Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), especially elderly individuals, have an increased risk of readmission for acute heart failure (AHF). PURPOSE To study the impact of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by MRI to predict AHF in elderly (>70 years) and nonelderly patients after STEMI. STUDY TYPE Prospective. POPULATION Multicenter registry of 759 reperfused STEMI patients (23.3% elderly). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 1.5-T. Balanced steady-state free precession (cine imaging) and segmented inversion recovery steady-state free precession (late gadolinium enhancement) sequences. ASSESSMENT One-week MRI-derived LVEF (%) was quantified. Sequential MRI data were recorded in 579 patients. Patients were categorized according to their MRI-derived LVEF as preserved (p-LVEF, ≥50%), mildly reduced (mr-LVEF, 41%-49%), or reduced (r-LVEF, ≤40%). Median follow-up was 5 [2.33-7.54] years. STATISTICAL TESTS Univariable (Student's t, Mann-Whitney U, chi-square, and Fisher's exact tests) and multivariable (Cox proportional hazard regression) comparisons and continuous-time multistate Markov model to analyze transitions between LVEF categories and to AHF. Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Over the follow-up period, 79 (10.4%) patients presented AHF. MRI-LVEF was the most robust predictor in nonelderly (HR 0.94 [0.91-0.98]) and elderly patients (HR 0.94 [0.91-0.97]). Elderly patients had an increased AHF risk across the LVEF spectrum. An excess of risk (compared to p-LVEF) was noted in patients with r-LVEF both in nonelderly (HR 11.25 [5.67-22.32]) and elderly patients (HR 7.55 [3.29-17.34]). However, the mr-LVEF category was associated with increased AHF risk only in elderly patients (HR 3.66 [1.54-8.68]). Less transitions to higher LVEF states (n = 19, 30.2% vs. n = 98, 53%) and more transitions to AHF state (n = 34, 53.9% vs. n = 45, 24.3%) were observed in elderly than nonelderly patients. DATA CONCLUSION MRI-derived p-LVEF confers a favorable prognosis and r-LVEF identifies individuals at the highest risk of AHF in both elderly and nonelderly patients. Nevertheless, an excess of risk was also found in the mr-LVEF category in the elderly group. EVIDENCE LEVEL 2. TECHNICAL EFFICACY Stage 2.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:1009691. [PMID: 36247437 PMCID: PMC9557083 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1009691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
IntroductionWe sought to investigate the prognostic impact of incident left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction at the chronic phase of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Materials and methodsAmong 2,266 consecutive patients admitted for AMI, 1,330 patients with LV ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 40% during hospitalization who had LVEF data at 6 months after AMI were analyzed. Patients were divided into three subgroups based on LVEF at 6 months: reduced-LVEF (<40%), mid-range-LVEF (≥ 40% and < 50%) and preserved-LVEF (≥ 50%). Occurrence of a composite of hospitalization for heart failure or cardiovascular death after 6 months of AMI was the primary endpoint. The prognostic impact of LVEF at 6 months was assessed with a multivariate-adjusted Cox model.ResultsOverall, the mean patient age was 67.5 ± 11.9 years, and LVEF during initial hospitalization was 59.4 ± 9.1%. The median (interquartile range) duration of follow-up was 3.0 (1.5–4.8) years, and the primary endpoint occurred in 35/1330 (2.6%) patients (13/69 [18.8%] in the reduced-LVEF, 9/265 [3.4%] in the mid-range-LVEF, and 13/996 [1.3%] in the preserved-LVEF category). The adjusted hazard ratio for the primary endpoint in the reduced-LVEF vs. mid-range-LVEF category and in the reduced-LVEF vs. preserved-LVEF category was 4.71 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.83 to 12.13; p < 0.001) and 14.37 (95% CI, 5.38 to 38.36; p < 0.001), respectively.ConclusionIncident LV systolic dysfunction at the chronic phase after AMI was significantly associated with long-term adverse outcomes. Even in AMI survivors without LV systolic dysfunction at the time of AMI, post-AMI reassessment and careful monitoring of LVEF are required to identify patients at risk.

Healthcare (Basel) 2021; 9:healthcare9101382. [PMID: 34683062 PMCID: PMC8544413 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare9101382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2021] [Revised: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Heart failure (HF) is one of the important complications of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but the epidemiology, associated risks and outcomes have not been well investigated in the era of broad use of fluoroscopy-guided angiographic intervention. Methods: We analysed 161,384 subjects who had experienced the first episode of AMI during 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2012 using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Results: During the index AMI hospitalization, 23.6% of cases developed HF. Female, ≥65 years-old, non-ST-segment elevation type of MI, diabetes mellitus (DM), peripheral vascular occlusion disease (PAOD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), atrial fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF) were associated with higher risks of developing HF. HF cases had inferior survival outcomes compared to non-HF cases in both the short and long term. Among those HF patients, ≥65 years, DM, PAOD, and VT/VF were associated with worse outcomes. On the contrary, coronary reperfusion intervention and treat-to-target pharmacologic treatment were associated with favourable survival outcomes. Conclusions: HF remains common in the modern age and poses negative impacts in survival of AMI patients. It highlights that prudent prevention and early treatment of HF during AMI hospitalization is an important medical issue.
