ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To develop and validate a user-friendly risk score for older mitral regurgitation (MR) patients, referred to as the Elder-MR score.@*METHODS@#The China Senile Valvular Heart Disease (China-DVD) Cohort Study functioned as the development cohort, while the China Valvular Heart Disease (China-VHD) Study was employed for external validation. We included patients aged 60 years and above receiving medical treatment for moderate or severe MR (2274 patients in the development cohort and 1929 patients in the validation cohort). Candidate predictors were chosen using Cox's proportional hazards model and stepwise selection with Akaike's information criterion.@*RESULTS@#Eight predictors were identified: age ≥ 75 years, body mass index < 20 kg/m2, NYHA class III/IV, secondary MR, anemia, estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2, albumin < 35 g/L, and left ventricular ejection fraction < 60%. The model displayed satisfactory performance in predicting one-year mortality in both the development cohort (C-statistic = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.69-0.77, Brier score = 0.06) and the validation cohort (C-statistic = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.68-0.78, Brier score = 0.06). The Elder-MR score ranges from 0 to 15 points. At a one-year follow-up, each point increase in the Elder-MR score represents a 1.27-fold risk of death (HR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.21-1.34, P < 0.001) in the development cohort and a 1.24-fold risk of death (HR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.17-1.30, P < 0.001) in the validation cohort. Compared to EuroSCORE II, the Elder-MR score demonstrated superior predictive accuracy for one-year mortality in the validation cohort (C-statistic = 0.71 vs. 0.70, net reclassification improvement = 0.320, P < 0.01; integrated discrimination improvement = 0.029, P < 0.01).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The Elder-MR score may serve as an effective risk stratification tool to assist clinical decision-making in older MR patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of left bundle branch pacing(LBBP) in patients after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Methods: This is a retrospective study. A total of 35 patients underwent TAVI and received pacemaker implantation from January 2018 to December 2020 in Beijing Fuwai Hospital were enrolled. Patients were divided into LBBP group (n=12) and right ventricular apex pacing (RVAP) group (n=23) according to the pacing position. The success rate of operation in LBBP group was calculated, and the occurrence of complications were observed, and the parameters of pacemaker were measured on the 3rd day and 1, 3 and 6 months after operation. The N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), echocardiographic and ECG indexes were compared between the two groups on the 3rd day and 1, 3, and 6 months after pacemaker implantation. Result: A total of 35 patients were included, The age was (76.4±7.7) years, including 19 males (54.3%). The procedure time ((86.58±17.10)min vs. (68.74±9.18)min, P<0.001) and fluoroscopy duration ((20.08±4.44)min vs. (17.00±2.26)min, P<0.001) were significantly longer in LBBP group compared with RVAP group. The operation success rate of LBBP group was 11/12. There was no serious operation related complications such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, electrode dislocation, infection, and lower limb bleeding. The patients were followed up for 7.43 (5.21, 9.84) months. The programmed parameters of pacemaker were in the ideal range and stable during follow-up. At 3 and 6 months after operation, the left ventricular ejection fraction in LBBP group was higher than that in RVAP Group (at 3 months: (60.75±2.89)% vs. (57.35±3.33)%, P=0.004; at 6 months: (63.17±3.33)% vs. (56.17±3.97)%, P<0.001), NT-proBNP values was lower in LBBP group than that in RVAP Group (at 3 months: 822 (607, 1 150)ng/L vs. 1 052 (902, 1 536)ng/L, P=0.006; at 6 months: 440 (330,679)ng/L vs. 783 (588, 1 023)ng/L, P=0.001). At 1, 3 and 6 months after operation, the QRS duration was shorter in LBBP group than that in RVAP group (1 month: 99 (97, 107)ms vs. 126(124, 130)ms, P<0.001; 3 months: 98(96, 105)ms vs. 129(128, 133)ms, P<0.001; 6 months: 96(94, 104)ms vs. 130(128, 132)ms, P<0.001). Conclusions: For patients with permanent pacemaker indications after TAVI, LBBP is feasible, safe and reliable. It could improve the cardiac function in the short term, the long-term effect of LBBP needs to be further observed.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To summarize the single center experience of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with a simplified operative protocol. Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent transfemoral TAVR (TF-TAVR) from July 2020 to December 2020 in Fuwai Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. We compared the baseline characteristic, procedure information, 30-day follow-up outcomes of the patients who underwent TF-TAVR without the simplified operative protocol (routine group) or with the simplified operative protocol (simplified protocol group). Results: 93 patients were collected, 42 patients belonging to routine group, 51 patients belonging to simplified protocol group. In simplified protocol group, there were 51 patients planned to use ultrasound-guided femoral access puncture, procedure was successful in all 51 patients (100%). There were 49 patients planned to use the radial artery as the secondary access, procedure was successful in 45 patients (92%). There were 48 patients planned to use the strategy of avoidance of urinary catheter, this strategy was achieved in 35 patients (73%). There were 12 patients planned to use the left ventricular guidewire to pace, procedure was successful in 11 patients (92%). There were no differences in baseline characteristics, major clinical endpoints and 30-day follow-up outcomes between the two groups. Meanwhile, the procedure time ((62.5±17.9)min vs. (78.3±16.7)min, P<0.001), operation room time ((133.7±25.1)min vs. (159.2±42.6)min, P<0.001), X-ray exposure time ((17.2±6.5)min vs. (20.2±7.7)min, P=0.027) were significantly shorten in simplified protocol group compared with the routine group. Conclusion: Our study results indicate that the simplified operative protocol of TF-TAVR is as effective and safe as the routine operative protocol, meanwhile using the simplified operative protocol can significantly increase the operative efficiency of TF-TAVR.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:To observe the clinical features and factorsrelated to treatment decision for hospitalizedpatients with mitral regurgitation (MR). Methods:A total of 3 450 consecutivepatients with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) confirmed moderate to severe MR admitted in our hospital from 2014-01-01 to 2015-12-31 were enrolled. Base on therapeutic method, the patients were divided into 2 groups:Surgery group, n=1 845 and Medication group, n=1 605. The baseline data including TTE results were collected, clinical features were compared between 2 groups and factors related to treatment decision were analyzed. Results:Mean age of this patient cohort was (54.8±13.8) years including 26.99% (931/3 450) patients aged ≥65 years. The most common etiology was primary MR, 324 (9.39%) patients were asymptomatic at admission and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was evidenced in 55.28% (1 907) patients. Total in-hospital mortality was 0.75% (26). Compared with Medication group, the patients in Surgery group were younger ([52.65±12.01] years vs [57.39±15.25] years), prevalence of severe MR (56.69% vs 26.79%) and primary MR (89.49% vs 39.00%), as well as LVEF value ([61.62±9.20] % vs [48.00±17.53] %) were higher (all P<0.001).Logistic regression analysis indicated that age (OR=0.561, 95% CI 0.503-0.627), MR etiology (OR=3.062, 95% CI 2.565-3.654), MR grade (OR=0.103, 95% CI 0.085-0.126) and LVEF (OR=2.478, 95% CI 2.147-2.860) were the determinants for treatmentdecision making in hospitalized patients with moderate to severe MR. Conclusions:In this patient cohort, there are considerable proportion of aged patients with moderate to severe MR. Primary MRis the major etiology. 46.52% patients received conservative therpay instead of surgery, older age,secondary MR, moderate MR and decreased LVEF are the major reasons for choosing conservative therapy in this patient cohort.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>The aim of this study was to assess the long-term clinical outcome of patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic total occlusion (CTO) underwent drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Data of 143 consecutive eligible patients from January, 2006 to May, 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. The endpoint of the study was the major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization. The patients were divided into two groups, event group and non-event group, according to the result of follow-up.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Long-term follow-up was finished in 139 (97.2%) patients. Mean follow-up duration was (19.8 + or - 5.1) months. MACE rate was 10.5% during follow-up: 3 deaths, 1 myocardial infarction and 11 repeated target lesion revascularization with PCI. Compared with the non-event group, the percentage of residual lesion [(17.7 + or - 1.8)% vs. (15.4 + or - 5.0)%, P = 0.001] was significantly higher in the event group, however, the final minimal luminal diameter [(2.14 + or - 0.22)% vs. (2.89 + or - 0.37)%, P = 0.004] was lower. Cox regression analysis showed that final luminal diameter (OR: 0.097, 95%CI: 0.013 - 0.694, P = 0.020) was the only dependent predictor at follow-up.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Final minimal luminal diameter is an independent predictor of MACE during follow-up for patients with diabetes and CTO underwent DES implantation.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>ST-elevated acute myocardial infarction (STEAMI) happening in the first month post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is almost related to acute thrombosis or subacute thrombosis in-stents. This study aimed to investigate the possible causes of myocardial infarction one month later.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Patients who had a history of successful PCI, and received coronary angiography or re-PCI due to STEAMI were included in this study. The AMI-related lesions and previous angiographic findings such as the number of lesions, the degree of the stenosis, the type of stents and acute results of last PCI were recorded. If the AMI-related lesion was localized in-stents or at the edge of stents (distance apart from the edge < or = 5 mm), it was defined to be late thrombosis; otherwise as a new-lesion induced AMI.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>One hundred and ninety-two patients aged 40 - 79 years were included in this study. New lesions, as the cause of STEAMI, were found in 144 patients (Group A, 75%), and late thrombosis in 48 patients (Group B, 25%). Almost all newly built thromboses were found at the sites of previous insignificant lesions (diameter stenosis < 50%). There was a significant difference in the average time from previous PCI to AMI ((30.1 +/- 12.4) vs (20.3 +/- 11.9) months) between the two groups. Diabetes mellitus (DM) and drug-eluting stent (DES) utilization were associated with markedly higher morbidity of late thrombosis in adjusted Logistic regression (hazard ratio (HR) 3.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1 - 10.9 and 5.3, 95% CI 1.1 - 26.5).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>STEAMIs happening 1 month after PCI are more likely to develop from previous insignificant lesion rupture than from late thrombosis in-stents. Moreover, DM and DES are associated with the high incidence of late thrombosis, which may indicate that intensive antiplatelet therapy should be considered in patients with diabetes.</p>
