背景:右心室(RV)-动脉解耦是射血分数保留的心力衰竭(HFpEF)预后的有力独立预测指标。冠状动脉疾病(CAD)可能与HFpEF的病理生理特征有关。本研究旨在评估RV-动脉解耦在急性HFpEF伴CAD患者中的预后价值。
方法:这项前瞻性研究纳入了250例冠心病急性HFpEF患者。根据最佳临界值将患者分为RV-动脉解偶联组和偶联组,基于三尖瓣环平面收缩期偏移到肺动脉收缩压(TAPSE/PASP)的受试者工作特征曲线。主要终点是全因死亡的复合,复发性缺血事件,和HF住院。
结果:TAPSE/PASP≤0.43在识别RV-动脉解耦患者方面提供了良好的准确性(曲线下面积,0.731;灵敏度,61.4%;和特异性,76.6%)。在250名患者中,可将150例和100例患者分为RV-动脉偶联组(TAPSE/PASP>0.43)和未偶联组(TAPSE/PASP≤0.43),分别。两组之间的血运重建策略略有不同;RV-动脉解耦组的完全血运重建率较低(37.0%[37/100]vs.52.7%[79/150],P<0.001)和更高的无血运重建率(18.0%[18/100]vs.4.7%[7/150],与RV-动脉偶联组相比,P<0.001)。TAPSE/PASP≤0.43的队列的预后明显比TAPSE/PASP>0.43的队列差。多因素Cox分析显示TAPSE/PASP≤0.43是主要终点的独立相关因素,全因死亡,和复发性HF住院(风险比[HR]:2.21,95%置信区间[CI]:1.44-3.39,P<0.001;HR:3.32,95%CI:1.30-8.47,P=0.012;HR:1.93,95%CI:1.10-3.37,P=0.021),但不是复发的缺血事件(HR:1.48,95%CI:0.75-2.90,P=0.257)。
结论:RV-动脉解偶联,基于TAPSE/PASP,与急性HFpEF伴CAD患者的不良结局独立相关。
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV)-arterial uncoupling is a powerful independent predictor of prognosis in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Coronary artery disease (CAD) can contribute to the pathophysiological characteristics of HFpEF. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of RV-arterial uncoupling in acute HFpEF patients with CAD.
METHODS: This prospective study included 250 consecutive acute HFpEF patients with CAD. Patients were divided into RV-arterial uncoupling and coupling groups by the optimal cutoff value, based on a receiver operating characteristic curve of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP). The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death, recurrent ischemic events, and HF hospitalizations.
RESULTS: TAPSE/PASP ≤0.43 provided good accuracy in identifying patients with RV-arterial uncoupling (area under the curve, 0.731; sensitivity, 61.4%; and specificity, 76.6%). Of the 250 patients, 150 and 100 patients could be grouped into the RV-arterial coupling (TAPSE/PASP >0.43) and uncoupling (TAPSE/PASP ≤0.43) groups, respectively. Revascularization strategies were slightly different between groups; the RV-arterial uncoupling group had a lower rate of complete revascularization (37.0% [37/100] vs . 52.7% [79/150], P <0.001) and a higher rate of no revascularization (18.0% [18/100] vs . 4.7% [7/150], P <0.001) compared to the RV-arterial coupling group. The cohort with TAPSE/PASP ≤0.43 had a significantly worse prognosis than the cohort with TAPSE/PASP >0.43. Multivariate Cox analysis showed TAPSE/PASP ≤0.43 as an independent associated factor for the primary endpoint, all-cause death, and recurrent HF hospitalization (hazard ratios [HR]: 2.21, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.44-3.39, P <0.001; HR: 3.32, 95% CI: 1.30-8.47, P = 0.012; and HR: 1.93, 95% CI: 1.10-3.37, P = 0.021, respectively), but not for recurrent ischemic events (HR: 1.48, 95% CI: 0.75-2.90, P = 0.257).
CONCLUSIONS: RV-arterial uncoupling, based on TAPSE/PASP, is independently associated with adverse outcomes in acute HFpEF patients with CAD.
