Résumé

Purpose To determine whether left atrial (LA) strain quantification with cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging feature tracking is associated with the severity of LA fibrofatty myocardial remodeling at histologic analysis. Materials and Methods This prospective case-control study was approved by the institutional review board. LA strain was evaluated with cardiac MR feature tracking between January 2014 and March 2015 in 13 consecutive patients (mean age, 61 years ± 19; nine male) with mitral regurgitation in the 24 hours before mitral valve surgery and 13 age- and sex-matched healthy control subjects. LA strain parameters were compared first between control subjects and patients and then according to atrial fibrillation and mitral regurgitation status. Associations between LA strain and histology of preoperative biopsies were reported by using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and Spearman correlation. Results Peak longitudinal atrial strain (PLAS) was significantly lower in patients with mitral regurgitation than in healthy control subjects (P < .001). Increased LA remodeling was significantly related to altered LA strain, and the strongest association was found between PLAS and the degree of fibrofatty myocardial replacement at histologic analysis (r = -0.75, P = .017). LA end-diastolic volume was increased in patients with mitral regurgitation when compared with that in healthy volunteers (P < .001) because of volume overload; however, volume did not correlate with the histologic degree of LA fibrofatty replacement (r = -0.35, P = .330). Conclusion LA strain, especially PLAS, correlates strongly with the degree of fibrofatty replacement at histologic analysis. Such functional imaging biomarker in combination with LA volumetry could help to guide clinical decisions, since myocardial structural remodeling is a known morphologic substrate of LA dysfunction leading to atrial fibrillation with adverse outcome. © RSNA, 2017 Online supplemental material is available for this article.
