Abstract
PURPOSE: To investigate the prognostic value of mechanical dyssynchrony evaluated by deformable registration algorithm (DRA) analysis of cardiac MRI (CMR) in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This secondary analysis of a prospective study (clinical trial no. ChiCTR1800017058) enrolled 409 patients (mean age, 48 years ± 14:300 men) with idiopathic DCM who underwent CMR between June 2012 and September 2018. Mechanical dyssynchrony was measured as standard deviation of time-to-peak (sdTTP) and uniformity ratio estimate (URE) indexes by DRA strain analysis. The primary endpoint included all-cause mortality and heart transplantation. The secondary endpoint included primary endpoint, aborted sudden cardiac death, and heart failure readmission. Cox regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were performed to identify the association between variables and outcomes. RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 25.1 months, 57 and 132 patients reached primary and secondary endpoints, respectively. Most URE indexes were significantly lower in patients reaching primary endpoint. In multivariable analysis, circumferential URE (CURE) at apical level was independently associated with primary endpoints (hazard ratio, 0.307 [95% CI: 0.106, 0.883]; P = .03) and secondary endpoints (hazard ratio, 0.452 [95% CI: 0.209, 0.979]; P = .04), whereas most sdTTP measures were not. Furthermore, among patients with left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 35% or presence of late gadolinium enhancement, those with CURE at apical level of less than 0.917 had a significantly higher rate of adverse outcomes. CONCLUSION: URE indexes were more predictive of prognostic outcomes compared with sdTTP measurements; the CURE at apical level was an independent predictor of adverse cardiac events in patients with DCM.Keywords: Heart, Outcomes Analysis, MR-ImagingClinical trial registration no.
