RESUMO

AIM: To compare the risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden death (SD) between New York Heart Association (NYHA) class I and NYHA class II-III patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). METHODS AND RESULTS: Observational retrospective cohort study including patients with NICM who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance at two hospitals. The primary endpoint included appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapies, sustained ventricular tachycardia, resuscitated cardiac arrest and SD. The secondary endpoint included heart failure (HF) hospitalizations, heart transplant, left ventricular assist device implant or HF death. Overall, 698 patients were included, 33% in NYHA class I. During a median follow-up of 31 months, the primary endpoint occurred in 57 patients (8%), with no differences between NYHA class I and NYHA class II-III cases (7% vs. 9%, p = 0.62). Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was the only independent predictor of the primary outcome both in NYHA class I and NYHA class II-III patients. LGE+ NYHA class I patients had a similar cumulative incidence of the primary endpoint as compared to LGE+ NYHA class II-III (p = 0.92) and a significantly higher risk as compared to LGE- NYHA class II-III cases (p < 0.001). The risk of the secondary endpoint was significantly higher in patients in NYHA class II-III as compared to those in NYHA class I (hazard ratio 3.2, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with NICM in NYHA class I are not necessarily at low risk of VA and SD. Actually, LGE+ NYHA class I patients have a high risk. NYHA class I patients with high-risk factors, such as LGE, could benefit from primary prevention ICD at least as much as those in NYHA class II-III with the same risk factors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Elderly patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are at higher risk for complications and health care resources expenditure. No previous study has assessed the specific contribution of frailty and other geriatric syndromes to the in-hospital economic cost in this setting. METHOD: Unselected patients with ACS aged ≥75 years were prospectively included. A comprehensive geriatric assessment was performed during hospitalisation. Hospitalisation-related cost per patient was calculated with an analytical accountability method, including hospital stay-related expenditures, interventions, and consumption of devices. Expenditure was expressed in Euros (2019). The contribution of geriatric syndromes and clinical factors to the economic cost was assessed with a linear regression method. RESULTS: A total of 194 patients (mean age 82.6 years) were included. Mean length of hospital stay was 11.3 days. The admission-related economic cost was €6,892.15 per patient. Most of this cost was attributable to hospital length of stay (77%). The performance of an invasive strategy during the admission was associated with economic cost (p=0.008). Of all the ageing-related variables, comorbidity showed the most significant association with economic cost (p=0.009). Comorbidity, disability, nutritional risk, and frailty were associated with the hospital length of stay-related component of the economic cost. The final predictive model of economic cost included age, previous heart failure, systolic blood pressure, Killip class at admission, left main disease, and Charlson index. CONCLUSIONS: Management of ACS in elderly patients is associated with a significant economic cost, mostly due to hospital length of stay. Comorbidity mostly contributes to in-hospital resources expenditure, as well as the severity of the coronary event.
