BackgroundEchocardiographic global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a useful measure for detection of cancer treatment–related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) but is influenced by blood pressure changes. This limitation may be overcome by assessment of myocardial work (MW), which incorporates blood pressure into the calculation.ObjectivesThis work aims to determine whether myocardial work indices (MWIs) can help diagnose or prognosticate CTRCD.MethodsIn this prospective cohort study, 136 women undergoing anthracycline and trastuzumab treatment for HER2+ breast cancer, underwent serial echocardiograms and cardiac magnetic resonance pre- and post-anthracycline and every 3 months during trastuzumab. GLS, global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work, and global work efficiency were measured. CTRCD was defined with cardiac magnetic resonance. Generalized estimating equations quantified the association between changes in GLS and MWIs and CTRCD at the current (diagnosis) and subsequent visit (prognosis). Regression tree analysis was used to explore the combined use of GLS and MW for the diagnostic/prognostic assessment of CTRCD.ResultsBaseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 63.2 ± 4.0%. Thirty-seven (27.2%) patients developed CTRCD. An absolute change in GLS (standardized odds ratio [sOR]: 1.97 [95% CI: 1.07-3.66]; P = 0.031) and GWI (sOR: 1.73 [95% CI: 1.04-2.85]; P = 0.033) were associated with concurrent CTRCD. An absolute change in GLS (sOR: 1.79 [95% CI: 1.22-2.62]; P = 0.003), GWI (sOR: 1.67 [95% CI: 1.20-2.32]; P = 0.003), and GCW (sOR: 1.65 [95% CI: 1.17-2.34]; P = 0.005) were associated with subsequent CTRCD. Change in GWI and GCW demonstrated incremental value over GLS and clinical factors for the diagnosis of concurrent CTRCD. In a small group with a GLS change <3.3% (absolute), and a >21 mm Hg reduction in systolic blood pressure, worsening of GWI identified patients with higher probability of concurrent CTRCD (24.0% vs 5.2%). MWIs did not improve identification of subsequent CTRCD beyond knowledge of GLS change.ConclusionsGLS can be used to diagnose and prognosticate cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) defined CTRCD, with additional value from MWIs in selected cases.

Background: Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital heart disease that sometimes remains clinically silent until adulthood, usually presenting with arterial hypertension. It is well known that after coarctation treatment, many patients remain hypertensive despite successful repair. In this study we approached the predictors and effects of residual hypertension after successful coarctation therapy. Methods: It was a cross sectional observational study involving 50 patients who underwent Coarctation repair/angioplasty in Ain Shams university hospitals. We divided the patients into two groups (hypertensive and normotensive) and we studied their demographic data (e.g., age, gender, age at first repair, follow up period, etc.) to conclude the possible predictors of persistent hypertension in such cases. We also performed full echocardiographic assessment including 3D speckle tracking echocardiography to detect subtle changes in left ventricular systolic functions. Results: Hypertensive patients had significantly higher BMI (29.1 kg/m2) as compared to normotensives (24 kg/m2), p < 0.0001. Age at first CoA intervention was significantly higher in hypertensive patients. Hypertensive patients had significantly lower 3D left ventricular strain measures (Global area strain, global circumferential strain and global longitudinal strain). The incidence of bicuspid aortic valve was significantly higher in the hypertensive group, yet it was not an independent predictor of persistent hypertension. Conclusions: The predictors for residual hypertension post successful CoA repair were late intervention and higher BMI. Bicuspid aortic valve was more common in the hypertensive group. Regarding the effects of such disease domain, treated CoA patients with persistent hypertension tended to have higher LV mass index and lower values of LV deformation. 相似文献

We retrospectively investigated the impact of bicuspid aortic valve on the prognosis of patients who had definite infective endocarditis of the native aortic valve.Of 51 patients, a bicuspid aortic valve was present in 22 (43%); the other 29 had tricuspid aortic valves. On average, the patients who had bicuspid valves were younger than those who had tricuspid valves. Patients with a tricuspid valve had larger left atrial diameters and were more likely to have severe mitral regurgitation.Periannular complications, which we detected in 19 patients (37%), were much more common in the patients who had a bicuspid valve (64% vs 17%, P = 0.001). The presence of a bicuspid valve was the only significant independent predictor of periannular complications. The in-hospital mortality rate in the bicuspid group was lower than that in the tricuspid group; however, this figure did not reach statistical significance (9% vs 24%, P = 0.15). In multivariate analysis, left atrial diameter was the only independent predictor associated with an increased risk of death (hazard ratio, 2.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.1–4.5; P = 0.031).In our study, patients with infective endocarditis in a bicuspid aortic valve were younger and had a higher incidence of periannular complications. Although a worse prognosis has been reported previously, we found that infective endocarditis in a native bicuspid aortic valve is not likely to increase the risk of death in comparison with infective endocarditis in native tricuspid aortic valves.Key words: Aortic valve/abnormalities/pathology/ultrasonography, aortic valve insufficiency/classification/diagnosis, echocardiography/methods, endocarditis, bacterial/complications/mortality/pathology/ultrasonography, heart defects/congenital, heart diseases/complications, heart valve diseases/classification/complications/congenital/pathology, hospital mortality, retrospective studies, risk factorsBicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital cardiac malformation, affecting 1% to 2% of the population.1 The incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) in the bicuspid aortic valve population ranges from 10% to 30%. Twenty-five percent of IE cases occur in a bicuspid aortic valve.2,3Few data exist about IE in persons who have a bicuspid aortic valve, in contrast with the large amount of data involving other IE populations. Risk stratification is an important objective in the evaluation of patients who have IE, especially IE of the aortic valve. In patients with IE of the native valve, acute heart failure occurs more frequently in association with aortic valve infection (29%) than mitral valve infection (20%).4 In view of these factors, we sought to evaluate the impact of bicuspid aortic valve on complications and death related to IE that occurs in a native aortic valve. 相似文献

BackgroundThe left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the most commonly used measure describing pumping efficiency, but it is heavily dependent on loading conditions and therefore not well-suited to study pathophysiologic changes. The novel concept of echocardiography-derived myocardial work (MyW) overcomes this disadvantage as it is based on LV pressure–strain loops. We tracked the in-hospital changes of indices of MyW in patients admitted for acute heart failure (AHF) in relation to their recompensation status and explored the prognostic utility of MyW indicesMethods and ResultsWe studied 126 patients admitted for AHF (mean 73 ± 12 years, 37% female, 40% with a reduced LVEF [<40%]), providing pairs of echocardiograms obtained both on hospital admission and prior to discharge. The following MyW indices were derived: global constructive and wasted work (GCW, GWW), global work index (GWI), and global work efficiency. In patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction with decreasing N-terminal prohormone B-natriuretic peptide levels during hospitalization, the GCW and GWI improved significantly, whereas the GWW remained unchanged. In patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction, the GCW and GWI were unchanged; however, in patients with no decrease or eventual increase in N-terminal prohormone B-natriuretic peptide, we observed an increase in GWW. In all patients with AHF, higher values of GWW were associated with a higher risk of death or rehospitalization within 6 months after discharge (per 10-point increment hazard ratio 1.035, 95% confidence interval 1.005–1.065).ConclusionsOur results suggest differential myocardial responses to decompensation and recompensation, depending on the HF phenotype in patients presenting with AHF. The GWW predicted the 6-month prognosis in these patients, regardless of LVEF. Future studies in larger cohorts need to confirm our results and identify determinants of short-term and longer term changes in MyW. 相似文献

Background: An isolated bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with structural and functional abnormalities of
the aorta and the left ventricle (LV). Although ~50% of patients with aortic coarctation (CoA) have a BAV, less is
known about its impact on LV function and aortic geometry and function in CoA patients. In this cardiovascular
magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) study, we analysed markers of LV and aortic function as well as aortic geometry in a large cohort of CoA patients with a BAV and compared them with CoA patients with a tricuspid aortic
valve (TAV). Methods: We included 48 patients with a BAV (18.4 ± 9.3 years) and 45 patients with TAV (20.7 ±
9.9 years). LV volumes, mass and ejection fraction as well as aortic distensibilty, pulse wave velocity (PWV) were
measured from standard cine CMR and phase-contrast CMR images. 2-dimensional CMR feature tracking (2DCMR-FT) was performed to measure longitudinal, circumferential and radial strain and strain rate of the LV. Aortic arch geometry was classified as romanic, gothic and crenel. Results: LV volumes, mass and ejection fraction as
well as aortic distensibility and PWV did not significantly differ between the BAV and the TAV group. There was
also no significant difference for LV global longitudinal, radial and circumferential strain and strain rate between
both groups. Patients with a BAV had more commonly a gothic aortic arch compared to TAV patients, but this
difference was not statistically significant (22 vs. 14, p = 0.2). Ascending and descending aortic distensibility correlated with LV mass in the entire patient group (p < 0.001). Global longitudinal, circumferential and radial strain
(GLS, GCS, GRS) and global longitudinal and circumferential strain rate (GLSR, GCSR) correlated with LV ejection fraction (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our data suggest that the presence of a BAV does not adversely impact LV
and aortic function in children and young adults with CoA. The correlation of global circumferential, longitudinal
and radial strain values with LV ejection fraction demonstrates that 2D-CMR-FT might provide additional information related to ventricular function in CoA patients. 相似文献

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to assess the temporal trends of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS), and to compare the outcomes between TAVR and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in this population.BackgroundRandomized trials comparing TAVR to SAVR in AS with bicuspid valve are lacking.MethodsThe study queried the National Inpatient Sample database (years 2012 to 2016) to identify hospitalizations for bicuspid AS who underwent isolated aortic valve replacement. A propensity-matched analysis was used to compare outcomes of hospitalizations for TAVR versus SAVR for bicuspid AS and TAVR for bicuspid AS versus tricuspid AS.ResultsThe analysis included 31,895 hospitalizations with bicuspid AS, of whom 1,055 (3.3%) underwent TAVR. TAVR was increasingly utilized during the study period for bicuspid AS (ptrend = 0.002). After matching, TAVR and SAVR had similar in-hospital mortality (3.1% vs. 3.1%; odds ratio: 1.00; 95% confidence interval: 0.60 to 1.67). There was no difference between TAVR and SAVR in the rates of cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, acute kidney injury, hemopericardium, cardiac tamponade, or acute stroke. TAVR was associated with lower rates of acute myocardial infarction, post-operative bleeding, vascular complications, and discharge to nursing facility as well as a shorter length of hospital stay. On the contrary, TAVR was associated with a higher incidence of complete heart block and permanent pacemaker insertion. TAVR for bicuspid AS was associated with similar in-hospital mortality compared with tricuspid AS.ConclusionsThis nationwide analysis showed similar in-hospital mortality for TAVR and SAVR in patients with bicuspid AS. TAVR for bicuspid AS was also associated with similar in-hospital mortality compared with tricuspid AS. Further studies are needed to evaluate long-term outcomes of TAVR for bicuspid AS. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Dilatation of the ascending aorta in aortic stenosis may be partly explained by intrinsic wall structure changes, but the relative contribution of altered hemodynamics is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the association between ascending aortic dimensions and valve stenosis severity. METHODS AND RESULTS: An analysis of echocardiographic examinations was conducted in 296 patients with aortic stenosis (179 males, mean age 71 years), 57 with bicuspid and 239 with tricuspid aortic valve, mean transaortic gradient 43+/-20 mmHg, and not more than moderate aortic regurgitation. Aortic dimensions at the level of annulus, sinuses of Valsalva, sinotubular junction and proximal ascending aorta were measured. Only height (p<0.001), degree of aortic regurgitation (p<0.01) and presence of bicuspid aortic valve (p<0.001) were independent predictors of ascending aortic dimensions. CONCLUSIONS: An independent association between aortic pressure gradients and proximal ascending aortic dimensions was not observed in patients with bicuspid or tricuspid aortic valve stenosis. Therefore, the poststenotic dilatation of the ascending aorta is not explained by aortic stenosis severity itself. Possible nonhemodynamic causes deserve detailed study at the time of diagnosis. 相似文献

ObjectivesThis study sought to compare outcomes in patients with bicuspid versus tricuspid anatomy undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).BackgroundTAVR has shown excellent safety and efficacy in patients with tricuspid aortic valve stenosis, but limited data are available on the use of self-expanding valves in patients with bicuspid valves.MethodsThe Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology TVT Registry was used to analyze patients who underwent TAVR with the Evolut R or Evolut PRO valves. Clinical and echocardiographic outcomes were analyzed through 1-year follow-up.ResultsBetween July 2015 and September 2018 a total of 932 patients with bicuspid aortic valve stenosis underwent elective TAVR with the self-expanding Evolut R or Evolut PRO valve. These patients were compared with a group of 26,154 patients with tricuspid aortic stenosis who underwent TAVR during that same time period. At baseline, patients with bicuspid valves were younger, had fewer cardiac comorbidities, and had lower Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality scores (5.3 ± 4.2% vs. 6.9 ± 4.8%; p < 0.001). To account for these differences, propensity matching was performed, which resulted in 929 matched pairs. Within these match groups, the rates of all-cause mortality at 30 days (2.6% vs. 1.7%; p = 0.18) and 1 year (10.4% vs. 12.1%; p = 0.63), as well the rate of stroke at 30 days (3.4% vs. 2.7%; p = 0.41) and 1 year (3.9% vs. 4.4%; p = 0.93), were comparable.ConclusionsAll-cause mortality, stroke, and valve hemodynamics did not differ at 30 days or 1 year between patient groups. In patients at increased surgical risk, TAVR for bicuspid aortic valve stenosis indicates acceptable safety outcomes with low complications rates. 相似文献

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes and transcatheter heart valve hemodynamic parameters after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in low-risk patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS).BackgroundTAVR is approved for low-risk patients in the United States. However, patients with bicuspid AS were excluded from the randomized cohorts of the pivotal low-risk trials.MethodsThe LRT (Low Risk TAVR) trial was an investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter study and was the first and only U.S. Food and Drug Administration–approved investigational device exemption trial to evaluate the feasibility of TAVR with either balloon-expandable or self-expanding valves in low-risk patients with bicuspid AS. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at 30 days. Baseline and follow-up echocardiography and computed tomography to detect leaflet thickening were analyzed in an independent core laboratory.ResultsSixty-one low-risk patients with symptomatic, severe AS and bicuspid aortic valves (78.3% Sievers type 1 morphology) underwent TAVR at 6 centers from 2016 to 2019. The mean age was 68.6 years, and 42.6% were men. At 30 days, there was zero mortality and no disabling strokes. The rate of new permanent pacemaker implantation was 13.1%; just 1 patient had a moderate paravalvular leak at 30 days. Hypoattenuated leaflet thickening was observed in 10% of patients at 30 days.ConclusionsTAVR appears to be safe in patients with bicuspid AS, with short length of hospital stay, zero mortality, and no disabling strokes at 30 days. Subclinical leaflet thrombosis was observed in a minority of patients at 30 days but did not appear to be associated with clinical events. 相似文献

ObjectivesThe study compared 1-year outcomes between transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) morphology and clinically similar patients having tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) morphology.BackgroundThere are limited prospective data on TAVR using the SAPIEN 3 device in low-surgical-risk patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis and bicuspid anatomy.MethodsLow-risk, severe aortic stenosis patients with BAV were candidates for the PARTNER 3 (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves 3) (P3) bicuspid registry or the P3 bicuspid continued access protocol. Patients treated in these registries were pooled and propensity score matched to TAV patients from the P3 randomized TAVR trial. Outcomes were compared between groups. The primary endpoint was the 1-year composite rate of death, stroke, and cardiovascular rehospitalization.ResultsOf 320 total submitted BAV patients, 169 (53%) were treated, and most were Sievers type 1. The remaining 151 patients were excluded caused by anatomic or clinical criteria. Propensity score matching with the P3 TAVR cohort (496 patients) yielded 148 pairs. There were no differences in baseline clinical characteristics; however, BAV patients had larger annuli and they experienced longer procedure duration. There was no difference in the primary endpoint between BAV and TAV (10.9% vs 10.2%; P = 0.80) or in the rates of the individual components (death: 0.7% vs 1.4%; P = 0.58; stroke: 2.1% vs 2.0%; P = 0.99; cardiovascular rehospitalization: 9.6% vs 9.5%; P = 0.96).ConclusionsAmong highly select bicuspid aortic stenosis low-surgical-risk patients without extensive raphe or subannular calcification, TAVR with the SAPIEN 3 valve demonstrated similar outcomes to a matched cohort of patients with tricuspid aortic stenosis. 相似文献

BackgroundA non-invasive method for left ventricular pressure-strain analysis has recently been introduced to provide information on cardiac work and detect subtler changes in cardiac function. This study aims to verify and construct a novel index that could accurately and independently predict the prognosis of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) receiving regular hemodialysis.MethodsPatients with end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) receiving maintenance hemodialysis (4-h sessions, 3 times weekly for 3 months or more) and who underwent echocardiography between 2009 and 2014 in China Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan, were enrolled. Conventional (left ventricular ejection fraction, LVEF) and strain echocardiography parameters (global longitudinal strain, GLS; cardiac work index, CWI) in 102 eligible patients were analyzed and compared. CWI was calculated from estimated LV pressure-myocardial strain loop area.ResultsResults show that, while no significant differences were found between LVEF (0.57 ± 0.12 vs. 0.59 ± 0.09, P = 0.27) and GLS (?16.12 ± 6.57% vs. -18.44 ± 5.54%, P = 0.07), deceased patients had significantly lower CWI (1339 ± 683.05 mmHg% vs. 1883.38 ± 640.99 mmHg%, P = 0.0002) than surviving patients. The predictive values defined by area under the curve (AUC) of LVEF, GLS and CWI were 0.499, 0.619 and 0.724, respectively.ConclusionIn conclusion, CWI is an accurately independent predictor of all-cause mortality in ESRD patients receiving regular hemodialysis and may superior to the current predictors such as LVEF and GLS. 相似文献

Bicuspid aortic valve can be associated with clinically important aortic regurgitation and dilatation of ascending aorta. Aortic valve repair seems to be optimal therapeutic option how to avoid valve-related and anticoagulation-related complications. We have analyzed midterm outcomes of patients after bicuspid aortic valve repair.MethodsBetween January 2008 and December 2015, 91 patients (mean age 40.9 ± 12.2) with bicuspid aortic valve (type 0 or 1) underwent valve-sparing surgery for aortic valve insufficiency or aortic aneurysm. Urgent procedures and patients of age more than 65 were not included. The cohort of patients was retrospectively divided into two groups. Forty-nine patients underwent aortic valve-sparing procedure with root replacement (group 1). Forty-two patients underwent aortic valve repair without root replacement (group 2). The mean length of follow-up was 57.5 months.ResultsThere was no death in connection with aortic valve repair during follow up. Three patients from group 2 required in-hospital reoperation for early repair failure. Another seven patients (4 from group 1 and 3 from group 2) were reoperated for recurrent aortic insufficiency during follow-up period. Freedom from aortic valve reoperation at 5 years was 90% in group 1 and 87% in group 2. Freedom from recurrent aortic insufficiency (>2°) at 5 years was 85% in group 1 and 78% in group 2.ConclusionBicuspid aortic valve repair is a safe procedure, which can be performed with acceptable midterm results. Risk of repair failure depends on preoperative valve morphology and choice of repair technique. Repair technique needs to be tailored to the specific anatomy of the valve. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: We sought to identify the predictors of aneurysmal formation after surgical correction of aortic coarctation. BACKGROUND: In 9% of patients, aneurysms develop late after corrective surgery of coarctation of the aorta, with a 36% mortality rate if left untreated. However, the predictors of postsurgical aneurysmal formation are unknown. METHODS: Of 25 aortic aneurysms requiring corrective surgery 152 +/- 78 months after the initial coarctation repair, 8 were located in the ascending aorta (type A) and 17 at the site of previous repair (local type). Seventy-four patients without progression of the aortic diameter within 189 +/- 71 months after coarctation repair were used for categorical data analysis in an attempt to identify the predictors of postsurgical aneurysmal formation. RESULTS: Advanced age at coarctation repair (p = 0.004) and patch graft technique (p < 0.0005) independently predicted local aneurysmal formation. Type A aneurysm was univariately associated with the presence of a bicuspid aortic valve (p = 0.02), advanced age at coarctation repair (p = 0.044) and a high preoperative peak systolic pressure gradient of 74 +/- 21 mm Hg (p = 0.041). Conversely, multivariate analysis confirmed only the presence of a bicuspid aortic valve (p = 0.015) as an independent predictor of type A aneurysm. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that 72% of patients with a postsurgical aneurysm had an operation at age 13.5 years or more, whereas 69% with no postsurgical aneurysm had an operation at a younger age. CONCLUSIONS: Use of the patch graft technique and late correction of coarctation can predict aneurysmal formation at the site of coarctation repair, although patients with a bicuspid aortic valve may be at risk for an aneurysm developing in the ascending aorta, particularly after late repair of aortic coarctation with high preoperative pressure gradients. 相似文献

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to compare 1-year outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in low surgical risk patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis to patients with tricuspid aortic stenosis.BackgroundThe pivotal TAVR trials excluded patients with bicuspid aortic valves. The Low Risk Bicuspid Study 30-day primary endpoint of death or disabling stroke was 1.3%.MethodsThe Low Risk Bicuspid Study is a prospective, single-arm, TAVR trial that enrolled patients from 25 U.S. sites. A screening committee confirmed bicuspid anatomy and valve classification on computed tomography using the Sievers classification. Valve sizing was by annular measurements. An independent clinical events committee adjudicated all serious adverse events, and an independent core laboratory assessed all echocardiograms. The 150 patients from the Low Risk Bicuspid Study were propensity matched to the TAVR patients in the randomized Evolut Low Risk Trial using the 1:1 5- to-1-digit greedy method, resulting in 145 pairs.ResultsAll-cause mortality or disabling stroke at 1 year was 1.4% in the bicuspid and 2.8% in the tricuspid group (P = 0.413). A pacemaker was implanted in 16.6% of bicuspid and 17.9% of tricuspid patients (P = 0.741). The effective orifice area was similar between groups at 1 year (2.2 ± 0.7 cm2 vs 2.3 ± 0.6 cm2, P = 0.677) as was the mean gradient (8.7 ± 3.9 mm Hg vs 8.5 ± 3.1 mm Hg, P = 0.754). Fewer patients in the bicuspid group had mild or worse paravalvular leak (21.3% vs 42.6%, P < 0.001).ConclusionsThere were no significant differences in clinical or forward flow hemodynamic outcomes between the propensity-matched groups at 1 year. 相似文献

- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an acceptable treatment alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement in selected patients with a bicuspid aortic valve.
- TAVR appears to have acceptable mid‐term outcomes in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis.
- A large‐scale, randomized, clinical trial is necessary to better define the role of TAVR for patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis.
