Abstract
BACKGROUND: Risk stratification of ventricular arrhythmia remains complex in patients with ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether scar heterogeneity, quantified by mean entropy, predicts appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy. We hypothesized that higher mean entropy calculated from cardiac magnetic resonance texture analysis (CMR-TA) will predict appropriate ICD therapy. METHODS: Consecutive patients underwent CMR imaging before ICD implantation. Short-axis left ventricular scar was manually segmented. CMR-TA was performed using a Laplacian filter to extract and augment image features to create a scar texture from which histogram analysis of pixel intensity was used to calculate mean entropy. The primary end point was appropriate ICD therapy. RESULTS: A total of 114 patients underwent CMR-TA (ischemic cardiomyopathy [ICM]: n = 70; nonischemic cardiomyopathy [NICM]: n = 44) with a median follow-up of 955 days (interquartile range 691-1185 days). Mean entropy was significantly higher in the ICM group (5.7 ± 0.7 vs 5.5 ± 0.7; P= .045). Overall, 33 patients received appropriate ICD therapy. Using optimized cutoff values from receiver operating characteristic curves, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated time until first appropriate therapy was significantly shorter in the high mean entropy group (P = .003). Multivariable analysis showed that mean entropy was the sole predictor of appropriate ICD therapy (hazard ratio 1.882; 95% confidence interval 1.083-3.271; P = .025). In the ICM group, mean entropy remained an independent predictor of appropriate ICD therapy, whereas in the NICM group, precontrast T1 values were the sole predictor. CONCLUSION: Scar heterogeneity, quantified by mean entropy using CMR-TA, was an independent predictor of appropriate ICD therapy in the mixed cardiomyopathy cohort and ICM-only group, suggesting a potential role for CMR-TA in predicting ventricular arrhythmia and risk-stratifying patients for ICD implantation.
