Abstract

The assumption of the presence of diffuse myocardial fibrosis in long-standing cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) inspired us to noninvasively determine the myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) using contrast CMR. T1 maps were measured pre and 10 min after the injection of 0.15 mmol/kg of gadolinium in 25 subjects. Seven patients with long-standing cyanotic CHD and no previous cardiac surgery (aged 16–53 years and oxygen saturations of 69–90%), nine normal subjects (aged 14–49 years), and nine patients with previously cyanotic CHD, who had been corrected by open heart surgery (aged 2 months–58 years, mean 9 years). Late gadolinium enhancement was performed to exclude scar areas. The T1 values were measured in the interventricular septum and in the left lateral or inferior ventricular wall, such that same areas were assessed in every patient in the pre- and post-contrast T1 scan. ECV was calculated according to ΔR1myocardium/ΔR1blood * (1 − hematocrit). Cyanotic patients had significantly lower ECV percentage than the previous cyanotic patients (septum: 22 ± 2.7% vs 35 ± 4.6%, p = 0.002; LV wall: 22 ± 2.2% vs 30 ± 3.7%, p = 0.01, respectively). No significant differences were found between cyanotic patients and normal controls (septum: 22 ± 2.7% vs 24 ± 1.4%, p = 0.44; LV wall: 22 ± 2.2% vs 24 ± 2%, p = 0.57, respectively). Long-standing cyanosis in CHD without cardiac surgery does not cause diffuse myocardial fibrosis or expansion of the myocardial ECV.
