Prevalence and prognostic importance of changes in renal function after mechanical circulatory support.

ABSTRACT: The long-term durability and prognostic significance of improvement in renal function after mechanical circulatory support (MCS) has yet to be characterized in a large multicenter population. The primary goals of this analysis were to describe serial post-MCS changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and determine their association with all-cause mortality.Adult patients enrolled in the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS) with serial creatinine levels available (n=3363) were studied. Early post-MCS, eGFR improved substantially (median improvement, 48.9%; P<0.001) with 22.3% of the population improving their eGFR by ?100% within the first few weeks. However, in the majority of patients, this improvement was transient, and by 1 year, eGFR was only 6.7% above the pre-MCS value (P<0.001). This pattern of early improvement followed by deterioration in eGFR was observed with both pulsatile and continuous-flow devices. Interestingly, poor survival was associated with both marked improvement (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.64; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19-2.26; P=0.002) and worsening in eGFR (adjusted HR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.15-2.13; P=0.004).Post-MCS, early improvement in renal function is common but seems to be largely transient and not necessarily indicative of an improved prognosis. This pattern was observed with both pulsatile and continuous-flow devices. Additional research is necessary to better understand the mechanistic basis for these complex post-MCS changes in renal function and their associated survival disadvantage.URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Project description:BackgroundThe objective of the study was to compare the renal outcomes in patients presenting with all-cause cardiogenic shock who were supported by either Impella devices (Abiomed, Danvers, MA), intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), or vasopressors alone. Outcomes of cardiogenic shock remain poor even with the advancement of early revascularization and circulatory supportive care. Percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (MCS) device has emerged as an effective strategy in protecting end organ function especially renal function during high risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and in patients with cardiogenic shock. Currently, comparative data amongst various MCS modalities and their association with improvement of renal function in cardiogenic shock patients have not been well characterized.MethodsData from New Jersey Cardiac Catheterization Data registry of cardiogenic shock patients from a single tertiary care institution that underwent cardiac catheterization and the modality used to treat were obtained, either with Impella devices, IABP, or treatment with vasopressors alone. Retrospective chart review was conducted to assess the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) on patients with cardiogenic shock prior to and after cardiac catheterization and renal function was evaluated over the course of 96 h after cardiac catheterization. Statistical analysis was performed to ascertain significant difference in creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients who received Impella devices, IABP, or were treated with vasopressors alone.ResultsA total of 61 all-cause cardiogenic shock patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included in the study with 19 receiving IABPs, 15 receiving Impella devices, and 27 treated with vasopressors alone. Baseline characteristics among these three groups did not show any statistically significant difference. A total of 29 cardiogenic shock patients had experienced AKI prior to cardiac catheterization in which those receiving Impella devices showed statistically significant decrease in creatinine and increase in eGFR at 72 and 96 h (P < 0.05) compared to baseline. Within the same cohort, Impella group showed statistically significant lower creatinine at 96 h when compared to IABP. Patients that experienced AKI after cardiac catheterization did not show any statistically significant changes in renal function regardless of modality used.ConclusionThe results of our study suggest that Impella devices improve renal function in all-cause cardiogenic shock patients who experience AKI prior to undergoing cardiac catheterization.

Project description:BackgroundHeart failure (HF) is characterized by perturbations in energy homeostasis and metabolism. The reversibility and prognostic value of circulating markers associated with these changes remain unclear.ObjectivesThis study sought to describe the metabolomic profiles of patients along the spectrum of systolic HF, determine their association with adverse outcomes in a clinical trial of HF, and evaluate whether identified metabolites change with treatment for end-stage systolic HF.MethodsTo assess association of metabolites with clinical outcomes, we evaluated a population of 453 chronic systolic HF patients who had been randomized to exercise training versus usual care. To assess change in metabolites with mechanical circulatory support, 41 patients with end-stage HF who underwent left ventricular assist device (LVAD) placement were studied. Targeted, quantitative profiling of 60 metabolites using tandem flow injection mass spectrometry was performed on frozen plasma samples obtained prior to randomization, as well as prior to and ≥90 days post-placement in the LVAD group. Principal components analysis was used for data reduction.ResultsFive principal components analysis-derived factors were significantly associated with peak Vo2 levels at baseline in fully adjusted models. Of these, factor 5 (composed of long-chain acylcarnitines) was associated with increased risk of all 3 pre-specified clinical trial outcomes: all-cause mortality/all-cause hospitalization, all cause-hospitalization, and cardiovascular death or cardiovascular hospitalization. Individual components of factor 5 were significantly higher in patients with end-stage HF prior to LVAD placement and decreased significantly post-implantation.ConclusionsIn chronic HF patients, circulating long-chain acylcarnitine metabolite levels were independently associated with adverse clinical outcomes and decreased after long-term mechanical circulatory support. These metabolites may serve as potential targets for new diagnostics or therapeutic interventions.
