Pressure–volume relationship by pharmacological stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance

2021

Abstract Background. The variation between rest and peak stress end-systolic pressure-volume relation (ΔESPVR) is an index of myocardial contractility, easily obtained during routine stress echocardiography and never tested during dipyridamole stress-cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). We assessed the ΔESPVR index in patients with known/suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent dipyridamole stress-CMR.Methods. One-hundred consecutive patients (24 females, 63.76±10.17 years) were considered. ESPVR index was evaluated at rest and stress from raw measurement of systolic arterial pressure and end-systolic volume by biplane Simpson’s method. Results. The ΔESPVR index showed a good inte…

1177 The additive prognostic value of end-systolic pressure-volume relation by CMR in patients with with known or suspected coronary artery disease

2020

Abstract Background The variation between rest and peak stress end-systolic pressure-volume relation is an afterload-independent index of left ventricular contractility. This index is easily obtained during routine stress echocardiography but can be derived also during a stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) exam, that is the gold standard for the quantification of biventricular volumes. Purpose The aim of this study was to assess for the first time the prognostic value ofdelta rest-stress ESPVR (DESPVR) by dipyridamole stress-CMR in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods One hundred and sixty-six consecutive patients (37 females, main age 61.96 ± 1…

P5285Pressure-volume relationship by cardiovascular magnetic resonance: feasibility and clinical implications

2019

Abstract Background The variation between rest and peak stress end-systolic pressure-volume relation (ESPVR; the Suga index) is easily obtained during routine stress echocardiography and has been established as a reasonably load-independent index of myocardial contractile performance that provides prognostic information above and beyond regional wall motion. Purpose This is the first study assessing the delta rest-stress ESPVR (DESPVR) by stress Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR). Methods Eighty-five consecutive patients (19 females, main age 62.99±9.26 years) who underwent dipyridamole stress-CMR in a high volume CMR Laboratory were considered. The ESPVR was evaluated at rest and peak…
