Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Nil Background and objectives Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events that are underestimated by traditional risk stratification algorithms. We sought to determine clinical and echocardiographic predictors of adverse outcomes in CKD patients. Methods Stage 3 and 4 CKD patients without previous cardiac disease underwent a comprehensive transthoracic and stress echocardiogram, with left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) strain analysis. Participants were followed for the primary end point of a composite of all-cause death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). The secondary end point was a composite of cardiovascular death and MACE. Results 243 patients (male 63%; mean age 59.2 ± 14.4 years) were followed for a median of 3.9 ± 2.7 years. 69 patients met the primary endpoint and 58 the secondary end point. Age (p < 0.01), history of diabetes mellitus (p < 0.01), indexed LV mass(LVMI) (p < 0.01), LV global longitudinal strain(GLS) (p < 0.01), indexed LA volume(LAVI) (p < 0.01), E/e’ ratio (p < 0.01) and LA strain (LAs) (p < 0.01) were independent predictors of death and MACE. On Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, LAs (p < 0.01) was the only independent predictor for the primary end point in a model accounting for age, diabetes mellitus, LVMI, LVGLS, E/e’ and LAVI. LAs remained an independent predictor for the secondary end point. Conclusions LAs is an independent predictor of death and MACE in CKD patients, in whom the predominant cardiac abnormality is diastolic impairment. LAs is a prognostic biomarker, reflecting alterations in diastolic function in CKD. Abstract P1709 Figure. Kaplan Meier curve of LAs

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem worldwide with increase in incidence and prevalence. Diabetes and hypertension are the leading cause of CKD worldwide, whereas hypertension is a cause as well as effect of CKD. CKD is a risk factor for cardiovascular events and complications which increase as CKD progress to ESRD [3]. Cardiovascular mortality is 10-20 times more common in ESRD patients on renal replacement therapy as compared to general population. One of the major structural cardiac abnormalities in CKD patients is left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and is associated with increased risk for cardiac ischemia, congestive heart failure, as well as a very strong independent predictor for cardiovascular mortality [4]. Majority patients with CKD die due to cardiovascular events before reaching ESRD due to risk factors [5]. Anemia and hypertension are most consistent with heart failure that causes 2/3rd death of all dialysis patients. ESRD patients do have myriads of structural and functional cardiac abnormalities which include LVH, depressed LV function, regional wall motion abnormality, pericardial effusion and valvular calcification.

Cardiovascular Profile

Background: Frequency of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events increase even in early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study was aimed to understand the cardiovascular profile of patients with CKD.Methods: This observational study was conducted on patients who were admitted with chronic kidney disease in Sri Venkateswara Rama Narayan RUIA Government General Hospital, Tirupati. Patients were classified according to their severity of CKD. All patients had an electrocardiogram and echocardiogram. Results of various biochemical investigations, electrocardiogram and echocardiogram were compared between patients with mild, moderate and severe CKD.Results: Combined diabetes mellitus and hypertension was found to be the most common case of CKD in Authors patient population (43%), followed by diabetes mellitus alone (37%). Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen were found to be significantly higher and creatinine clearance and haemoglobin were significantly lower among patients with severe CKD. Electrocardiography revealed 50% had left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), 30% had tall ‘T’ waves and 15 % had ST-segment changes. Mean inter-ventricular septal end diastole thickness and mean left ventricular mass was found to be significantly in patients with severe CKD as compared to mild CKD.Conclusions: Extensive cardiovascular evaluation of patients with CKD is warranted even if the classical symptoms are not absent and early cardiovascular rehabilitation should be instituted in such patients.

Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease is an important driver of the increased mortality associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Higher left ventricular mass (LVM) predicts increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and total mortality, but previous reviews have shown no clear association between intervention-induced LVM change and all-cause or cardiovascular mortality in CKD. Methods The primary objective of this meta-analysis was to investigate whether treatment-induced reductions in LVM over periods ≥ 12 months were associated with all-cause mortality in patients with CKD. Cardiovascular mortality was investigated as a secondary outcome. Measures of association in the form of relative risks (RRs) with associated variability and precision (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) were extracted directly from each study, when reported, or were calculated based on the published data, if possible, and pooled RR estimates were determined. Results The meta-analysis included 38 trials with duration ≥ 12 months: 6 of erythropoietin stimulating agents treating to higher vs. lower hemoglobin targets, 10 of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors vs. placebo or another blood pressure lowering agent, 14 of modified hemodialysis regimens, and 8 of other types of interventions. All-cause mortality was reported in 116/2385 (4.86%) subjects in intervention groups and 161/2404 (6.70%) subjects in control groups. The pooled RR estimate of the 24 trials ≥ 12 months with ≥ 1 event in ≥ 1 group was 0.72 (95% CI 0.57 to 0.91, p = 0.005), with little heterogeneity across studies. Directionalities of the associations in intervention subgroups were the same. Sensitivity analyses of ≥ 6 months (31 trials), ≥ 9 months (26 trials), and > 12 months (9 trials), and including studies with no events in either group, demonstrated similar risk reductions to the primary analysis. The point estimate for cardiovascular mortality was similar to all-cause mortality, but not statistically significant: RR 0.66, 95% CI 0.38 to 1.15. Conclusions These results suggest that LVM regression may be a useful surrogate marker for benefits of interventions intended to reduce mortality risk in patients with CKD.

Periprocedural bleeding is one of the most frequent complications of percutaneours coronary interventions. We assessed the relation between blood transfusion and all-cause mortality or incident cardiovascular events (death, MI, stroke) among 6103 patients of the Evaluation of Oral Xemilofiban in Controlling Thrombotic Events (EXCITE)-trial. Subjects were followed for 7 months after enrollment for the occurrence of events. Multivariate Cox-regression analysis evaluated the independent association of blood transfusion with each outcome adjusted for age, gender, race, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, history of MI, PCI, CABG, heart failure, LVEF<30%, use of beta-blockers, statins, ACE-inhibitors, platelet inhibitors and allocation to treatment with xemolifiban. In addition, propensity score analyses were performed (ROC 0.80). Mean age was 59.2 years, 21.7% were female, and 18.9% had diabetes mellitus. Of the169 patients who received blood transfusion, 14 (8.3%) died and 42 (24.9%) experienced a CVD event. Of the 5934 patients without transfusion, 65 (1.1%) died (p-value: <0.001) and 555 (9,4%) experienced a CVD event (p-value: <0.001) In multivariate analysis, blood transfusion was associated with a 5.3 fold increased risk of mortality (HR 5.3; 95% CI 2.8 –10.2), and a 2.5 fold increased risk of incident CVD (HR 2.5; 95% CI 1.7–3.4.) Noteworthy, patients who were US citizens had a higher transfusion rate then non-US citizens (OR 1.45, 95%CI 1.02–2.06) The need of blood transfusion is a strong and independent predictor of all-cause mortality and incident CVD events among patients undergoing PCI.

Abstract: 967 employees of locomotive crews (drivers and their assistants of the Sverdlovsk railway of JSC «Russian Railways») were examined. It was revealed that CKD occurs in 12, 09% of employees of locomotive crews. As the CKD stage increases, the progression of changes in the cardiovascular system was found in locomotive crew workers. A high percentage of the prognostically unfavorable variant of left ventricular remodeling - eccentric myocardial hypertrophy (25% - 39.1%, depending on the stage of CKD) was found. These changes may be a factor of adverse cardiovascular events in employees of locomotive crews, which must be taken into account when admitting to professional activities.

Significant Difference

Several studies have shown that both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus are risk factors for mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study was undertaken to investigate influence of CKD on the prognostic significance of diabetes in patients with AMI. Between January 1996 and December 2005, 888 patients with AMI underwent coronary angiography within 24 hours after the onset of chest pain. CKD was difined estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 60.0 ml/minute/1.73 m 2 of body-surface area (stage3–5). Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare 5-year survival of diabetic and non-diabetic patients, in the presence (n=337) or absence (n=551). Kaplan-Meier curves for 5-year survival rate are shown in Figure . In the absence of CKD, there was no significant difference in 5-year survival rate between patients with diabetes and those without (93 % v.s. 94 %, p=0.82). In patients with CKD, however, diabetes was associated with lower 5-year survival rate (65 % v.s. 87 %, p<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that diabetes was an independent predictor for 5-year survival in patients with CKD (OR 3.2, 95%CI 1.8–5.8, p=0.0002), but not in patients without CKD (OR 1.1, 95%CI 0.4–2.5, p=0.82). Diabetes mellitus was an independent predictor for death after AMI in patients with CKD. Aggressive treatment after AMI should be advocated in diabetic patients with CKD.

Background and Objectives: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) exhibit a highly increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Subtle changes in left ventricular function can be detected by two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). This study investigated whether myocardial dysfunction detected by 2D STE may aid in CV and all-cause mortality risk assessment in patients with CKD stages 3 and 4. Method: A study group of 285 patients (CKD 3: 193 patients; CKD 4: 92 patients) and a healthy control group (34 participants) were included in the retrospective study. 2D STE values as well as early and late diastolic strain rates were measured in ventricular longitudinal, circumferential and radial directions. Patients’ CV and all-cause outcome was determined. Results: In the CKD group all measured longitudinal STE values and radial strain were significantly reduced compared to the control group. Cox proportional hazards regression revealed global longitudinal strain to predict CV and all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.15, 95% CI 1.06–1.25; p = 0.0008 and HR 1.09, 95% CI 1.04–1.14; p = 0.0003). After adjustment for sex, age, diabetes, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and preexisting CV disease, this association was maintained for CV mortality and all-cause mortality (HR 1.16, 95% CI 1.06–1.27; p = 0.0019 and HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.03–1.14; p = 0.0026, respectively). Conclusions: The present study shows that 2D STE detects reduced left ventricular myocardial function and allows the prediction of CV and all-cause mortality in patients at CKD stages 3 and 4.
