Poor Outcome

Background. Cardiac morbidities account for 20% of deaths after ischemic stroke and is the second commonest cause of death in acute stroke population. Elevation of cardiac troponin has been regarded as a prognostic biomarker of poor outcome in patients with acute stroke.Methods. This retrospective study enrolled 871 patients with acute ischemic stroke from August 2010 to March 2015. Data included vital signs, laboratory parameters collected in the emergency department, and clinical features during hospitalization. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Barthel index, and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) were used to assess stroke severity and outcome.Results.Elevated troponin I (TnI) > 0.01 µg/L was observed in 146 (16.8%) patients. Comparing to patients with normal TnI, patients with elevated TnI were older (median age 77.6 years vs. 73.8 years), had higher median heart rates (80 bpm vs. 78 bpm), higher median white blood cells (8.40 vs. 7.50 1,000/m3) and creatinine levels (1.40 mg/dL vs. 1.10 mg/dL), lower median hemoglobin (13.0 g/dL vs. 13.7 g/dL) and hematocrit (39% vs. 40%) levels, higher median NIHSS scores on admission (11 vs. 4) and at discharge (8 vs. 3), higher median mRS scores (4 vs3) but lower Barthel index scores (20 vs. 75) at discharge (p< 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that age ≥ 76 years (OR 2.25, CI [1.59–3.18]), heart rate ≥ 82 bpm (OR 1.47, CI [1.05–2.05]), evidence of clinical deterioration (OR 9.45, CI [4.27–20.94]), NIHSS score ≥ 12 on admission (OR 19.52, CI [9.59–39.73]), and abnormal TnI (OR 1.98, CI [1.18–3.33]) were associated with poor outcome. Significant factors for in-hospital mortality included male gender (OR 3.69, CI [1.45–9.44]), evidence of clinical deterioration (OR 10.78, CI [4.59–25.33]), NIHSS score ≥ 12 on admission (OR 8.08, CI [3.04–21.48]), and elevated TnI level (OR 5.59, CI [2.36–13.27]).C-statistics revealed that abnormal TnI improved the predictive power of both poor outcome and in-hospital mortality. Addition of TnI > 0.01 ug/L or TnI > 0.1 ug/L to the model-fitting significantly improvedc-statistics for in-hospital mortality from 0.887 to 0.926 (p= 0.019) and 0.927 (p= 0.028), respectively.Discussion.Elevation of TnI during acute stroke is a strong independent predictor for both poor outcome and in-hospital mortality. Careful investigation of possible concomitant cardiac disorders is warranted for patients with abnormal troponin levels.

Abstract Background There is overwhelming volume of confirmed cases of COVID-19, despite this numerous knowledge gaps remain in the diagnosis, management, and prognostication of this novel coronavirus infection, making prevention and control a challenge. Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients with real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR)-confirmed COVID-19. Binary logistic regression was used to determine the association between the cardiac biomarkers and in-hospital mortality. ROC, AUC, and cutoff analyses were used to determine optimal cutoff values for the cardiac biomarkers. Results A total of 90 subjects with a complete panel of cardiac biomarkers out of the 224 rRT-PCR confirmed cases were included. The median age was 57 years (IQR, 47–67 years), majority were males. Sixty-six (77.6%) subjects survived while 19 (22.4%) expired. The most common presenting symptom was fever (75.6%), and the most common comorbidity was hypertension (67.8%). Spearman rho correlation analysis showed moderate positive association of high sensitivity troponin I (hsTnI) with in-hospital mortality (R, 0.434, p = &lt;0.001). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that creatine kinase and hsTnI were independently associated with in-hospital mortality (OR, 4.103 [95% CI, 1.241–13.563], p=0.021; and OR, 7.899 [95% CI, 2.430–25.675], p=0.001, respectively). ROC curve analysis showed that hsTnI was a good predictor for in-hospital mortality (AUC, 0.829 [95% CI, 0.735–0.923], p = &lt;0.001) and that creatine kinase was a poor predictor (AUC, 0.677 [95% CI, 0.531–0.823], p=0.018). Optimal cutoff point derived from the ROC curve for hsTnI was 0.010 ng/ml (J, 0.574) with a sensitivity of 84% (TPR, 0.842 [95% CI, 0.604–0.966]), specificity of 73% (TNR, 0.732 [95% CI, 0.614–0.386]), and an adjusted negative predictive value of 99% (Known prevalence*adjusted NPV, 0.989), a positive likelihood ratio of 20% (LR+, 3.147 [95% CI, 2.044–4.844]) and a negative likelihood ratio of 30% (LR−, 0.216 [95% CI, 0.076–0.615]). Conclusion High sensitivity troponin I level was a good tool with a very high negative predictive value in significantly predicting in-hospital mortality among rRT-PCR positive COVID-19 patients.

Introduction: Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is common after resuscitation from cardiac arrest (CA). The association of echocardiographic LVSD with cardiac rhythm during CA is not well described. Hypothesis: Patients with a shockable rhythm (VT/VF) will have a greater degree of LVSD by echocardiography after CA. Methods: Prospective registry of patients resuscitated from CA underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) within 24 hours after CA. We determined 2D measurements, LVEF, spectral Doppler of mitral inflow and LV outflow, systolic and diastolic tissue Doppler of the mitral annulus velocity, and tricuspid plane annular excursion (TAPSE). We collected data on in-hospital mortality as well as vasopressor doses and troponin I levels. TTE parameters and clinical characteristics were compared between patients with a shockable (VT/VF) arrest rhythm and a non-shockable (asystole/PEA) arrest rhythm and between survivors and non-survivors using t-tests and ANOVA. Results: Of the 55 patients, the 23 (42%) with shockable CA rhythms had significantly higher LV end-systolic dimension (4.1cm vs. 3.3cm, p = 0.0073), lower LV fractional shortening (0.15 vs. 0.28, p <0.0001), and lower LVEF both by visual estimate (36.2% vs. 52.3%, p = 0.0012) and by Simpson’s biplane method (37.5% vs. 52.3%, p = 0.0506). Other measured TTE parameters did not differ between groups, including TAPSE (shockable 1.53 vs. non-shockable 1.82, p = 0.1731). Admission and peak 24 hour vasopressor requirements did not differ between groups. Peak troponin levels were higher (22.26 vs. 3.88, p = 0.0198) in patients with shockable CA rhythms, but admission troponin levels were no different (0.88 vs. 0.51, p = 0.1527). TTE parameters did not differ between survivors and non-survivors (visual LVEF 47.0% vs. 44.2%, p = 0.5968; LV fractional shortening 0.19 vs. 0.25, p = 0.0916). Conclusions: Patients with shockable CA rhythms have more severe LVSD on 24 hour echocardiography despite similar vasopressor requirements and admission troponin levels. Echocardiographic parameters at 24 hours did not predict in-hospital mortality. Early echocardiography after CA appears more useful for differentiating primary CA rhythm than for predicting mortality.

Abstract Background Takotsubo (stress) cardiomyopathy is an acute reversible heart failure syndrome initially described in Japanese patients, but now well characterized in Caucasians patients in Europe or of European descent. An initial observation has suggested a lower incidence of Takotsubo in non-Caucasian subjects, particularly in the African-American (AA) population in the United States of America. The purpose of this study was to assess whether epidemiologic and clinical differences were present in Takotsubo in a large urban hospital in Virginia, USA. Methods We used an informatics-based system to query electronic health records (TriNetX, Cambridge, MA, USA) to search for cases of Takotsubo between 2010 and 2018 and a corresponding cohort of patients with non-ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We then performed a chart-level review of 160 cases and obtained additional clinical information including symptoms, risk factors, co-morbidities, and in-hospital outcomes. This retrospective study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of our institution. Results We identified 260 cases of Takotsubo and 6,270 of NSTEMI in the same time period (1:24, 4.2%). Being AA was associated with an odds ratio of Takotsubo versus NSTEMI of 0.38 [0.29–0.50] (P=0.0001). With further evaluation of patients with Takotsubo (N=160), AA (N=44, 27.2%) and Non-Hispanic Caucasian (C) (N=110, 67.9%) had no differences in age and sex. AA patients with Takotsubo however were more likely than C patients to be affected by type II diabetes mellitus (38.6% versus 14.5%, P=0.002, OR 3.70 [1.65–8.28]), have history of drug abuse (27.3% versus 9.1%, P=0.009, OR 3.75 [1.48–9.49]) and of cocaine use in particular (9.1% versus 0.9%, P=0.024, OR 11.0 [1.19–101.4]). The pattern of wall motion abnormality was not different between the 2 groups. AA patients presented with a lower ratio of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) to troponin I (41.9 [12.7–258] pg./ml versus 281 [42–890] pg/ml, P=0.022). There was no significant difference of in-hospital mortality between the AA and C groups (9.1% versus 25%, respectively, OR 0.40 [0.13–1.24], P=0.11). Conclusions The incidence and clinical characteristics of Takotsubo (stress) cardiomyopathy appear to be different between African-American and Non-Hispanic Caucasian patients. African-American patients are more likely to have diabetes and illicit drug usage, but have a lower BNP/troponin I ratio. Both AA and Non-Hispanic Caucasian patients have similar in-hospital mortality.

Background     Heart damage is one of complications of the novel coronavirus infection. Searching for available predictors for in-hospital death and survival that determine the tactic of managing patients with COVID-19, is a challenge of the present time.Aim      To determine the role echocardiographic (EchoCG) parameters in evaluation of the in-hospital prognosis for patients with the novel coronavirus infection, COVID-19.Material and methods  The study included 158 patients admitted for COVID-19. EchoCG was performed for all patients. The role of left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) was analyzed in various age groups. EchoCG data were compared with the clinical picture, including the severity of respiratory failure (RF), blood oxygen saturation (SрО2), data of computed tomography (CT) of the lungs, and blood concentration of troponin. Comorbidity was analyzed, and the highest significance of individual pathologies was determined.Results LV EF ≤40 % determined the worst prognosis of patients with COVID-19 (p<0.0001), including the age group older than 70 years (р=0.013). LV EF did not correlate with the degree of lung tissue damage determined by CT upon admission (р=0.54) and over time (р=0.23). The indexes that determined an adverse in-hospital prognosis to a considerable degree were pericardial effusion (p<0.0001) and pulmonary hypertension (p<0.0001). RV end-diastolic dimension and LV end-diastolic volume did not determine the in-hospital mortality and survival. Blood serum concentration of troponin I higher than 165.13 µg/l was an important predictor for in-hospital death with a high degree of significance (р<0.0001). Th degree of RF considerably influenced the in-hospital mortality (р<0.0001). RF severity was associated with LV EF (р=0.024). The SpO2 value determined an adverse immediate prognosis with a high degree of significance (р=0.0009). This parameter weakly correlated with LV EF (r=0.26; p=0.0009). Patients who required artificial ventilation (AV) constituted a group with the worst survival rate (р<0.0001). LV EF was associated with a need for AV with a high degree of significance (р=0.0006). Comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease, postinfarction cardiosclerosis and oncologic diseases, to the greatest extent determined the risk of fatal outcome.Conclusion      EchoCG can be recommended for patients with COVID-19 at the hospital stage to determine the tactics of management and for the in-hospital prognosis.
