Clinical and Echocardiographic Predictors for the Presence of Late Gadolinium Enhancement on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.
Diagnostics 2023 December 28
Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) reflects the burden of myocardial damage in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. This study aimed to identify the clinical and echocardiographic parameters that can predict myocardial LGE on CMRI in CO poisoning. This prospective observational study included patients who presented with acute CO poisoning and elevated troponin I and underwent echocardiography and CMRI to identify myocardial damage at a tertiary university hospital between August 2017 and May 2019 and August 2020 and July 2022. Based on the CMRI findings, participants were categorized into LGE and non-LGE groups. The median age of the 155 patients was 51.0 years, and 98 (63.2%) were males. Median times from emergency department arrival to either CMRI or echocardiography were 3.0 days each. The LGE group included 99 (63.9%) patients with LGE positivity on CMRIs. Time from rescue to hyperbaric oxygen therapy >4 h (odds ratio (OR): 3.31, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.28-8.56, p = 0.01); serum lactate levels >2 mmol/L (OR: 2.62, 95% CI: 1.20-5.73, p = 0.02); and left ventricular global longitudinal strain >-16% (OR: 2.95, 95% CI: 1.35-6.47, p = 0.007) were significant predictors of LGE positivity. The area under the curve of these predictors was 0.711. Our prediction model, which combines the clinical parameters with left ventricular global longitudinal strain, may be helpful in the early detection of LGE positivity.
