[PMID: 35132667 PMCID: PMC8860482 DOI: 10.1002/clc.23786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Revised: 01/13/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate risk stratification is the most important step in the management of patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Pulmonary embolism severity index (PESI) is a clinical tool for PTE risk stratification. CHA2 DS2 -VASc score, a risk assessment tool in patients with atrial fibrillation, is recently considered for acute PTE. The presence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in imaging is more efficient in acute PTE risk evaluation. HYPOTHESIS This study aims to evaluate the association between CHA2 DS2 -VASc and PESI score and each of them with RV dysfunction on computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA). METHODS One hundred eighteen patients with a definite diagnosis of PTE were entered. The CHA2 DS2 -VASc and PESI scores were calculated for all of them. RV dysfunction including an increase in RV to left ventricular diameter ratio, interventricular septal bowing, and reflux of contrast medium into the inferior vena cava was examined by CTPA. RESULTS PESI and CHA2 DS2 -VASc scores were significantly associated with RV dysfunction. In addition, different classes of PESI scores were correlated with RV dysfunction. Moreover, this study showed that the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score and PESI score had a positive correlation. The area under the curve value for the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score was 0.625 with 61.54% sensitivity and 60.0% specificity for predicting RV dysfunction while for PESI score was 0.635 with 66.7% sensitivity and 60.0% specificity. CONCLUSION This study showed that not only CHA2 DS2 -VASc and PESI scores are positively correlated, but they are both associated with RV dysfunction diagnosed by CTPA. CHA2 DS2 -VASc and PESI scores are able to predict RV dysfunction.

Assessment of the CHA 2DS 2-VASc Score for the Prediction of Death in Elderly Patients With Coronary Artery Disease and Atrial Fibrillation. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 8:805234. [PMID: 35004915 PMCID: PMC8739899 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.805234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: Coronary artery disease (CAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF) often coexist and lead to a much higher risk of mortality in the elderly population. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the CHA2DS2-VASc score could predict the risk of death in elderly patients with CAD and AF. Methods: Hospitalized patients aged ≥65 years with a diagnosis of CAD and AF were recruited consecutively. Patients were divided into 5 groups according to the CHA2DS2-VASc score (≤2, =3, =4, =5, and ≥6). At least a 1-year follow-up was carried out for the assessment of all-cause death. Results: A total of 1,579 eligible patients were recruited, with 582 all-cause deaths (6.86 per 100 patient-years) occurring during a follow-up of at least 1 year. With the increase in the CHA2DS2-VASc score, the 1-year and 5-year survival rate decreased (96.4% vs. 95.7% vs. 94.0% vs. 86.5% vs. 85.7%, respectively, P < 0.001; 78.4% vs. 68.9% vs. 64.6% vs. 55.5% vs. 50.0%, respectively, P < 0.001). Compared with the patients with CHA2DS2-VASc score <5, for patients with CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥5, the adjusted hazard ratio for death was 1.78 (95% CI: 1.45–2.18, P < 0.001). The predictive values of the CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥5 for in-hospital (C-index = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.62–0.69, P < 0.001), 1-year (C-index = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.63–0.67, P < 0.001) and 5-year (C-index = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.59–0.61, P < 0.001) death were in comparable. Conclusion: In elderly patients with concomitant CAD and AF, the CHA2DS2-VASc score can be used to predict death with moderate accuracy.

Abstract
The CHA2DS2-VASc score predicts stroke and mortality risk in several cardiovascular diseases regardless of atrial fibrillation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the ability of CHA2DS2-VASc score to predict in-hospital and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS). The study population included 558 patients undergoing CAS. The patients were stratified into three groups based on their CHA2DS2-VASc scores [low (≤ 2, n = 123), moderate (3-5, n = 355) and high (6-8, n = 80)]. In-hospital and 3-year outcomes were compared between the groups. In-hospital rates of ipsilateral and major strokes and death were significantly different between the groups (1.6% vs. 3.9% vs. 16.2%; 1.6% vs. 4.5% vs. 16.2%; 0.8% vs. 3.1% vs. 13.8%, p < 0.001 for all, respectively). At 3 years of follow-up, rates of ipsilateral and major strokes and death were significantly increased in patients with highscore compared to those with moderate and low scores (1.6% vs. 5.8% vs. 13%, p = 0.005; 0.8% vs. 5.2% vs. 13%, p = 0.001; 1.6% vs. 8.4% vs. 15.9%; p = 0.002, respectively). After adjusting for multi-model Cox regression analysis, CHA2DS2-VASc score persisted as an independent prognostic factor for mortality and major stroke in patients undergoing CAS. Higher CHA2DS2-VASc score predicted increased risk of in-hospital and 3- year stroke and mortality in patients undergoing CAS.

Abstract
Aims Comorbidities are highly prevalent in patients with heart failure (HF) and affect clinical outcome. The CHA2DS2‐VASc score is a validated score to estimate assessment of thromboembolic risk in patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods and results We evaluated the predictive value of this score on clinical outcome in patients with HF. All patients with a diagnosis of chronic HF at a health maintenance organization were evaluated for the CHA2DS2‐VASc score. Patients were followed for cardiac related hospitalizations and death. The cohort included 7106 HF patients. Mean follow‐up was 744 days; the median CHA2DS2‐VASc score was 5.0 (range 4.0–6.0). The CHA2DS2‐VASc score was a significant predictor of survival and predictive of the combined end point of death and cardiovascular hospitalization. Survival rates were reduced with increasing quintiles of the CHA2DS2‐VASc score: 93.6 ± 0.7% vs. 83.0 ± 1.1% vs. 75.7 ± 1.0% vs. 73.0 ± 1.2% vs. 63.3 ± 1.2%, respectively P < 0.001. After adjustment for other significant predictors, increasing CHA2DS2‐VASc scores were independently predictive of survival and of the combined end point of death and cardiovascular hospitalization by Cox regression analysis. Analysing the CHA2DS2‐VASc score as a continuous parameter by cox regression analysis demonstrated a significant increase with each point increase in the CHA2DS2‐VASc score (hazard ratio 1.21, 95% confidence interval 1.17–1.26, P < 0.0001). Cox regression analysis using restricted cubic splines demonstrated an independent continuous increase in mortality with increasing CHA2DS2‐VASc score (P < 0.0001 adjusted linear model). The predictive value was present in HF with reduced as well as preserved ejection fraction. Conclusions The CHA2DS2‐VASc score has a significant impact on outcome in HF patients.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2020; 20:346.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The no-reflow phenomenon (NRP) is a serious complication of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and is an independent predictor of poor prognosis. We aimed to find a simple but effective risk stratification method for the prediction of NRP. METHODS This retrospective single-center study included 454 consecutive patients diagnosed with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and treated by PPCI, who were admitted to our emergency department between January 2017 and March 2019. The patients were divided according to the post-PPCI thrombolysis in the myocardial infarction flow rate: the NRP group and the control group. The CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF scores were calculated for all the patients in this study, and multivariable regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were conducted to determine the independent predictors of NRP and the predictive value of the three scores. RESULTS A total of 454 patients were analyzed in this study: 80 in the no-reflow group and 374 in the control group. The incidence of NRP was 17.6%. Creatine kinase-myocardial band, Killip class, stent length, and multivessel disease also independently predicted NRP. The CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF score had a higher predictive value than the other two scores, and a CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF score of ≥4 predicted NRP with a sensitivity of 72.5% and specificity of 66.5% (area under the curve: 0.755, 95% confidence interval [0.702-0.808]). CONCLUSION Although the CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF scores can all be used as simple tools to predict NRP, our findings show that the CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF score had the highest predictive value. Thus, the CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF score may be an optimal tool for predicting high-risk patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Prior studies demonstrated that plasma osmolality may have a predictive value for in-hospital mortality in patients with heart failure and acute coronary syndrome. In addition, plasma glucose and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels, the components of plasma osmolality, have been shown to be an important contributor for in-hospital mortality in acute pulmonary embolism (APE) patients. Hence, the objective of the current study is to evaluate the effect of plasma osmolality upon admission with in-hospital mortality in patients with APE. METHODS A total of 245 consecutive intermediate or high risk APE patients were enrolled into the study. The study population was divided into three tertile groups (T1, T2 and T3) based on the increased plasma osmolality. The in-hospital mortality was the primary end-point. RESULTS After adjusting for all risk factors, in-hospital mortality was significantly higher in the T3 group compared to T1 and T2 groups (OR: 3.6, 95% CI: 1.3 to 18.8, P < .001). In addition, the incidence of asystolia, hypotension and cardiogenic shock were significantly higher in the T3 group. An area under the receiver operating characteristic curve value of plasma osmolality for the in-hospital mortality was 0.76 with sensitivity 67.2% and specificity 74.1% 95% CI: (0.66-0.87, P < .001). CONCLUSION This is the first study to demonstrate that elevated levels of plasma osmolality may have a predictive value for in-hospital mortality in APE patients. Our findings are novel and deserve further studies whether the treatment of higher plasma osmolality may reduce the risk of in-hospital mortality in APE patients.
