Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) derived left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) for evaluating dilated cardiomyopathy patients has been addressed in studies with contradictory results. We therefore performed the first systematic review evaluating evidence on the prognostic value of CMR derived LV-GLS for ischaemic (IDCM) and non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NDCM) patients. Systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42020171582) identified studies up to January 2021 that measured LV-GLS for predicting major adverse cardiac events among dilated cardiomyopathy patients. Studies were identified from MEDLINE, Embase and PubMed by two independent reviewers. 2099 studies were screened. Three prospective and three retrospective observational studies comprising of 1758 patients (29% IDCM patients; 71% NDCM patients) with a weighted mean follow up of 3 years (SD = 1 year) were identified. All six studies included mortality in the primary composite outcome. LV-GLS was associated with increase primary composite outcome among mild to moderately impaired left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) IDCM and NDCM patients (> 30%) in univariable and multivariable analysis. Association was lost among severely impaired LVEF patients (< 30%). From sensitivity analysis, LV-GLS showed significant association with death among NDCM patients (HR 1.27; 95% CI 1.10-1.46; p = 0.001; I = 59%) but insignificant for heart transplant outcome (HR 1.23; 95% CI 0.46-3.33; p = 0.68, I = 44%). LV-GLS threshold for effectively stratifying patients is - 12.5% to - 13.5%. LVEF in IDCM and NDCM became an insignificant prognostic marker in multivariable analysis. CMR LV-GLS shows promise as an independent predictor of mortality in IDCM and NDCM patients. However, in patients with LVEF < 30% LV-GLS may have less prognostic value.Prospero Registration: CRD42020171582.

Addressing Functional Mitral Regurgitation in Dilated Cardiomyopathy: A Focus on Myocardial Segment Resynchronization Through Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) by coordinating heart muscle segments, especially between papillary muscles, beyond just boosting left ventricular (LV) performance.
- Eighteen patients with dilated cardiomyopathy underwent tests to measure heart function, and biventricular pacing showed a significant reduction in mitral regurgitation despite some patients showing no change in LV pressure.
- The study concludes that CRT effectively lowers FMR independently of LV systolic function improvements, highlighting the importance of understanding its mechanisms for better treatment outcomes.

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a form of non-ischaemic myocardial disease, is characterised by structural and functional cardiac abnormalities. As defined by the World Health Organisation, DCM constitutes a significant cardiac pathology, leading to increased morbidity and mortality due to complications such as heart failure and arrhythmias. The diagnostic process for DCM predominantly employs echocardiography and MRI, with biomarkers like NT-pro BNP and troponin providing supportive, yet non-specific, evidence.

The article "The Influence of Arrhythmia on the Outcomes of Pediatric Patients with Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy" by Mohammad Dalili et al. provides valuable insights into the impact of arrhythmia on idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy outcomes. However, it presents with certain limitations.

It is unclear whether the SRX state exchanges readily with the disordered-relaxed (DRX) state, and whether the SRX state directly corresponds to the folded back interacting-head motif (IHM). Using recombinant β-cardiac heavy meromyosin (HMM) and subfragment 1 (S1), which cannot form the IHM, we show that the SRX and DRX populations are in rapid equilibrium, dependent on myosin head-tail interactions.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIn cardiac muscle, many myosin molecules are in a resting or "OFF" state with their catalytic heads in a folded structure known as the interacting heads motif (IHM). Many mutations in the human β-cardiac myosin gene that cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are thought to destabilize (decrease the population of) the IHM state. The effects of pathogenic mutations on the IHM structural state are often studied using indirect assays, including a single-ATP turnover assay that detects the super-relaxed (SRX) biochemical state of myosin functionally.
