Abstract

Background: The prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) entropy in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is unclear.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of LV entropy from T1 mapping in HCM.

Methods: A total of 748 participants with HCM, who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), were consecutively enrolled. LV entropy was quantified by native T1 mapping. A competing risk analysis and a Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were performed to identify potential associations of LV entropy with sudden cardiac death (SCD) and cardiovascular death (CVD), respectively.

Results: A total of 40 patients with HCM experienced SCD, and 65 experienced CVD during a median follow-up of 43 months. Participants with increased LV entropy ( ≥4.06 ) were more likely to experience SCD and CVD (all P < 0.05) in the entire study cohort or the subgroup with low late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) extent ( <15% ). After adjustment for the European Society of Cardiology predictors and the presence of high LGE extent ( ≥15% ), LV mean entropy was an independent predictor for SCD (HR: 1.03; all P < 0.05) by the multivariable competing risk analysis and CVD (HR: 1.06; 95% CI: 1.03-1.09; P < 0.001) by multivariable Cox regression analysis.

Conclusions: LV mean entropy derived from native T1 mapping, reflecting myocardial tissue heterogeneity, was an independent predictor of SCD and CVD in participants with HCM. (Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinical Application Registration Study; ChiCTR1900024094)
