  3. Definition • Idiopathic or systemic myocardial disease characterized by: • Impaired ventricular filling • Elevated diastolic pressures • Normal or reduced diastolic volume of ventricle(s) • Normal/near normal systolic function until advanced stages

  4. Clinical & Echo Characteristics • Nondilated ventricle • Normal to increased wall thickness • Rigid ventricular walls • Severe diastolic dysfunction • Restrictive filling • Elevated diastolic filling pressures • Dilated atria, elevated RA pressure • Pulmonary hypertension • Inability to ↑ CO with exercise due to impaired filling • Right sided failure Benotti, JR et al. Clinical profile of restrictive cm. Circ 80’ 61:1206

  5. Clinical Presentation • Signs of pulmonary and systemic congestion in absence of cardiomegaly • Dyspnea • PND, orthopnea • Peripheral edema • Palpitations • Fatigue, weakness, exercise intolerance • Thromboembolic complications (up to 1/3 with idiopathic RCM) • Cardiac conduction disturbances • Amyloid , sarcoid, hemochromatosis • AF common in IRCM & amyloidosis • Advanced Stage • Marked elevation in CVP • Hepatosplenomegaly, ascites, anasarca

  6. Physical Examination • Pulse: normal or low amplitude/tachycardic [low SV] • JVP: elevated with prominent x and y descents • Kussmaul’s sign: JVP fails to fall or ↑es w/ inspiration • Increased resistance to RA filling during inspiration • LV impulse: normal • S1, S2 normal, often S3 present • abrupt cessation of rapid ventricular filling • Regurgitant murmurs • Peripheral edema, ascites, pulsatile liver, HSM

  8. Secondary restrictive physiology may occur in advanced stages of dilated, hypertrophic, hypertensive, ischemic heart disease Kushwaha et al. 336 (4): 267, Table 1     January 23, 1997

  9. Myocardial, Non-infiltrative • Idiopathic • Sporadic , AD, or AR • Familial type: part of spectrum of familial HCM? • Different phenotypic expression of same genetic disease • May be associated with distal skeletal myopathy, occasionally heart block [fibrosis of SA & AV nodes] • Manifests at any age [childrens’ prognosis worse, adults’ course protracted] • Incidence in elderly, women  men • Survival time variable, mean 9 years • Disease of exclusion Marked patchy interstitial fibrosis

  10. Idiopathic Restrictive CM:2D Echo features • Biatrial enlargement • Thrombi in atrial appendages • Cavity size/wall thicknessnormal • Normal or reduced global systolic function • Right ventricle eventually enlarges [depending on degree of PH] • May have patchy, granular sparkling appearance Non-dilated, non-hypertrophied ventricles with dilated atria

  11. Myocardial, Non-infiltrative • Scleroderma • Myocardial fibrosis, contraction band necrosis [dense bands through myofibers often seen after ischemiai w. reperfusion] • Often patchy, may be biventricular • Microvascular occlusions → ischemia • Fibrinous pericarditis, effusions • Ventricular conduction abnormalities • Heart block, SVTs, VT, pseudoinfarction patterns on ECG • Pulmonary hypertension leading cause of morbidity/mortality Fibrous tissue replacement: Thinned papillary muscles & LV wall Braunwald, Heart Disease; 6th edition

  12. Myocardial, Infiltrative • Amyloid • Primary:light chain immunoglobulin overproduction from monoclonal plasma cells (multiple myeloma) • 50% clinical cardiac involvement • Secondary:fragments of serum amyloid A protein • Chronic inflammatory conditions (Crohn’s, RA, Tb, FMF) • 10% clinical cardiac involvement • Familial & Senile: overproduction of transthyretin [>50 mutations] • Familial usually AD, associated with ascending peripheral & autonomic neuropathy • ‹ 5% clinical cardiac involvement Dx: endomyocardial or fat biopsy Left: prominent interstitium, expansion by acellular, eosinophilic substance. [Uneven size myocardial cells, vacuolated] Right: affinity for sulfated alcian blue (histochemical equivalent of congo red stain)

  13. Myocardial, Infiltrative • Amyloid • Deposits may be interstitial & widespread: • Myocardial Dysfunction: • Diffuse infiltration of myocardium with stiff beta-pleated fibrils →impaired relaxation, diastolic dysfunction • Replacement of functional myocardium with amyloid-> systolic dysfunction • Stiff Heart Syndrome: restrictive filling present & impaired systolic function • Deposits may localize to: • Conduction tissue: heart block, ventricular arrhythmias • Valves: regurgitation • Pericardium: constriction • Coronaries: ischemia • Prognosis poor, median survival two years • Diastolic function found to be a stronger predictor of cardiac death than LV wall thickness or systolic function • Cardiac transplantation not usually performed Swanton, RH et al. Systolic and diastolic ventricular function in cardiac amyloidosis. Am J Cardiol 1977; 39:658. Utility of echocardiography in evaluation of individuals with cardiomyopathy. Heart 2004;90

  14. Amyloid: 2D Echo features • Ventricular cavities may be small, normal, or moderately dilated • Atrial appendage thrombi • Dilated atria & IVC • Normal or increased wall thickness • Prognostic variable • Survival range 2.4 yrs if NL(≤12 mm) • 0.4 yrs if markedly  (15 mm) • Variable (but often depressed) systolic function • Involvement of pericardium, valves, coronaries • Granular, sparkling appearance is characteristic BiV hypertrophy, biatrial enlargement, & mild, diffuse valve thickening Cueto-Garcia L, et al. Echo findings in systemic amyloidosis. JACC 85; 6 Katritsis, D et al. Primary restrictive CM: clinical and pathologic characteristics. JACC 91; 18

  15. Myocardial, Infiltrative • Sarcoidosis • Affects young/middle age adults, no gender prediliction • Noncaseating granulomas in lungs, spleen, lymph nodes, skin, liver, parotid glands, heart • Infiltration of conduction system, LV (upper septum), pulmonary artery • Autopsy: Cardiac involvement in 25%, Clinically: 5% • Cardiac manifestations: restrictive cm->dilated • Conduction abnormalities, high-grade AV block, VT • Patchy distribution • Biopsy sensitivity of 20-30% • Sudden cardiac death in 17% with extensive cardiac granulomas • Cardiac transplantation may be appropriate for intractable heart failure or arrhythmias Griffin BP; Manual of CV Medicine 2004

  17. Myocardial, Infiltrative • Gaucher’s • Most common lysosomal storage disease • Deficiency in beta-glucocerebrocidase enzyme • Accumulation of cerebroside in many organs, usually bm, spleen, liver, brain • More rare: pulmonary & cardiovascular involvement • Cerebroside accumulation in interstitium of LV -> restrictive cm • Often subclinical • Pulmonary hypertension from pulmonary capillary occlusion • Calcification & thickening of valves, pericardial effusion • Hurler’s Syndrome • Mucopolysaccharide accumulation leads to severe skeletal deformities, hepatosplenomegaly, mental retardation • Cardiac involvement evident between 1-5 years of age • Mucopolysaccharide deposition in myocardial interstitium, valves, coronary arteries, aorta

  18. Metabolic StorageDiseases • Hemochromatosis • Five types, AD or AR • Iron deposition in multiple organs (heart, liver, skin, pancreas, pituitary, joints) • Dilated>restrictive cardiomyopathy • Systolic dysfunction indicates a poor prognosis • Conduction disturbances common, e.g., SSS • SVT & VT occur in 1/3 of patients • Granular or sparkling appearance may be seen on echo • Atrial enlargement • Treatment with repeated phlebotomy or chelation (desferrioxamine) may reverse LV dysfunction • Cardiac transplantation can be considered Hurst’s The Heart, 10th edition

  19. Fabry Disease (angiokeratoma corporis diffusum,ceramide trihexosidosis, or Anderson-Fabry disease ) • X-linked disorder of glycosphingolipid metabolism • Due to deficiency of lysosomal ceramide (- galactosidase) • Intracellular accumulation & deposition of glycolipids in heart, skin, kidneys • First symptoms manifest by age 10 • Peripheral neuropathy, hypohidrosis, skin lesions (angiokeratomas), renal dysfunction Nagueh, SF. Fabry disease. Heart 2003; 89:819.

  20. Fabry Disease • Accumulation occurs in myocardium, vascular, and valvular endothelium • May develop LVH (concentric) with hypertrophic CM, restrictive CM, or dilated CM • Conduction abnormalities, AR>MR, premature CAD, aortic root dilation, premature stroke • Cardiac manifestations may not occur until age 30 • Echo findings are similar to amyloid • LV mass correlates with disease severity • Full expression in males, incomplete in females • Screening for plasma alpha-galactosidase A levels in patients with unexplained concentric LVH should be considered • Recombinant alpha-galactosidase causes regression of cardiac dysfunction

  21. Endomyocardial Diseases Endomyocardial Fibrosis (Davies Disease) • Tropics • 10-20% of deaths due to HF in equitorial Africa • Children, young adults • No gender prediliction • Intense endocardial fibrotic thickening of apex & subvalvular regions of ventricle(s)→ obstruction to blood inflow, regurgitation, restrictive physiology • Histology: granulation tissue, collagen, connective tissue lines endocardium • Affects both (50%), left (40%), right (10%) ventricles • Two year mortality up to 50%

  22. Endomyocardial Fibrosis:Echo Features • Inferobasal LV wall thickening • Endocardial thrombus deposition • Apical obliteration • Biventricular involvement in ½ of patients • Ventricular cavities vary in size but often obliterated by extensive endocardial thickening • Large atria • Papillary muscle involvement & AV valve apparatus with valve deformity common • Regurgitation>stenosis • AF common

  23. Endomyocardial Diseases • Loeffler’s endocarditis [eosinophilic cardiomyopathy] • Temperate climates • Activated eosinophils may release cardiotoxic intracytoplasmic granules • Middle age, usually men • Intense eosinophilia, nervous system & bone marrow involvement, skin rash, constitutional symtpms • Restrictive cardiac disease (often biventricular), fibrinoid vasculitis of coronaries • Valvular involvement leads to regurgitation or stenosis of AV valves • Thromboembolic phenomena • Mural & atrial thrombi • LV thrombi in absence of WMA • Gradual apical obliteration; apex fills with echogenic mass Tai PC Lancet 87’; 1; Wood MJ et al; Utility of Echo in the Eval of Ind with CM; Heart 2004; 90 Thrombus deposition in RV/LV apices

  25. Carcinoid Syndrome • Echo findings in 2/3 of patients • Thickened, retracted, immobile tricuspid & pulmonary valves • RA/RV enlargement • RA wall thickening on TEE • Pulmonary outflow obstruction may occur • TR/PR on doppler • Rarely see metastatic tumors to heart • Valvular lesions do not regress with therapy

  26.

  27. EndomyocardialDiseases • Metastatic cancer (lung, breast, melanoma, leukemia, lymphoma) • Drug toxicity: • Anthracylines: dilated CM & endomyocardial fibrosis • Risk of restrictive cm markedly increased with concurrent irradiation • Diastolic abnormalities do not appear to be dose-related • Drugs causing endomyocardial fibrosis • Methylsergide • Serotonin • Busulfan • Ergotamine • Mercurial agents

  28. Doppler Echo findings: Early in Disease Course • Impaired diastolic filling • Doppler of LV inflow • Reduced E velocity, increased A velocity • Prolonged isovolumic relaxation time • Decreased early diastolic deceleration slope • Pulmonary vein inflow • Reduced diastolic filling phase • Normal systolic filling phase • Decreased ratio of systolic to diastolic PV flow Zile et al. Circ 02’; 105

  29. Pseudonormalization • LA pressure rises • Increased pressure gradient from LA to LV at MV opening • E and A velocities may remain relatively normal • Pulmonary venous inflow • Systolic filling normal or decreased • Diastolic is normal or increased • Increased resistance to LV filling :  in velocity and duration of atrial flow reversal in lower resistance PV Otto, Textbook of Clinical Echo; 3rd edition

  30. Advanced Restrictive Pattern • Ventricular compliance continues to decrease • Increased mitral early diastolic filling velocity (E) [> 1m/s] • Deceleration slope becomes more rapid • A velocity reduced due to increased LVEDP & reduced atrial contractile function [<.5 m/s] • Increased E:A ratio (>2) • Mitral deceleration time shortens (<150 ms) • Isovolumic relaxation time shortens [ 70 ms] • PV flow shows increased diastolic phase, reduced systolic phase & Pva increases further in duration & velocity E/A 2.4

  31. Myocardial Tissue Doppler Signals • Displays the velocities of the myocardium during contraction and relaxation • Can assist in assessment and grading of diastolic function • Sm: myocardial velocity during systole • Em: myocardial velocity during early filling • Am: myocardial velocity during filling due to atrial contraction • In restrictive pattern, Em is diminutive • Helpful in differentiating constriction from restriction

  32. Cardiac MR • Can aid in distinguishing between the cardiomyopathies • Hemochromatosis produces low signal intensity due to iron deposition • May differentiate primary restrictive CM from amyloidosis based on tissue characterization • May detect mass lesions due to sarcoid granuloma or scar • Can aid in differentiating constrictive from restrictive disease Celetti et al, AJC 99’ 83
