Clinical Characteristics and Risk Factors of Elevated Pulmonary Vascular Resistance in Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction

Objectives:To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of significantly elevated pulmonary vascular resistance(PVR)in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF).Methods:The present study enrolled 164 consecutive patients with HFrEF who received right heart catheterization(RHC)in our center.Significantly elevated PVR was defined as great than or equal to 5.0 Wood units(WU).Data of clinical characteristics and RHC results were collected and analyzed.We conducted Lasso-Logistic regression for dimension reduction and feature selection,and then identified risk factors for significantly elevated PVR in HFrEF patients.Results:Significantly elevated PVR was diagnosed by RHC in 107 out of 164 patients(65.2%)with HFrEF.The Lasso-Logistic regression revealed that decreased systolic blood pressure(OR=1.04,95%CI:1.02-1.06),reduced left ventricular ejection fraction(OR=1.16,95%CI:1.06-1.27),lower serum potassium(OR=2.55,95%CI:1.02-6.36),enlarged left atrial dimension(OR=1.09,95%CI:1.02-1.16),comorbidity with coronary heart disease(OR=4.97,95%CI:1.39-18.02)and absence of beta-blockers treatment(OR=6.80,95%CI:1.83-25.22)were the risk factors of significantly elevated PVR in patients with HFrEF(all P<0.05).Conclusions:The incidence of significantly elevated PVR is 65.2%in this cohort.Risk factors of significantly elevated PVR in HFrEF include decreased systolic blood pressure,reduced left ventricular ejection fraction,lower serum potassium,enlarged left atrial diameter,comorbidity with coronary heart disease and absence of beta-blockers treatment.
