J Pers Med 2022; 12:jpm12122023. [PMID: 36556245 PMCID: PMC9784877 DOI: 10.3390/jpm12122023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Limited data regarding the outcome of patients with different types of ventricular tachyarrhythmias is available. This study sought to assess the prognostic impact of different types of ventricular tachyarrhythmias stratified by underlying cardiac disease. A large retrospective registry was used including all consecutive patients presenting with ventricular tachycardia (VT) and fibrillation (VF) on admission from 2002 to 2016. Patients with non-sustained VT (ns-VT), sustained VT (s-VT) and VF were compared using uni- and multivariable Cox regression models. Risk stratification was performed after stratification by underlying cardiac disease (i.e., acute myocardial infarction (AMI), ischemic heart disease (IHD), non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) and patients considered as lower-risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias). The primary endpoint was defined as all-cause mortality at 2.5 years. Secondary endpoints were cardiac death at 24 h, all-cause mortality at 5 years, cardiac rehospitalization and a composite arrhythmic endpoint at 2.5 years. In 2422 consecutive patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias, most patients were admitted with VF (44%), followed by ns-VT (30%) and s-VT (26%). Patients with VF suffered most commonly from AMI (42%), whereas heart failure was more common in s-VT patients (32%). In patients with AMI (HR = 1.146; 95% CI 0.751-1.750; p = 0.527) and in the lower-risk group (HR = 1.357; 95% CI 0.702-2.625; p = 0.364), the risk of all-cause mortality did not differ in VF and s-VT patients. In IHD patients, VF was associated with impaired prognosis compared to s-VT (HR = 2.502; 95% CI 1.936-3.235; p = 0.001). In conclusion, VF was associated with worse long-term prognosis compared to s-VT in IHD patients, whereas the risk of all-cause mortality among VF and s-VT patients did not differ in patients with AMI, NICM and in patients considered at lower risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias.

Prognostic Value of Cardiac Troponin I in Patients with Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11112987. [PMID: 35683378 PMCID: PMC9181556 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11112987] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Besides the diagnostic role in acute myocardial infarction, cardiac troponin I levels (cTNI) may be increased in various other clinical conditions, including heart failure, valvular heart disease and sepsis. However, limited data are available regarding the prognostic role of cTNI in the setting of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Therefore, the present study sought to assess the prognostic impact of cTNI in patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias (i.e., ventricular tachycardia (VT) and fibrillation (VF)) on admission. A large retrospective registry was used, including all consecutive patients presenting with ventricular tachyarrhythmias from 2002 to 2015. The prognostic impact of elevated cTNI levels was investigated for 30-day all-cause mortality (i.e., primary endpoint) using Kaplan–Meier, receiver operating characteristic (ROC), multivariable Cox regression analyses and propensity score matching. From a total of 1104 patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias and available cTNI levels on admission, 46% were admitted with VT and 54% with VF. At 30 days, high cTNI was associated with the primary endpoint (40% vs. 22%; log rank p = 0.001; HR = 2.004; 95% CI 1.603–2.505; p = 0.001), which was still evident after multivariable adjustment and propensity score matching (30% vs. 18%; log rank p = 0.003; HR = 1.729; 95% CI 1.184–2.525; p = 0.005). Significant discrimination of the primary endpoint was especially evident in VT patients (area under the curve (AUC) 0.734; 95% CI 0.645–0.823; p = 0.001). In contrast, secondary endpoints, including all-cause mortality at 30 months and a composite arrhythmic endpoint, were not affected by cTNI levels. The risk of cardiac rehospitalization was lower in patients with high cTNI, which was no longer observed after propensity score matching. In conclusion, high cTNI levels were associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality at 30 days in patients presenting with ventricular tachyarrhythmias.

Predictors of Adverse Events Among Chronic Total Occlusion Patients Undergoing Successful Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Medical Therapy. Clin Interv Aging 2021; 16:1847-1855. [PMID: 34703218 PMCID: PMC8523319 DOI: 10.2147/cia.s337069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Limited data are available on the predictors of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after a successful coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and medical therapy. This study aimed to identify predictors of MACE in CTO patients undergoing successful recanalization and medical therapy. Methods A total of 2015 patients with CTOs were enrolled. About 718 patients underwent successful CTO recanalization, and 1297 patients received medical therapy. The primary outcome was the frequency of MACE, defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target-vessel revascularization. Multivariate models were used to determine predictors of MACE. Results In successful CTO recanalization group, MACE occurred in 123 (17.1%) patients. In multivariate analysis, heart failure (hazard ratio [HR] 1.77, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.04–3.04, p = 0.036) was identified as independent predictors for MACE in successful CTO recanalization. Additionally, in medical therapy group, the significant predictors of MACE were male gender (HR 1.53, 95% CI: 1.13–2.05, p = 0.005), diabetes mellitus (HR 1.39, 95% CI: 1.11–1.74, p = 0.003), heart failure (HR 1.44, 95% CI: 1.10–1.87, p = 0.007), J-CTO score (HR 1.17, 95% CI: 1.07–1.28, p = 0.001) and multivessel disease (HR 2.20, 95% CI: 1.42–3.39, p < 0.001). Conclusion Heart failure was predictor for composite cardiovascular events in patients with CTO after successful recanalization. Male gender, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, J-CTO score and multivessel disease were predictors of MACE in CTO patients with medical therapy.

Prognostic Impact of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of Chronic Total Occlusion in Acute and Periprocedural Myocardial Infarction. J Clin Med 2021; 10:E258. [PMID: 33445664 PMCID: PMC7828144 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10020258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2020] [Revised: 12/22/2020] [Accepted: 01/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) has gained increasing clinical attention as the most advanced form of coronary artery disease. Prior studies already indicated a clear association of CTO with adverse clinical outcomes, especially in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and concomitant CTO of the non-infarct-related coronary artery (non-IRA). Nevertheless, the prognostic impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of CTO in the acute setting during AMI is still controversial. Due to the complexity of the CTO lesion, CTO-PCI leads to an increased risk of complications compared to non-occlusive coronary lesions. Therefore, this review outlines the prognostic impact of CTO-PCI in patients with AMI. In addition, the prognostic impact of periprocedural myocardial infarction caused by CTO-PCI will be discussed.
