In-vivo assessment of myocardial calcium uptake using manganese-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance in aortic stenosis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundDysregulated myocardial calcium handling has been demonstrated in ischemic, non-ischemic and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) provides a unique method to quantify in-vivo myocardial calcium uptake but no studies have so far utilized MEMRI in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). We sought to: 1) determine whether myocardial calcium uptake is perturbed in people with severe AS, and 2) assess change in calcium uptake following aortic valve replacement (AVR).
methodsIn this prospective, pilot, case-control study, adults with severe AS underwent MEMRI before and after AVR. A group of healthy controls were also recruited. The primary outcome was the rate of manganese uptake (Ki) as assessed by Patlak modeling to act as a surrogate of myocardial calcium uptake. Comparison of Ki between groups was adjusted for age, body mass index (BMI) and systolic blood pressure.
resultsTwenty-eight controls and ten subjects with severe AS (age 72 [61-75] years, 8 male, 7 symptomatic, valve area 0.81 [0.74-1.0] cm
conclusionsDespite clear features of adverse LV remodeling and systolic dysfunction, patients with severe AS demonstrated no alteration in calcium uptake at baseline compared to controls. Moreover, AVR led to reverse LV remodeling but no notable change in calcium uptake was seen. This may suggest that altered myocardial calcium handling does not play a significant pathophysiological role in AS.
