Abstract Background Cardiac sympathetic nerve dysfunction, which is assessed by I-123 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging, is associated with the poor outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Serial evaluation of cardiac MIBG imaging was shown to be useful for predicting adverse outcome in CHF. However, there was no information available on long-term serial changes of cardiac sympathetic nerve dysfunction after discharge of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) hospitalization. Purpose We aimed to clarify the serial change of cardiac MIBG imaging parameter in long-term after discharge of heart failure hospitalization, especially relating to HFrEF (LVEF<40%), HFmrEF (40%≤LVEF<50%) and HFpEF (LVEF≥50%). Methods We studied 112 patients (HFrEF; n=44, HFmrEF; n=23 and HFpEF; n=45) who were admitted for ADHF, discharged with survival and without heart failure hospitalization during follow-up period. All patients underwent cardiac MIBG imaging at the timing of discharge, in 6–12 months and in 18–24 months after discharge. The cardiac MIBG heart to mediastinum ratio (H/M) was calculated on the early image and the delayed image (late H/M). The cardiac MIBG washout rate (WR) was calculated from the early and delayed planar images after taking radioactive decay of I-123 into consideration. Results In HFrEF patients, late H/M was significantly improved from discharge to 6–12 months data (1.60±0.24 vs 1.75±0.31, p<0.0001). Late H/M of HFmrEF patients was also significantly improved from discharge to 18–24 months data (1.71±0.27 vs 1.84±0.29 p=0.043). On the other hand, late H/M of HFpEF patients was not significantly changed. As for WR, WR in HFrEF and HFmrEF patients was significantly improved from discharge to 18–24 months data, although WR of HFpEF was not significantly changed. Conclusion The improvement in cardiac sympathetic nerve dysfunction was observed in patients with HFrEF and HFmrEF, not in HFpEF, after the discharge of acute heart failure hospitalization.

Abstract Introduction In our previous report, the time interval from left ventricular (LV) pacing to the earliest onset of QRS (S-QRS interval) has been found to be an independent predictor of mechanical response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The S-QRS interval may indicate the conduction disturbance relevant to the localized tissue property such as scar or fibrotic lesion. Therefore, S-QRS interval longer than 37ms was associated with poor response to CRT, and proposed as suboptimal LV lead position. Then, we hypothesized that the longer S-QRS interval at the LV pacing site could be related to long term mortality and heart failure events in patients with CRT. Methods This retrospective study included 82 consecutive heart failure patients with sinus rhythm, reduced LV ejection fraction (≤35%), and a wide QRS complex (≥120ms), who undergone CRT implantation between 2012 January and 2017 December. Patients were divided into Short S-QRS group (<37ms, SS-QRS) and Long S-QRS group (≥37ms, LS-QRS) according to the previously reported optimal cut off value. A responder was defined as one with ≥15% reduction in LV end-systolic volume assessed by echocardiography at 6 months after CRT. The primary endpoint was total mortality, which included LV assist device implantation or heart transplantation. The secondary endpoints included the composite endpoint of total mortality or heart failure hospitalization. Results The study patients were divided into SS-QRS (N=43, age 65.9±13.2 years, 77% male) and LS-QRS (N=39, age 63.0±13.4, 85% male). In the electrocardiographic measurements, there were no significant differences in baseline QRS duration (162.4±30.3ms in SS-QRS vs. 154.5±31.6ms in LS-QRS, P=0.19) and LV local activation time assessed as Q-LV interval (118.3±34.3ms in SS-QRS vs. 115.3±32.0ms in LS-QRS, P=0.71). S-QRS interval was 25.9±5.3ms in SS-QRS and 51.5±13.7ms in LS-QRS (P<0.01), and the responder rate was significantly higher in SS-QRS compared with LS-QRS (79% vs. 29%, P<0.01). During mean follow up of 47.7±22.4 months, 24 patients (29%) reached to the primary endpoint, while the secondary endpoints were observed in 47 patients (57%). LS-QRS patients had significantly worse event-free survival for both primary and secondary endpoints (Figure). After the multivariate Cox regression analysis, LS-QRS (≥37ms) was an independent predictor of total mortality (HR=2.6, 95% CI: 1.11 to 6.12, P=0.03) and the secondary composite events (HR=2.4, 95% CI: 1.31 to 4.33, P<0.01). Conclusion The S-QRS interval longer than 37ms, which may reflect the conduction disturbance relevant to the scar or fibrotic lesion at the LV pacing site, was a significant predictor of the total mortality and heart failure hospitalization. These findings have implications for the optimal LV lead placement in patients with CRT device. Clinical outcomes according to S-QRS Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public hospital(s). Main funding source(s): CIBER-CV AIMS The scintigraphic translation of Q waves in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and LVEF < 40% has not yet been assessed. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between Q waves and necrotic tissue and to analyze their impact in prognosis. METHODS AND RESULTS A retrospective study enrolling 487 consecutive patients (67,0 [57,4 – 75,4] years), with ischemic cardiomyopathy, LVEF <40% and narrow QRS who underwent stress-rest SPECT was conducted. Patients with Q waves (320 patients [65,7%]) had less comorbidity and ischemia, but more necrosis. Q waves correlated poorly with lack of viability (AUC = 0,63) and were independently associated with the subendocardial extent of the necrosis. After a follow-up of 5,07 years, the primary outcome (cardiovascular death, heart failure hospitalization or myocardial infarction) occurred in 192 (39,4%) patients, without differences between groups in multivariate analysis. After accounting for non-cardiovascular death as a competitive risk, the interaction between >10% of ischemia and revascularization remained in Cox model both in the total cohort (aHR= 0,46 [0,24 – 0,86]), and in patients with Q waves (aHR = 0,27 [0,11–0,69]). CONCLUSION Patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy with Q waves have larger subendocardial scarring and more transmural necrosis, although correlation between Q waves and transmural scarring is poor. Revascularization if >10% ischemia is present is associated with a better prognosis. Ischemia burden should be assessed and accordingly treated in these patients, and no differences in management should be made in the presence of Q waves. Table 1.
