Abstract Background Drug use-related infective endocarditis (IE) has nearly doubled in the past two decades in the United States, largely due to the current opioid crisis. Although there are robust data on surgical outcomes for people who use drugs (PWUD) vs. non-PWUD patients after an initial encounter for IE, long-term comparative data on post-IE outcomes are relatively sparse. Methods Using data from the TriNetX electronic health records network, we identified (1) a cohort of patients 16 to 64 years old who had a first encounter for IE (captured with ICD-10 codes I33, I38, or I39) and history of drug use (captured with ICD-10 codes F11, F13-F16, F18, F19, O99.32, or T40) preceding the IE episode and (2) a propensity score-matched cohort of patients age 16-64 who had a first episode of IE and no documented drug use. We compared the post-IE incidence of (1) mortality; (2) ischemic stroke; (3) intracranial hemorrhage; (4) myocardial infarction; (5) heart failure; and (6) sudden cardiac death (cardiac arrest or ventricular fibrillation or tachycardia) between the 2 cohorts over a 5-year follow up period. We matched the cohorts for demographic data and clinically relevant medical history. We used Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox models to compare incidence. Results We identified 6,578 PWUD patients and 6,578 matched non-PWUD patients 16-64 years old with a first episode of IE. The baseline characteristics are summarized in Table 1. Standardized mean differences of characteristics were generally < 0.1, indicating adequate matching. The 5-year Kaplan-Meier rates of outcomes of interest are summarized in Table 2. Mortality did not differ between cohorts. However, the incidence of ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage was consistently higher among PWUD throughout the 5-year follow-up. Rates of myocardial infarction were also higher among PWUD; however, the difference was more pronounced later during follow-up. Rates of heart failure and sudden cardiac death did not differ. Conclusion Cardiovascular events after IE were common among both PWUD and non-PWUD patients over a 5-year follow-up period. However, rates of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke were consistently higher among PWUD. Further investigation is needed to elucidate the sources of elevated stroke risk among PWUD and identify targets for intervention. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Abstract Background Chronic total occlusion (CTO) in a non-infarct-related artery (IRA) is one of the risk factors for mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, there are limited data comparing the long-term outcomes of patients underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (s-PCI) with patients having medical therapy (MT) in CTO lesion after AMI PCI. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 330 patients (n=166 in s-PCI group and n=164 in MT group) with CTO in a non-IRA from a total of 4372 patients who underwent PCI after AMI from July 2011 to July 2019 in our center (Figure 1). Propensity matching (119 matched pairs) was used to adjust for baseline differences. Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) on follow-up were defined as the composite of cardiac death, all cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and any revascularization. Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to evaluate the long-term outcomes between s-PCI and MT group. Results The patients in MT group were older, more likely to be diagnosed as STEMI, had lower eGFR and higher peak troponin T level during AMI compared with s-PCI group. Furthermore, in MT group, the involvement of LAD as IRA (50.6% vs 38.6%, p=0.028) and LCX as CTO vessel (45.1% vs 27.1%, p=0.001) was more frequent than in s-PCI group, and thus the involvement of LAD as CTO vessel was less frequent (28.9% vs 39.8%, p<0.001). During a median follow-up period of 946 days, patients in s-PCI group had significantly lower incidences of cardiac death (3.0% vs 10.4%, p=0.017) and all cause death (5.4% vs 14.0%, p=0.030) when compared with patients in MT group. Moreover, after PSM, patients in s-PCI group still showed lower incidence of cardiac death (2.5% vs 9.2%, p=0.04). The incidence of MI, stroke, revascularization and MACCE showed no significant difference between the two groups both before and after PSM. In multivariate analysis, age (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.02–1.10, p=0.003) and LVEF<50% (HR 4.71, 95% CI 1.72–12.90, p=0.003) showed significant correlation with long term cardiac death, however, successful CTO PCI showed borderline significance (HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.15–1.16, p=0.095). In subgroup analysis, Kaplan–Meier curve showed s-PCI group had a lower incidence of cardiac death compared with MT in patients with LVEF<50% both before (p=0.011) and after PSM (p=0.045). However, no difference was observed between two groups in patients with LVEF≥50%. Conclusions In our center, s-PCI of CTO in non-IRA after AMI PCI showed better long-term cardiac survival as compared with MT. Moreover, patients with low LVEF may be benefit from CTO PCI in non-IRA.

Abstract Background Three-dimensional (3D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is a novel method for assessing cardiac function because of free form out-of-plane motion effects. Aim To explore the role of 3D-STE for prediction of the long term prognosis in patients with a first-time ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods A total of 238 patients (mean age 64.6 years) with a first-time STEMI treated with reperfusion therapy were enrolled in our study. Twenty four hours after admission, standard 2D echocardiography and 3D full volume imaging were obtained and strain parameters (GLS: global longitudinal strain, GCS: global circumferential strain) were calculated using 4D LV analysis. Infarct size was measured with single-photon emission computed tomography imaging 7 to 14 days after onset. We followed them for median 94 months (inter quartile range: 69–109 months). The primary end point was the major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACE: cardiac death, non-fatal MI, heart failure requiring intravenous diuretics administration and stroke). The patients with persistent chronic atrial fibrillation, poor image quality, emergency bypass surgery were excluded. Results During follow up periods, 78 patients experienced MACE (26 cardiac death, 48 heart failure, 29 non-fatal MI, 5 stroke) and 48 patients died (22 non-cardiac death). In multivariate analysis, 3D-GLS was the strongest predictor for MACE. Kaplan-Meier Curve demonstrated that 3D-GLS >−11.4 was the independent predictor for MACE (Log-rank χ2=73.818, p<0.0001). When combined with 3D-GCS >−19.2, the patients with higher value both of 3D-GLS and 3D-GCS were extremely high risk. The figure shows the Kaplan-Meier curve according to the 4 groups based on the cut-off values determinded by ROC curves. Conclusions Global strain estimated by 3D-STE immediately onset of STEMI was useful tool for the prediction of long term prognosis. Acknowledgement/Funding None

Abstract Background New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been associated with poor survival, but the clinical implication of NOAF on subsequent heart failure (HF) is still not well studied. We aimed to investigate the relationship between NOAF following AMI and HF hospitalization. Methods This retrospective cohort study was conducted between February 2014 and March 2018, using data from the New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction in ShangHai registry, where all participants did not have a documented AF history. Patients with AMI who discharged alive and had complete echocardiography and follow-up data were analyzed. The primary outcome was HF hospitalization, which was defined as a minimum of an overnight hospital stay of a participant who presented with symptoms and signs of HF or received intravenous diuretics. Results A total of 2075 patients were included, of whom 228 developed NOAF during the index AMI hospitalization. During up to 5 years of follow-up (median: 2.7 years), 205 patients (9.9%) experienced HF hospitalization and 220 patients (10.6%) died. The incidence rate of HF hospitalization among patients with NOAF was 18.4% per year compared with 2.8% per year for those with sinus rhythm. After adjustment for confounders, NOAF was significantly associated with HF hospitalization (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.14, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.30–4.28; p&lt;0.001). Consistent result was observed after accounting for the competing risk of all-cause death (subdistribution HR: 3.06, 95% CI: 2.18–4.30; p&lt;0.001) or performing a propensity score adjusted multivariable model (HR: 3.28, 95% CI: 2.39–4.50; p&lt;0.001). Furthermore, the risk of HF hospitalization was significantly higher in patients with persistent NOAF (HR: 5.81; 95% CI: 3.59–9.41) compared with that in those with transient NOAF (HR: 2.61; 95% CI: 1.84–3.70; p interaction = 0.008). Conclusion NOAF complicating AMI is strongly associated with an increased long-term risk of heart.

AbstractBackground:Acute and transient psychotic disorders (ATPD) are characterized by an acute onset and a remitting course, and overlap with subgroups of the clinical high-risk state for psychosis. The long-term course and outcomes of ATPD are not completely clear.Methods:Electronic health record-based retrospective cohort study, including all patients who received a first index diagnosis of ATPD (F23, ICD-10) within the South London and Maudsley (SLaM) National Health Service Trust, between 1 st April 2006 and 15th June 2017. The primary outcome was risk of developing persistent psychotic disorders, defined as the development of any ICD-10 diagnoses of non-organic psychotic disorders. Cumulative risk of psychosis onset was estimated through Kaplan-Meier failure functions (non-competing risks) and Greenwood confidence intervals.Results:A total of 3074 patients receiving a first index diagnosis of ATPD (F23, ICD-10) within SLaM were included. The mean follow-up was 1495 days. After 8-year, 1883 cases (61.26%) retained the index diagnosis of ATPD; the remaining developed psychosis. The cumulative incidence (Kaplan-Meier failure function) of risk of developing any ICD-10 non-organic psychotic disorder was 16.10% at 1-year (95%CI 14.83–17.47%), 28.41% at 2-year (95%CI 26.80–30.09%), 33.96% at 3-year (95% CI 32.25–35.75%), 36.85% at 4-year (95%CI 35.07–38.69%), 40.99% at 5-year (95% CI 39.12–42.92%), 42.58% at 6-year (95%CI 40.67–44.55%), 44.65% at 7-year (95% CI 42.66–46.69%), and 46.25% at 8-year (95% CI 44.17–48.37%). The cumulative risk of schizophrenia-spectrum disorder at 8-year was 36.14% (95% CI 34.09–38.27%).Conclusions:Individuals with ATPD have a very high risk of developing persistent psychotic disorders and may benefit from early detection and preventive treatments to improve their outcomes.

Introduction: The association between baseline patient characteristics and the long-term utilization of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is unknown and may help focus value-based care initiatives. Methods: TTE reports from patients with ≥ 2 TTEs at our institution were linked to 100% Medicare Fee-for-service inpatient claims, 1/1/2000 – 12/31/2017. To avoid inclusion of individuals with short-interval follow-up, TTEs with < 1 year between studies were excluded. Validated claims algorithms were used to create 12 baseline cardiovascular comorbidities. Multivariable Poisson regression was used to estimate adjusted rates of TTE intensity according to baseline comorbidities. Results: Over a median (IQR) follow-up of 5.8 (3.1 – 9.5) years, 18,579 individuals (69.3 ± 12.8 years; 50.5% female) underwent a total of 59,759 TTEs (range 2 – 59). The median TTE intensity was 0.64 TTEs/patient/year (IQR 0.35 – 1.24; range 0.11 – 22.02). The top five contributors to TTE intensity were heart failure, chronic kidney disease, history of myocardial infarction, smoking, and hyperlipidemia ( Figure ). Female sex was associated with decreased TTE utilization (adjusted RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.94-0.96, p < 0.0001). Atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and history of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack were not significantly related to TTE intensity after multivariable adjustment (all p > 0.05). Conclusions: Among Medicare beneficiaries with ≥ 2 TTEs at our institution, the median TTE intensity was 0.64 TTEs/patient/year but varied widely. Heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and history of myocardial infarction were the strongest predictors of increased utilization. Female sex was associated with decreased utilization, reflecting broader disparities in utilization of cardiovascular procedures. Further research is needed to clarify reasons for this sex disparity and associations with cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract Background/Introduction Machine learning (ML) allows objective integration of clinical and imaging data for the prediction of events. ML prediction of cardiovascular events in asymptomatic subjects over long-term follow-up, utilizing quantitative CT measures of coronary artery calcium (CAC) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) have not yet been evaluated. Purpose To analyze the ability of machine learning to integrate clinical parameters with coronary calcium and EAT quantification in order to improve prediction of myocardial infarction (MI) and cardiac death in asymptomatic subjects. Methods We assessed 2071 consecutive subjects [1230 (59%) male, age: 56.049.03] from the EISNER (Early Identification of Subclinical Atherosclerosis by Noninvasive Imaging Research) trial with long-term follow-up after non-enhanced cardiac CT. CAC (Agatston) score, age-and-gender-adjusted CAC percentile, and aortic calcium scores were obtained. EAT volume and density were quantified using a fully automated deep learning method. Extreme gradient boosting, a ML algorithm, was trained using demographic variables, plasma lipid panel measurements, risk factors as well as CAC, aortic calcium and EAT measures from CAC CT scans. ML was validated using 10-fold cross validation; event prediction was evaluated using area-under-receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression. Optimal ML cut-point for risk of MI and cardiac death was determined by highest Youden's index (sensitivity + specificity – 1). Results At 152 years' follow-up, 76 events of MI and/or cardiac death had occurred. ML obtained a significantly higher AUC than the ASCVD risk and CAC score in predicting events (ML: 0.81; ASCVD: 0.76, p<0.05; CAC: 0.75, p<0.01, Figure A). ML performance was mostly driven by age, ASCVD risk and calcium as shown by the variable importance (Figure B); however, all variables with non-zero gain contributed to the ML performance. ML achieved a sensitivity and specificity of 77.6% and 73.5%, respectively. For an equal specificity, ASCVD and CAC scores obtained a sensitivity of 61.8% and 67.1%, respectively. High ML risk was associated with a high risk of suffering an event by Cox regression (HR: 9.25 [95% CI: 5.39–15.87], p<0.001; survival curves in Figure C). The relationships persisted when adjusted for age, gender, CAC, CAC percentile, aortic calcium score, and ASCVD risk score; with a hazard ratio of 3.42 for high ML risk (HR: 3.42 [95% CI: 1.54–7.57], p=0.002). Conclusion(s) Machine learning used to integrate clinical and quantitative imaging-based variables significantly improves prediction of MI and cardiac death in asymptomatic subjects undergoing CAC assessment, compared to standard risk assessment methods.

Abstract The new European Society of Cardiology guideline for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction recommends that left and right bundle branch block should be considered equal for recommending urgent angiography in patients with suspected myocardial infarction. This consideration is not taken into account in the management of patients with coronary syndrome without ST elevation (NSTEMI). We evaluate the evolution of patients with acute coronary syndrome and long-term bundle branch block. Patients and methods We included 8771 patients admitted to two tertiary hospitals between 2003 and 2017 with an acute coronary syndrome, 5673 NSTEMI (64.3%) and 3098 STEMI (35.7%). All patients had an ECG recorded immediately upon admission. Patients were classified as having right bundle branch block (RBBB), left bundle branch block (LBBB). Long-term follow-up was performed (median 55 months) to assess mortality. Results A total of 8771 patients were included with a mean age of 66.1 years, 72.5% males, 4.1% (362) with LBBB and 5% (440) with RBBB. Patients with BBB were older, with more previous history of myocardial infarction and coronary revascularization and higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. Medical treatment was similar but they were less often submitted to angioplasty. During the acute phase, patients with RBBB and LBBB presented a higher rate of heart failure than those without branch block (4.8% vs 9.1% vs 3.5%, p=0.0001); higher mortality (8.4% vs 10.5% vs 3.0%, p=0.0001); higher stroke rate (2.5% vs 1.4% vs 0.8%, p=0.001); higher rate of renal failure (8.2% vs 9.7% vs 3.9%, p=0.0001) and higher rate of reinfarction (3.0% vs 4.1% vs 1.7%, p=0.001). Patients who had a RBBB or an LBBB had a worse prognosis throughout the follow-up. Heart failure was present in 17.7% of the group with RBBB, 29.6% of LBBB and 11% in the group without branch block (p=0.0001). Mortality during follow-up was 31% in RBBB, 40.6% in LBBB and 18.7% without branch block (p=0.0001). In multivariate analysis of Cox, both RBBB (HR 1.55, 95% CI 1.23–1.98, p=0.0001) and LBBB (HR 1.48, 95% CI 1.22–1.53, p=0.001) were an independent predictors of all-cause mortality (adjustment for GRACE score, gender, treatment with betablockers, angiotensin conversor enzym inhibitors, statin and coronary revascularization). Cox regression model multivariate Conclusions The presence of RBBB or LBBB in the ECG of patients with an ACS is associated with a worse prognosis both during the hospital phase and in the long term. In addition, both bundle branch blocks are independent predictors of long-term mortality in patients with ACS.
