Dataset Information

Long-term heart function in cardiac-arrest survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To assess outcomes and predictors of long-term myocardial dysfunction after cardiac arrest (CA) of cardiac origin.

Methods

We retrospectively included consecutive, single-center, prospective-registry patients who survived to hospital discharge for adult out-of-hospital and in-hospital CA of cardiac origin in 2005-2019. The primary objective was to collect the 1-year New York Heart Association Functional Class (NYHA-FC) and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).

Results

Of 135 patients, 94 (72%) had their NYHA-FC determined after 1 year, including 75 (75/94, 80%) who were I, 17 (17/94, 18%) II, 2 (2/94, 2%) III, and none IV. The echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction was abnormal in 87/130 (67%) patients on day 1, 52/123 (42%) at hospital discharge, and 17/52 (33%) at 6 months. During the median follow-up of 796 [283-1975] days, 38/119 (32%) patients experienced a MACE. These events were predominantly related to acute heart failure (13/38) or ischemic cardiovascular events (16/38), with acute coronary syndrome being the most prevalent among them (8/16). Pre-CA cardiovascular disease was a risk factor for 1-year NYHA-FC > I (P = 0.01), absence of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation was significantly associated with NYHA-FC > I at 1 year.

Conclusion

Most patients had no heart-failure symptoms a year after adult out-of hospital or in-hospital CA of cardiac origin, and absence of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation was the only treatment component significantly associated with NYHA-FC > I at 1 year. Nearly a third experienced MACE and the most common types of MACE were ischemic cardiovascular events and acute heart failure. Early left ventricular dysfunction recovered within 6 months in half the patients with available values.

Project description:BackgroundLittle is known about the long-term outcomes in elderly survivors of in-hospital cardiac arrest. We determined rates of long-term survival and readmission among survivors of in-hospital cardiac arrest and examined whether these outcomes differed according to demographic characteristics and neurologic status at discharge.MethodsWe linked data from a national registry of inpatient cardiac arrests with Medicare files and identified 6972 adults, 65 years of age or older, who were discharged from the hospital after surviving an in-hospital cardiac arrest between 2000 and 2008. Predictors of 1-year survival and of readmission to the hospital were examined.ResultsOne year after hospital discharge, 58.5% of the patients were alive, and 34.4% had not been readmitted to the hospital. The risk-adjusted rate of 1-year survival was lower among older patients than among younger patients (63.7%, 58.6%, and 49.7% among patients 65 to 74, 75 to 84, and ≥85 years of age, respectively; P<0.001), among men than among women (58.6% vs. 60.9%, P=0.03), and among black patients than among white patients (52.5% vs. 60.4%, P=0.001). The risk-adjusted rate of 1-year survival was 72.8% among patients with mild or no neurologic disability at discharge, as compared with 61.1% among patients with moderate neurologic disability, 42.2% among those with severe neurologic disability, and 10.2% among those in a coma or vegetative state (P<0.001 for all comparisons). Moreover, 1-year readmission rates were higher among patients who were black, those who were women, and those who had substantial neurologic disability (P<0.05 for all comparisons). These differences in survival and readmission rates persisted at 2 years. At 3 years, the rate of survival among survivors of in-hospital cardiac arrest was similar to that of patients who had been hospitalized with heart failure and were discharged alive (43.5% and 44.9%, respectively; risk ratio, 0.98; 95% confidence interval, 0.95 to 1.02; P=0.35).ConclusionsAmong elderly survivors of in-hospital cardiac arrest, nearly 60% were alive at 1 year, and the rate of 3-year survival was similar to that among patients with heart failure. Survival and readmission rates differed according to the demographic characteristics of the patients and neurologic status at discharge.
