The Impact of Chronic Oral Beta-Blocker Intake on Intravenous Bolus Landiolol Response in Hospitalized Intensive Care Patients with Sudden-Onset Supraventricular Tachycardia-A Post Hoc Analysis of a Cross-Sectional Trial. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:839. [PMID: 38931959 PMCID: PMC11207374 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics16060839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Landiolol, a highly cardioselective agent with a short half-life (2.4-4 min), is commonly used as a perfusor or bolus application to treat tachycardic arrhythmia. Some small studies suggest that prior oral β-blocker use results in a less effective response to intravenous β-blockers. Methods: This study investigated whether prior chronic oral β-blocker (Lβ) or no prior chronic oral β-blocker (L-) intake influences the response to intravenous push-dose Landiolol in intensive care patients with acute tachycardic arrhythmia. Results: The effects in 30 patients (67 [55-72] years) were analyzed, 10 (33.3%) with and 20 (66.7%) without prior oral β-blocker therapy. Arrhythmias were diagnosed as tachycardic atrial fibrillation in 14 patients and regular, non-fluid-dependent, supraventricular tachycardia in 16 cases. Successful heart rate control (Lβ 4 vs. L- 7, p = 1.00) and rhythm control (Lβ 3 vs. L- 6, p = 1.00) did not significantly differ between the two groups. Both groups showed a significant decrease in heart rate when comparing before and after the bolus administration, without significant differences between the two groups (Lβ -26/min vs. L- -33/min, p = 0.528). Oral β-blocker therapy also did not influence the change in mean arterial blood pressure after Landiolol bolus administration (Lβ -5 mmHg vs. L- -4 mmHg, p = 0.761). Conclusions: A prior chronic intake of β-blockers neither affected the effectiveness of push-dose Landiolol in heart rate or rhythm control nor impacted the difference in heart rate or mean arterial blood pressure before and after the Landiolol boli.

Abstract
In critically ill patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the relationship between the early administration of β-blockers and the risks of in-hospital and long-term mortality remains controversial. Furthermore, there are conflicting evidences for the efficacy of the early administration of intravenous followed by oral β-blockers in AMI. We conducted a retrospective analysis of critically ill patients with AMI who received the early administration of β-blockers within 24 hours of admission. The data were extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. We enrolled 2467 critically ill patients with AMI in the study, with 1355 patients who received the early administration of β-blockers and 1112 patients who were non-users. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards models showed that the early administration of β-blockers was associated with a lower risk of in-hospital mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 0.52; 95% confidence interval [95%CI] 0.42-0.64), 1-year mortality (aHR 0.54, 95%CI 0.47-0.63), and 5-year mortality (aHR 0.60, 95%CI 0.52-0.69). Furthermore, the early administration of both oral β-blockers and intravenous β-blockers followed by oral β-blockers may reduce the mortality risk, compared with non-users. The risks of in-hospital and long-term mortality were significantly decreased in patients who underwent revascularization with the early administration of β-blockers. We found that the early administration of β-blockers could lower the risks of in-hospital and long-term mortality. Furthermore, the early administration of both oral β-blockers and intravenous β-blockers followed by oral β-blockers may reduce the mortality risk, compared with non-users. Notably, patients who underwent revascularization with the early administration of β-blockers showed the lowest risks of in-hospital and long-term mortality.

[PMID: 37794366 PMCID: PMC10552407 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03535-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Electrocardiographic markers, as surrogates for sympathetic excitotoxicity, are widely predictive of cardiovascular adverse events, but whether these markers can predict postsurgical sepsis (SS) is unclear. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent abdominal surgery from March 2013 to May 2023. We collected basic data, comorbidities, blood samples, echocardiology, electrocardiogram, and surgical data, as well as short-term outcome. The primary endpoints were postsurgical SS, in which logistic regression analyses can identify independent risk factors. The optimal cut-off value predictive postsurgical SS both P wave and PR interval were calculated in the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). RESULTS A total of 1988 subjects were analyzed, and the incidence of postsurgical SS was 3.8%. The mean age at enrollment was 68.6 ± 7.1 years, and 53.2% of the participants were men. In the ROC analysis, the areas under the curve (AUC) for P wave and PR interval predictive postsurgical SS were 0.615 (95%CI, 0.548-0.683; p = 0.001) and 0.618 (95%CI, 0.554-0.682; p = 0.001), respectively. The P wave and PR interval predicted postoperative sepsis with optimal discrimination of 103 and 157 ms, with a sensitivity of 0.744 and 0.419, and a specificity of 0.427 and 0.760. P-wave less than 103 ms or PR interval less than 157 ms associated with a 2.06 or 2.33 fold increase occurred risk postsurgical SS. CONCLUSIONS Shorter P-wave and PR intervals were both independently associated with postsurgical SS. These preoperative electrophysiological markers could have potential useful for early recognition of postoperative SS.

Abstract
Cardiac arrest affects millions of people per year worldwide. Although advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and intensive care have improved outcomes over time, neurologic impairment and multiple organ dysfunction continue to be associated with a high mortality rate. The pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the post-resuscitation disease are complex, and a coordinated, evidence-based approach to post-resuscitation care has significant potential to improve survival. Critical care management of patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest focuses on the identification and treatment of the underlying cause(s), hemodynamic and respiratory support, organ protection, and active temperature control. This review provides a state-of-the-art appraisal of critical care management of the post-cardiac arrest patient.

Abstract
Background The objective of this study was to investigate cardiac abnormalities in intensive care unit (ICU) survivors of critical illness and to determine whether temporary acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with more pronounced findings on cardiovascular magnetic resonance. Methods and Results There were 2175 patients treated in the ICU (from 2015 until 2021) due to critical illness who were screened for study eligibility. Post-ICU patients without known cardiac disease were prospectively recruited from March 2021 to May 2022. Participants underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance including assessment of cardiac function, myocardial edema, late gadolinium enhancement, and mapping including extracellular volume fraction. Student t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 tests were used. There were 48 ICU survivors (46±15 years of age, 28 men, 29 with AKI and continuous kidney replacement therapy, and 19 without AKI) and 20 healthy controls who were included. ICU survivors had elevated markers of myocardial fibrosis (T1: 995±31 ms versus 957±21 ms, P<0.001; extracellular volume fraction: 24.9±2.5% versus 22.8±1.2%, P<0.001; late gadolinium enhancement: 1% [0%-3%] versus 0% [0%-0%], P<0.001), more frequent focal late gadolinium enhancement lesions (21% versus 0%, P=0.03), and an impaired left ventricular function (eg, ejection fraction: 57±6% versus 60±5%, P=0.03; systolic longitudinal strain: 20.3±3.7% versus 23.1±3.5%, P=0.004) compared with healthy controls. ICU survivors with AKI had higher myocardial T1 (1002±33 ms versus 983±21 ms; P=0.046) and extracellular volume fraction values (25.6±2.6% versus 23.9±1.9%; P=0.02) compared with participants without AKI. Conclusions ICU survivors of critical illness without previously diagnosed cardiac disease had distinct abnormalities on cardiovascular magnetic resonance including signs of myocardial fibrosis and systolic dysfunction. Findings were more abnormal in participants who experienced AKI with necessity of continuous kidney replacement therapy during their ICU stay.

Abstract
Owing to the development of intensive care units, many patients survive their initial insults but progress to chronic critical illness (CCI). Patients with CCI are characterized by prolonged hospitalization, poor outcomes, and significant long-term mortality. Some of these patients get into a state of persistent low-grade inflammation, suppressed immunity, and ongoing catabolism, which was defined as persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome (PICS) in 2012. Over the past few years, some progress has been made in the treatment of PICS. However, most of the existing studies are about the role of persistent inflammation and suppressed immunity in PICS. As one of the hallmarks of PICS, hypercatabolism has received little research attention. In this review, we explore the potential pathophysiological changes and molecular mechanisms of hypercatabolism and its role in PICS. In addition, we summarize current therapies for improving the hypercatabolic status and recommendations for patients with PICS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In septic shock cases, tachycardia and a hyperdynamic hemodynamic profile are characteristics of the condition. It has been reported that using beta antagonist esmolol constitutes a form of treatment to reduce heart rate to improve diastolic filling time and elevate cardiac output, which reduces vasopressor support. Still, there are controversial results. Therefore, in this study, the primary objective is to perform a meta-analysis by systematically evaluating the efficiency and security of using esmolol to treat septic shocks. METHODS A systematic literature search for relevant randomized controlled trials that report evaluations on the efficiency and safety of using esmolol to treat septic shock patients from their inception to February 2022 will be conducted in three databases containing publications in Chinese language (WanFang, Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and four databases containing English language publications (Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE). The screening of the relevant studies will be performed by a pair of authors independently, and the screening involves examining the title, abstract and full-text stages, data extraction, and bias risk assessment. The results are summarized through the fixed-effects and random-effects models, the respective models will be utilized for data pooling according to the heterogeneity of studies that will be included. Moreover, publication bias is assessed if more than ten studies are considered. RESULTS The results are a high-quality synthesis of the most recent evidence for esmolol usage in septic shock treatment. CONCLUSION Up-to-date evidence will be provided through the results of this systematic review related to assessing the efficacy and safeness of esmolol usage in treating septic shock.

Metabolic Response in Endothelial Cells to Catecholamine Stimulation Associated with Increased Vascular Permeability. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23063162.

Abstract
Disruption to endothelial cell homeostasis results in an extensive variety of human pathologies that are particularly relevant to major trauma. Circulating catecholamines, such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, activate endothelial adrenergic receptors triggering a potent response in endothelial function. The regulation of the endothelial cell metabolism is distinct and profoundly important to endothelium homeostasis. However, a precise catalogue of the metabolic alterations caused by sustained high catecholamine levels that results in endothelial dysfunction is still underexplored. Here, we uncover a set of up to 46 metabolites that exhibit a dose–response relationship to adrenaline-noradrenaline equimolar treatment. The identified metabolites align with the glutathione-ascorbate cycle and the nitric oxide biosynthesis pathway. Certain key metabolites, such as arginine and reduced glutathione, displayed a differential response to treatment in early (4 h) compared to late (24 h) stages of sustained stimulation, indicative of homeostatic metabolic feedback loops. Furthermore, we quantified an increase in the glucose consumption and aerobic respiration in endothelial cells upon catecholamine stimulation. Our results indicate that oxidative stress and nitric oxide metabolic pathways are downstream consequences of endothelial cell stimulation with sustained high levels of catecholamines. A precise understanding of the metabolic response in endothelial cells to pathological levels of catecholamines will facilitate the identification of more efficient clinical interventions in trauma patients.
