Résumé
Coupling between left ventricle (LV) and left atrium (LA) plays a central role in the process of cardiac remodeling during aging and development of cardiac disease. The hydraulic force (HyF) is related to variation in size between LV and LA. The objectives of this study were to: (1) derive an estimate of left atrioventricular HyF using cine- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in healthy subjects with a wide age range, and (2) study its relationship with age and conventional diastolic function parameters, as estimated by reference echocardiography. We studied 119 healthy volunteers (mean age 44 ± 17 years, 58 women) who underwent Doppler echocardiography and MRI on the same day. Conventional transmitral flow early (E) and late (A) LV filling peak velocities as well as mitral annulus diastolic longitudinal peak velocity (E') were derived from echocardiography. MRI cine SSFP images in longitudinal two and four chamber views were acquired, and analyzed using feature tracking (FT) software. In addition to conventional LV and LA strain measurements, FT-derived LV and LA contours were further used to calculate chamber cross-sectional areas. HyF was approximated as the difference between the LV and LA maximal cross-sectional areas in the diastasis phase corresponding to the lowest LV-LA pressure gradient. Univariate and multivariate analyses while adjusting for appropriate variables were used to study the associations between HyF and age as well as diastolic function and strain indices. HyF decreased significantly with age (R²=0.34, p < 0.0001). In addition, HyF was significantly associated with conventional indices of diastolic function and LA strain: E/A: R²=0.24, p < 0.0001; E': R²=0.24, p < 0.0001; E/E': R²=0.12, p = 0.0004; LA conduit longitudinal strain: R²=0.27, p < 0.0001. In multivariate analysis, associations with E/A (R HyF, estimated using FT contours, which are primarily used to quantify LV/LA strain on standard cardiac cine MRI, varied significantly with age in association with subclinical changes in ventricular filling. Its usefulness in cohorts of patients with left heart disease to detect LV-LA uncoupling remains to be evaluated.

BACKGROUND
Coupling between left ventricle (LV) and left atrium (LA) plays a central role in the process of cardiac remodeling during aging and development of cardiac disease. The hydraulic force (HyF) is related to variation in size between LV and LA. The objectives of this study were to: (1) derive an estimate of left atrioventricular HyF using cine- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in healthy subjects with a wide age range, and (2) study its relationship with age and conventional diastolic function parameters, as estimated by reference echocardiography.
METHODS
METHODS
We studied 119 healthy volunteers (mean age 44 ± 17 years, 58 women) who underwent Doppler echocardiography and MRI on the same day. Conventional transmitral flow early (E) and late (A) LV filling peak velocities as well as mitral annulus diastolic longitudinal peak velocity (E') were derived from echocardiography. MRI cine SSFP images in longitudinal two and four chamber views were acquired, and analyzed using feature tracking (FT) software. In addition to conventional LV and LA strain measurements, FT-derived LV and LA contours were further used to calculate chamber cross-sectional areas. HyF was approximated as the difference between the LV and LA maximal cross-sectional areas in the diastasis phase corresponding to the lowest LV-LA pressure gradient. Univariate and multivariate analyses while adjusting for appropriate variables were used to study the associations between HyF and age as well as diastolic function and strain indices.

RESULTS
HyF decreased significantly with age (R²=0.34, p < 0.0001). In addition, HyF was significantly associated with conventional indices of diastolic function and LA strain: E/A: R²=0.24, p < 0.0001; E': R²=0.24, p < 0.0001; E/E': R²=0.12, p = 0.0004; LA conduit longitudinal strain: R²=0.27, p < 0.0001.

CONCLUSIONS
HyF, estimated using FT contours, which are primarily used to quantify LV/LA strain on standard cardiac cine MRI, varied significantly with age in association with subclinical changes in ventricular filling. Its usefulness in cohorts of patients with left heart disease to detect LV-LA uncoupling remains to be evaluated.
