Adrenergic receptor genotypes influence postoperative outcomes in infants in the Single-Ventricle Reconstruction Trial.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:Adrenergic receptor (ADR) genotypes have been associated with adverse outcomes in heart failure. Our objective was to evaluate the association of ADR genotypes with post-Norwood outcomes in infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). METHODS:Infants with HLHS participating in the Pediatric Heart Network Single-Ventricle Reconstruction Trial underwent genotyping for 4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 3 ADR genes: ADRB1_231A/G, ADRB1_1165G/C, ADRB2_5318C/G, and ADRA2A_2790C/T. The association of genotype with freedom from serious adverse events (SAEs) (death, transplant, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, acute shunt failure, unplanned reoperations, or necrotizing enterocolitis) during 14 months' follow-up was assessed with Cox regression and the association with post-Norwood complications was assessed with Poisson regression. Models were adjusted for clinical and surgical factors. RESULTS:The study included 351 eligible patients (62% male; 83% white). The mean age at Norwood procedure was 5.6 ± 3.6 days. A total of 152 patients had SAEs during 14-month follow-up including 84 deaths and 10 transplants. ADRA2A_2790CC genotype had lower SAE-free survival compared with CT/TT genotypes during follow-up (Log rank test, P = .02), and this association was independent of clinical and surgical risk factors (adjusted Cox regression, hazard ratio 1.54 [95% confidence interval 1.04, 2.30] P = .033). Post-Norwood complication rate did not differ by genotype. CONCLUSIONS:Infants with HLHS harboring ADR genotypes that are associated with greater catecholamine release or sensitivity had lower event-free survival after staged palliation. Excess catecholamine activation may adversely affect cardiovascular adaptation after the Norwood procedure. Future studies should explore whether targeting adrenergic activation in those harboring risk genotypes can improve outcomes. (ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT00115934).

Project description:ObjectivesWe sought to identify factors associated with the timing and surgical outcomes of the superior cavopulmonary anastomosis.MethodsThe Pediatric Heart Network's Infant Single Ventricle trial database identified participants who underwent superior cavopulmonary anastomosis. Factors potentially associated with age at superior cavopulmonary anastomosis, length of stay and death by 14 months of age were evaluated. Factors included subject demographics, cardiac anatomy, measures from neonatal hospitalization and pre-superior cavopulmonary anastomosis visit, adverse events, echocardiographic variables, intraoperative variables, superior cavopulmonary anastomosis type, and number of concurrent cardiac surgical procedures. Age at superior cavopulmonary anastomosis was analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression. Natural log length of stay was analyzed by multiple linear regression.ResultsSuperior cavopulmonary anastomosis was performed in 193 subjects at 5.2 months of age (interquartile range, 4.2, 6.2) and weight of 5.9 kg (interquartile range, 5.3, 6.6). The median length of stay was 7 days (interquartile range, 6, 10). There were 3 deaths and 1 transplant during the superior cavopulmonary anastomosis hospitalization, and 3 deaths and 3 transplants between discharge and 14 months of age. Age at superior cavopulmonary anastomosis was associated with center and interstage adverse events. A longer length of stay was associated with younger age and greater case complexity. Superior cavopulmonary anastomosis type, valve regurgitation, ventricular ejection fraction, and ventricular end-diastolic pressure were not independently associated with age at superior cavopulmonary anastomosis or the length of stay.ConclusionsGreater case complexity and more frequent interstage adverse events are associated with an earlier age at superior cavopulmonary anastomosis. Significant variation in age at superior cavopulmonary anastomosis among centers, independent of subject factors, highlights a lack of consensus regarding the optimal timing. Factors associated with length of stay could offer insights for improving presuperior cavopulmonary anastomosis care and surgical outcome.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Recoarctation after the Norwood procedure increases risk for mortality. The Single Ventricle Reconstruction (SVR) trial randomized subjects with a single right ventricle undergoing a Norwood procedure to a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt or a right ventricle-pulmonary artery shunt. We sought to determine the incidence of recoarctation, risk factors, and outcomes in the SVR trial. METHODS AND RESULTS:Recoarctation was defined by intervention, either catheter based or surgical. Univariate analysis and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were performed with adjustment for center. Of the 549 SVR subjects, 97 (18%) underwent 131 interventions (92 balloon aortoplasty, 39 surgical) for recoarctation at a median age of 4.9 months (range, 1.1-10.5 months). Intervention typically occurred at pre-stage II catheterization (n=71, 54%) or at stage II surgery (n=38, 29%). In multivariable analysis, recoarctation was associated with the shunt type in place at the end of the Norwood procedure (hazard ratio, 2.0 for right ventricle-pulmonary artery shunt versus modified Blalock-Taussig shunt; P=0.02), and Norwood discharge peak echo-Doppler arch gradient (hazard ratio, 1.07 per 1 mm?Hg; P<0.01). Subjects with recoarctation demonstrated comorbidities at pre-stage II evaluation, including higher pulmonary arterial pressures (15.4±3.0 versus 14.5±3.5 mm?Hg; P=0.05), higher pulmonary vascular resistance (2.6±1.6 versus 2.0±1.0 Wood units·m(2); P=0.04), and increased echocardiographic volumes (end-diastolic volume, 126±39 versus 112±33 mL/BSA(1.3), where BSA is body surface area; P=0.02). There was no difference in 12-month postrandomization transplantation-free survival between those with and without recoarctation (P=0.14). CONCLUSIONS:Recoarctation is common after Norwood and contributes to pre-stage II comorbidities. Although with intervention there is no associated increase in 1-year transplantation/mortality, further evaluation is warranted to evaluate the effects of associated morbidities.

Project description:Background In heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction, 2 clinical trials, the BEST (?-Blocker Evaluation of Survival Trial) and HF-ACTION (Heart Failure: A Controlled Trial Investigating Outcomes of Exercise Training), have reported an effectiveness interaction between the ADRB1 (?-1 adrenergic receptor) Arg389Gly polymorphism and ?-blockers (BBs). HF-ACTION additionally reported a dose-related interaction of unclear origin. If confirmed and pharmacogenetically resolved, these findings may have important implications for HF with reduced ejection fraction precision therapy. We used uniform methodology to investigate BB dose-ADRB1 Arg389Gly polymorphism interaction with major clinical end points in BEST/bucindolol and HF-ACTION/other BB databases. Methods This was a retrospective analysis of prospectively designed DNA substudies from BEST (N=1040) and HF-ACTION (N=957). Subjects were genotyped for ADRB1 Arg389Gly and ADRA2C (?2C adrenergic receptor) Ins322-325Del. BB dose was defined as either no/low dose or high dose, according to total daily dose of either bucindolol (BEST subjects) or other BB (HF-ACTION subjects) standardized to carvedilol equivalents. The main outcome of interest was all-cause mortality, and CV mortality/HF hospitalization was a secondary outcome. Results Subjects in each trial had less all-cause mortality with high- versus no/low-dose BB if they had ADRB1 Arg389Arg (BEST: hazard ratio [HR]=0.40, P=0.002; HF-ACTION: HR=0.45, P=0.005) but not Arg389Gly genotype (both P>0.2). Among gene-dose groups, there was a differential favorable treatment effect of 46% for high-dose bucindolol with ADRB1 Arg389Arg versus Gly carrier genotype (HR, 0.54; P=0.018), but not for no/low-dose bucindolol. In contrast, HF-ACTION Arg389Arg genotype subjects taking no/low-dose BB had greater all-cause mortality compared with 389Gly carriers (HR, 1.83; P=0.015), whereas all-cause mortality did not vary by genotype among subjects taking high-dose BB (HR, 0.84; P=0.55). Conclusions The enhanced HF with reduced ejection fraction efficacy of bucindolol in the ADRB1 Arg389Arg versus 389Gly carrier genotypes occurs at high dose. Other BBs taken at low dose have reduced efficacy for Arg389Arg genotype subjects compared with 389Gly carriers, suggesting a greater relative treatment effect at high dose. These data support guideline recommendations to use high, clinical trial target doses of all BBs to treat HF with reduced ejection fraction.

Project description:BackgroundWe investigated the effect of polymorphisms in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) genes on ventricular remodeling, growth, renal function, and response to enalapril in infants with single ventricle.Methods and resultsSingle ventricle infants enrolled in a randomized trial of enalapril were genotyped for polymorphisms in 5 genes: angiotensinogen, angiotensin-converting enzyme, angiotensin II type 1 receptor, aldosterone synthase, and chymase. Alleles associated with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system upregulation were classified as risk alleles. Ventricular mass, volume, somatic growth, renal function using estimated glomerular filtration rate, and response to enalapril were compared between patients with ≥2 homozygous risk genotypes (high risk), and those with <2 homozygous risk genotypes (low risk) at 2 time points: before the superior cavopulmonary connection (pre-SCPC) and at age 14 months. Of 230 trial subjects, 154 were genotyped: Thirty-eight were high risk, and 116 were low risk. Ventricular mass and volume were elevated in both groups pre-SCPC. Ventricular mass and volume decreased and estimated glomerular filtration rate increased after SCPC in the low-risk (P<0.05), but not the high-risk group. These responses were independent of enalapril treatment. Weight and height z-scores were lower at baseline, and height remained lower in the high-risk group at 14 months, especially in those receiving enalapril (P<0.05).ConclusionsRenin-angiotensin-aldosterone system-upregulation genotypes were associated with failure of reverse remodeling after SCPC surgery, less improvement in renal function, and impaired somatic growth, the latter especially in patients receiving enalapril. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system genotype may identify a high-risk subgroup of single ventricle patients who fail to fully benefit from volume-unloading surgery. Follow-up is warranted to assess long-term impact.Clinical trial registrationhttp://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00113087.
