To determine the prevalence and correlates of left atrial (LA) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) at cardiac MRI and its association with atrial fibrillation (AF) in a population-based sample from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).
In this secondary post hoc analysis of the MESA cohort (ClinicalTrials.gov no. NCT00005487), participants without AF underwent LGE cardiac MRI at the fifth examination (2010-2012). LA LGE burden was quantified using the image intensity ratio technique on biplane long-axis two-dimensional (2D) LGE images without fat saturation. Survival analysis was performed with log-rank testing and Cox regression.
Of 1697 participants (mean age, 67 years ± 9 [SD]; 872 men), 1035 (61%) had LA LGE, and 75 (4.4%) developed AF during follow-up (median, 3.95 years). At univariable analysis, LA LGE was associated with age (β = .010 [95% CI: .005, .015], < .001), diastolic blood pressure (β = .005 [95% CI: .001, .009], = .02), HbA1c level (β = .06 [95% CI: .02, .11], = .009), heart failure (β = .60 [95% CI: .11, 1.08], = .02), LA volume (β = .008 [95% CI: .004, .012], < .001), and LA function (emptying fraction, LA global longitudinal strain, LA early diastolic peak longitudinal strain rate, and LA late diastolic peak strain rate; all < .05). After adjusting for the variables in the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) AF score, LA LGE independently helped predict incident AF (hazard ratio = 1.46 [95% CI: 1.13, 1.88], = .003). The highest tertile (LGE > 2%) was twice as likely to develop AF.
Although limited by the 2D LGE technique employed, LA LGE was associated with adverse atrial remodeling and helped predict AF in a multiethnic population-based sample.Clinical trial registration no. NCT00005487 MR Imaging, Cardiac, Epidemiology © RSNA, 2023.
在动脉粥样硬化多族裔研究(MESA)的基于人群样本中,确定心脏磁共振成像(MRI)时左心房(LA)延迟钆增强(LGE)的患病率及其相关因素,以及它与心房颤动(AF)的关联。
在对MESA队列进行的这项二次事后分析(ClinicalTrials.gov编号:NCT00005487)中,无AF的参与者在第五次检查(2010 - 2012年)时接受了LGE心脏MRI检查。使用图像强度比技术在无脂肪饱和的双平面长轴二维(2D)LGE图像上对LA LGE负荷进行量化。采用对数秩检验和Cox回归进行生存分析。
1697名参与者(平均年龄67岁±9[标准差];872名男性)中,1035名(61%)有LA LGE,75名(4.4%)在随访期间(中位时间3.95年)发生了AF。单变量分析时,LA LGE与年龄(β = 0.010[95%置信区间:0.005,0.015],P < 0.001)、舒张压(β = 0.005[95%置信区间:0.001,0.009],P = 0.02)、糖化血红蛋白水平(β = 0.06[95%置信区间:0.02,0.11],P = 0.009)、心力衰竭(β = 0.60[95%置信区间:0.11,1.08],P = 0.02)、LA容积(β = 0.008[95%置信区间:0.004,0.012],P < 0.001)以及LA功能(排空分数、LA整体纵向应变、LA舒张早期纵向峰值应变率和LA舒张晚期峰值应变率;均P < 0.05)相关。在根据基因组流行病学心脏与衰老研究队列(CHARGE)AF评分对变量进行调整后,LA LGE独立有助于预测新发AF(风险比 = 1.46[95%置信区间:1.13,1.88],P = 0.003)。最高三分位数(LGE > 2%)发生AF 的可能性是两倍。
尽管受所采用的2D LGE技术限制,LA LGE与不良心房重构相关,并有助于在基于多族裔人群的样本中预测AF。临床试验注册号:NCT00005487 MR成像,心脏,流行病学 ©RSNA,2023
