MRI pulmonary artery flow detects lung vascular pathology in preterms with lung disease.
Eur. Respir. J. 62:14 (2023)
RATIONALE: Pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) affects the majority of preterm neonates with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and significantly determines long-term mortality through undetected progression into pulmonary hypertension. OBJECTIVES: To associate characteristics of pulmonary artery (PA) flow and cardiac function with BPD-associated PVD near term using advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for improved risk stratification. METHODS: Preterms <32 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) with/without BPD were clinically monitored including standard echocardiography and prospectively enrolled for 3TMRI in spontaneous sleep near term (AIRR study). Semi-manual PA flow quantification (phase-contrast MRI, no BPD n=28, mild n=35, moderate/severe n=25) was complemented by cardiac function assessment (cine MRI). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: We identified abnormalities in PA flow and cardiac function, i.e. increased net forward volume (ratio right-over-left), decreased mean relative area change and pathologic right end-diastolic volume to sensitively detect BPD-associated PVD while correcting for PMA (L1OAUC=0.88/sensitivity=0.80/specificity=0.81). We linked these changes to increased right ventricular (RV) afterload (RV-arterial coupling (p=0.02), PA midsystolic notching (p=0.015(t2)), cardiac index (p=1.67×10-8)) and correlated echocardiographic findings. Identified in moderate/severe BPD, we successfully applied the PA flow model in heterogeneous mild BPD cases, demonstrating strong correlation of PVD probability with indicators of BPD severity, i.e., duration of mechanical ventilation (R=0.62, p=3.7×10-4) and oxygen supplementation (R=0.58, p=9.2×10-4). CONCLUSIONS: Abnormalities in MRI PA flow and cardiac function exhibit significant, synergistic potential to detect BPD-associated PVD, advancing the possibilities of risk-adapted monitoring.
