4、, ItalyBackground: After acute myocardial infarction (MI) the severity of diastolic dysfunction by echocar- diography represents an independent prognostic marker. However, the mechanisms whereby diastolic dysfunction por

5、tends an increased risk after MI are not fully understood. We investigated the relation- ship between echocardiographic diastolic dysfunction severity and infarct size quantitatively mea- sured by contrast-enhanced magne

6、tic resonance (ce-MR). Methods: Cross-sectional prospective study. We quantified “healed” infarct size by ce-MR measuring the percentage of delayed enhancement with respect to left ventricular mass and diastolic function

7、 by Doppler echocardiography. Both exams were scheduled at least 1 month after a first acute ST segment elevation MI (STEMI) successfully treated with primary angioplasty and stenting. To increase the specificity, indivi

8、dual echocardiographic pa- rameters were integrated to grade global diastolic function in 4 grades: normal diastolic function, impaired relaxation with normal, or near-normal filling pressures; impaired relaxation with m

9、oder- ate elevation of filling pressures, and impaired relaxation with marked elevation of filling pressures, “restrictive filling.” Results: We prospectively enrolled 52 patients (mean age 62 ± 13 years, 77% men).

10、ce-MR and echocardiography were performed 48 ± 15 days after the MI. There was a significant but modest correlation between diastolic function grade and infarct size (r = 0.423, P = 0.002), which was independent of

11、global and regional systolic function and persisted after further adjustment for age, sex, body surface area, left ventricular mass, end-diastolic volumes, and sphericity index (all P10, E/Vp > 1.5, decrease in E/A ≥

12、0.5 during Valsalva maneu- ver, “pseudonormal filling”-grade II/IV); and impaired relaxation with marked elevation of filling pressures, “restrictive filling” (Decel- eration time 1.5-grades III-IV/IV) as previously des

15、by ce-MR ImagingMRI ProtocolMRI was performed on a 1.5 T whole body scanner (Intera CV, Philips Medical Systems) equipped with Quasar gradients. Cardiac MRI was performed with the five-element cardiac synergy coil. Cardi

16、ac synchronization was ob- tained by means of vector electrocardiographicgating. The study protocol consisted of cine MRI at rest to evaluate regional and global left ven- tricular function and volumes, followed by a ce-

17、 MRI to determine the presence and the extent of infarcted tissue. Ten to twelve, depending on the heart size, cine short-axis views were im- aged from apex to base with a sensitivity en- coded balanced fast-field echo (

18、b-FFE) sequence during breathholds of approximately 15 sec- onds. The following parameters were used: echo time, 1.7 msec; repetition time, 4.0 msec; slice thickness, 8 mm with no interslice gap; field of view, 320 mm; d

19、ata matrix size, 256 × 224 mm; phase of field, 0.75; trigger delay, minimum; 85 views per segments,8–14 according to the heart rate; flip angle, 45?. At least 30 cine frames were obtained for each slice. The same ge

25、left ventricle was di- vided into 17 myocardial segments.14 To as- sess infarct size, the extent of delayed enhanced areas was measured using a semiautomatic, previously validated software.22 The analysis was done in all

26、 short-axis images and in two long-axis images for the analysis of ventricular apex. In each image, the boundaries of contrast- enhanced areas were automatically traced and, eventually, manually corrected. Segmental ex-
