Xin JF, Zhang LY, Liu XF, Huang LL, Fang QJ, Lin LJ. A retrospective study on the clinical significance of cardiac computed tomography in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction. ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2022; 10:1319. [PMID: 36660728 PMCID: PMC9843394 DOI: 10.21037/atm-22-5549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Background This study investigated the correlation between cardiac function parameters by cardiac computed tomography (CT) and the clinical outcomes of heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) to provide experimental data for the diagnosis of HFpEF. Methods A total of 157 HFpEF patients admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into event and non-event groups according to the occurrence or absence of adverse events. Cardiac function parameters, such as the left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI), were obtained via CT scan. Also, the N-terminal-pro hormone b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in patients' serum were measured using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit, and echocardiographic parameters such as LV posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) were also recorded. Further, Cox regression was employed to analyze factors associated with the clinical outcomes. Results Compared with patients in the non-event group, the left ventricular end-diastolic mass (LVM), LVEDVI, left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI), left atrial end-diastolic volume index (LAEDVI), and left atrial end-systolic volume index (LAESVI) were significantly increased, and the left ventricular total emptying fraction (LVTEF) and left atrial total emptying fraction (LATEF) were markedly decreased in the event group patients. Also, the E/e' and LAEDVI were related factors affecting the clinical outcomes of HFpEF patients. The above indicators displayed a significant predictive for the clinical outcomes of HFpEF patients. Conclusions Several cardiac function measures, including LAEDVI, are factors associated with the clinical outcomes of HFpEF patients.

Kolupoti A, Fudim M, Pandey A, Kucharska-Newton A, Hall ME, Vaduganathan M, Mentz RJ, Caughey MC. Temporal Trends and Prognosis of Physical Examination Findings in Patients With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure: The ARIC Study Community Surveillance. Circ Heart Fail 2021; 14:e008403. [PMID: 34702047 PMCID: PMC8692393 DOI: 10.1161/circheartfailure.121.008403] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bedside evaluation of congestion is a mainstay of heart failure (HF) management. Whether detected physical examination signs have changed over time as obesity prevalence has increased in HF populations, or if the associated prognosis differs for HF with reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFrEF or HFpEF) is uncertain. METHODS From 2005 to 2014, the ARIC study (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) conducted adjudicated hospital surveillance of acute decompensated HF. We analyzed trends in physical examination findings, imaging signs, and symptoms related to congestion, both over time and by obesity class, and associated 28-day mortality risks. RESULTS Of 24 937 weighted hospitalizations for acute decompensated HF (mean age 75 years, 53% women, 32% Black), 47% had HFpEF. The prevalence of obesity increased from 2005 to 2014 for both HF types. With increasing obesity category, detected edema increased, while jugular venous distension decreased, and rales remained stable. Detected edema also increased over time, for both HF types. Associations between 28-day mortality and individual signs and symptoms of congestion were similar for HFpEF and HFrEF; however, the adjusted mortality risk with all 3 (edema, rales, and jugular venous distension) versus <3 physical examination findings was higher for patients with HFpEF (odds ratio, 2.41 [95% CI, 1.53-3.79]) than HFrEF (odds ratio, 1.30 [95% CI, 0.87-1.93]); P for interaction by HF type =0.02. CONCLUSIONS In patients hospitalized with acute decompensated HF, detected physical examination findings differ both temporally and by obesity. Combined findings from the physical examination are more prognostic of 28-day mortality for patients with HFpEF than HFrEF.

Abstract
Exercise intolerance (EI) is the primary manifestation of chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), the most common form of heart failure among older individuals. The recent recognition that HFpEF is likely a systemic, multiorgan disorder that shares characteristics with other common, difficult-to-treat, aging-related disorders suggests that novel insights may be gained from combining knowledge and concepts from aging and cardiovascular disease disciplines. This state-of-the-art review is based on the outcomes of a National Institute of Aging-sponsored working group meeting on aging and EI in HFpEF. We discuss aging-related and extracardiac contributors to EI in HFpEF and provide the rationale for a transdisciplinary, "gero-centric" approach to advance our understanding of EI in HFpEF and identify promising new therapeutic targets. We also provide a framework for prioritizing future research, including developing a uniform, comprehensive approach to phenotypic characterization of HFpEF, elucidating key geroscience targets for treatment, and conducting proof-of-concept trials to modify these targets.
