Abstract

Martin Christ, Wolfgang Dierschke, Katharina Isabel von Auenmueller, Marc van Bracht, Martin Grett, Hans-Joachim Trappe Department of Cardiology and Angiology, Marienhospital Herne, Ruhr – University Bochum, Herne, Germany Objectives: Little is known about the factors that influence survival following in-hospital resuscitation, but previous investigations have suggested that in-hospital resuscitations outside of regular working hours are associated with worse survival rates. Material and methods: In-hospital cardiac arrest teams at our hospital were instructed to complete a questionnaire following every emergency call between July 2011 and June 2013. Data on all resuscitation attempts were collected and analyzed. Results: A total of 65 in-hospital resuscitations were recorded in 42 males (64.6%) and 23 females (35.4%) (mean age 72.0±14.3 years). A total of 54 (83.1%) cardiac arrests were witnessed; seven (10.8%) showed a shockable rhythm at the time of the first ECG. Resuscitation attempts lasted 29.3±41.3 minutes, and 4.1±3.1 mg epinephrine was given. Return of spontaneous circulation could be achieved in 38 patients (58.5%); 29 (44.6%) survived the first day, 23 (35.4%) the seventh day, and 15 patients (23.1%) were discharged alive. Significantly more in-hospital resuscitations were obtained for those performed during non-regular working hours (P

Abstract

(1) Diadenosine polyphosphates have been described to be present in the myocardium and exert purinergic- and nonreceptor-mediated effects. Since the electrophysiological properties of atrial myocardium are effectively regulated by A(1) receptors, we investigated the effect of diadenosine pentaphosphate (Ap(5)A) in rabbit myocardium. (2) Parameters of supraventricular electrophysiology and atrial vulnerability were measured in Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts. Muscarinic potassium current (I(K(ACh/Ado))) and ATP-sensitive potassium current (I(K(ATP))) were measured by using the whole-cell voltage clamp method. (3) Ap(5)A prolonged the cycle length of spontaneously beating Langendorff perfused hearts from 225+/-14 (control) to 1823+/-400 ms (Ap(5)A 50 micro M; n=6; P0.05). This effect was paralleled by higher degree of atrio-ventricular block. Atrial effective refractory period (AERP) in control hearts was 84+/-14 ms (n=6). Ap(5)A/=1 micro M reduced AERP (100 micro M, 58+/-11 ms; n=6). (4) Extrastimuli delivered to hearts perfused with Ap(5)A- or adenosine (/= micro M)-induced atrial fibrillation, the incidence of which correlated to the concentration added to the perfusate. The selective A(1)-receptor antagonist CPX (20 micro M) inhibited the Ap(5)A- and adenosine-induced decrease of AERP. Atrial fibrillation was no longer observed in the presence of CPX. (5) The described Ap(5)A-induced effects in the multicellular preparation were enhanced by dipyridamole (10 micro M), which is a cellular adenosine uptake inhibitor. Dipyridamole-induced enhancement was inhibited by CPX. (6) Ap(5)A (/=1 mM) did neither induce I(K(Ado)) nor I(K(ATP)). No effect on activated I(K(Ado/ATP)) was observed in myocytes superfused with Ap(5)A. However, effluents from Langendorff hearts perfused with Ap(5)A 100 micro M activated I(K(Ado)) by using A(1) receptors. (7) Ap(5)A did not activate A(1) receptors in rabbit atrial myocytes. The Ap(5)A induced A(1)-receptor-mediated effects on supraventricular electrophysiology and vulnerability suggest that in the multicellular preparation Ap(5)A is hydrolyzed to yield adenosine, which acts via A(1) receptors. An influence on atrial electrophysiology or a facilitation of atrial fibrillation under conditions resulting in increased interstitial Ap(5)A concentrations might be of physiological/pathophysiological relevance.

Abstract

Objective: As opposed to fundamental investigations into the nature of atrial fibrillation (AF) current clinical studies of AF ablation techniques sometimes only contain sparse information about the underlying electrophysiological properties. The purpose of this prospective, pilot study was to evaluate acute therapeutic success and clinical outcome after 6 month of segmental ostial ablation (SOA) using the High Density Mesh Mapper catheter (HDMM, BARD Electrophysiology, Lowell, MA, USA) for an electrophysiological guided approach. The HDMM is a novel, single expandable basket electrode catheter for high resolution recordings at the left atrium/pulmonary vein (PV) junction.Methods: SOA was performed by irrigated radiofrequency (RF) application around the HDMM. Entry- and exit conduction block, as well as decreased local electrode amplitude, were endpoints for short-term successful ablation.Results: Seventy-two patients with highly symptomatic paroxysmal AF (PAF; 47, 65.2%), persistent AF (12, 16.7%) and permanent AF (13, 18.1%) were studied. Entrance conduction block was obtained in 93%, exit conduction block in 81% of all PV. After 6 month no PV stenosis was observed, 62 patients (86.1%) improved clinically, whereas 52 patients (72.2%) were free from arrhythmias and sinus rhythm was present favoring patients with PAF.Conclusions: In this first prospective study of PV isolation using the HDMM, our findings suggest, that this method is safe and yields good primary success rates and favourable clinical outcome at 6 month. The new technology based on high resolution recordings, offers beside good anatomical orientation a direct electrophysiological control for monitoring of bidirectional conduction block.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Until recently, gadolinium (Gd)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has increasingly replaced iodinated contrast agent examinations in dialysis patients, although only limited data existed about the clinical safety of Gd contrast agents in these patients. Specific clinical adverse events (AEs), including nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, were linked to Gd exposure in dialysis patients. An inflammatory reaction or transmetallation may be involved. STUDY DESIGN: Secondary analysis of a 5-day observational study in a parent cardiovascular study with repetitive cardiac MRI (32 patients) and patients undergoing Gd-enhanced MRI for clinical indications (6 patients). Clinical information and samples were obtained according to parent protocol. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS: Dialysis patients at a university-based dialysis unit. PREDICTOR: Gd-chelate complex. 37 of 38 patients underwent 64 MRI studies with Gd-diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (Gd-DTPA). 25 of these patients underwent additional MRI studies with gadobutrol (n = 10), 0.9% saline (n = 7), or both (n = 8), and 1 patient received gadobutrol only. OUTCOMES: Clinical adverse events; C-reactive protein (CRP) levels on days 1, 3, and 5 after MRI; Gd levels in blood and urine after MRI. RESULTS: CRP levels increased 10-fold on day 3 after MRI in 87% of MRI studies with Gd-DTPA (+59.3 +/- 57.9 mg/L [P < 0.001] versus -0.9 +/- 3.7 mg/L with gadobutrol versus -0.9 +/- 8.5 mg/L with 0.9% saline). 77 mild to moderate and 3 serious AEs were observed in 24 patients. CRP levels and adverse events did not correlate with Gd blood concentrations. CRP level increase or AEs were not observed after MRI with gadobutrol or 0.9% saline. LIMITATIONS: Observational study without randomization, risk of bias because of multiple MRI studies in a limited patient cohort. CONCLUSION: Gd-DTPA, but not gadobutrol, induces an acute-phase reaction and clinical AEs in dialysis patients. Additional investigations have to analyze the underlying pathomechanism.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this first in vivo study was to assess the incidence of thermal influence to the right coronary artery (RCA) during ablation of common type atrial flutter (Aflu) by measuring the fractional flow reserve (FFR) in the vessel before, under and after ablation.Methods: In thirty three patients ablated we performed coronary angiography (CA) before and at the end of the procedure. The FFR wire was positioned in the distal, the isthmus underlying, part of the RCA. Before and after the procedure FFR measurement was done at baseline and during adenosine administration. During the whole ablation procedure FFR measurement was continuously carried on, to monitor a transient thermal impact to the RCA.Results: Of the 33 patients observed, 25 males, 8 females, mean age 58 +/- 9.5 years, none with CAD, all patients, except one with unidirectional block, were successfully ablated. The FFR at rest and under medication with adenosine before and after ablation was 0.985/0.949 and 0.981/0.942, respectively (p = ns). The CA of the RCA did not reveal any morphological change. The mean FFR while ablation declined from 0.94 to 0.904 (p = ns). Twenty-six patients (78.8%) had no or moderate decrease in FFR, seven patients (21.2%) demonstrated a substantial decrease [five patients (15.2%), FFR < 0.9 and >0.75] or significant change [two patients (6.1%)], FFR < 0.75 consistent with a remarkable or significant reduction of coronary flow.Conclusion: Ablation of AFlu did not alter RCA morphology; simultaneous FFR measurement showed severe depression of the FFR in a few patients, consistent with impairment in myocardial perfusion.

Abstract

Purpose: 3D echocardiography (3DE) enables fast 3D acquisition but subsequent manual navigation to find 2D diagnostic planes can be time consuming. We have developed and validated an automated machine learning-based technique to find apical 2-, 3- and 4-chamber (A2C, A3C, A4C) views that enables fast volume navigation and analysis. Methods: 3DE volumes were acquired (Philips iE33: X3-1 and X5-1 probes) from 30 healthy volunteers and 36 clinical patients with suspected valve disease and coronary heart disease. 66 end diastolic volumes were used to assess the accuracy of apical standard view finding by our method against manual plane finding. To do this, dedicated software was developed with a machine learning approach and a 3-fold cross validation of results was performed. Results: Automatic A4C view detection was possible in 60/66 (91%) of volumes; detection failures were due to suboptimal myocardium wall integrity or lack of right ventricle in the scan. A2C and A3C views were extracted from the A4C view using the known geometrical relationships between apical standard views (A2C to A3C: 30°~40° and A2C to A4C: 90° of rotation over the left ventricle long axis, as shown in the Figure). In average, our method accurately found the heart apex and mitral valve centre with a 7.1 ± 5.7 mm and 7.2 ± 5.3 mm error, respectively. Conclusions: In order to automate clinical workflow, we have developed a new and fully automatic machine learning strategy for apical standard view finding which performed well (91% detection accuracy) on volunteer and clinical 3D echocardiograms.

Abstract

Purpose: Cardiac deconditioning due to immobilization is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The physiology of cardiac adaptation to deconditioning has not been fully elucidated. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effects of 21-days of strict head-down (-6 degrees) bed-rest (BR) deconditioning on left ventricular (LV) dimensions and mass measured by MRI. Methods: Ten healthy men (mean age 32±6) were enrolled; the experiment was conducted at DLR (Koln, Germany) as part of the European Space Agency BR studies. Steady-state free precession MRI images (7mm thickness, no gap, no overlap) were obtained (Symphony 1.5T, Siemens) in a stack of short-axis views from LV base to LV apex, before (PRE), at the end of BR (HDT20), and four days after the BR conclusion (POST). Endocardial and epicardial semi-automated contouring was performed using freely available software (Segment). Results: At HDT20, significant reductions in LV mass (16%), end-diastolic (26%) and end-systolic (27%) volumes and stroke volume (27%) were observed, while ejection fraction did not change. These changes were accompanied by a measured decrease (14%) in plasma and blood volume (by gas-rebreathing technique), as well as by a significant reduction (14%) in VO2max aerobic power, measured using a graded cycle ergometer test protocol to volitional fatigue, at one day after the BR conclusion, while expiratory exchange ratio did not change. At POST, LV volumes were restored, while LV mass was still trending towards control values. Conclusions: Cardiac adaptation to deconditioning affected LV mass and dimensions, as a combined result of LV remodeling and fluids loss, accompanied by worsening in aerobic power. This should be taken into account in patients with cardiovascular diseases, when immobilized in bed, to proper adjust the therapy, or to define appropriate physical exercises when possible, in order to avoid further complications.   Cardiac MRI parameters PREHDT20POSTLV mass (g)121±6102±11*114±16End-diastolic volume (ml)119±2590±14*118±25End-systolic volume (ml)42±831±8*45±14Stroke volume (ml)76±2259±11*73±15Ejection fraction (%)64±665±762±7 *: p<.01 vs PRE (one-way Anova for paired data and Tukey test)

Abstract

Purpose: Transthoracic 3D echocardiography (3DE) allows an unparalleled opportunity for quantifying the dynamic changes of the tricuspid annulus (TA). Accordingly, our aims were: (I) to assess the determinants of TA size during cardiac cycle in healthy subjects; (II) to propose an approach and timing for TA sizing using 3DE. Methods: In 50 healthy volunteers (45±14 yrs, range 18-74, 27 males, with no risk factors, symptoms, signs or history of cardiovascular disease and on no medication), a full-volume dataset of the right ventricle (RV) containing the tricuspid valve (TV) was acquired (Vivid E9, GE Healthcare). TA diameters (septo-lateral, SL; antero-posterior, AP) and areas were measured on multiplanar images (Flexi-slice, EchoPac BT12, GE Healthcare) at 5 time points during the cardiac cycle: OS (onset of systole, at TV closure); MS (mid-systole); ES (end-systole); ED (onset of diastole); LD (late diastole, after the P wave). RV volumes and ejection fraction (EF) were analyzed with commercial software (4D RV analysis, TomTec, D). Results: Temporal resolution of the 3D datasets was 32±4 vps (range 24-53). TA areas were more closely correlated with RV volumes and body surface area (BSA) than with either SL or AP diameters. TA areas increased during systole from OS (3.9±0.6 cm2/m2) to ES (4.9±0.8 cm2/m2) and reached its largest area in LD (6.7±1.0 cm2/m2). All 5 TA areas were correlated with BSA (r range 0.57-0.62) and RV volumes (r ranges 0.53-0.60 for end-diastolic volume and 0.43-0.50 for end-systolic volume, p<0.0001 for all). Indexed TA areas were not related to either age or gender. With multivariable analysis, both RV end-diastolic volume and BSA determined TA areas during systole and early diastole, while TA area at LD and at OS were independently related with BSA only. Conclusions: In healthy subjects, the main determinants of TA size are RV volume and BSA. The largest TA area occurs at LD and is independently related with BSA only. Therefore, normative values should be based on TA areas measured at LD and indexed for BSA. However, the rapid change in TA areas occurring from LD to OS underscores the importance of adequate temporal resolution of 3DE data sets for reliable TA measurements.

50. A Retrograde Transaortic/Transmitral Approach for Radiofrequency Ablation of Adenosine-Sensitive Atrial Tachycardia Arising Near the Apex of Koch's Triangle: A Case Study Approach and Review of the Literature.

Abstract

Atrial tachycardias (ATs) are relatively uncommon and their mechanisms include reentry or may be focal. The characteristics and radiofrequency (RF) ablation of adenosine-sensitive AT arising near the apex of Koch's triangle have been reported. We report a case of successful RF ablation of this tachycardia by using a retrograde transaortic/transmitral approach. An electrophysiological study performed during sinus rhythm showed continuous anterograde atrioventricular nodal and no ventriculoatrial conduction. The tachycardia could be induced and terminated by atrial extrastimulation and rapid atrial pacing. Although inverse resetting response pattern was observed, tachycardia termination by intravenous low-dose adenosine was rather suggestive of triggered activity as the mechanism. The earliest atrial activation was recorded in the His-bundle region. After ineffective right-sided attempts and failure to find earlier atrial activity during mapping the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva, this tachycardia was successfully ablated from the left atrial septum by using a retrograde transaortic/transmitral approach. This report demonstrates the feasibility of a novel retrograde left atrial approach for RF ablation of adenosine-sensitive AT originating from the apex of Koch's triangle., Competing Interests: The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest or financial relationship regarding the publication of this paper.
