    Abstract: Hypertension (HTN) patients suffer from increased risk of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and LV hypertrophy (LVH). Evaluation of early LV diastolic function requires accurate noninvasive diagnostic tools. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature-tracking (CMR-FT) could detect early LV dysfunction and evaluate LV-left atrium (LA) correlation in HTN patients. Materials and Methods: In all, 89 HTN patients and 38 age-matched and sex-matched controls were retrospectively enrolled and underwent CMR examination. HTN patients were divided into LVH (n=38) and non-LVH (n=51) groups. All LV deformation parameters were analyzed in radial, circumferential, and longitudinal directions, including peak strain, peak systolic strain rate and peak diastolic strain rate (PDSR), LA strain and strain rate (SR), including LA reservoir function (εs, SRs), conduit function (εe, SRe), and booster pump function (εa, SRa). Results: Compared with controls, the LV PDSR in radial, circumferential, and longitudinal directions and the LA reservoir and conduit function were significantly impaired in HTN patients regardless of LVH (all P 〈 0.05). LV longitudinal and radial PDSR were correlated with LA reservoir and conduit function (all P 〈 0.01). Among all LV and LA impaired deformation parameters, the longitudinal PDSR (in LV) and εe (in LA) were the most sensitive parameter for the discrimination between non-LVH and healthy volunteers, with an area under the curve of 0.70 (specificity 79%, sensitivity 55%) and 0.76 (specificity 95%, sensitivity 49%), respectively. The area under the curve reached 0.81 (specificity 82%, sensitivity 75%) combined with the longitudinal PDSR and εe. Conclusion: CMR-FT could detect early LV diastolic dysfunction in HTN patients, which might be associated with LA reservoir and conduit dysfunction.

    Abstract: Left ventricular ( LV ) involvement is common in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy ( ARVC ). We aim to evaluate LV involvement in ARVC patients by cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking. Methods and Results Sixty‐eight patients with ARVC and 30 controls were prospectively enrolled. ARVC patients were divided into 2 subgroups: the preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF) group ( LVEF ≥55%, n=27) and the reduced LVEF group ( LVEF 〈 55%, n=41). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance with late gadolinium enhancement ( LGE ) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking were performed in all subjects. LV global and regional (basal, mid, apical) peak strain ( PS ) in radial, circumferential and longitudinal directions were assessed, respectively. Right ventricular global PS in three directions were also analyzed. Compared with the controls, LV global and regional PS were all significantly impaired in the reduced LVEF group (all P 〈 0.05). However, only LV global longitudinal PS as well as mid and apical longitudinal PS were impaired in the preserved LVEF group (all P 〈 0.05), and all these parameters were significantly associated with right ventricular global radial PS ( r =−0.47, −0.47, and −0.49, respectively, all P 〈 0.001). The reduced LVEF group showed significantly higher prevalence of LGE (95.10% versus 63.00%, P =0.002) than the preserved LVEF group. Moreover, LV radial PS was significantly reduced in LV segments with LGE (33.15±20.42%, n=46) than those without LGE (41.25±15.98%, n=386) in the preserved LVEF group ( P =0.016). Conclusions In patients with ARVC , cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking could detect early LV dysfunction, which was associated with LV myocardial LGE and right ventricular dysfunction.

    Abstract: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a hereditary heart disease characterized by fatty infiltration, life-threatening arrhythmias, and increased risk of sudden cardiac death. The guideline for management of ARVC in patients is to improve quality of life by reducing arrhythmic symptoms and to prevent sudden cardiac death. However, the mechanism underlying ARVC-associated cardiac arrhythmias remains poorly understood. Methods: Using protein mass spectrometry analyses, we identified that integrin β1 is downregulated in ARVC hearts without changes to Ca 2+ -handling proteins. As adult cardiomyocytes express only the β1D isoform, we generated a cardiac specific β1D knockout mouse model and performed functional imaging and biochemical analyses to determine the consequences of integrin β1D loss on function in the heart in vivo and in vitro. Results: Integrin β1D deficiency and RyR2 Ser-2030 hyperphosphorylation were detected by Western blotting in left ventricular tissues from patients with ARVC but not in patients with ischemic or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Using lipid bilayer patch clamp single channel recordings, we found that purified integrin β1D protein could stabilize RyR2 function by decreasing RyR2 open probability, mean open time, and increasing mean close time. Also, β1D knockout mice exhibited normal cardiac function and morphology but presented with catecholamine-sensitive polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, consistent with increased RyR2 Ser-2030 phosphorylation and aberrant Ca 2+ handling in β1D knockout cardiomyocytes. Mechanistically, we revealed that loss of DSP (desmoplakin) induces integrin β1D deficiency in ARVC mediated through an ERK1/2 (extracellular signal–regulated kinase 1 and 2)–fibronectin–ubiquitin/lysosome pathway. Conclusions: Our data suggest that integrin β1D deficiency represents a novel mechanism underlying the increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with ARVC.

    Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent condition that can cause or exacerbate heart failure, is an important risk factor for stroke, and is associated with pronounced morbidity and death. Genes uniquely expressed in the atria are known to be essential for maintaining atrial structure and function. Atrial tissue remodeling contributes to arrhythmia recurrence and maintenance. However, the mechanism underlying atrial remodeling remains poorly understood. This study was designed to investigate whether other uncharacterized atrial specific genes play important roles in atrial physiology and arrhythmogenesis. Methods: RNA-sequencing analysis was used to identify atrial myocyte specific and angiotensin II–responsive genes. Genetically modified, cardiomyocyte-specific mouse models (knockout and overexpression) were generated. In vivo and in vitro electrophysiological, histology, and biochemical analyses were performed to determine the consequences of CIB2 (calcium and integrin binding family member 2 protein) gain and loss of function in the atrium. Results: Using RNA-sequencing analysis, we identified CIB2 as an atrial-enriched protein that is significantly downregulated in the left atria of patients with AF and mouse models of AF from angiotensin II infusion or pressure overload. Using cardiomyocyte-specific C ib2 knockout ( Cib2 -/ - ) and atrial myocyte–specific Cib2 -overexpressing mouse models, we found that loss of C ib2 enhances AF occurrence, prolongs AF duration, and correlates with a significant increase in atrial fibrosis under stress. Conversely, Cib2 overexpression mitigates AF occurrence and atrial fibrosis triggered by angiotensin II stress. Mechanistically, we revealed that CIB2 competes with and inhibits CIB1-mediated calcineurin activation, thereby negating stress-induced structural remodeling and AF. Conclusions: Our data suggest that CIB2 represents a novel endogenous and atrial-enriched regulator that protects against atrial remodeling and AF under stress conditions. Therefore, CIB2 may represent a new potential target for treating AF.

    Abstract: Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is used for treatment of medically refractory hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy patients with severe left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. The current recommendations restrict the procedure to adults with favorable anatomy and no other coexisting surgically amenable disease. Some patients remain symptomatic with residual LVOT obstruction, thus better patient selection is required. Methods and Results— One-hundred and two consecutive subjects with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, transthoracic echocardiography, and ASA were enrolled in this study. Successful ASA was defined as reduction of LVOT gradient ≥50% of baseline by echocardiographic follow-up 6 months post ASA. The relationships between segmental thickness assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography and outcomes of ASA were compared between the 2 groups. The survival rate after ablation was 100% at 6-month follow-up. The LVOT gradient decreased ≥50% of baseline in 72% (73/102) patients. There were good correlations between the reduction of postoperative LVOT gradient and the thickness of basal anterior segment ( r =0.371; P 〈 0.001), basal anteroseptal segment ( r =0.527; P 〈 0.001), and total thickness of the above 2 segments ( r =0.672; P 〈 0.001). The area under the receiver operating curves were 0.68, 0.79 and 0.89 for predictive analysis (all P 〈 0.001). The cutoff thickness of the segment 1+2 was 50.9 mm, which yielded a sensitivity of 86% and specificity of 77%. Conclusions— Both echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging can be used effectively as noninvasive tools for patient selection for ASA procedure. A significantly thickened septum among hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy patients may be associated with a poor outcome after ASA.
