The aim. To study the risk factors for hospital mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome with ST-segment elevation (STEACS) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS).Materials and methods. A total of 104 patients with STEACS complicated by CS were studied. The follow-up group (group I) included 58 (55,8%) patients who died in hospital (mean age 71,8±7,31 years), the comparison group (group II) – 46 patients, who have been treated and discharged (mean age 59,5±6,18 years). All patients underwent general clinical studies, the level of troponins, lipids, glucose, creatinine in plasma was determined, electrocardiography and echocardiography were performed. Coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were urgently performed. The method of binary logistic regression with the determination of the odds ratio and its 95% confidence interval for each reliable variable was used to identify risk factors for hospital mortality.Results. In group I patients with CS, compared with group II, patients over the age of 70 (32 (55,2%) vs 10 (22,7%), р=0,0004), with concomitant chronic kidney disease (32 (55,2%) vs 9 (19,6%), p=0,0002), postinfarction cardiosclerosis (30 (51,7%) vs 9 (19,6%), р=0,001) and chronic heart failure of III-IV functional class (32 (55,1%) vs 11 (23,9%), p=0,001) were significantly more often observed. Baseline levels of plasma leukocytes, troponin and creatinine were significantly higher in deceased patients with CS. Left ventricular ejection fraction below 40% was observed more often in the follow-up group than in the comparison group (46 (79,3%) vs 27 (58,7%), p=0,022). In group I, compared with group II, there was a higher incidence of three-vessel coronary lesions (36 (75%) vs 12 (26,1%), p=0,0001) and chronic coronary artery occlusion unrelated to STEACS (25 (52,1%) vs 12 (26,1%), р=0,009). The same trend was observed when assessing the average number of stenoses and occlusions of the coronary arteries. PCI was performed in 43 (74,1%) of the deceased and 43 (93,5%) of the surviving STEACS patients with CS (p=0,009). The follow-up group had a higher rate of unsuccessful PCI (30,2%) vs 3 (7%), р=0,001) and performed later than 6 hours after the onset of an angina attack (28 (65,1%) vs 6 (14%), р=0,0001).Summary. Hospital mortality in patients with STEMI complicated by CS was associated with the presence left ventricular ejection fraction less than 40%, three-vessel coronary lesion and performing PCI later than 6 hours from the beginning of the pain attack.

Long Term Follow Up

Aim To study a relationship of several factors (clinical and genetical markers) with unfavorable outcomes in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) in long-term follow-up.Material and methods This full-design, prospective study included 415 patients with NSTE-ACS. 266 patients were evaluated for the presence of multifocal atherosclerosis (MFA). Typing of polymorphic variants rs1041981 LTA, rs1800629 TNF, rs4986790, and rs498679 TLR4, and also rs3024491 and rs1800872 IL10 was performed. Follow-up period lasted for 67±4 months. By the end of this period, information about clinical outcomes for 396 patients became available.Results During the entire follow-up period, unfavorable outcomes were observed in 239 (57.5 %) patients with NSTE-ACS. The following clinical signs were associated with unfavorable outcomes: history of myocardial infarction, age >56 years, left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) ≤50 % and GRACE score ≥100, significant stenosis of brachiocephalic arteries, MFA, carriage of genotype А / А rs1041981 LTA (OR, 6.1; р=0.02) and allele А (OR, 1.9; р=0.01). According to results of a multifactorial analysis, the most significant predictors included LV EF <50 %, MFA, and carriage of genotype А / А rs1041981 LTA.Conclusion Stratification of patients with NSTE-ACS into groups of high or low risk for having an unfavorable outcome within the next 6 years is possible using the prognostic model developed and presented in this study. The model includes the following signs: LV EF <50 %, MFA, and carriage of genotype А / А rs1041981 LTA.

Abstract Background: Admission hyperglycemia has been associated with major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Methods: In this study we sought to determine the association between admission blood sugar (ABS) and the outcomes of non-diabetic patients with first-ever acute myocardial infarction (MI). Non-diabetic patients with MI were evaluated from March 2016 to March 2019. Baseline characteristics, laboratories, electrocardiogram, and baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were recorded. All patients were followed up and outcomes were obtained. Follow-up data comprised of repeating electrocardiogram and echocardiography at 1 year, and MACCE, including re-MI, stroke, and mortality. Results: A total of 312 patients with a mean age of 54.2 ± 11.9 years were evaluated. All patients were followed up for a median of 38 months. The frequencies of in-hospital mortality and MACCE at late follow-up were higher in third tertile of ABS compared with those in first and second tertiles (both p <0.05). Based on the Cox regression analysis, the independent predictors of MACCE included age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.068, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.033 – 1.105, p <0.001), third tertile of ABS >172 mg/dL (HR 21.257, 95% CI 2.832 – 159.577, p=0.003), and baseline LVEF (HR 0.947, 95% CI 0.901 – 0.995, p=0.031). Conclusion: Admission stress hyperglycemia is associated with increased rates of in-hospital mortality and MACCE at late follow-up in non-diabetic patients with MI. Moreover, elevated ABS, older ages, and a decreased value of baseline LVEF predicted MACCE during follow-up.

Abstract OBJECTIVES There has been increasing interest in using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to rescue patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) in the advanced stages of respiratory or haemodynamic decompensation. We examined mid-term outcomes and risk factors for in-hospital mortality. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of 36 patients who required ECMO placement (32 veno-arterial ECMO, 4 veno-venous) following acute PE. Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Risk factors for in-hospital mortality were assessed by logistic regression analysis. Functional status and quality of life were assessed by phone questionnaire. RESULTS Overall survival to hospital discharge was 44.4% (16/36). Two-year survival conditional to discharge was 94% (15/16). Two-year survival after veno-arterial ECMO was 39% (13/32). In patients supported with veno-venous ECMO, survival to discharge was 50%, and both patients were alive at follow-up. In univariable analysis, a history of recent surgery (P = 0.064), low left ventricular ejection fraction (P = 0.029), right ventricular dysfunction ≥ moderate at weaning (P = 0.083), on-going cardiopulmonary resuscitation at ECMO placement (P = 0.053) and elevated lactate at weaning (P = 0.002) were risk factors for in-hospital mortality. In multivariable analysis, recent surgery (P = 0.018) and low left ventricular ejection fraction at weaning (P = 0.013) were independent factors associated with in-hospital mortality. At a median follow-up of 23 months, 10 patients responded to our phone survey; all had acceptable functional status and quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Massive acute PE requiring ECMO support is associated with high early mortality, but patients surviving to hospital discharge have excellent mid-term outcomes with acceptable functional status and quality of life. ECMO can provide a stable platform to administer other intervention with the potential to improve outcomes. Risk factors for in-hospital mortality after PE and veno-arterial ECMO support were identified.

Background: Decision of intervention for low gradient severe aortic stenosis (AS) with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is clinically challenging. The study was to determine the impact of stroke volume index (SVi) on prognosis in patients (pts) with AS. Methods: We examined 410 pts with moderate or severe AS and normal EF (≥50%). Pts were divided into four groups based on aortic valve area (AVA), mean pressure gradient (MPG) and SVi: Group I: low flow low gradient severe AS (AVA≤1.0cm 2 , MPG<40mmHg and SVi<35mL/m 2 , n=75); Group II: normal flow low gradient severe AS (AVA≤1.0cm 2 , MPG<40mmHg and SVi≥35mL/m 2 , n=97); Group III: severe AS with matched gradient-AVA (AVA≤1.0cm 2 and MPG≥40mmHg, n=88); Group IV: moderate AS (AVA>1.0cm 2 and MPG>20mmHg, <40 mmHg, n=150). Aortic valve gradients, AVA and SVi were assessed by echocardiography. Clinical charts were reviewed. Mean follow-up duration was 3.2±1.6 years. Results: Group I had higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation, more pronounced LV hypertrophy, lower SVi, smaller AVA, higher valvuloarterial impedance (Zva) (Table) and lower 3-year cumulative survival compared to Group II and Group IV (61% vs. 75% and 80%, p=0.004). Group II had a 3-year cumulative survival similar to moderate AS (75% vs. 80%, p>0.05). In pts with medical management, Group I and Group III had lower 3-year cumulative survival in comparison with Group II and Group IV (48% and 56% vs. 73% and 76%, p=0.001). Multivariate analysis showed SVi was a strong predictor of mortality in low gradient severe AS (HR 0.95, CI: 0.91-0.99, P=0.02). However, in gradient-AVA matched severe AS and moderate AS, SVi was not associated with mortality (p>0.05). Conclusions: Without AS intervention, low flow low gradient severe AS with normal EF carries poor prognosis similar to high gradient AS, but normal flow low gradient AS does not, suggesting that SVi may be used to identify the pts benefiting most from AS intervention in pts with low gradient AS.

Staging Classification

Abstract Introduction Recently a multidisciplinary group of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) derived a new classification schema for cardiogenic shock (CS), simple, clinically based and suitable for rapid assessment at the bedside but also arbitrary. Validation in different clinical datasets, specifically in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), is necessary to establish the utility of this proposed classification schema. Purpose We aimed to evaluate the ability of a new SCAI CS staging classification to predict in-hospital mortality in patients with ADHF. Methods We conducted a single-center cohort study, performing a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of consecutive patients admitted with ADHF as a primary diagnosis between January 2015 and January 2019. We excluded patients who were hospitalized for an acute coronary syndrome. Patients were assigned to the modified SCAI Classification for CS: Stage A is “at risk” for CS, stage B is “beginning” shock, stage C is “classic”, stage D is “deteriorating”, and E is “extremis”, and in-hospital mortality was evaluated for each group. All-cause mortality was compared across SCAI stages using Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank test. Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine the association between SCAI stages and in-hospital mortality after adjusting for age, gender, left ventricular ejection fraction, use of vasoactive medication, mechanical circulatory assist devices, mechanical ventilation, percutaneous coronary intervention and cardiac surgery. Results Among 668 patients with a mean age of 74.9±12 years, 63.9% were male. In-hospital mortality was 11.2%. According to SCAI classification, the proportion of patients in stages A through E was 51.7%, 26.7%, 14.4%, 4.6% and 2.5%. The unadjusted mortality in each stages was: A 0.6%, B 4.5%, C 32.3%, D 61.3%, and E 88.2% (Log Rank P&lt;0.0001). After multivariable adjustment, each SCAI shock stage remained associated with increased in-hospital mortality (all P&lt;0.001 compared to stage A). Compared with SCAI shock stage A, adjusted hazard ratio (HR) values in SCAI shock stages B through E were 5.2, 31, 107, and 185, respectively (Figure). Conclusion In this large clinical cohort of patients with ADHF exclusively, the new SCAI CS staging classification was associated with in-hospital mortality. This finding supports the rationale of the classification in this setting, further prospective trials are needed to validate these findings.

9569 Background: NT-Pro BNP provides diagnostic and prognostic information in many heart syndromes, but its role in oncologic patients is not established. Methods: We studied the association between NT-ProBNP levels and the risk of major toxicity associated with chemotherapy and death from all causes in 116 consecutive patients with lymphoma treated with curative intent. High resolution ultrasound echocardiography and serum NT-ProBNP levels were prospectively done previous the start of chemotherapy. Charlson Comorbidity Index was retrospectively calculated. A major toxicity event was defined as: when chemotherapy had to be discontinued, when chemotherapy had to be changed to a less intensive regimen, and treatment-related death. Results: High blood levels of NT-proBNP were associated with previous cardiologic history but not with left ventricular ejection fraction. With a median follow-up of 16 moths (0–49 months), 25 patients had a major toxic event with first line chemotherapy and 16 had died at last follow-up. The threshold of NT-ProBNP with better predictive accuracy for major toxicity-free and overall survival was 900 pg/mL. Patients with levels of NT-proBNP greater of 900 pg/mL had an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for major toxicity after first-line chemotherapy for lymphoma of 6.4 (95%CI, 2.7–15.1). Two additional independent factors predicting higher major toxicity associated with chemotherapy were albumin < 3.5 g/mL (HR 3.5, P=0.008) and number of extranodal sites ≥ 2 (HR 3.1, P<0.007). For prediction of death from all causes, patients with a NT-ProBNP greater of 900 pg/mL had an HR of death of 15.3 (95%CI, 4.8–48.8; P<0.001). ECOG ≥ 2 was also significant for predicting death (HR 3.6; 95%CI, 1.1–11.6; P=0.03). The NT-Pro BNP added prognostic information beyond that provided by conventional risk factors, including IPI, left ventricular ejection fraction and Charlson comorbidity index. Conclusions: NT-ProBNP is the stronger marker for predicting major toxicity after first-line chemotherapy and death from all causes in patients with lymphoma and provides prognostic information beyond that provided by conventional lymphoma risk factors and comorbidity indexes. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Aims Data on long-term follow-up of patients with Chagas’ heart disease (ChHD) receiving a secondary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) are limited and its benefit is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of ChHD patients who received a secondary prevention ICD. Methods and results We assessed the outcomes of consecutive ChHD patients referred to our Institution from 2006 to 2014 for a secondary prevention ICD [89 patients; 58 men; mean age 56 ± 11 years; left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), 42 ± 12%]. The primary outcome included a composite of death from any cause or heart transplantation. After a mean follow-up of 59 ± 27 months, the primary outcome occurred in 23 patients (5.3% per year). Multivariate analysis showed that LVEF < 35% [hazard ratio (HR) 4.64; P < 0.01] and age ≥ 65 years (HR 3.19; P < 0.01) were independent predictors of the primary outcome. Using these two risk factors, a risk score was developed, and lower- (no risk factors), intermediate- (one risk factor), and higher-risk (two risk factors) groups were recognized with an annual rate of primary outcome of 1.4%, 7.4%, and 20.4%, respectively. A high burden of appropriate ICD therapies (16% per year) and electrical storms were documented, however, ICD interventions did not impact on the primary outcome. Conclusion Among ChHD patients receiving a secondary prevention ICD, older age (≥65 years) and left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF < 35%) portend a poor outcome and were associated with increased risk of death or heart transplantation. Most patients received appropriate ICD therapies, however, ICD interventions did not impact on the primary outcome.

Abstract Background Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is associated with the presence and severity of coronary artery disease independently of clinical risk factors, which leads to increased cardiovascular mortality. However, the prevalence of AS and its prognostic value among patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remain unknown. Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and prognostic impact of AS in AMI patients. Methods We studied 2,803 AMI patients using data from Mie ACS registry, a prospective and multicenter registry. Patients were divided into subgroups according to the presence and severity of AS based on maximal aortic flow rate by Doppler echocardiography before hospital discharge: non-AS <2.0 m/s, 2.0 m/s≤mild AS <3.0 m/s, 3.0 m/s≤moderate AS <4.0m/s and severe AS≥4.0 m/s. The primary outcome was defined as 2-year all-cause mortality. Results AS was detected in 79 patients (2.8%) including 49 mild AS, 23 moderate AS and 6 severe AS. AS patients were significantly older (79.9±9.8 versus 68.3±12.6 years), and higher killip classification than non-AS patients (P<0.01, respectively). However, left ventricular ejection fraction, and prevalence of primary PCI was similar between the 2 groups. During the follow-up periods (median 725 days), 333 (11.9%) patients experienced all-cause death. AS patients demonstrated the higher all-cause mortality rate compared to that of non-AS patients during follow up (47.3% versus 11.3%, P<0.0001, chi square). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the probability of all-cause mortality was significantly higher among AS patients than non-AS patients, and was highest among moderate and severe AS (See figure A and B). Cox regression analyses for all-cause mortality demonstrated that the severity of AS was the strongest and independent poor prognostic factor (HR 1.71, 95% CI 1.30–2.24, P<0.001, See table). Cox hazard regression analysis Hazard ratio 95% Confidential interval P-value Severity of aortic valve stenosis 1.71 1.30–2.24 <0.001 Killip classification 1.63 1.46–1.82 <0.001 Age 1.07 1.06–1.09 <0.001 Serum creatinine level 1.05 1.03–1.08 <0.001 Max CPK level 1.00 1.00–1.01 <0.001 Left ventricular ejection fraction 0.96 0.95–0.97 <0.001 Primary percutaneous coronary intervention 0.67 0.47–0.96 0.03 CPK suggests creatinine phosphokinase. All cause mortality Conclusions The presence of AS of any severity contributes to worsening of patients' prognosis following AMI independently of other known risk factors.

В последние годы появляется все больше работ, посвященных снижению воздействия классических факторов риска, негативно сказывающихся на выживаемости с возрастом. Целью исследования была оценка влияния сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний, их факторов риска и структурно-функциональных характеристик сердца на трехлетнюю выживаемость лиц 95 лет и старше. В исследовании участвовали 69 пациентов 95 лет и старше (98±1,9 года), из них 61 (88,4 %) женщина и 8 (11,6 %) мужчин. Через 3 года были получены данные о статусе жизни участников: 25 (36,2 %) были живы и 44 (63,8 %) умерли. По результатам проведенного однофакторного регрессионного анализа было определено, что факторы риска и анамнез сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний не ассоциированы с трехлетней выживаемостью. Однако в трехлетнем периоде риск смерти увеличивался в 3 раза при снижении ДАД <75 мм рт. ст., в 7,8 раза - при снижении ФВ ЛЖ <62 % и в 4,9 раза - при увеличении конечного диастолического размера правого желудочка >2,9 см. In recent years, more and more works have appeared that with age, classic risk factors that negatively affect the prognosis (cardiovascular diseases) lose their influence on life expectancy. The study aimed to assess the influence of cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors and structural and functional characteristics of the heart on three-year survival in people 95 years and older. The study involved 69 patients 95 years and older (98±1,9 years), 61 (88,4 %) were women. After 36 months, data were obtained on the participants’ status of life: 25 (36,2 %) were alive, and 44 (63,8 %) died. Based on the regression analysis results, it was determined that risk factors and history of cardiovascular diseases were not associated with 3-year survival. With a 3-year follow-up, the risk of death increases three times with a decrease in diastolic blood pressure less than 75 mm/Hg, 7,8 times with a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction below 62 %, and 4,9 times with an increase in the end-diastolic size of the right ventricle by more than 2,9 cm.

e24060 Background: Anthracyclines are known to cause long-term cardiotoxicity. There are no specific guidelines for CV screening and follow-up of AYA patients treated with anthracyclines. Pediatric guidelines focus on long-term imaging surveillance, while for adults, LVEF assessment prior to anthracyclines is recommended. Multiple studies have demonstrated LVEF assessment rarely impacts treatment decisions, especially in the absence of CV symptoms/risk factors, adds to unnecessary costs and delays treatment initiation. Our study aimed to determine the pre-treatment LVEF assessment practices in AYA lymphoma patients treated with anthracyclines and its association with long-term cardiotoxicity. Methods: AYA survivors diagnosed with lymphoma > 5 years ago and treated with anthracyclines at age 15-39 years were identified in a retrospective single institution registry. To ensure adequate follow-up, at least 2 follow-up visits during 2015-19 were required. Data abstracted on eligible subjects included documentation of pre-treatment LVEF evaluation, clinical rationale and treatment regimen. CV risk factors and events were collected pre-treatment and during follow-up. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize data. Results: 64/115 (56%) of AYA lymphoma patients underwent pre-treatment LVEF assessment. Rationale for/against LVEF assessment was rarely documented: low CV risk was recorded as rationale for no LVEF assessment in 2 subjects. Among AYAs who underwent pre-treatment LVEF assessment, no significant abnormalities were detected and no changes in subsequent treatment plans were found. During median follow-up of 6.7 (inter-quartile range 5.4-9.5) years, 6/115 (5%) experienced CV events. Only 2 (1.7%) survivors experienced potential anthracycline-related CV events: 1 moderate cardiomyopathy at 9 years, 1 peri-partum cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation due to post-radiation SVC occlusion at 15 years post-treatment. Both these AYAs (aged 38 and 31 years at time of CV events) also had other CV risk factors- family history, smoking, obesity, and hyperlipidemia. Four (3.5%) survivors’ experienced CV events (1 sinus tachyarrhythmia, 1 junctional rhythm, 2 acute/asymptomatic drop in LVEF) unrelated to anthracyclines with clear alternative etiology e.g. sepsis/symptom burden. There was no correlation between having pre-treatment LVEF assessment and occurrence of CV events. 13/115 (11.3%) developed new CV risk factors: 4 hypertension, 6 hyperlipidemia, 3 diabetes. Conclusions: Pre-treatment LVEF assessment is done inconsistently in AYA lymphoma patients but does not impact initial treatment or predict late cardiotoxicity. CV events in long-term AYA lymphoma survivors are rare but evaluation of CV risk factors, early detection and management may be more important than focusing on LVEF assessment.
