PG - 889-98 LID - S1936-878X(13)00454-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jcmg.2013.04.010 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the prevalence of fat deposition in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) by fat-water separation imaging. An auxiliary aim was to determine the relationship between left ventricular (LV) fat deposition and characteristic myocardial fibrosis, as well as cardiac functional parameters. BACKGROUND: Idiopathic DCM remains the most common cause of heart failure in young people referred for cardiac transplantation; little is known about the clinical value of fat deposition in DCM. METHODS: A total of 124 patients with DCM were studied after written informed consent was obtained. The magnetic resonance imaging scan protocols included a series of short-axis LV cine imaging for functional analysis, fat-water separation imaging, and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. Fat deposition and fibrosis location were compared to the scar regions on LGE images using a 17-segment model. Statistical comparisons of LV global functional parameters, fibrosis volumes, and fat deposition were carried out using the Pearson correlation, Student t test, and multiple regressions. RESULTS: The patients had a 41.9% (52 of 124) prevalence of positive LGE, and 12.9% (16 of 124) fat deposition prevalence was found in this DCM cohort. The patients with fat deposition had larger LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) index (140.8 +/- 20.2 ml/m(2) vs. 123.4 +/- 15.8 ml/m(2); p < 0.01), larger LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) index (111.3 +/- 19.2 ml/m(2) vs. 87.0 +/- 20.3 ml/m(2); p < 0.01), and decreased LV ejection fraction (LVEF) (21.1 +/- 7.1% vs. 30.0 +/- 10.7%; p < 0.01). Higher volumes of LGE were found in the group with myocardial fat deposition (18.39 +/- 9.0 ml vs. 13.40 +/- 6.54 ml; p = 0.001), as well as a higher percentage of LGE/LV mass (19.11 +/- 7.78% vs. 13.60 +/- 4.58%; p = 0.000). The volume of fat deposition was correlated with scar volume, LVEF, LVEDV index, and LVESV index. CONCLUSIONS: Fat deposition is a common phenomenon in DCM, and it is associated with DCM characteristics such as fibrosis volume and LV function.
