Abstract

Abstract Background Cardiac involvement in patients with immunoglubin light-chain amyloidosis (AL) is a major determinant of treatment choice and prognosis, and early identification of high-risk patients can initiate intensive treatment strategies to achieve better survival. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of native T1 and ECV in patients with AL-cardiac amyloidosis (CA). Methods A total of 38 patients (mean age 59 ± 11 years) with AL diagnosed histopathologically from July 2017 to October 2021 were collected consecutively. All patients were performed 3.0-T cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) including cine, T1 mapping, and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Pre- and post-contrast T1 mapping images were transferred to a dedicated research software package (CVI42 v5.11.3) to create parametric T1 and ECV values. In addition, clinical and laboratory data of all patients were collected, and patients or their family members were regularly followed up by telephone every 3 months. The starting point of follow-up was the time of definitive pathological diagnosis, and the main endpoint was all-cause death. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional risk model were used to evaluate the association between native T1 and ECV and death in patients with CA. Results After a median follow-up of 27 (16, 37) months, 12 patients with CA died. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that elevated native T1 and ECV were closely associated with poor prognosis in patients with CA. The survival rate of patients with ECV > 44% and native T1 > 1389ms were significantly lower than that of patients with ECV ≤ 44% and native T1 ≤ 1389ms (Log-rank P < 0.001), and was not associated with the presence of LGE. After adjusting for clinical risk factors and CMR measurements in a stepwise multivariate Cox regression model, ECV [risk ratio (HR):1.37, 95%CI: 1.09–1.73, P = 0.008] and native T1 (HR:1.01, 95%CI: 1.00-1.02, P = 0.037) remained independent predictors of all-cause mortality in patients with CA. Conclusions Both native T1 and ECV were independently prognostic for mortality in patients with CA, and can be used as important indicators for clinical prognosis assessment of AL.
