BACKGROUND: Extent of myocardial fibrosis (MF) determined using late gadolinium
enhanced (LGE) predicts outcomes, but gadolinium is contraindicated in advanced
renal disease. We assessed the ability of native T1-mapping to identify and
quantify MF in aortic stenosis patients (AS) as a model for use in haemodialysis
patients. METHODS: We compared the ability to identify areas of replacement-MF
using native T1-mapping to LGE in 25 AS patients at 3 T. We assessed agreement
between extent of MF defined by LGE full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) and the LGE
3-standard-deviations (3SD) in AS patients and nine T1 thresholding-techniques,
with thresholds set 2-to-9 standard-deviations above normal-range (1083?±?33 ms).
A further technique was tested that set an individual T1-threshold for each
patient (T11SD). The technique that agreed most strongly with FWHM or 3SD in AS
patients was used to compare extent of MF between AS (n?=?25) and haemodialysis
patients (n?=?25). RESULTS: Twenty-six areas of enhancement were identified on
LGE images, with 25 corresponding areas of discretely increased native T1 signal
identified on T1 maps. Global T1 was higher in haemodialysis than AS patients
(1279 ms?±?5.8 vs 1143 ms?±?12.49, P?0.01). No signal-threshold technique
derived from standard-deviations above normal-range associated with FWHM or 3SD.
T11SD correlated with FWHM in AS patients (r?=?0.55) with moderate agreement
(ICC?=?0.64), (but not with 3SD). Extent of MF defined by T11SD was higher in
haemodialysis vs AS patients (21.92%?±?1 vs 18.24%?±?1.4, P?=?0.038), as was T1
in regions-of-interest defined as scar (1390?±?8.7 vs 1276 ms?±?20.5, P?0.01).
There was no difference in the relative difference between remote myocardium and
regions defined as scar, between groups (111.4 ms?±?7.6 vs 133.2 ms?±?17.5,
P?=?0.26). CONCLUSIONS: Areas of MF are identifiable on native T1 maps, but
absolute thresholds to define extent of MF could not be determined. Histological
studies are needed to assess the ability of native-T1 signal-thresholding
techniques to define extent of MF in haemodialysis patients. Data is taken from
the PRIMID-AS (NCT01658345) and CYCLE-HD studies (ISRCTN11299707).
