Abstract

BACKGROUND: Regional cardiac sympathetic denervation is predictive of sudden cardiac arrest in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The reproducibility of denervation scores between automated software programs has not been evaluated. This study seeks to (1) compare the inter-rater reliability of regional denervation measurements using two analysis programs: FlowQuant

METHODS: N = 190 dynamic [

RESULTS: Inter-observer, inter-software, and test-retest ICC values were excellent (ICC = 94% to 99%) and measurement variability was small (RPC < 11%). Mean differences between observers ranged .2% to 1.1% for Corridor4DM (P = .28), FlowQuant (P < .001), and between software programs (P < .001). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated HED scores from both programs were predictive of SCA.

CONCLUSION: Inter-rater reliability for both analysis programs was excellent and test-retest repeatability was consistent. The minimal difference in scores between FlowQuant and Corridor4DM supports their use in future trials.
