Article: Minimizing risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis is a rare condition appearing only in patients with severe renal impairment or failure and presents with dermal lesions and involvement of internal organs. Although many cases are mild, an estimated 5% have a progressive debilitating course. To date, there is no known effective treatment thus stressing the necessity of ample prevention measures. An association with the use of Gadolinium based contrast agents (GBCA) makes Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis a potential side effect of contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and offers the opportunity for prevention by limiting use of gadolinium based contrast agents in renal failure patients. In itself toxic, Gadolinium is embedded into chelates that allow its safe use as a contrast agent. One NSF theory is that Gadolinium chelates distribute into the extracellular fluid compartment and set Gadolinium ions free, depending on multiple factors among which the duration of chelates exposure is directly related to the renal function. Major medical societies both in Europe and in North America have developed guidelines for the usage of GBCA. Since the establishment of these guidelines and the increased general awareness of this condition, the occurrence of NSF has been nearly eliminated. Giving an overview over the current knowledge of NSF pathobiochemistry, pathogenesis and treatment options this review focuses on the guidelines of the European Medicines Agency, the European Society of Urogenital Radiology, the FDA and the American College of Radiology from 2008 up to 2011 and the transfer of this knowledge into every day practice.Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 05/2012; 14:31. · 3.72 Impact Factor -
Article: Reducing RF-related heating of cardiac pacemaker leads in MRI: Implementation and experimental verification of practical design changes.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There are serious concerns regarding safety when performing magnetic resonance imaging in patients with implanted conductive medical devices, such as cardiac pacemakers, and associated leads, as severe incidents have occurred in the past. In this study, several approaches for altering an implant's lead design were systematically developed and evaluated to enhance the safety of implanted medical devices in a magnetic resonance imaging environment. The individual impact of each design change on radiofrequency heating was then systematically investigated in functional lead prototypes at 1.5 T. Radiofrequency-induced heating could be successfully reduced by three basic changes in conventional pacemaker lead design: (1) increasing the lead tip area, (2) increasing the lead conductor resistance, and (3) increasing outer lead insulation conductivity. The findings show that radiofrequency energy pickup in magnetic resonance imaging can be reduced and, therefore, patient safety can be improved with dedicated construction changes according to a "safe by design" strategy. Incorporation of the described alterations into implantable medical devices such as pacemaker leads can be used to help achieve favorable risk-benefit-ratios when performing magnetic resonance imaging in the respective patient group.

Article: Direct cooling of the catheter tip increases safety for CMR-guided electrophysiological procedures.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: One of the safety concerns when performing electrophysiological (EP) procedures under magnetic resonance (MR) guidance is the risk of passive tissue heating due to the EP catheter being exposed to the radiofrequency (RF) field of the RF transmitting body coil. Ablation procedures that use catheters with irrigated tips are well established therapeutic options for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and when used in a modified mode might offer an additional system for suppressing passive catheter heating. A two-step approach was chosen. Firstly, tests on passive catheter heating were performed in a 1.5 T Avanto system (Siemens Healthcare Sector, Erlangen, Germany) using a ASTM Phantom in order to determine a possible maximum temperature rise. Secondly, a phantom was designed for simulation of the interface between blood and the vascular wall. The MR-RF induced temperature rise was simulated by catheter tip heating via a standard ablation generator. Power levels from 1 to 6 W were selected. Ablation duration was 120 s with no tip irrigation during the first 60 s and irrigation at rates from 2 ml/min to 35 ml/min for the remaining 60 s (Biotronik Qiona Pump, Berlin, Germany). The temperature was measured with fluoroscopic sensors (Luxtron, Santa Barbara, CA, USA) at a distance of 0 mm, 2 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm from the catheter tip. A maximum temperature rise of 22.4°C at the catheter tip was documented in the MR scanner. This temperature rise is equivalent to the heating effect of an ablator's power output of 6 W at a contact force of the weight of 90 g (0.883 N). The catheter tip irrigation was able to limit the temperature rise to less than 2°C for the majority of examined power levels, and for all examined power levels the residual temperature rise was less than 8°C. Up to a maximum of 22.4°C, the temperature rise at the tissue surface can be entirely suppressed by using the catheter's own irrigation system. The irrigated tip system can be used to increase MR safety of EP catheters by suppressing the effects of unwanted passive catheter heating due to RF exposure from the MR scanner.Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 01/2012; 14:12. · 3.72 Impact Factor -
Article: Feasibility of contrast-enhanced and nonenhanced MRI for intraprocedural and postprocedural lesion visualization in interventional electrophysiology: animal studies and early delineation of isthmus ablation lesions in patients with typical atrial flutter.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Imaging of myocardial ablation lesions during electrophysiology procedures would enable superior guidance of interventions and immediate identification of potential complications. The aim of this study was to establish clinically suitable MRI-based imaging techniques for intraprocedural lesion visualization in interventional electrophysiology. Interventional electrophysiology was performed under magnetic resonance guidance in an animal model, using a custom setup including magnetic resonance-conditional catheters. Various pulse sequences were explored for intraprocedural lesion visualization after radiofrequency ablation. The developed visualization techniques were then used to investigate lesion formation in patients immediately after ablation of atrial flutter. The animal studies in 9 minipigs showed that gadolinium-DTPA-enhanced T1-weighted and nonenhanced T2-weighted pulse sequences are particularly suitable for lesion visualization immediately after radiofrequency ablation. MRI-derived lesion size correlated well with autopsy (R(2)=0.799/0.709 for contrast-enhanced/nonenhanced imaging). Non-contrast agent-enhanced techniques were suitable for repetitive lesion visualization during electrophysiological interventions, thus allowing for intraprocedural monitoring of ablation success. The patient studies in 24 patients with typical atrial flutter several minutes to hours after cavotricuspid isthmus ablation confirmed the results from the animal experiments. Therapeutic lesions could be visualized in all patients using contrast-enhanced and also nonenhanced MRI with high contrast-to-noise ratio (94.6±35.2/111.1±32.6 versus 48.0±29.0/68.0±37.3 for ventricular/atrial lesions and contrast-enhanced versus nonenhanced imaging). MRI allows for precise lesion visualization in electrophysiological interventions just minutes after radiofrequency ablation. Nonenhanced T2-weighted MRI is particularly feasible for intraprocedural delineation of lesion formation as lesions are detectable within minutes after radiofrequency delivery and imaging can be repeated during interventions.Circulation Cardiovascular Imaging 03/2011; 4(3):282-94. · 5.94 Impact Factor -
Article: Impact of imaging landmark on the risk of MRI-related heating near implanted medical devices like cardiac pacemaker leads.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Implanted medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers pose a potential hazard in magnetic resonance imaging. Electromagnetic fields have been shown to cause severe radio frequency-induced tissue heating in some cases. Imaging exclusion zones have been proposed as an instrument to reduce patient risk. The purpose of this study was to further assess the impact of the imaging landmark on the risk for unintended implant heating by measuring the radio frequency-induced electric fields in a body phantom under several imaging conditions at 1.5T. The results show that global radio frequency-induced coupling is highest with the torso centered along the superior-inferior direction of the transmit coil. The induced E-fields inside the body shift when changing body positioning, reducing both global and local radio frequency coupling if body and/or conductive implant are moved out from the transmit coil center along the z-direction. Adequate selection of magnetic resonance imaging landmark can significantly reduce potential hazards in patients with implanted medical devices.Magnetic Resonance in Medicine 01/2011; 65(1):44-50. · 2.96 Impact Factor -

Article: Conditional overexpression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase is cardioprotective in ischemia/reperfusion.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We previously demonstrated that conditional overexpression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) inhibited L-type Ca2+ channels and decreased myocardial contractility. However, nNOS has multiple targets within the cardiac myocyte. We now hypothesize that nNOS overexpression is cardioprotective after ischemia/reperfusion because of inhibition of mitochondrial function and a reduction in reactive oxygen species generation. Ischemia/reperfusion injury in wild-type mice resulted in nNOS accumulation in the mitochondria. Similarly, transgenic nNOS overexpression caused nNOS abundance in mitochondria. nNOS translocation into the mitochondria was dependent on heat shock protein 90. Ischemia/reperfusion experiments in isolated hearts showed a cardioprotective effect of nNOS overexpression. Infarct size in vivo was also significantly reduced. nNOS overexpression also caused a significant increase in mitochondrial nitrite levels accompanied by a decrease of cytochrome c oxidase activity. Accordingly, O(2) consumption in isolated heart muscle strips was decreased in nNOS-overexpressing nNOS(+)/αMHC-tTA(+) mice already under resting conditions. Additionally, we found that the reactive oxygen species concentration was significantly decreased in hearts of nNOS-overexpressing nNOS(+)/αMHC-tTA(+) mice compared with noninduced nNOS(+)/αMHC-tTA(+) animals. We demonstrated that conditional transgenic overexpression of nNOS resulted in myocardial protection after ischemia/reperfusion injury. Besides a reduction in reactive oxygen species generation, this might be caused by nitrite-mediated inhibition of mitochondrial function, which reduced myocardial oxygen consumption already under baseline conditions.Circulation 10/2010; 122(16):1588-603. · 14.74 Impact Factor -
Article: Ablation of atrial flutter in a patient with a tricuspid valve replacement after endocarditis.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Myocardial scars from heart surgery are a source of tachycardia, eventually causing late morbidity and sudden death. In general, catheter ablation has been shown to be an effective therapy for various rhythm disorders, but it has been rarely described after atrioventricular valve replacement. We report on a 45-year-old man who developed atrial flutter after implantation of a tricuspid valve bioprosthesis. An electrophysiological investigation revealed typical type-I counterclockwise atrial flutter that was successfully terminated by catheter ablation. A sinus rhythm was restored and remained stable during the course of treatment; the valvular function was not diminished. It is demonstrated that safe mapping and ablation of typical atrial flutter is possible after a tricuspid valve replacement.Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology 10/2009; 32(9):1237-9. · 1.35 Impact Factor -
Article: Feasibility of real-time MRI with a novel carbon catheter for interventional electrophysiology.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cardiac MRI offers 3D real-time imaging with unsurpassed soft tissue contrast without x-ray exposure. To minimize safety concerns and imaging artifacts in MR-guided interventional electrophysiology (EP), we aimed at developing a setup including catheters for ablation therapy based on carbon technology. The setup, including a steerable carbon catheter, was tested for safety, image distortion, and feasibility of diagnostic EP studies and radiofrequency ablation at 1.5 T. MRI was performed in 3 different 1.5-T whole-body scanners using various receive coils and pulse sequences. To assess unintentional heating of the catheters by radiofrequency pulses of the MR scanner in vitro, a fluoroptic thermometry system was used to record heating at the catheter tip. Programmed stimulation and ablation therapy was performed in 8 pigs. There was no significant heating of the carbon catheters while using short, repetitive radiofrequency pulses from the MR system. Because there was no image distortion when using the carbon catheters, exact targeting of the lesion sites was possible. Both atrial and ventricular radiofrequency ablation procedures including atrioventricular node modulation were performed successfully in the scanner. Potential complications such as pericardial effusion after intentional perforation of the right ventricular free wall during ablation could be monitored in real time as well. We describe a newly developed EP technology for interventional electrophysiology based on carbon catheters. The feasibility of this approach was demonstrated by safety testing and performing EP studies and ablation therapy with carbon catheters in the MRI environment.Circulation Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology 06/2009; 2(3):258-67. · 6.46 Impact Factor -
Article: Effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy on the incidence of electrical storm.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hemodynamic improvement from biventricular pacing is well documented; however, its electrophysiologic effects have not been systematically studied. In this study, incidence and risk factors for electrical storm (ES) were investigated in 729 ICD and biventricular defibrillator (CRT-D) heart failure patients. 168 consecutive CRT-D and 561 ICD patients were retrospectively analyzed for the occurrence of VT/VF and predisposing factors. Electrical storm was defined as ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation ≥3 times during 24 h. Mean follow-up was 41 months. In 168 CRT-D patients only one patient experienced electrical storm compared to 39 patients out of 561 ICD patients (0.6% vs. 7%, p<0.01). 33% of the patients with electrical storm died within one year. In the CRT-D group 81 patients (48%) developed VT or VF and received at least one appropriate therapy, compared to 281 patients (50%) in the ICD group. Mean ejection fraction was 21.7% in the CRT-D group and 34.7% (p<0.01) in the ICD group. Stratifying the patients according to primary or secondary prevention and ejection fraction demonstrated that VT/VF clusters were significantly associated with ICD indication for secondary prevention, previous myocardial infarction and LVEF<30%. The development of electrical storm is accompanied with a highly increased mortality risk even if an ICD/CRT-D is implanted. In CRT-D patients electrical storm is much less common than in ICD patients. Secondary prevention and ejection fraction<30% are predictors of electrical storm. Beside hemodynamic improvements cardiac resynchronization therapy may reduce the arrhythmia burden in heart failure patients.International journal of cardiology 05/2009; 143(3):330-6. · 7.08 Impact Factor -
Article: In vivo comparison of atherosclerotic plaque progression with vessel wall strain and blood flow velocity in apoE(-/-) mice with MR microscopy at 17.6 T.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: At present, in vivo plaque characterization in mice by MRI is typically limited to the visualization of vascular lesions with no accompanying analysis of vessel wall function. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of atherosclerotic plaque development on the morphological and mechanical characteristics of the aortic vessel wall in a pre-clinical murine model of atherosclerosis. Groups of apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE(-/-)) and C57BL/6J control mice fed a high-fat diet were monitored over a 12-week time period by high-field MRI. Multi-Slice-Multi-Spin-Echo and Phase-Contrast MRI sequences were employed to track changes to aortic vessel wall area, blood flow velocity and distensibility. After 6- and 12-weeks, significant changes in vessel wall area and circumferential strain were detected in the apoE(-/-) mice relative to the control animals. Blood flow velocity and intravascular lumen remained unchanged in both groups, findings that are in agreement with the theory of positive remodeling of the ascending aorta during plaque progression. This study has demonstrated the application of high-field MRI for characterizing the temporal progression of morphological and mechanical changes to murine aortic vasculature associated with atherosclerotic lesion development.MAGMA Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics Biology and Medicine 02/2009; 22(3):159-66. · 1.88 Impact Factor -
Article: Measuring RF-induced currents inside implants: Impact of device configuration on MRI safety of cardiac pacemaker leads.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Radiofrequency (RF)-related heating of cardiac pacemaker leads is a serious concern in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Recent investigations suggest such heating to be strongly dependent on an implant's position within the surrounding medium, but this issue is currently poorly understood. In this study, phantom measurements of the RF-induced electric currents inside a pacemaker lead were performed to investigate the impact of the device position and lead configuration on the amount of MRI-related heating at the lead tip. Seven hundred twenty device position/lead path configurations were investigated. The results show that certain configurations are associated with a highly increased risk to develop MRI-induced heating, whereas various configurations do not show any significant heating. It was possible to precisely infer implant heating on the basis of current intensity values measured inside a pacemaker lead. Device position and lead configuration relative to the surrounding medium are crucial to the amount of RF-induced heating in MRI. This indicates that a considerable number of implanted devices may incidentally not develop severe heating in MRI because of their specific configuration in the body. Small variations in configuration can, however, strongly increase the risk for such heating effects, meaning that hazardous situations might appear during MRI.Magnetic Resonance in Medicine 02/2009; 61(3):570-8. · 2.96 Impact Factor -
Article: Pacing lead inserted via the subclavian artery caused acute coronary syndrome.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Introduction of a cardiac pacing lead via the subclavian artery is a rare complication in the process of pacemaker implantation. Removal of the lead from the arterial system imposes an increased risk of cerebral thrombembolism and, in case of arterial puncture, an increased risk of bleeding. METHODS AND RESULTS: Here we describe an acute coronary syndrome caused by a pacing lead inserted via the subclavian artery with the tip implanted close to the ostium of the left coronary artery. We further describe the successful removal of the lead and give a short overview of the literature. CONCLUSION: In cases where a pacemaker or ICD lead has already been placed in the left ventricle for an extended period of time and there is no indication for replacement like insufficient threshold levels, infection, or thrombembolic events, the lead can be left in place and the patient be treated with anticoagulants. In asymptomatic patients with additional indications for cardiac surgery simultaneous lead extraction should be considered. In patients with a history of thrombembolic events, or in patients with other indications for lead replacement, lead extraction should preferably be performed by cardiac surgery, rather than by percutaneous extraction.Herzschrittmachertherapie & Elektrophysiologie 01/2009; 19(4):188-92. -
Article: Spatial distribution of RF-induced E-fields and implant heating in MRI.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to assess the distribution of RF-induced E-fields inside a gel-filled phantom of the human head and torso and compare the results with the RF-induced temperature rise at the tip of a straight conductive implant, specifically examining the dependence of the temperature rise on the position of the implant inside the gel. MRI experiments were performed in two different 1.5T MR systems of the same manufacturer. E-field distribution inside the liquid was assessed using a custom measurement system. The temperature rise at the implant tip was measured in various implant positions and orientations using fluoroptic thermometry. The results show that local E-field strength in the direction of the implant is a critical factor in RF-related tissue heating. The actual E-field distribution, which is dependent on phantom/body properties and the MR-system employed, must be considered when assessing the effects of RF power deposition in implant safety investigations.Magnetic Resonance in Medicine 09/2008; 60(2):312-9. · 2.96 Impact Factor -
Article: MRI thermometry: Fast mapping of RF-induced heating along conductive wires.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Conductive implants are in most cases a strict contraindication for MRI examinations, as RF pulses applied during the MRI measurement can lead to severe heating of the surrounding tissue. Understanding and mapping of these heating effects is therefore crucial for determining the circumstances under which patient examinations are safe. The use of fluoroptic probes is the standard procedure for monitoring these heating effects. However, the observed temperature increase is highly dependent on the positioning of such a probe, as it can only determine the temperature locally. Temperature mapping with MRI after RF heating can be used, but cooling effects during imaging lead to a significant underestimation of the heating effect. In this work, an MRI thermometry method was combined with an MRI heating sequence, allowing for temperature mapping during RF heating. This technique may provide new opportunities for implant safety investigations.Magnetic Resonance in Medicine 07/2008; 60(2):457-61. · 2.96 Impact Factor -
Article: Multimodal functional cardiac MRI in creatine kinase-deficient mice reveals subtle abnormalities in myocardial perfusion and mechanics.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A decrease in the supply of ATP from the creatine kinase (CK) system is thought to contribute to the evolution of heart failure. However, previous studies on mice with a combined knockout of the mitochondrial and cytosolic CK (CK(-/-)) have not revealed overt left ventricular dysfunction. The aim of this study was to employ novel MRI techniques to measure maximal myocardial velocity (V(max)) and myocardial perfusion and thus determine whether abnormalities in the myocardial phenotype existed in CK(-/-) mice, both at baseline and 4 wk after myocardial infarction (MI). As a result, myocardial hypertrophy was seen in all CK(-/-) mice, but ejection fraction (EF) remained normal. V(max), however, was significantly reduced in the CK(-/-) mice [wild-type, 2.32 +/- 0.09 vs. CK(-/-), 1.43 +/- 0.16 cm/s, P < 0.05; and wild-type MI, 1.53 +/- 0.11 vs. CK(-/-) MI, 1.26 +/- 0.11 cm/s, P = not significant (NS), P < 0.05 vs. baseline]. Myocardial perfusion was also lower in the CK(-/-) mice (wild-type, 6.68 +/- 0.27 vs. CK(-/-), 4.12 +/- 0.63 ml/g.min, P < 0.05; and wild-type MI, 3.97 +/- 0.65 vs. CK(-/-) MI, 3.71 +/- 0.57 ml/g.min, P = NS, P < 0.05 vs. baseline), paralleled by a significantly reduced capillary density (histology). In conclusion, myocardial function in transgenic mice may appear normal when only gross indexes of performance such as EF are assessed. However, the use of a combination of novel MRI techniques to measure myocardial perfusion and mechanics allowed the abnormalities in the CK(-/-) phenotype to be detected. The myocardium in CK-deficient mice is characterized by reduced perfusion and reduced maximal contraction velocity, suggesting that the myocardial hypertrophy seen in these mice cannot fully compensate for the absence of the CK system.AJP Heart and Circulatory Physiology 07/2006; 290(6):H2516-21. · 3.71 Impact Factor -
Article: Factor XIII deficiency causes cardiac rupture, impairs wound healing, and aggravates cardiac remodeling in mice with myocardial infarction.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Identification of key molecular players in myocardial healing could lead to improved therapies, reduction of scar formation, and heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI). We hypothesized that clotting factor XIII (FXIII), a transglutaminase involved in wound healing, may play an important role in MI given prior clinical and mouse model data. To determine whether a truly causative relationship existed between FXIII activity and myocardial healing, we prospectively studied myocardial repair in FXIII-deficient mice. All FXIII(-/-) and FXIII(-)(/+) (FXIII activity <5% and 70%) mice died within 5 days after MI from left ventricular rupture. In contradistinction, FXIII(-/-) mice that received 5 days of intravenous FXIII replacement therapy had normal survival rates; however, cardiac MRI demonstrated worse left ventricular remodeling in these reconstituted FXIII(-/-) mice. Using a FXIII-sensitive molecular imaging agent, we found significantly greater FXIII activity in wild-type mice and FXIII(-/-) mice receiving supplemental FXIII than in FXIII(-/-) mice (P<0.05). In FXIII(-/-) but not in reconstituted FXIII(-/-) mice, histology revealed diminished neutrophil migration into the MI. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction studies suggested that the impaired inflammatory response in FXIII(-/-) mice was independent of intercellular adhesion molecule and lipopolysaccharide-induced CXC chemokine, both important for cell migration. After MI, expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 was 650% higher and collagen-1 was 53% lower in FXIII(-/-) mice, establishing an imbalance in extracellular matrix turnover and providing a possible mechanism for the observed cardiac rupture in the FXIII(-/-) mice. These data suggest that FXIII has an important role in murine myocardial healing after infarction.Circulation 04/2006; 113(9):1196-202. · 14.74 Impact Factor
