RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to assess the safety of carvedilol therapy among heart failure (HF) patients with a cocaine-use disorder (CUD). BACKGROUND: Although carvedilol therapy is recommended among certain patients with HF, the safety and efficacy of carvedilol among HF patients with a CUD is unknown. METHODS: This was a single-center study of hospitalized patients with HF. Cocaine use was self-reported or defined as having a positive urine toxicology. Patients were divided by carvedilol prescription. Subgroup analyses were performed by strata of ejection fraction (EF) ≤40%, 41% to 49%, or ≥50%. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were defined as cardiovascular mortality and 30-day HF readmission. RESULTS: From a cohort of 2,578 patients hospitalized with HF in 2011, 503 patients with a CUD were identified, among whom 404 (80%) were prescribed carvedilol, and 99 (20%) were not. Both groups had similar characteristics; however, those prescribed carvedilol had a lower LVEF, heart rate, and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide concentrations at admission and on discharge, and more coronary artery disease. Over a median follow-up of 19 months, there were 169 MACEs. The MACE rates were similar between the carvedilol and the non-carvedilol groups (32% vs. 38%, respectively; p = 0.16) and between those with a preserved EF (30% vs. 33%, respectively; p = 0.48) and were lower in patients with a reduced EF taking carvedilol (34% vs. 58%, respectively; p = 0.02). In a multivariate model, carvedilol therapy was associated with lower MACE among patients with HF with a CUD (hazard ratio: 0.67; 95% confidence interval; 0.481 to 0.863). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that carvedilol therapy is safe for patients with HF with a CUD and may be effective among those with a reduced EF.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) among persons living with human immunodeficiency virus infection (PHIV) with heart failure (HF), who were hospitalized for HF, and the risk factors associated with it. BACKGROUND: HF is associated with an increased risk for SCD. PHIV are at heightened risk for HF. METHODS: This was a retrospective study of 2,578 patients hospitalized with HF from a single academic center, of whom 344 were PHIV. The outcome of interest was SCD. Subgroup analyses were performed by strata of viral load (VL) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <35%, 35% to 49%, and ≥50%. RESULTS: Of 2,578 patients with HF, 2,149 (86%) did not have implantable cardioverter-defibrillators; of these, there were 344 PHIV and 1,805 uninfected control subjects. Among PHIV with HF, 313 (91%) were prescribed antiretroviral therapy and 64% were virally suppressed. There were 191 SCDs over a median follow-up period of 19 months. Compared with control subjects, PHIV had a 3-fold increase in SCD (21.0% vs. 6.4%; adjusted odds ratio: 3.0; 95% confidence interval: 1.78 to 4.24). Among PHIV, cocaine use, lower LVEF, absence of beta-blocker prescription, and VL were predictors of SCD. The SCD rate among PHIV with undetectable VL was similar to the rate among uninfected subjects. Similar findings were observed by LVEF strata. Among PHIV with HF without conventional indications for an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, the rate of SCD was 10% per year. CONCLUSIONS: PHIV hospitalized with HF are at a markedly increased risk for SCD. SCD risk was increased in patients with lower LVEFs, lower CD4 counts, and higher VL.
