Kakarla J, Denham NC, Ishikita A, Oechslin E, Alonso-Gonzalez R, Nair K. Risk Stratification for Sudden Cardiac Death in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot. CJC PEDIATRIC AND CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE 2023; 2:414-425. [PMID: 38161672 PMCID: PMC10755789 DOI: 10.1016/j.cjcpc.2023.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
There has been significant progress in the prevention of sudden cardiac death in repaired tetralogy of Fallot. Contemporary cohorts report greater survival attributable to improved surgical techniques, heart failure management, and proactive strategies for risk stratification and management of ventricular arrhythmias including defibrillator implantation and ablation technology. Over the last 25 years, our understanding of predictive risk factors has also improved from invasive and more limited measures to individualized risk prediction scores based on extensive demographic, imaging, electrophysiological, and functional data. Although each of these contemporary scoring systems improves prediction, there are important differences between the study cohorts, included risk factors, and imaging modalities that can significantly affect interpretation and implementation for the individual patient. In addition, accurate phenotyping of disease complexity and anatomic repair substantially modulates this risk and the mechanism of sudden death. Routine implementation of risk stratification within repaired tetralogy of Fallot management is important and directly informs primary prevention defibrillator implantation as well as consideration for proactive invasive strategies including ventricular tachycardia ablation and pulmonary valve replacement. Assessment and risk stratification by a multidisciplinary team of experts in adult congenital heart disease are crucial and critical. Although we have increased understanding, reconciliation of these complex factors for the individual patient remains challenging and often requires careful consideration and discussion with multidisciplinary teams, patients, and their families.

Abstract
In view of the increasing complexity of both cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and patients in the current era, practice guidelines, by necessity, have become increasingly specific. This document is an expert consensus statement that has been developed to update and further delineate indications and management of CIEDs in pediatric patients, defined as ≤21 years of age, and is intended to focus primarily on the indications for CIEDs in the setting of specific disease categories. The document also highlights variations between previously published adult and pediatric CIED recommendations and provides rationale for underlying important differences. The document addresses some of the deterrents to CIED access in low- and middle-income countries and strategies to circumvent them. The document sections were divided up and drafted by the writing committee members according to their expertise. The recommendations represent the consensus opinion of the entire writing committee, graded by class of recommendation and level of evidence. Several questions addressed in this document either do not lend themselves to clinical trials or are rare disease entities, and in these instances recommendations are based on consensus expert opinion. Furthermore, specific recommendations, even when supported by substantial data, do not replace the need for clinical judgment and patient-specific decision-making. The recommendations were opened for public comment to Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society (PACES) members and underwent external review by the scientific and clinical document committee of the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), the science advisory and coordinating committee of the American Heart Association (AHA), the American College of Cardiology (ACC), and the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology (AEPC). The document received endorsement by all the collaborators and the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS), the Indian Heart Rhythm Society (IHRS), and the Latin American Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS). This document is expected to provide support for clinicians and patients to allow for appropriate CIED use, appropriate CIED management, and appropriate CIED follow-up in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Patients with childhood heart disease are living longer and entering adulthood, and may undergo implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation to reduce the risk of sudden death. We evaluated the characteristics of adult patients with congenital heart disease or left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) in the National Cardiovascular Disease Registry ICD Registry and determined ICD-related in-hospital complications. Patients with LVNC or transposition of the great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot, Ebstein's anomaly, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, or common ventricle were identified in the registry. In-hospital complications were compared among different diagnoses using the chi-square test for categorical variables and the F-test in analyses of variance for continuous variables. A total of 3,077 patients were identified. The mean age was 48.0 ± 16.0 years, and 39.9% were female. Single-chamber ICDs were implanted in 25.2%, dual chamber in 41.9%, and cardiac resynchronization in 30.8%. Intraprocedural or postprocedural complications occurred in 70 patients (2.3%); there were 6 in-hospital deaths (0.2%). The most frequent complications were acute lead dislodgments, pneumothorax, and hematomas. Patients with Ebstein's anomaly had the greatest complication rate (8.3%, p = 0.03). The complication rate was 1.55% in single-chamber devices, 1.86% in dual chamber, and 3.5% in cardiac resynchronization (p < 0.001). For initial implants, the complication rate was 2.55%, 1.62% in generator replacements, and 8.77% in lead revisions (p = 0.001). In conclusion, in this large contemporary adult cohort of congenital heart disease and LVNC patients who underwent ICD implant procedures, periprocedural complication rates were low. Lead-related risks predominated.

Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot is a frequent congenital heart disease that has been repaired since the mid-1950s. The follow-up after repair is good despite a persistent risk of sudden death. The risk factors in long-term follow-up are advanced age at repair, hemodynamic status of the right ventricle, QRS duration≥180ms, left ventricular dysfunction, and existence of sustained or not ventricular tachycardia. In the presence of significant pulmonary regurgitation, it is necessary to perform revalvulation either by classic surgery or cardiac catheterization. To correct the risk of ventricular arrhythmia, some have proposed radiofrequency ablation of critical isthmus, or cryo-application during surgery. However, the use of implantable cardioverter defibrillator is another therapeutic option that is more and more employed as secondary or primary prevention in patients at risk of sudden death.

Abstract
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) have an important role in reducing sudden cardiac death in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD); however, the benefit of ICDs needs to be weighed up against both short-term and long-term adverse effects, which are difficult to evaluate in the heterogeneous CHD population. A tailored approach, taking into account risk stratification and patient-specific factors, is needed to select the most appropriate strategy. This review discusses primary and secondary ICD indications, implantation approaches and long-term follow-up. Recent publications have shed light on the concerns of system longevity, lead extractions, inappropriate shocks and impact on the quality of life. All of these factors require consideration prior to commitment to this long-term treatment strategy.

Abstract
Transposition of the great arteries encompasses a set of structural congenital cardiac lesions that has in common ventriculoarterial discordance. Primarily because of advances in medical and surgical care, an increasing number of children born with this anomaly are surviving into adulthood. Depending upon the subtype of lesion or the particular corrective surgery that the patient might have undergone, this group of adult congenital heart disease patients constitutes a relatively new population with unique medical sequelae. Among the more common and difficult to manage are cardiac arrhythmias and other sequelae that can lead to sudden cardiac death. To date, the question of whether implantable cardioverter-defibrillators should be placed in this cohort as a preventive measure to abort sudden death has largely gone unanswered. Therefore, we review the available literature surrounding this issue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The experience with the implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and history of atrial switch surgery remains limited. METHODS Retrospective evaluation aiming to assess characteristics and outcomes of consecutive TGA patients with history of atrial switch surgery implanted with an ICD between January 2005 and June 2012 in four French centers. RESULTS Of the 12 patients (median 34 years [28, 40]; 67% male), 4 patients (33%) were implanted for secondary prevention after symptomatic documented sustained ventricular tachycardia or sudden cardiac arrest. ICDs were implanted for primary prevention in 8 patients (67%), including cardiac resynchronization in 3 patients; severe systemic ventricle dysfunction was present in all cases (median ejection fraction 27% [20, 40]). Overall, one patient died during the ICD implantation secondary to refractory cardiac arrest after defibrillation testing. Over a median follow-up of 19 months [10, 106], 6 patients out of 11 (54%) experienced worsening of congestive heart failure, including 5 who were eventually transplanted. Overall, 3 patients (27%) experienced significant ICD-related complications, whereas only one patient (primary prevention indication) developed appropriate ICD therapy (successful anti-tachycardia pacing without shock). Half of the patients presented with at least one episode of sustained (≥ 5 min) atrial arrhythmia during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Our findings underline the key role of progressive heart failure in dictating outcomes among TGA patients with prior atrial switch repair. Our results also underline the need of better risk-stratification for sudden cardiac death in those patients.

Abstract
Background Among adults with congenital heart diseases (CHD) evaluation of sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk remains a great challenge. Although microvolt T-wave alternans has been incorporated into SCD risk stratification algorithm, its role in adults with CHD still requires investigation. We sought to determine the incidence of MTWA in this specific group and its coincidence with ventricular arrhythmia (VA) and other clinical findings presumably associated with SCD. Methods A case–control study was performed in which 102 patients with CHD characterized by right ventricle pathology or single ventricle physiology (TGA, UVH, Ebstein’s anomaly, ccTGA, Eisenmenger syndrome, DORV, CAT, unoperated ToF) were compared to 45 age- and sex-matched controls. All subjects underwent spectral MTWA test, ambulatory ecg monitoring, cardiopulmonary test, BNP assessment. After excluding technically inadequate traces, the remaining MTWA results were classified as positive(+), negative(−) and indeterminate(ind). Due to similar prognostic significance MTWA(+) and (ind) were combined into a common group labeled ‘abnormal’. Results Abnormal MTWA was present more often in the study group, compared to controls (39.2% vs 2.3%, p = 0.00001). Sustained ventricular tachycardia (sVT) was observed more often among subjects with abnormal MTWA compared to MTWA(−): 19.4% vs 3.6%, p = 0.026. The patients with abnormal MTWA had a lower blood saturation (p = 0.047), more often were males (p = 0.031), had higher NYHA class (p = 0.04), worse cardiopulmonary parameters: %PeakVO2 (p = 0.034), %HRmax (p = 0.003). Factors proven to increase probability of abnormal MTWA on multivariate linear regression analysis were: sVT (OR = 20.7, p = 0.037) and male gender (OR = 15.9, p = 0.001); on univariate analysis: male gender (OR = 2.7, p = 0.021), presence of VA (OR = 2.6, p = 0.049), NYHA > I (OR = 2.06, p = 0.033), %HRmax (OR = 0.94, p = 0.005), %PeakVO2 (OR = 0.97, p = 0.042), VE/VCO2slope (OR = 1.05, p = 0.037). Conclusions Abnormal MTWA occurs significantly more often in adults with the chosen forms of CHD than among healthy subjects. The probability of abnormal MTWA increases in patients with malignant VA, in males and among subjects with heart failure and cyanosis. MTWA might be of potential role in risk stratification for SCD in adults with CHD.

Abstract
The population of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) now exceeds that of children with congenital heart disease. Within this relatively young population of adults in their third decade of life exist a population of patients with heart failure (HF) who, in functional status, closely resemble patients in their fifth and sixth decades of life with HF caused by coronary artery disease and myocardial ischemia. The ACHD patients currently at greatest risk for HF are those with single-ventricle physiology, those with a 2-ventricle circulation with the right ventricle as the systemic ventricle, and those with repaired tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary valve insufficiency. This article will review the demographics, diagnosis, functional capacity, and treatment of HF in the ACHD population.

Abstract
Many adult survivors of repaired congenital heart disease (CHD) are at premature risk of death. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is 1 of the leading causes of death but little is known about determinants for SCA in adults with repaired lesions. We sought to determine incidence and risk factors for SCA in a study population of 936 adults with previously repaired CHD who had completed follow-up at a single tertiary center during a mean period of 9 ± 7 years. Mean age at first examination in our institution was 21 ± 7 years. Diagnostic categories included tetralogy of Fallot (216), coarctation of the aorta (157), transposition complexes (99), single ventricle (55), and other CHD (409). During a total follow-up of 8,387 person-years, 22 patients (2.6 per 1,000 person-years) presented with SCA. Incidence of SCA varied widely between specific lesions; the highest incidence was observed in transposition complexes (10 per 1,000 person-years). Independent predictors of SCA were retrospectively identified using multivariate Cox proportional hazard modeling. Age at initial examination and severely impaired subaortic ventricular systolic function were independent risk factors for SCA (severe subaortic ventricular systolic dysfunction, adjusted hazard ratio 29, 95% confidence interval 11 to 72, p <0.001). SCA occurred in 23% of patients with severe subaortic ventricular systolic dysfunction versus 0.7% of patients with nonsevere decreased subaortic ventricular function (p <0.001). In conclusion, severe subaortic ventricular systolic dysfunction is a dominant multivariate predictor of SCA in an unselected population of adult survivors after surgery for CHD. Our data support the consideration of primary prevention strategies in these patients.
