    Abstract: Background: Cardiomyocyte injury is a key pathological pathway in the progression of heart failure that predicts a poor prognosis; therefore, combined assessment of myocardial fibrosis and cardiomyocyte DNA damage from endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) samples may be of great importance. Meanwhile, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) native T1 reflects a composite of both intra- and extracellular compartments in the whole myocardium. We sought to assess the performance of native T1 mapping and EMB results to predict left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) in recent-onset dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Methods: A total of 29 patients with DCM underwent cine CMR and triple-slice T1 mapping using the MOLLI sequence at 3T, and EMB before receiving guideline-directed medical therapy. Poly ADP-ribose (PAR) nuclear and sirius-red staining were used for quantification of DNA damage and collagen volume fraction (CVF), respectively. LVRR was defined as an increase in LV ejection fraction of ≥10% to the final value of 〉 35%, accompanied by a decrease in LV end-diastolic volume ≥10% at the follow-up CMR. Results: Fifteen patients (52%) achieved LVRR. The mean native T1, histological CVF, and proportion of PAR-positive nuclei were 1376 ± 55 ms, 0.13 ± 0.05, 25 ± 15%, respectively. Native T1 correlated well with CVF (p=0.004) and trended to be higher in DCM patients with increased DNA damage (p=0.17). There was no significant association between CVF and %PAR-positive nuclei. Native T1 〈 1400 ms provided 86% sensitivity and 67% specificity, with the C-statistic of 0.82 (95% CI 0.67-0.98) for predicting LVRR. By contrast, C-statistic of %PAR nuclei, CVF, and combined assessment of %PAR nuclei and CVF were 0.59, 0.61 and 0.66, respectively. Conclusion: CMR T1 mapping may be a promising strategy for noninvasive biopsy of the whole heart and provide a better prediction of LVRR in recent-onset DCM than comprehensive histological analysis of EMB.

    Abstract: Background: Japanese nationwide survey reported that Down syndrome (DS) is less-frequently occurring comorbidity in Kawasaki disease (KD). Thus, no studies have focused treatment response and risk for coronary artery abnormalities (CAAs) in KD with DS. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical manifestations, treatment response and incidence of CAAs in KD with DS. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of KD with DS from 2005 through 2012. Data were collected according to survey questionnaires from 16 hospitals. Results: The response rate was 80% and the survey questionnaires from 16 KD patients (11 boys and 5 girls) with DS were collected. Age at diagnosis was 3 years (8 months to 12 years). Eight children (50%) were diagnosed incomplete KD. Five children had previous history of repaired congenital heart disease (AVSD 2, VSD+ASD 1, ASD 2, PDA 1). Of all, 8 children were classified as high risk group based on Kobayashi score. Twelve children received IVIG and 3 children were treated with only high dose aspirin. All 15 children were responded to initial treatment. In the remaining one girl with incomplete KD, the clinical symptoms spontaneously resolved. CAAs were not detected by echocardiography during follow-up. Conclusions: All DS children with KD were responded to initial IVIG or aspirin therapy despite the high risk of IVIG resistance and none of children had CAAs. Therefore, our finding suggested DS is not a risk factor for IVIG resistance and developing CAAs in KD.
