Article Synopsis
- This study investigated whether 4D cardiac computed tomography (4DCCT) could enhance risk assessment and predict reverse remodeling (RRM) and mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
- A total of 608 patients, mostly elderly, were analyzed before and after TAVI to measure left and right heart dimensions, mass, ejection fraction, and strain to assess outcomes.
- Results indicated that while immediate post-TAVI measurements didn’t predict RRM, certain 4DCCT-derived metrics, like LV mass and ejection fraction at 12 months, were significant predictors of both RRM and survival.
Background Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) often coexists with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Although strain analysis from cardiac MRI and echocardiography was demonstrated to predict coexisting ATTR-CM, comparable data from four-dimensional (4D) cardiac CT are lacking despite wide availability. Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of 4D cardiac CT-derived parameters in identifying ATTR-CM in older adults considered for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
