BACKGROUND: The assessment of myocardial viability after global warm ischemia (WI) but before reperfusion is challenging. We hypothesized that fractional anisotropy (FA), a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameter of water diffusion that characterizes cellular integrity within tissues, provides a rapid and useful method for evaluating the viability of hearts after WI.
METHODS: Dog hearts were exposed to 60 minutes of WI after exanguination, explanted and preserved in a cold, non-beating state for 6 hours, using continuous perfusion (CP) or static cold storage (CS). Toward the end of preservation, a global FA assessment, acquired using MRI, was compared with analyses obtained from myocardial biopsies that included adenosine triphosphate (ATP), endothelin-1 (ET-1) and caspase-3 levels, light microscopy and tetrazolium staining. Functional recovery was analyzed after restoration of blood flow on a non-working Langendorff preparation.
RESULTS: FA measured at the end of CP showed strong correlations with all parameters of functional recovery (developed pressure, R = 0.60; dP/dt, R = 0.96; -dP/dt, R = 0.96). Although FA also correlated with tissue levels of ATP, ET-1 and caspase-3 (R = 0.77, -0.84, -0.64), recovery of myocardial function did not correlate with these markers or any other conventional analyses of myocardial injury (troponin I, changes on light microscopy or tetrazolium staining).
CONCLUSIONS: FA, an MRI-based parameter that indicates cellular integrity, was found to reflect better myocardial ATP stores, less induction of ET-1 and caspase-3 and improved functional recovery of hearts after global WI. As a clinically applicable tool capable of rapidly differentiating reversible from lethal injury, diffusion tensor imaging may prove useful in the eventual adoption of non-beating donor hearts for transplantation.
