Abstrakt: Background and Purpose: Conventional cardiac magnetic resonance (CCMR) imaging is usually performed with breath-holding (BH), which is adverse in patients with BH limitations. We explored the ability of a free-breathing CMR (fCMR) protocol to prognosticate in patients with coronary heart diseases (CHD) and limited BH ability.Methods: Sixty-seven patients with CHD and limited BH abilities were prospectively enrolled in this study. All patients underwent comprehensive fCMR imaging at 3.0 T. The fCMR protocols included compressed sensing (CS) single-shot cine acceleration imaging, and motion-corrected (MOCO), single-shot late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging. Image quality (IQ) of the cine and LGE images was evaluated based on the 5-point Likert scale. The value of fMRI in providing a prognosis in patients with CHD was assessed. Statistical methods included the T test, Mann-Whitney test, Kappa test, Kaplan-Meier curve, Log-rank test, Cox proportional hazard regression analysis, and receiver operating characteristic curves.Results: All IQ scores of the short axis CS-cine and both the short and long axes MOCO LGE images were ≥ 3 points. Over a median follow-up of 31 months (range 3.8-38.2), 25 major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) occurred. In the univariate analysis, infarction size (IS), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), 3D-Global peak longitudinal strain (3D-GPLS), heart failure classification were significantly associated with MACE. When the significantly univariate MACE predictors, added to the multivariate analysis, which showed IS (HR 1.02; 95% CI 1.00-1.05; p = 0.048) and heart failure with preserved EF (HR 0.20; 95% CI 0.04-0.98; p = 0.048) correlated positively with MACE. The optimal cutoff value for LVEF, 3D-GPLS, and IS in predicting MACE was 34.2%, - 5.7%, and 26.1% respectively, with a sensitivity of 90.5%, 64%, and 96.0% and specificity of 72%, 95.2%, and 85.7% respectively.Conclusions: The fCMR protocol can be used to make prognostic assessments in patients with CHD and BH limitations by calculating IS and LVEF.
