Abstract Background and aims Although syncope (S) has been reported as one of the presenting findings in patients (pts) with acute pulmonary embolism (APE), its clinical and haemodynamic correlates and impacts on the long-term outcome in this setting remains to be determined. In this single-centre study we evaluated the clinical and haemodynamic significance of S in APE in initial asessment, and during short- and long-term follow-up period. Methods Our study was based on the retrospective and prospective analysis of the overall 641 pts (age 65 (51–74 IQR) yrs, 56.2% female) with diagnosis of documented APE who underwent anticoagulant (n=207), thrombolytic (n=164), utrasound-facilitated thrombolysis (UFT) (n=218) or rheolytic thrombectomy (RT) (n=52). The systematic work- up including multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), Echo, biomarkers, and PE severity indexes were performed in all pts, and Qanadli score (QS) was used as the measure of the thrombotic burden in the pulmonary arteries (PA). Results The S as the presenting symptom In 30.2% of pts with APE. At baseline assessment, S(+) vs S(−) APE subgroups had a significantly shorter symptom-diagnosis interval, a higher risk status according to the significant elevations in troponin T, D-dimer, the higher PE severity indexes, a more deteriorated right ventricle/left ventricle ratio (RV/LV r), right atrial/left atrial ratio (LA/RAr) and RV longitudinal function indexes including tricuspid annular planary excursion (TAPSE) and tissue velocity (St), a significantly higher PA obstructive burden as assessed by QS and PA pressures. Thrombolytic therapy (36.2% vs 21%, p<0.001) and RT (11.9% vs 6.47%, p=0.037) were more frequently utilized S(+) as compared to S(−) group. However, all these differences between two subgroups were found to disappear after evidence-based APE treatments. In-hospital mortality (IHM) (12.95% vs 6%, p=0.007) and minor bleeding (10.36% vs 2.9%, p<0.001) were significantly higher in S(+) pts as compared to those in S(−) subgroup. Binominal logistic regression analysis revealed that PESI score and RV/LVr independently associated with S while IHM was only predicted by age and heart rate. The COX proportional hazard method showed that RV/LVr at discharge and malignancy were independently associated with cumulative mortality during follow-up duration of 620 (200–1170 IQ) days. Conclusions The presence of S in pts with APE was found to be asociated with a higher PA obstructive burden, a more deteriorated RV function and haemodynamics and higher risk status which may need more agressive reperfusion treatments. However, in the presence of the optimal treatments, S did not predict neither in-hospital outcome, nor long-term mortality. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

AbstractObjectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate the early and late results of atrioventricular valve surgery after Fontan operation.BackgroundAtrioventricular valve regurgitation is a known perioperative risk factor for Fontan operation. There are limited data on the outcomes of late atrioventricular valve surgery following Fontan operation.MethodsPatients who underwent atrioventricular valve surgery following Fontan procedure were identified from the Mayo Clinic Fontan database. Medical records were reviewed for pre-operative, operative, and post-operative clinical and haemodynamic data. All patients not known to be deceased were sent health status questionnaires.ResultsA total of 61 patients (28 females) underwent atrioventricular valve surgery following Fontan procedure. The median age at atrioventricular valve surgery was 14 years. The median duration between Fontan and atrioventricular valve surgery was 4.7 years. Median follow-up was 9 years. There were a total of 32 (52%) deaths with 8 (13%) within 30 days of surgery. The 5-, 10-, and 15-year survival rates were 67%, 57%, and 45%, respectively. On follow-up, 44 of 61 (72%) had arrhythmias, 21 of 29 (72%) were symptomatic, and 12 of 61 (20%) developed protein-losing enteropathy. On multivariate analysis, reduced ventricular function and development of protein-losing enteropathy were associated with decreased survival.ConclusionAtrioventricular valve surgery after Fontan procedure is associated with substantial late morbidity and mortality. Atrioventricular valve surgery in this cohort of patients portends poor long-term outcome and is associated with a high incidence of protein-losing enteropathy. Reduced ventricular function and development of protein-losing enteropathy were associated with decreased survival.

Rv Function

Background: Since survival of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) is closely related to right ventricular (RV) function, assessment of RV function is important for patients with PH. Right atrial (RA) area and/or RA pressure have also been reported to serve as prognostic predictors for adverse outcomes for in PH patient. Accordingly, we tested the hypothesis that the addition of RA remodeling to RV function enhances the capability of the latter to predict long-term outcome for PH patients. Methods: We studied 82 PH patients, all of whom underwent echocardiography and right heart catheterization. RV function was calculated by averaging the three regional peak speckle-tracking longitudinal strains from RV free wall (RV-free). RA remodeling was assessed as the RA area traced planimetrically at end-systole. Pre-defined cutoffs for RV dysfunction and RA remodeling were RV-free≤19.4% and RA area of >18cm2, respectively. Long-term unfavorable outcome events were tracked for 2.0 years. Results: RA area correlated with mean RA pressure (r=0.62, p<0.001), as well as with tricuspid E/E’ (r=0.38, p=0.001). However, RA area with RV restrictive filling was significantly larger than with others (all p<0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with RV-free ≤19.4% had worse long-term outcomes than those with RV-free >19.4% (log-rank p=0.01), as did patients with RA area>18cm2 compared with those with RA area ≤18cm2 (log-rank p<0.05). For sequential Cox models, a model based on hemodynamic parameters of RV performance (χ2 =3.11) was improved by addition of brain natriuretic peptide, World Health Organization functional class (χ2 =9.24; p<0.05), and RV-free (χ2 =17.11; p=0.005), and further improved by addition of RA area (χ2 =21.36, p<0.05). Conclusions: The combined assessment of RV function and RA remodeling results in more accurate prediction of long-term outcome, and may well have clinical implications for better management of PH patients.

Mean Time

Introduction: Heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of the autonomic nervous system activity, is a morbidity and mortality predictor. HRV is decreased in children with atrial septal defects (ASD) indicating parasympathetic withdrawal and sympathetic predominance, and increased right atrial end-diastolic pressure is believed to influence the sympathovagal balance. Despite the belief of a benign long-term outcome after closure, ASD patients have increased mortality rates after the age of 30 yrs. This may correlate to HRV, why we study HRV in adults after closure. Hypothesis: ASD patients have impaired HRV after closure when compared with controls. Methods: Surgically closed ASD patients (n=17, mean age 32±9 yrs., mean time since closure 19±8 yrs.), percutaneously closed ASD patients (n=18, mean age 28±7 yrs., mean time since closure 15±5 yrs.) and age- and gender-matched controls (n=15, mean age 30±9 yrs.) underwent a 48-hr Holter monitoring. Inclusion criteria were an age of minimum 2 yrs. at the time of diagnosis and minimum 3 yrs. must have passed since ASD closure. The following time-domain HRV measures were analyzed: SD of NN intervals (SDNN), SD of the average NN interval for each 5-minute segment, mean of the SDs of all NN intervals for each 5-minute (SDNNi), root mean square of successive RR interval differences (RMSSD), percentage of successive RR intervals that differ by >50 ms (pNN50), and triangular index. Results: Surgically closed ASD patients have an impairment of all time-domain parameters, while transcatheter closed patients have an impairment of half the parameters. Conclusion: These novel findings demonstrate a cardiac sympathovagal imbalance in adult patients several yrs. after ASD closure and may potentially explain why we observe a long-term morbidity and mortality increase in ASD patients.

Long Term Outcome

The clinical presentation of patients with an atrioventricular septal defect depends on whether a significant ventricular component is present. Repair is indicated in childhood. The major determinant of long-term outcome is the success of the left atrioventricular valve repair.
