RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) detected by cardiac MRI (CMR) has low correlation with low voltage zones (LVZs) detected by electroanatomical mapping (EAM). We aim to study correlation of myocardial strain by CMR- Feature Tracking (FT) alongside LGE with LVZs detected by EAM. METHODS: Nineteen consecutive CMRs of patients with EAM were analyzed offline by CMR-FT. Peak value of circumferential strain (CS), longitudinal strain (LS), and LGE was measured in each segment of the left ventricle (17-segment model). The percentage of myocardial segments with CS and LS > -17% was determined. Percentage area of LGE-scar was calculated. Global and segment-wise bipolar and unipolar voltage was collected. Percentage area of bipolar LVZ (<1.5 mV) and unipolar LVZ (<8.3 mV) was calculated. RESULTS: Mean age was 62±11 years. Mean LVEF was 37±13%. Mean global CS was -11.8±5%. Mean global LS was -11.2±4%. LGE-scar was noted in 74% of the patients. Mean percentage area of LGE-scar was 5%. There was significant correlation between percentage abnormality detected by LS with percentage bipolar LVZ (r = +0.5, p = 0.03) and combined percentage CS+LS abnormality with percentage unipolar LVZ (r = +0.5, p = 0.02). Per-unit increase in CS increased the percentage area of unipolar LVZ by 2.09 (p = 0.07) and per-unit increase in LS increased the percentage area of unipolar LVZ by 2.49 (p = 0.06). The concordance rates between CS and LS to localize segments with bipolar/unipolar LVZ were 79% and 95% compared to 63% with LGE. CONCLUSIONS: Myocardial strain detected by CMR-FT has a better correlation with electrical low voltage zones than the conventional LGE.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate ovarian function after total abdominal hysterectomy in premenopausal women. METHODS: In the present cross-sectional study, we enrolled 52 healthy female subjects having normal menstrual cycle as controls and 37 female patients (age <45 years) who had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) with preservation of at least one ovary for the evaluation of ovarian function. Serum antimüllerian hormone (AMH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in both groups. Transvaginal Doppler ultrasonography was done to measure ovarian stromal blood flow indices (resistive index [RI] and pulsatility index [PI]). The means obtained from different sample groups were compared using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test, and correlations between two variables were evaluated using the Spearman nonparametric correlation test. A value of P<.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: Mean postoperative duration of patients who had undergone hysterectomy was 2.5 years. Mean serum AMH level was 7.68 ± 6.70 ng/mL in the cases, significantly lower than the level in controls (10.98 ± 7.83 ng/mL) (P = .016). Serum FSH level in controls was 12.01 ± 6.27 µIU/mL, which was significantly higher in the cases (20.27 ± 12.91 µIU/mL) (P = .001). An inverse correlation between serum AMH and FSH was observed (P = .0006; r = -0.4583). However, the ovary RI and PI values in both groups were similar. CONCLUSION: TAH affects ovarian function, despite normal ovarian blood supply. ABBREVIATIONS: AMH = antimüllerian hormone FSH = follicle-stimulating hormone RI = resistive index PI = pulsatility index TAH = total abdominal hysterectomy.
