Advanced MRI in cerebral small vessel disease

Hilde van den Brink et al.

Summary: This review summarizes recent advancements in advanced neuroimaging techniques for cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), including structural imaging, functional and dynamic abnormality imaging, and the application of ultrahigh field MRI at 7 T. These advanced techniques provide novel pathophysiological insights into cSVD, allow improved quantification of disease burden and progression, and have important applications in clinical trials.

Coronary microvascular dysfunction affects left ventricular global longitudinal strain response to dipyridamole stress echocardiography: a pilot study

Ercole Tagliamonte et al.

Summary: This study investigated the left ventricular contractile function in patients with coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) using speckle tracking echocardiography. The results showed that patients with CMD had lower baseline GLS and a different contractile response to dipyridamole infusion compared to those without CMD. There was a significant inverse correlation between CFR and increment GLS.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of different modeling paradigms on human blood-brain barrier (BBB) water exchange measurements and quantified the accuracy and repeatability of BBB-FEXI at 3T. The results showed that compartmental modeling of BBB-FEXI signals can provide accurate and repeatable measurements, but relaxation time and partial volume effects may cause model-dependent biases.

Brain perivascular space imaging across the human lifespan

Kirsten M. Lynch et al.

Summary: Enlarged perivascular spaces (PVS) are biomarkers for vascular pathology and their changes with age, sex, and cognitive performance were characterized in a large cohort using MRI data. Age was found to be associated with wider and more numerous PVS, with different spatial patterns of enlargement. Males had higher PVS burden than females, with differing morphological changes over time. These findings contribute to our understanding of perivascular physiology and serve as a reference for pathological alterations.

Isosorbide Mononitrate and Cilostazol Treatment in Patients With Symptomatic Cerebral Small Vessel Disease The Lacunar Intervention Trial-2 (LACI-2) Randomized Clinical Trial

Joanna M. Wardlaw et al.

Summary: The study tested the feasibility, drug tolerability, safety, and effects of 1-year isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) and cilostazol treatment on vascular, functional, and cognitive outcomes in patients with lacunar stroke. The results showed that ISMN and cilostazol reduced recurrent stroke, dependence, and cognitive impairment, and improved quality of life, with no safety concerns. These agents could prevent other adverse outcomes in cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) and should be tested in large phase 3 trials.

Neuroimaging standards for research into small vessel disease-advances since 2013

Marco Duering et al.

Summary: Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a common age-related condition that can cause stroke, cognitive decline, neurobehavioral symptoms, and functional impairment. STRIVE-1 classified and standardized the various visible features of SVD on structural MRI, but new information and imaging techniques have emerged since then. Quantitative imaging biomarkers and machine learning methods offer a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of SVD on the brain and can serve as intermediary outcomes in clinical trials and routine practice.

Contrast-agent-free state-of-the-art MRI on cerebral small vessel disease-part 1. ASL, IVIM, and CVR

Andre Monteiro Paschoal et al.

Summary: Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) is a common cause of stroke and dementia, and it is associated with microvessel endothelial dysfunction. MRI techniques, including arterial spin labeling (ASL), diffusion tensor imaging, functional MRI, and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), can provide additional information about cSVD beyond conventional MRI measures. These techniques can contribute to the understanding of cSVD's origins, pathology, markers, and clinical outcomes. However, protocol standardization is crucial for their increased clinical use.

Summary: In this study, patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) were stratified based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), resulting in distinct morphologic and pathophysiologic subphenotypes. Patients with LVEF ranging from 50% to 60% demonstrated reduced contractility, impaired ventriculo-arterial coupling, and higher extracellular volume fraction, while patients with LVEF >60% exhibited a hypercontractile state with excessive left ventricular afterload and diminished preload reserve.

Cerebral small vessel disease alters neurovascular unit regulation of microcirculation integrity involved in vascular cognitive impairment

Qin Yang et al.

Summary: Growing evidence suggests a significant association between altered neurovascular unit functioning and the pathophysiology of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) caused by cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). NVU dysregulation may lead to the entry of pathogens from the blood into the cerebral parenchyma by altering the blood-brain barrier (BBB), resulting in VCI. Additionally, the coupling of neural activity with cerebral blood flow and the clearance of metabolic byproducts may also be affected by NVU dysregulation.

The role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in the assessment of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Clement Lau et al.

Summary: Heart failure is a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. Current classifications of heart failure categorize patients based on their left ventricular ejection fraction. Echocardiography is commonly used for assessing diastolic function, but cardiac magnetic resonance has emerged as a valuable tool for diagnosing and phenotype HFpEF. Cardiac magnetic resonance provides additional information and has diagnostic utility in differentiating acquired and inherited heart muscle diseases presenting as HFpEF. It is also used in clinical trials for assessing novel therapies in HFpEF.

Increased blood-brain barrier permeability to water in the aging brain detected using noninvasive multi-TE ASL MRI

Summary: The study reveals that BBB water permeability is 32% faster in aged mice. This is accompanied by a 2.1-fold increase in mRNA expression of aquaporin-4 water channels and a 7.1-fold decrease in mRNA expression of alpha-syntrophin protein. Therefore, age-related changes in water permeability across the BBB can be detected using noninvasive noncontrast MRI techniques.

Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase-Deficient Mice A Model of Spontaneous Cerebral Small-Vessel Disease

Francesca-Fang Liao et al.

Summary: This study used partial endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-deficient mice as a model of age-dependent, spontaneous cerebral small-vessel disease (CSVD) and found that these mice exhibited cerebral hypoperfusion and blood-brain barrier leakage at a young age, with symptoms worsening progressively with age, ultimately leading to brain damage and cognitive impairment. The research also suggested that the bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) signaling pathway in brain pericytes may be a potential therapeutic target for age-related brain vascular diseases.

Cardiac Energy Metabolism in Heart Failure

Gary D. Lopaschuk et al.

Summary: Changes in cardiac energy metabolism are complex and depend on the severity and type of heart failure, as well as the presence of common comorbidities such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. The failing heart experiences an energy deficit due to decreased mitochondrial oxidative capacity, compensated for by increased ATP production from glycolysis. Alterations in mitochondrial ATP production fuels and fatty acid oxidation contribute to the inefficiency of the failing heart, with potential therapeutic targets in energy metabolic pathways to improve cardiac function.

Strategic infarct locations for post-stroke cognitive impairment: a pooled analysis of individual patient data from 12 acute ischaemic stroke cohorts

Nick A. Weaver et al.

Summary: This study provides the first comprehensive map of strategic infarct locations associated with risk of PSCI and derived a location impact score that robustly predicted PSCI across cohorts. Through leave-one-cohort-out cross-validation, it was found that the univariable model with only the location impact score had similar performance to the multivariable model with other PSCI predictors, while allowing for easy visual assessment. The development of a quick and reliable visual rating scale may be useful for clinicians in identifying individual patients at risk of PSCI in the future.
