence (five shots).
    Assessment: Patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), phase-contrast MR (PMRI), 4DF-MR and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) at baseline, and a follow-up PMRI and 6MWT at 6 months. MR-Rvol was quantified by PMRI, 4DF-MR, and TTE by one observer. The pre-operative MR-Rvol was correlated with the post-operative decrease in the LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVi).
    Statistical tests: Included Student t-test/Mann-Whitney test/Fisher's exact test, Bland-Altman plots, linear regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic curves. Statistical significance was defined as P < 0.05.
    Results: While Bland-Altman plots demonstrated similar bias between all the modalities, the limits of agreement were narrower between 4DF-MR and PMRI (bias 15; limits of agreement -36 mL to 65 mL), than between 4DF-MR and TTE (bias -8; limits of agreement -106 mL to 90 mL) and PMRI and TTE (bias -23; limits of agreement -105 mL to 59 mL). Linear regression analysis demonstrated a significant association between the MR-Rvol and the post-operative decrease in the LVEDVi, when the MR-Rvol was quantified by PMRI and 4DF-MR, but not by TTE (P = 0.73). 4DF-MR demonstrated the best diagnostic performance for reduction in the post-operative LVEDVi with the largest area under the curve (4DF-MR 0.83; vs. PMRI 0.78; and TTE 0.51; P = 0.89).
    Data conclusion: This study demonstrates the potential clinical utility of 4DF-MR in the assessment of primary mitral regurgitation.
