Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and obesity) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose control, and metabolic syndrome) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The AHA Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, brain health, complications of pregnancy, kidney disease, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, sudden cardiac arrest, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, valvular disease, venous thromboembolism, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing. The 2024 AHA Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort in 2023 by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and AHA staff members. The AHA strives to further understand and help heal health problems inflicted by structural racism, a public health crisis that can significantly damage physical and mental health and perpetuate disparities in access to health care, education, income, housing, and several other factors vital to healthy lives. This year's edition includes additional global data, as well as data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, with an enhanced focus on health equity across several key domains. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Alcohol septal ablation versus surgical septal myectomy of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2023; 63:7035942. [PMID: 36782361 DOI: 10.1093/ejcts/ezad043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To elucidate the optimal septal reduction therapy for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, we conducted a meta-analysis comparing alcohol septal ablation (ASA) and septal myectomy. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched to identify studies investigating the outcomes of ASA and septal myectomy in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in January 2023. The primary outcome of interest was all-cause mortality in studies with ≥1 year of follow-up. The secondary outcomes of interest comprised left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) pressure gradient reduction and reoperations of LVOT. A subgroup analysis of all-cause mortality including studies with follow-up ≥5 years was performed. RESULTS 27 observational studies were included (15 968 patients). Analysis demonstrated similar all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval) (CI) 1.24 (0.88-1.76); P = 0.21; I2 = 56%]. In contrast, ASA was associated with less reduction of LVOT pressure gradient and a reoperation rate [weighted mean difference (95% CI) 11.04 mmHg (5.60-16.48); P < 0.01; I2 = 64%, HR (95% CI) 9.14 (6.55-12.75); P < 0.001; I2 = 0%, respectively]. The subgroup analysis with follow-up ≥5 years revealed higher long-term mortality with ASA [HR (95% CI) 1.50 (1.04-2.15); P = 0.03; I2 = 52%]. CONCLUSIONS Although both septal reduction therapies were associated with similar all-cause mortality, ASA was associated with a higher rate of reoperation and less reduction of LVOT pressure gradient. Furthermore, all-cause mortality with follow-up ≥5 years showed favourable outcomes with septal myectomy, although the result is only hypothesis-generating given a subgroup analysis.

An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Septal Reduction Therapy for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:900469. [PMID: 35694661 PMCID: PMC9178179 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.900469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and effectiveness of alcohol septal ablation (ASA) and septal myectomy (SM) for the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.MethodsWe searched the PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CBM databases for observational research articles related to ASA and SM published from the establishment of the databases to November 2021. All ultimate selected articles were highly related to our target. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate the literature quality. A fixed or random effect model was performed in the meta-analysis depending on the heterogeneity of the included studies. The Mantel-Haenszelt test with relative risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to measure the effect indicator of binary data, while the inverse variance method with weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% CI was used to measure the effect indicator of continuous data.ResultsA totally of 3,647 cases (1,555 cases treated with ASA and 2,092 cases treated with SM) were included. The results of the systematic review indicated no statistically significant difference in postoperative all-cause mortality (RR = 0.82; 95% CI: 0.65–1.04; P = 0.10) between patients treated with ASA and SM, but both the reduction in the postoperative left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient (WMD = 9.35 mmHg, 95% CI: 5.38–13.31, P < 0.00001) and the post-operative improvement on cardiac function, assessed by the grade of New York Heart Association (NYHA), compared to pre-operative measurements (WMD = 0.13; 95% CI: 0.00–0.26; P < 0.04) in the ASA group were slightly inferior to those in the SM group. In addition, both the risk of pacemaker implantation (RR = 2.83, 95% CI: 2.06–3.88; P < 0.00001) and the risk of reoperation (RR = 11.23, 95% CI: 6.21–20.31; P < 0.00001) are recorded at a higher level after ASA procedure.ConclusionBoth ASA and SM have a high degree of safety, but the reduction in the postoperative left ventricular outflow tract pressure gradient and the improvement on cardiac function are slightly inferior to SM. In addition, both the risk of pacemaker implantation and the risk of reoperation are recorded at a higher level after ASA procedure. The operative plan should be chosen through multidisciplinary discussions in combination with the wishes of the patients and the actual clinical situation.

Alcohol Septal Ablation versus Septal Myectomy Treatment of Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9103062. [PMID: 32977442 PMCID: PMC7598206 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9103062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2020] [Revised: 09/15/2020] [Accepted: 09/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Surgical myectomy (SM) and alcohol septal ablation (ASA) are two invasive therapies for symptomatic patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), despite medical therapy. This meta-analysis aims to compare the efficacy of the two procedures. We searched all electronic databases until February 2020 for clinical trials and cohorts comparing clinical outcomes of ASA and SM treatment of patients with HOCM. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, cardiovascular (CV) mortality, sudden cardiac death (SCD), re-intervention, and complications. Secondary endpoints included relief of clinical symptoms and drop of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradient. Twenty studies (4547 patients; 2 CTs and 18 cohorts) comparing ASA vs. SM with a mean follow-up of 47 ± 28.7 months were included. Long term (8.72 vs. 7.84%, p = 0.42) and short term (1.12 vs. 1.27%, p = 0.93) all-cause mortality, CV mortality (2.48 vs. 3.66%, p = 0.26), SCD (1.78 vs. 0.76%, p = 0.20) and stroke (0.36 vs. 1.01%, p = 0.64) were not different between procedures. ASA was associated with lower peri-procedural complications (5.57 vs. 10.5%, p = 0.04) but higher rate of re-interventions (10.1 vs. 0.27%; p < 0.001) and pacemaker dependency (12.4 vs. 4.31%, p = 0.0004) compared to SM. ASA resulted in less reduction in LVOT gradient (-47.8 vs. -58.4 mmHg, p = 0.01) and less improvement of clinical symptoms compared to SM (New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III/IV, 82.4 vs. 94.5%, p < 0.001, angina 53.2 vs. 84.2%, p = 0.02). Thus, ASA and SM treatment of HOCM carry a similar risk of mortality. Peri-procedural complications are less in alcohol ablation but re-intervention and pacemaker implantations are more common. These results might impact the procedure choice in individual patients, for the best clinical outcome.
