Better diastolic function in CRT candidates is associated with improved survival after CRT implantation - 09/01/21
Résumé |
Background |
The relationship between diastolic dysfunction (DD) and outcome after CRT is debated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of DD in predicting all-cause mortality in heart failure patients undergoing CRT.
Methods |
One-hundred ninety-three patients (age: 67±11 years, QRS width: 167±21ms, LVEF 28±8%) were included in this multicentre prospective study. Mitral filling pattern, mitral tissue Doppler velocity, tricuspid regurgitation velocity, and indexed left atrial volume were used to classify DD from grade I to III according to the 2016 recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging. A reduction of LV end-systolic volume >15% at 6-month follow-up (FU) identified CRT-responders and was observed in 132 (68%) patients.
Results |
During a median 35 months FU, 29 (15%) patients died. Through multivariable analysis, coronary artery disease [HR 2.21 (1.00–4.89) P=0.05], NYHA [HR 2.92 (1.45–5.87), P=0.003] and grade I DD [HR 0.34 (0.13–0.89)] were shown to be independent predictors of prognosis (Table 1). Grade I DD was associated with a longer survival rate in both responders and non-responders (Fig. 1). Non-responders with grade II-III DD had the worse outcome [HR 12.5 (3.56–44.04), P<0.0001]
Conclusion |
Better diastolic function at baseline is associated with improved survival after CRT implantation, independently of CRT-response.
