Response of mean arterial pressure to temporary biventricular pacing after chest closure during cardiac surgery.

ABSTRACT: We have previously demonstrated that biventricular pacing increased cardiac output within 1 hour of weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass in selected patients. To assess the possible sustained benefit, we reviewed in the present study the effects of biventricular pacing on the mean arterial pressure after chest closure.A total of 30 patients (mean ejection fraction 35% ± 15%, mean QRS 119 ± 24 ms) underwent coronary bypass and/or valve surgery. The mean arterial pressure was maximized during biventricular pacing using atrioventricular delays of 90 to 270 ms and interventricular delays of +80 to -80 ms during 20-second intervals in random sequence. Optimized biventricular pacing was finally compared with atrial pacing at a matched heart rate and to a sinus rhythm during 30-second intervals. Vasoactive medication and fluid infusion rates were held constant. The arterial pressure was digitized, recorded, and integrated. Statistical significance was assessed using linear mixed effects models and Bonferroni's correction.Optimized atrioventricular delay, ranging from 90 to 270 ms, increased the mean arterial pressure 4% versus nominal and 7% versus the worst (P < .001). Optimized interventricular delay increased pressure 3% versus nominal and 7% versus the worst. Optimized biventricular pacing increased the mean arterial pressure 4% versus sinus rhythm (78.5 ± 2.4 vs 75.1 ± 2.4 mm Hg; P = .002) and 3% versus atrial pacing (76.4 ± 2.7 mm Hg; P = .017).Temporary biventricular pacing improves the hemodynamics after chest closure, with effects similar to those within 1 hour of bypass. Individualized optimization of atrioventricular delay is warranted, because the optimal delay was longer in 80% of our patients than the current recommendations for temporary postoperative pacing.

Project description:Heart failure patients with stable angina, acute coronary syndromes and valvular heart disease may benefit from revascularisation and/or valve surgery. However, the mortality rate is increased- 5-30%. Biventricular pacing using temporary epicardial wires after surgery is a potential mechanism to improve cardiac function and clinical endpoints.A multi-centred, prospective, randomised, single-blinded, intervention-control trial of temporary biventricular pacing versus standard pacing. Patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease or both, an ejection fraction ? 35% and a conventional indication for cardiac surgery will be recruited from 2 cardiac centres. Baseline investigations will include: an electrocardiogram to confirm sinus rhythm and measure QRS duration; echocardiogram to evaluate left ventricular function and markers of mechanical dyssynchrony; dobutamine echocardiogram for viability and blood tests for renal function and biomarkers of myocardial injury- troponin T and brain naturetic peptide. Blood tests will be repeated at 18, 48 and 72 hours. The principal exclusions will be subjects with permanent atrial arrhythmias, permanent pacemakers, infective endocarditis or end-stage renal disease.After surgery, temporary pacing wires will be attached to the postero-lateral wall of the left ventricle, the right atrium and right ventricle and connected to a triple chamber temporary pacemaker. Subjects will be randomised to receive either temporary biventricular pacing or standard pacing (atrial inhibited pacing or atrial-synchronous right ventricular pacing) for 48 hours.The primary endpoint will be the duration of level 3 care. In brief, this is the requirement for invasive ventilation, multi-organ support or more than one inotrope/vasoconstrictor. Haemodynamic studies will be performed at baseline, 6, 18 and 24 hours after surgery using a pulmonary arterial catheter. Measurements will be taken in the following pacing modes: atrial inhibited; right ventricular only; atrial synchronous-right ventricular; atrial synchronous-left ventricular and biventricular pacing. Optimisation of the atrioventricular and interventricular delay will be performed in the biventricular pacing group at 18 hours. The effect of biventricular pacing on myocardial injury, post operative arrhythmias and renal function will also be quantified.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01027299.

Project description:AimsIn recent decades, haemodynamic parameters have been estimated for risk stratification and determining treatment strategies for patients with non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). In various invasive procedures, the cardiac pumping capability is defined as cardiac power output (CPO), which is calculated by multiplying cardiac output by the mean arterial pressure. Lower CPO values in advanced heart failure predict adverse outcomes. However, few studies discuss the prognostic value of CPO in mild-to-moderate phase patients. This study aimed to determine the value of the cardiac power index (CPI) obtained from the resting CPO for predicting the prognosis of patients with New York Heart Association Functional Class II or III DCM.Methods and resultsFrom March 2000 to January 2020, a total of 623 cardiomyopathy patients were evaluated for haemodynamic parameters. Patients with secondary cardiomyopathy, ischaemic cardiomyopathy, valvular heart disease, and Class IV cardiomyopathy were excluded. A total of 176 DCM patients fulfilled the criteria for inclusion. Patients were 51.7 ± 12.5 years old (mean ± standard deviation) with a mean left ventricular ejection fraction of 32.1 ± 9.2%. The patients were divided into two groups by their median CPI (CPI < 0.52, low-CPI; CPI ≥ 0.52, high-CPI). No significant differences were found in the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular ejection fraction, or pulmonary arterial wedge pressure between the groups. The probability of cardiac event-free survival was significantly lower for low-CPI than for high-CPI groups by Kaplan-Meier analysis (P = 0.012), even with no significant difference between the high and low cardiac index groups (P = 0.069). Furthermore, Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that, in addition to the CPI, the systolic and mean arterial pressure involved in CPI calculation were independent predictors of cardiac events. Indeed, among these factors, mean arterial pressure had the strongest prognostic ability.ConclusionsAlthough CPI is effective for stratifying DCM and predicting cardiac events in patients with Class II/III DCM, this prognostic value depends on mean arterial pressure.

Project description:BackgroundDebilitating brain injury occurs in 1.6-5 % of patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging studies have reported stroke-like lesions in up to 51 % of patients after cardiac surgery. The majority of the lesions seem to be caused by emboli, but inadequate blood flow caused by other mechanisms may increase ischaemia in the penumbra or cause watershed infarcts. During cardiopulmonary bypass, blood pressure can be below the lower limit of cerebral autoregulation. Although much debated, the constant blood flow provided by the cardiopulmonary bypass system is still considered by many as appropriate to avoid cerebral ischaemia despite the low blood pressure.Methods/designThe Perfusion Pressure Cerebral Infarct trial is a single-centre superiority trial with a blinded outcome assessment. The trial is randomising 210 patients with coronary vessel and/or valve disease and who are undergoing cardiac surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. Patients are stratified by age and surgical procedure and are randomised 1:1 to either an increased mean arterial pressure (70-80 mmHg) or 'usual practice' (40-50 mmHg) during cardiopulmonary bypass. The cardiopulmonary bypass pump flow is fixed and set at 2.4 L/minute/m(2) body surface area plus 10-20 % in both groups. The primary outcome measure is the volume of the new ischaemic cerebral lesions (in mL), expressed as the difference between a baseline, diffusion-weighted, magnetic resonance imaging scan and an equal scan conducted 3-6 days postoperatively. Secondary endpoints are the total number of new ischaemic cerebral lesions, postoperative cognitive dysfunction at discharge and 3 months postoperatively, diffuse cerebral injury evaluated by magnetic resonance spectroscopy and selected biochemical markers of cerebral injury. The sample size will enable us to detect a 50 % reduction in the primary outcome measure in the intervention compared to the control group at a significance level of 0.05 and with a power of 0.80.DiscussionThis is the first clinical randomised study to evaluate whether the mean arterial pressure level during cardiopulmonary bypass influences the development of brain injuries that are detected by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02185885 .
