  ABSTRACT Objective Late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) imaging is the reference standard for non-invasive assessment of fibrosis. In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients the histological substrate for LGE is still unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of LGE and strain echocardiography to detect type and extent of myocardial fibrosis in obstructive HCM patients undergoing septal myectomy. Methods Thirty-two HCM patients (age 60±10) were included in this cross-sectional study and preoperatively examined by speckle-tracking strain echocardiography and LGE-CMR (n=21). Histological fibrosis was classified as interstitial, replacement and total. Results Histological fibrosis was present in 31 patients. The percentage of total, interstitial and replacement fibrosis was 15(7, 31)%, 11(5, 24)% and 3(1, 6)%, respectively. Reduced longitudinal septal strain correlated with total (r=0.50, p=0.01) and interstitial (r=0.40, p=0.03), but not with replacement fibrosis (r=0.28, p=0.14). Septal LGE was detected in 13/21 (62%), but percentage LGE did not correlate with total fibrosis (r=0.25, p=0.28). Extent of fibrosis did not differ between patients with and without septal LGE (20(9, 58)% versus 14(5, 19)% p=0.41). Patients with ventricular arrhythmias (n=8) had lower septal longitudinal strain and increased extent total and interstitial fibrosis in myectomy specimens, but no differences were demonstrated in LGE. Reduced longitudinal septal strain and increased extent of interstitial fibrosis predicted ventricular arrhythmias independently of age and gender. Conclusions In myectomised HCM patients, reduced longitudinal septal strain correlated better with interstitial and total fibrosis in myectomy specimens, and was a more powerful tool to predict arrhythmias than LGE.

  BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast total hospital costs and subsequent reimbursement of implementing a new program using a third-generation left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in Norway. METHODS: Between July 2005 and March 2008, the total costs of treatment for 9 patients were examined. Costs were calculated for three periods—the pre-implantation LVAD phase, the LVAD implantation phase and the post-implantation LVAD phase—as well as for total hospital care. Patientspecific costs were obtained prospectively from patient records and included personnel resources, medication, blood products, blood chemistry and microbiology, imaging, and procedure costs including operating room costs. Overhead costs were registered retrospectively and allocated to the specific patient by pre-defined allocation keys. Finally, patient-specific costs and overhead costs were aggregated into total patient costs. RESULTS: The average total patient cost in 2007 U.S. dollars was $735,342 and the median was $613,087 (range $342,581 to $1,256,026). The mean length of stay was 77 days (range 40 to 127 days). For the LVAD implantation phase, the mean cost was $457,795 and median cost was $458,611 (range $246,239 to $677,680). The mean length of stay for the LVAD implantation phase was 55 days (range 25 to 125 days). The diagnosis-related group (DRG) reimbursement (2007) was $143,192. CONCLUSIONS: There is significant discrepancy between actual hospital costs and the current Norwegian DRG reimbursement for the LVAD procedure. This discrepancy can be partly explained by excessive costs related to the introduction of a new program with new technology. Costly innovations should be considered in price setting of reimbursement for novel technology.

  Summary An association between chronic marginal periodontitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been suggested. The aim of this study was to investigate whether chronic marginal periodontitis is more prevalent in very severe COPD than in other very severe respiratory diseases, and whether periodontitis in COPD is related to risk factors for periodontitis that are often present in COPD subjects. Orthopantomograms were collected from 130 patients with COPD and 50 patients with non-COPD evaluated for lung transplantation. Chronic marginal periodontitis was defined as a general marginal bone level 4 mm. The prevalence of periodontitis was 44% in the COPD group vs. 7.3% in the non-COPD group. All oral measurements differed significantly between the groups. The difference in mean marginal bone level remained statistically significant when adjusting for age, gender and pack years smoked. In logistic regression analysis mean marginal bone level 4 mm was identified as a factor significantly associated with severe COPD. This study demonstrates that chronic marginal periodontitis is common in patients with severe COPD. The high prevalence of periodontitis in COPD patients appears to be independent of possible risk factors for periodontitis such as age, pack years smoked, body mass index, use of corticosteroids and bone mineral density.

  Objectives: To explore health related quality of life, measured with Short Form 36 (SF-36), in adults with verified Marfan syndrome, and to compare with the health related quality of life in the general population, other groups with chronic health problems and with the results in other studies on Marfan syndrome, respectively. We also wanted to study correlations between the scores on the subscales of SF-36 and the presence of biomedical criteria and symptoms of Marfan syndrome. Methods: Cross-sectional study. SF-36 was investigated in 84 adults with verified Marfan syndrome. Results: The study group had reduced scores on all eight subscales of SF-36 compared to the results in the general population, but similar scores as reported in other groups with chronic diseases. Compared to earlier SF-36 results in Marfan syndrome, we found lower scores for social function, vitality, general health, bodily pain and role physical. No correlations of substantial explanatory values were found between the SF-36 subscales and gender, BMI, ascending aortic surgery, use of β-blockers, visual acuity, joint hypermobility, fulfilment of the five major Ghent criteria, and number of major criteria fulfilled. Potential explanations are discussed. Conclusion: Persons with Marfan syndrome report reduced scores on health related quality of life measured with SF-36, comparable to those with other chronic diseases and disabilities. The reduction in health related quality of life does not seem to be related to biomedical criteria or specific organ manifestations in Marfan syndrome.
