Abstract Background While the beneficial effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) have been widely investigated soon after CRT implantation, relatively few data are available on long-term clinical outcomes of CRT recipients. Aim To investigate long-term outcomes of CRT patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy stratified as responders and non-responders according to radionuclide angiography. Methods Consecutive heart failure patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy undergoing CRT implantation at our University Hospital between 2007 and 2013 were enrolled. All patients were assessed with equilibrium Tc99 radionuclide angiography at baseline and after 3 months of CRT. Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction was computed on the basis of relative end-diastolic and end-systolic counts, and intraventricular dyssynchrony was derived by Fourier phase analysis. Response to CRT was defined by an absolute increase in LV ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥5% at 3-month follow-up. Clinical outcome was assessed after 10 years through hospital records review. Results Forty-seven patients (83% men, 63±11 years) were included in the study. At 3 months, 25 (53%) patients were identified as CRT responders according to LVEF increase (from 26±8 to 38±12%, p<0.001). In these patients, LV dyssynchrony decreased from 59±30° to 29±18° (p<0.001). Twenty-two (47%) patients were defined as non-responders. No significant changes in LVEF and LV dyssynchrony (50±30° vs. 38±19°, p=0.07) were observed in non-responders. At long-term follow-up (11±2 years), all-cause and cardiac mortality rates were 24% and 12% in responders vs. 32% and 27% in non-responders, respectively (p=ns). Heart transplantation was performed in 3 patients. One (4%) patient among CRT responders compared with 6 (27%) patients among non-responders died of worsening heart failure (p=0.03). Conclusions Although late overall mortality of non-ischemic CRT recipients was not significantly different between mid-term responders and non-responders, CRT responders were at lower risk of worsening heart failure death.

Apical Aneurysm

Background: Increasing penetration of high spatial resolution cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging into routine cardiovascular practice has resulted in more frequent identification of a subset of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients with thin-walled, scarred left ventricular (LV) apical aneurysms. Prior experience involved relatively small numbers of patients with short follow-up and therefore the risk associated with this subgroup remains incompletely defined. Therefore, we assembled a large HCM cohort with LV apical aneurysms and long-term follow-up in order to clarify clinical course and prognosis. Methods and Results: Of 2,400 HCM patients, 60 (2.5%) were identified by CMR with LV apical aneurysm, 24 to 86 years of age, including 19 (32%) <45 years old; 70% male, and followed for 5.6 ± 3.5 years. Over the follow-up period, 24 patients experienced 31 adverse disease-related complications including: appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator discharge for VT/VF (n=11), received or listed for heart transplant (n=6), heart failure death (n=5), nonfatal thromboembolic events (n=4), resuscitated out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (n=3), and sudden death (n=2). In addition, an intracavitary thrombus was identified in the apical aneurysm in 9 patients without a thromboembolic history. Combined HCM-related death and aborted life threatening event rate was 8.6% per year, nearly 6-fold greater than the 1.5% annual mortality rate reported in the general HCM population. Conclusions: Patients with LV apical aneurysms represent a high-risk subgroup within the diverse HCM spectrum, associated with substantial increased risk for disease-related morbidity and mortality, including advanced heart failure, thromboembolic stroke and sudden death. Identification of this unique HCM phenotype should prompt consideration for primary prevention ICD, and anticoagulation for stroke prophylaxis.

Steal Syndrome

A Minimally Invasive Limited Ligation Endoluminal-assisted Revision (MILLER) banding procedure has been used for treating patients with dialysis access–related steal syndrome (DASS) and high-flow vascular access–related pulmonary hypertension (PHT) and heart failure (HF). We performed a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing the MILLER procedure performed for DASS, HF, and PHT from our Vascular Access Database from September 2017 to October 2019. Outcomes included primary patency of banding, primary assisted patency, and secondary patency, using time-to-event analyses with Kaplan-Meier curves and life tables to estimate 6- and 12-month rates. A total of 13 patients (6 men and 7 women, mean age 60 ± 14 years) underwent the MILLER procedure, 6 patients for DASS and 7 patients for pulmonary hypertension and heart failure (PHT/HF). Technical success was achieved in all patients. The longest duration of follow-up was 28 months (median 12 months [IQR 7, 19]). One patient died at 1 month after the intervention due to stroke. One patient developed access thrombosis of the graft 3 days after the procedure. Repeat banding was required in 1 patient 8 months after the first procedure. The 6-month primary patency rate of banding following this procedure was 83% while the 12-month rate was 66%. The 6- and 12-month secondary patency rates were 87% and 75%, respectively. The MILLER procedure can be performed for DASS and PHT/HF with improvement of symptoms and good long-term patency rates. Additional interventions to maintain patency and efficacy are required on long-term follow-up.
