Abstract
Abstract
Background
Right ventricular (RV) function has an established incremental prognostic value in cardiomyopathy. Studies on cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) primarily focused on the left ventricle (LV), with conflicting results from small studies dedicated to RV dysfunction.
Purpose
We sought to investigate the influence of chemotherapy on RV function relative to LV function using serial cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
Methods
Patients were enrolled as part of Cardiotoxicity Prevention Research Initiative (CAPRI) Registry aimed at evaluating CMR-based markers for surveillance of CTRCD. Patients underwent non-contrast CMR imaging prior to initiation of anthracyclines and/or trastuzumab and serially every 3 months during the first year, then annually thereafter. We included patients who had a baseline and ≥1 follow-up scan and excluded those with baseline LV ejection fraction (EF)<50%, providing 320 patients completing 1,453 CMR studies. Cine images were analysed to calculate chamber volumes indexed to body surface area and EF. We defined LV CTRCD using CMR modality specific criteria of a drop in LV EF ≥5% from baseline to <57%; RV CTRCD as a drop ≥5% to <49% in females and <47% in males. We used linear mixed models to study the changes in ventricular volumes and EF with time.
Results
The majority of patients were females (80%), had breast cancer (68%) or lymphoma (32%), with a mean age of 52.7±13 years. Figure 1 shows temporal changes in mean ventricular volumes and function over the first year. Mean changes in RV function followed those of the LV, with the nadir of EF and maximum of volumes occurring at 6 months. Respective values for mean decrease in LV and RV EF at this time point versus baseline were 4.1 and 2.9% (p<0.001). Concomitant mean increase in indexed RV end-diastolic (ED) and end-systolic (ES) volumes were 1.6 and 2.7 ml/m2 (p=0.2 and <0.001). There was significant interaction of chemotherapy regimen with time for RV volumes (p=0.001 and 0.003), but not RV EF (p=0.7), with worst changes occurring with combined anthracyclines and trastuzumab. In all, 70 (22%) and 28 (9%) patients met criteria for LV and RV CTRCD, respectively. Among those who developed RV CTRCD, 10 had persistently normal LV function. Figure 2 shows the results of logistic regression to predict RV CTRCD. Significant univariable predictors included combined chemotherapy regimen and baseline LV and RV volumes and LV EF. Adjusting for age, sex, and chemotherapy regimen, baseline RV ED volume remained associated with RV CTRCD (odds ratio 1.6; p=0.005).
Conclusion
In this large study, RV volumes and function were similarly influenced by chemotherapy versus comparable LV-based measures. Using similar threshold criteria, the incidence of RV CTRCD was lower than for LV CTRCD; however, one third of those who develop RV CTRCD showed normal LV function. Future studies are warranted to study the prognostic influence of RV injury in cancer patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) imaging is a reference standard technique for the differentiation of ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) from non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). 3D myocardial deformation analysis (3D-MDA) offers highly reproducible phenotypic assessments of regional architecture and function that may provide value for artificial-intelligence-assisted cardiomyopathy diagnosis without need for LGE imaging.
Purpose
In this study, we trained and validated a machine-learning-based model to enable automated diagnosis of ischemic versus non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy exclusively using regional patterns of deformation among patients otherwise matched by age, sex and global contractile dysfunction.
Methods
100 ICM and 100 NIDCM patients matched for age, sex, and LVEF underwent standard cine SSFP and LGE imaging. Patient diagnoses were established using a combination of clinical and LGE-based criteria. 3D-MDA was performed using validated software (GIUSEPPE) to compute regional 3D strain measures at each cardiac phase in both conventional and principal strain directions. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed on the composite 3D-MDA dataset. The first 20 components were chosen, accounting for approximately 65% of the population variance. Subsequently, a support-vector-machine-based algorithm was used with 10-fold cross-validation to discriminate ICM from NIDCM.
Results
Patients were 63±10 years (ICM: 63±10 years, NIDCM: 63±10 years, p=0.955), 74% male (ICM: 74%, NIDCM: 74%, p=1.000), and had a mean LVEF of 27±8% (ICM: 27±7%, NIDCM: 28±7%, p=0.688). Global time to peak strain was significantly shorter in ICM patients relative to NIDCM patients across all surfaces and in all directions (p<0.05). The highest single-variable Area Under the Curve (AUC) achieved for the classification of ICM versus NIDCM from global data was for minimum principal strain (ICM: 43.7±7.8, NIDCM: 48.3±7.5, p<0.001, AUC: 0.682) (Figure 1). However, a multi-feature machine-learning-based model exposed to all available regional 3D deformation data achieved an AUC of 0.903 (sensitivity 87.7%, specificity 75.5%).
Conclusions
Machine learning-based analyses of3D regionaldeformation patterns allows for robust discrimination of ICM versus NIDCM. Further expansion of the presented findings is planned on a wider, multi-centre cohort.

Abstract
We determined the effect of insulin on the fate of glucose and contractile function in isolated working hypertrophied hearts from rats with an aortic constriction (n = 27) and control hearts from sham-operated rats (n = 27). Insulin increased glycolysis and glycogen in control and hypertrophied hearts. The change in glycogen was brought about by increased glycogen synthesis and decreased glycogenolysis in both groups. However, the magnitude of change in glycolysis, glycogen synthesis, and glycogenolysis caused by insulin was lower in hypertrophied hearts than in control hearts. Insulin also increased glucose oxidation and contractile function in control hearts but not in hypertrophied hearts. Protein content of glucose transporters, protein kinase B, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase was not different between the two groups. Thus hypertrophied hearts are less responsive to the metabolic and functional effects of insulin. The reduced responsiveness involves multiple aspects of glucose metabolism, including glycolysis, glucose oxidation, and glycogen metabolism. The absence of changes in content of key regulatory molecules indicates that other sites, pathways, or factors regulating glucose utilization are responsible for these findings.

Abstract
The distribution and regulation of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and its receptor (LIFR) in human lung tissue is unknown. We recently found that LIF was immunolocalized to several cell types in human airways, and that exogenous LIF modulated neural and contractile responses of explanted airways. The present study aimed to determine the cellular distribution and regulation of gene transcripts for LIF and LIFR in human lung, and measured the release of LIF in response to anti-immunoglobulin (Ig)E, interleukin (IL)-1beta, and IL-6. Exposure of human lung to IL-1beta (100 pg/ml) resulted in the rapid induction of LIF messenger RNA (mRNA) (1 h) and subsequent protein release (6 h). Similar results were observed when lung tissue was exposed to anti-IgE (6 U/ml). Gene transcripts for LIF were observed in nine pulmonary cell types, with the greatest expression occurring in fibroblasts. LIFR transcripts were also widely expressed in these cell types. In cultures of nontransformed epithelial cells, lung fibroblasts, and airway smooth-muscle cells, IL-1beta (100 pg/ml) induced the rapid accumulation of LIF mRNA and protein release, with fibroblasts liberating the greatest amount. IL-6 also induced the expression of LIF mRNA and release of LIF in airway smooth-muscle cells, whereas exogenous LIF itself had no effect. Expression of LIFR mRNA was not influenced by exposure to IL-1beta or LIF in any of the cell lines used. These results highlight the widespread distribution and rapid release of LIF in human lung tissue and, in conjunction with our previous report, suggest that this cytokine may play an important role in lung inflammatory processes and neuroimmune interactions.
