Abstract: | BackgroundCurrent guidelines distinguish stage B heart failure (SBHF) (asymptomatic left ventricular LV] dysfunction) from stage A heart failure (SAHF) (asymptomatic with heart failure HF] risk factors) on the basis of myocardial infarction, LV remodeling (hypertrophy or reduced ejection fraction EF]) or valvular disease. However, subclinical HF with preserved EF may not be identified with these criteria.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to assess the prediction of incident HF with global longitudinal strain (GLS) in patients with SAHF and SBHF.MethodsThe authors analyzed echocardiograms (including GLS) in 447 patients (age 65 ± 11 years; 77% male) enrolled in a prospective study of HF in individuals at risk of incident HF, with normal or mildly impaired EF (≥40%). Long-term follow-up was obtained via data linkage. Analysis was performed using a competing risks model.ResultsAfter a median of 9 years of follow-up, 50 (10%) of the 447 patients had new HF admissions, and 87 (18%) died. In multivariable analysis, all imaging variables were independent predictors of HF admissions, including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (HR: 0.97 95% CI: 0.94-0.99]), LV mass index (HR: 1.01 95% CI: 1.00-1.02]), left atrial volume index (HR: 1.02 95% CI: 1.00-1.05]), and E/e′ (HR: 1.05 95% CI: 1.01-1.24]), incremental to clinical variables (age and Charlson comorbidity score). However, the addition of GLS provided value incremental to both clinical and other echocardiographic parameters (P = 0.004). Impaired GLS (<18%) (HR: 4.09 95% CI: 1.87-8.92]) was independent and incremental to all clinical and other echocardiographic variables in predicting HF, and impaired LVEF, left ventricular hypertrophy, left atrial enlargement, high E/e′, or SBHF were not predictive.ConclusionsThe inclusion of GLS as a criterion for SBHF would add independent and incremental information to standard markers of SBHF for the prediction of subsequent HF admissions. |
