Incidence and progression of atrial fibrillation in patients with and without heart failure using mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists: a meta-analysis. Clin Res Cardiol 2024; 113:884-897. [PMID: 38170251 DOI: 10.1007/s00392-023-02349-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) have emerged as potential therapy to target the underlying arrhythmogenic substrate in atrial fibrillation (AF). Nevertheless, there have been inconsistent results on the impact of MRAs on AF. OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate the effect of MRAs on AF incidence and progression in patients with and without heart failure. METHODS Electronic databases were searched up to September, 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated MRA use and reported AF outcomes. Primary outcome was a composite of new-onset or recurrent AF. Safety outcomes included hyperkalemia and gynecomastia risks. A random-effects meta-analysis estimated pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS 12 RCTs, comprising 11,419 patients treated with various MRAs were included [5960 (52%) on MRA]. On follow-up (6-39 months), 714 (5.5%) patients developed AF. MRA therapy was associated with a 32% reduction in the risk of new-onset or recurrent AF [OR 0.68 (95% CI 0.51-0.92), I2 = 40%]. On subgroup analysis, the greatest benefit magnitude was demonstrated in reducing AF recurrence [OR 0.50 (95% CI 0.30-0.83)] and among patients with left ventricular dysfunction [OR 0.59 (95% CI 0.40-0.85)]. Gynecomastia, but not hyperkalemia, was associated with MRA use. Meta-regression analysis demonstrated that therapy duration was a significant interaction factor driving the effect size (Pinteraction = 0.013). CONCLUSION MRA use is associated with a reduction in AF risk, especially AF progression. A prominent effect is seen in patients with heart failure, further augmented by therapy duration. Prospective trials are warranted to evaluate MRA use as upstream therapy for preventing this common arrhythmia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ischaemia/reperfusion injuries (IRIs) are associated with poorer survival of kidney grafts from expanded criteria donors. Preclinical studies have shown that mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) prevent acute and chronic post-ischaemic renal dysfunction by limiting IRI. However, data concerning the safety of MRAs in brain-dead donor patients are scarce. We seek to investigate the tolerance of MRAs on the haemodynamics in this population. METHODS AND ANALYSIS CANREO-PMO is a randomised, controlled, single-centre, double-blind study. Brain-dead organ donors hospitalised in intensive care are randomised 1:1 after consent to receive 200 mg potassium canrenoate or its matching placebo every 6 hours until organ procurement. The primary outcome is a hierarchical composite endpoint that includes: (1) cardiocirculatory arrest, (2) the impossibility of kidney procurement, (3) the average hourly dose of norepinephrine/epinephrine between randomisation and departure to the operating room, and (4) the average hourly volume of crystalloids and/or colloids received. Thirty-six patients will be included. The secondary endpoints evaluated among the graft recipients are the: (1) vital status of the kidney graft recipients and serum creatinine level with estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) according to Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) at 3 months after renal transplantation, (2) percentage of patients dependent on dialysis and/or with an estimated GFR <20 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 3 months, (3) vital status of the kidney graft recipients at 3 months, and (4) vital status of the kidney graft recipients and creatinine levels (in μmol/L), with the estimated GFR according to CKD-EPI (in mL/min/1.73 m2), at 1 year, 3 years and 10 years after transplantation. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This trial has full ethical approval (Comité de Protection des Personnes: CPP Ouest II-ANGERS, France), and the written consent of relatives will be obtained. Results will be reported at conferences, peer-reviewed publications and using social media channels. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04714710.

Risk factors for hypokalemia and its association with postoperative recovery in patients scheduled for radical gastrectomy: a retrospective study. BMC Anesthesiol 2023; 23:285. [PMID: 37608299 PMCID: PMC10463583 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-023-02246-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypokalemia is common in patients of various operations, especially gastrointestinal surgery, which seriously affects the safety and enhanced recovery after surgery. Our study aims to explore the risk factors of preoperative hypokalemia of radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer and analyze its impact on postoperative recovery. METHODS A total of 122 patients scheduled for radical gastrectomy from September, 2022 to December, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the serum potassium level before skin incision, patients were divided into hypokalemia group (n = 64) and normokalemia group (n = 58). Factors including age, gender, BMI, ASA classification, glutamic pyruvic transaminase (ALT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (AST), creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), albumin, hypertension history, whether taking calcium channel blockers, β-receptor blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor antagonist (ARB), thiazide diuretics and other drugs, anemia history, diabetes mellitus history, inability to eat or intestinal obstruction, vomiting, diarrhea, hypokalemia on admission and whether under cooperation with clinical nurse specialist were compared between groups. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine risk factors for hypokalemia with p < 0.2 included as a cutoff. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of preoperative hypokalemia for the indicators with differences. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the efficacy of the regression model. Primary exhaust time and defecation time after surgery were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The use of ACEI or ARB [OR 0.08, 95% CI (0.01 to 0.58), p = 0.012] and thiazide diuretics [OR 8.31, 95% CI (1.31 to 52.68), p = 0.025], inability to eat for more than 3 days or intestinal obstruction [OR 17.96, 95% CI (2.16 to 149.43), p = 0.008], diarrhea for more than 48 h [OR 6.21, 95% CI (1.18 to 32.61), p = 0.031] and hypokalemia on admission [OR 8.97, 95% CI (1.05 to 77.04), p = 0.046] were independent influencing factors of hypokalemia before skin incision. Primary postoperative exhaust time and defecation time was significantly longer in the hypokalemia group than in the normokalemia group, no matter after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (p = 0.044, p = 0.045, respectively) or open radical gastrectomy (p = 0.033, p = 0.019, respectively). CONCLUSION Early attention and management of serum potassium in patients undergoing radical gastrectomy can better reduce perioperative adverse reactions and promote recovery of gastrointestinal function.

Abstract
Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) are known to improve clinical outcomes in heart failure, particularly heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. However, the effect of MRAs on the incidence of and recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is not well established. Therefore, databases, such as PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central, were searched from inception to September 2021 for randomized controlled trials of MRAs with AF as an outcome. Risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence interval (CIs) were combined using the random-effects model. A total of 10 randomized controlled trials (n = 11,356) were included. Our pooled analysis demonstrates that MRAs reduce the risk of AF occurrence by 23% compared with the control therapy (RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.65 to 0.91, p = 0.003, I2 = 40%). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that MRAs reduced the risk of both new-onset AF (RR 0.84, 95% CI 0.61 to 1.16, p = 0.28, I2 = 43%) and recurrent AF (RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.59 to 0.90, p = 0.004, I2 = 26%) similarly; p interaction = 0.48. Our meta-analysis concludes that MRAs reduce the risk of development of AF overall, with consistent effects in new-onset and recurrent AF.

Abstract
Background Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) have emerged as potential atrial fibrillation (AF) preventive therapy, but inconsistent results have been reported. We aimed to examine the effects of MRAs on AF occurrence and explore factors that could influence the magnitude of the effect size. Methods and Results PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central databases were used to search for randomized clinical trials and observational studies addressing the effect of MRAs on AF occurrence from database inception through April 03, 2018. We performed a systematic review and random effects meta‐analyses to compute odds ratios with 95% CIs. Meta‐regression was then applied to explore the sources of between‐study heterogeneity. We included 24 studies, 11 randomized clinical trials and 13 observational cohorts, representing a total number of 7914 patients (median age: 64.2 years; median left ventricular ejection fraction: 49.7%; median follow‐up: 12.0 months), 2843 (35.9%) of whom received MRA therapy. Meta‐analyses showed a significant overall reduction in AF occurrence in the MRA‐treated patients versus the control groups (15.0% versus 32.2%; odds ratio, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.44–0.70 [P<0.00001]), with the greatest benefit regarding recurrent AF episodes (odds ratio, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.31–0.59 [P<0.00001]) and with significant heterogeneity among the included studies (I2=54%; P=0.0008). Meta‐regression analyses showed that effect size was significantly associated with older studies and higher AF occurrence rate in the control groups. Conclusions MRAs seem to be effective in AF prevention, especially regarding recurrent AF episodes.

Abstract
Cerebral edema after brain injury can lead to brain damage and death if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. This study investigates the feasibility of employing electrical impedance tomography (EIT) as a non-invasive imaging tool for monitoring the development of cerebral edema, in which impedance imaging of the brain related to brain water content is compared with intracranial pressure (ICP). We enrolled forty patients with cerebral hemorrhage who underwent lateral external ventricular drain with intraventricular ICP and EIT monitoring for 3 h after initiation of dehydration treatment. The average reconstructed impedance value (ARV) calculated from EIT images was compared with ICP. Dehydration effects induced changes in ARV and ICP showed a close negative correlation in all patients, and the mean correlation reached R2 = 0.78 ± 0.16 (p < .001). A regression equation (R2 = 0.62, p < .001) was formulated from the total of measurement data. The 95% limits of agreement were - 6.13 to 6.13 mmHg. Adaptive clustering and variance analysis of normalized changes in ARV and ICP showed 92.5% similarity and no statistically significant differences (p > .05). Moreover, the sensitivity, specificity and area under the curve of changes in ICP >10 mmHg were 0.65, 0.73 and 0.70 respectively. The findings show that EIT can monitor changes in brain water content associated with cerebral edema, which could provide a real-time and non-invasive imaging tool for early identification of cerebral edema and the evaluation of mannitol dehydration.

Abstract
Background Perioperative serum potassium levels are closely associated with postoperative clinical outcomes after gastrointestinal surgery. The aim of our retrospective study was to identify the prevalence and risk factors for preoperative hypokalemia (before pneumoperitoneum) and to evaluate the influence of preoperative hypokalemia on the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function. Methods In this retrospective study, patients scheduled for laparoscopic colorectal resection from November 11 2014 to October 20 2016, were considered for inclusion. A blood potassium level between 3.5 and 5.5 mmol/L was defined as normal, with levels between 3.0 to 3.5 mmol/L, 2.5 to 3.0 mmol/L and < 2.5 mmol/L considered as slight, moderate, and severe level of hypokalemia. The factors including age, gender, ASA grade, BMI, hypertension, diabetes, anti-hypertension drugs, lactose oral soluble, oral cathartics, oral cathartics, cathartic enemas, and blood potassium level before gastrointestinal preparation which might be associated with blood potassium level before pneumoperitoneum were analysed. The time to postoperative first flatus (FFL) and first feces (FFE) was compared between patients with and without hypokalemia. Results The final analysis was based on the data of 108 patients. Hypokalemia was identified in 70.37% patients, with the following distribution of blood potassium levels before pneumoperitoneum: slight, 49 (45.37%) patients; moderate, 23 (21.30%); and severe, 4 (3.70%) patients. Hypokalemia was significantly associated with hypertension and the use of ≥2 types of oral cathartics for preoperative gastrointestinal preparation. With treatment, potassium levels recovered to normal levels in all patients within 48 h postoperatively. Hypokalemia was associated with a longer postoperative time to first feces, compared to patients with a normal potassium level before pneumoperitoneum. Conclusions Our findings underlie the importance of early monitoring and management of serum potassium levels in these patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, we present an update on the relationship between anesthesia and intraoperative hemodynamic complications, early postanesthesia recovery, postoperative pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting after craniotomy. We also review latest advances in education and research in neuroanesthesia for brain surgery. RECENT FINDINGS Insights from clinical reports published from January 2012 to April 2013 on anesthesia for craniotomy will be summarized. Recent findings address the need for a tight intraoperative hemodynamic monitoring - that should include aggressive prevention of arterial hypotension and cardiac arrhythmias - and a careful management of fluids and electrolytes balance. Data on the relationship between anesthesia (selection of anesthetics used intraoperatively) and early recovery demonstrate a limited benefit when ultra-short acting drugs (as remifentanil vs fentanyl) are used. Evidence on postoperative pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting contribute to define how to better prevent and treat these complications. Latest guidelines on training and research in neuroanesthesia define unique end points in this subspecialty. SUMMARY Neuroanesthesia for craniotomy should be aimed to ensure intraoperative loss of consciousness (unless awake craniotomy is the selected anesthesiological approach), pain control and an uneventful postoperative recovery, but should also be addressed to manipulate physiological variables including cerebral blood flow and to obtain optimal surgical exposure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are more vulnerable to develop hypokalaemia, we sought to investigate the prevalence, and the relationship between severe hypokalaemia and the mortality of traumatic brain injury patients. METHODS Isolated traumatic brain patients who had hypokalaemia (serum potassium <3.5mmol/L) and age≥14yrs were recruited into the study between January 2008 and March 2013. Hypokalaemia was defined as potassium level in the blood <3.5mmol/L during the hospitalisation, which was classified by severity: mild (3.0mmol/L≤K<3.5mmol/L), moderate (2.5mmol/L≤K<3.0mmol/L) and severe (K<2.5mmol/L). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to find the impact of hypokalaemia on mortality. RESULTS A total 375 cases were included in analysis. The peak incidence of severe hypokalaemia occurred in the first 24-96h. TBI patients with severe hypokalaemia had significantly higher serum sodium and lower serum phosphorus than those patients with mild or moderate hypokalaemia (p<0.001). Compare to other groups, the severe hypokalaemia group had the worst outcome. Moreover, the patients (n=15) who had severe hypokalaemia, hypernatraemia (Na>160mmol/L), and hypophosphataemia (P<0.3mmol/L) all died in hospital. Multiple logistic regression analysis resulted in decrease of GCS (OR=1.27; 95% CI=1.15-1.41; p<0.001) and potassium (OR=4.35; 95% CI=2.04-9.26; p<0.001) being associated with significant increased risk of mortality. CONCLUSIONS The peak incidence of severe hypokalaemia occurred in the first 24-96h. TBI patients with severe hypokalaemia are more vulnerable to develop hypophosphataemia and hypernatraemia than patients with mild and moderate hypokalaemia. Severe hypokalaemia are the independent risk factors for mortality in TBI patients.

Use of electrical impedance tomography to monitor regional cerebral edema during clinical dehydration treatment. PLoS One 2014; 9:e113202.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Variations of conductive fluid content in brain tissue (e.g. cerebral edema) change tissue impedance and can potentially be measured by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), an emerging medical imaging technique. The objective of this work is to establish the feasibility of using EIT as an imaging tool for monitoring brain fluid content. DESIGN a prospective study. SETTING In this study EIT was used, for the first time, to monitor variations in cerebral fluid content in a clinical model with patients undergoing clinical dehydration treatment. The EIT system was developed in house and its imaging sensitivity and spatial resolution were evaluated on a saline-filled tank. PATIENTS 23 patients with brain edema. INTERVENTIONS The patients were continuously imaged by EIT for two hours after initiation of dehydration treatment using 0.5 g/kg intravenous infusion of mannitol for 20 minutes. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS Overall impedance across the brain increased significantly before and after mannitol dehydration treatment (p = 0.0027). Of the all 23 patients, 14 showed high-level impedance increase and maintained this around 4 hours after the dehydration treatment whereas the other 9 also showed great impedance gain during the treatment but it gradually decreased after the treatment. Further analysis of the regions of interest in the EIT images revealed that diseased regions, identified on corresponding CT images, showed significantly less impedance changes than normal regions during the monitoring period, indicating variations in different patients' responses to such treatment. CONCLUSIONS EIT shows potential promise as an imaging tool for real-time and non-invasive monitoring of brain edema patients.

Abstract
OBJECT The authors undertook this study to evaluate the effects of continuous intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring-directed mannitol treatment on kidney function in patients with moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS One hundred sixty-eight patients with TBI were prospectively assigned to an ICP monitoring group or a conventional treatment control group based on the Brain Trauma Foundation guidelines. Clinical data included the dynamic changes of patients' blood concentrations of cystatin C, creatinine (Cr), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN); mannitol use; and 6-month Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) scores. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences with respect to hospitalized injury, age, or sex distribution between the 2 groups. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) was higher in the control group than in the ICP monitoring group (p < 0.05). The mean mannitol dosage in the ICP monitoring group (443 ± 133 g) was significantly lower than in the control group (820 ± 412 g) (p < 0.01), and the period of mannitol use in the ICP monitoring group (3 ± 3.8 days) was significantly shorter than in the control group (7 ± 2.3 days) (p < 0.01). The 6-month GOS scores in the ICP monitoring group were significantly better than in the control group (p < 0.05). On the 7th, 14th, and 21st days after injury, the plasma cystatin C and Cr concentrations in the ICP-monitoring group were significantly higher than the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In patients with moderate and severe TBI, ICP-directed mannitol treatment demonstrated a beneficial effect on reducing the incidence of AKI compared with treatment directed by neurological signs and physiological indicators.
