Abstract
OBJECTIVES The first aim of this study was to assess the predictive power of Tend interval (Te) and non-invasive hemodynamic markers, based on bioimpedance in decompensated chronic heart failure (CHF). The second one was to verify the possible differences in repolarization and hemodynamic data between CHF patients grouped by level of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Finally, we wanted to check if repolarization and hemodynamic data changed with clinical improvement or worsening in CHF patients. METHODS Two hundred and forty-three decompensated CHF patients were studied by 5 min ECG recordings to determine the mean and standard deviation (TeSD) of Te (first study). In a subgroup of 129 patients (second study), non-invasive hemodynamic and repolarization data were recorded for further evaluation. RESULTS Total in-hospital and cardiovascular mortality rates were respectively 19 and 9%. Te was higher in the deceased than in surviving subjects (Te: 120 ± 28 vs. 100 ± 25 ms) and multivariable logistic regression analysis reported that Te was related to an increase of total (χ2: 35.45, odds ratio: 1.03, 95% confidence limit: 1.02-1.05, p < 0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (χ2: 32.58, odds ratio: 1.04, 95% confidence limit: 1.02-1.06, p < 0.001). Subjects with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) reported higher levels of repolarization and lower non-invasive systolic hemodynamic data in comparison to those with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). In the subgroup, patients with the NT-proBNP reduction after therapy showed a lower rate of Te, heart rate, blood pressures, contractility index, and left ventricular ejection time in comparison with the patients without NT-proBNP reduction. CONCLUSION Electrical signals from ECG and bioimpedance were capable of monitoring the patients with advanced decompensated CHF. These simple, inexpensive, non-invasive, easily repeatable, and transmissible markers could represent a tool to remotely monitor and to intercept the possible worsening of these patients early by machine learning and artificial intelligence tools.
