    Abstract Despite remarkable improvements in the past two decades, the annual cardiovascular mortality rate has remained higher for women than for men. Pregnant women represent an underinvestigated population in clinical research, and the mechanisms of long-term cardiovascular complications in women with obstetric complications remain to be elucidated. Regarding advanced heart failure during pregnancy, interventional approaches are effective but still underutilised. Percutaneous mechanical circulatory support is a valuable option for peripartum cardiogenic shock, although its use during pregnancy is still limited. Survival rates have improved in recent years, but further emphasis on the importance of early recognition and initiation of heart failure treatment in this patient group is warranted. The aims of this review are to summarise the current literature on the implementation of mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock during pregnancy and delivery and to understand the role of percutaneous ventricular assist devices in the management of such conditions.

    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 In patients with acute myocardial injury secondary to coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging can identify the underlying pathology. We highlight a case of acute myocardial injury secondary to COVID-19, which demonstrated both epicardial vessel thrombosis and the recently described phenomenon of microvascular thrombosis. (

    Abstract We report the case of a 79-year-old man with stable angina who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention to a severe and calcified left circumflex lesion. Despite extensive preparation of the lesion with high-pressure balloon predilatation and rotablation, the implanted stent was grossly underexpanded and failed to respond to high-pressure balloon postdilatation. The patient was readmitted 6 weeks later for intravascular lithotripsy that resulted in excellent stent expansion. Coronary angiography with optical coherence tomography 4 months later revealed sustained acute lumen gain with no evidence of stent recoil or in-stent restenosis.

    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: 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.
    Evidence level: 2 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 5.

    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.
