BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between myocardial fibrosis characteristics (percentage, localization, heterogeneity), evaluated by a non-invasive method such as cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), with the extrasystolic ventricular arrhythmia in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
The study prospectively included 173 consecutive patients who underwent electrocardiogram Holter monitoring, transthoracic echocardiography and CMR with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE).
In univariate analysis, both the presence (OR=1.05, 95% CI=1.01-1.09; p=0.015), the percentage of fibrosis >15% (p=0.018), the septum size, the fibrosis in either lateral or septal walls (p=0.004), as well as fibrosis in the midwall (p=0.019) were statistically significant higher in the group with extrasystolic arrhythmia. After adjustment, the percentage of fibrosis >15%, had higher odds of extra systolic arrhythmia [OR=3.78 (95% CI=1.52-10.62, p=0.007)].
The presence, percentage, and localisation of left ventricle myocardial fibrosis characterized by LGE-CMR was associated with ventricular arrhythmias.
背景/目的:本研究旨在评估通过心脏磁共振(CMR)等非侵入性方法评估的心肌纤维化特征(百分比、定位、异质性)与非缺血性心肌病患者室性心律失常之间的关系。
本研究前瞻性纳入了 173 例连续接受心电图 Holter 监测、经胸超声心动图和钆延迟增强(LGE)CMR 的患者。
在单因素分析中,室性心律失常组的室性早搏(OR=1.05,95%CI=1.01-1.09;p=0.015)、纤维化百分比>15%(p=0.018)、室间隔大小、侧壁或室间隔纤维化(p=0.004)以及中壁纤维化(p=0.019)均有统计学意义。多因素调整后,纤维化百分比>15%的患者发生室性心律失常的可能性更高[OR=3.78(95%CI=1.52-10.62,p=0.007)]。
LGE-CMR 特征性左心室心肌纤维化的存在、百分比和定位与室性心律失常相关。
