Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance(CMR)or detecting the occurrence of acute rejection(AR)after heart transplantation(HT).Methods:From 2019 to 2021, 44 HT recipients are prospectively recruited from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital.Another 51 healthy volunteers are recruited from a local community as healthy controls.CMR studies are performed for obtaining baseline parameters.According to the clinicopathological diagnostic criteria of AR by the consensus of International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation, 81 CMR studies of 44 HT recipients are further divided into two groups of AR (18 cases)and non-AR(71 cases). CMR parameters includ global ventricular structure/function, T2, T1, extracellular volume(ECV)and late gadolinium enhancement(LGE). A combined model is established by binary Logistic regression and receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC)constructed.Results:The age range is(41.8±16.8)years in 44 HT recipients and(41.8±9.7)years in 51 healthy controls.T1 mapping indicated that myocardial global ECV of left ventricle is significantly higher in AR patients than non-AR controls(32.4%±6.0% vs 28.5%±2.4%; P<0.001 9). Global native T1 is higher in AR group than that in non-AR group(49.8±3.1 vs 47.5±2.8 ms, P=0.009)and the difference is statistically significant.The cutoff value of global ECV is 30.62% with a sensitivity of 61% and a specificity of 86% for detecting AR.And T2 mapping reveale that T2 value of global left ventricle is significantly higher in AR group than that in non-AR group(49.8±3.1 vs 47.5±2.8 ms, P=0.009). LGE extent is significantly higher in AR group than those in non-AR group( P=0.004). Through including global native T1 and ECV into a logistic regression model, multiparametric CMR can yield an area under curve(AUC)of 0.794.It hints at the potential of CMR for detecting AR. Conclusions:Multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance offers an excellent predictive capacity for a noninvasive detection of AR.
