Additional value of a combined genetic risk score to standard cardiovascular stratification.

ABSTRACT: The utility of genetic risk scores (GRS) as independent risk predictors remains inconclusive. Here, we evaluate the additive value of a multi-locus GRS to the Framingham risk score (FRS) in coronary artery disease (CAD) risk prediction. A total of 2888 individuals (1566 coronary patients and 1322 controls) were divided into three subgroups according to FRS. Multiplicative GRS was determined for 32 genetic variants associated to CAD. Logistic Regression and Area Under the Curve (AUC) were determined first, using the TRF for each FRS subgroup, and secondly, adding GRS. Different models (TRF, TRF+GRS) were used to classify the subjects into risk categories for the FRS 10-year predicted risk. The improvement offered by GRS was expressed as Net Reclassification Index and Integrated Discrimination Improvement. Multivariate analysis showed that GRS was an independent predictor for CAD (OR = 1.87; p<0.0001). Diabetes, arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia and smoking status were also independent CAD predictors (p<0.05). GRS added predictive value to TRF across all risk subgroups. NRI showed a significant improvement in all categories. In conclusion, GRS provided a better incremental value in intermediate subgroup. In this subgroup, inclusion of genotyping may be considered to better stratify cardiovascular risk.

Project description:ImportanceAdults late after total correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) are at risk for major complications. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is recommended to quantify right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) function. However, a commonly used risk model by Khairy et al requires invasive investigations and lacks CMR imaging to identify high-risk patients.ObjectiveTo implement CMR imaging in noninvasive risk stratification to predict major adverse clinical outcomes.Design, setting, and participantsThis multicenter study included 575 adult patients with TOF (4.083 patient-years at risk) from a prospective nationwide registry in whom CMR was performed. This study involved 5 tertiary referral centers with a specialized adult congenital heart disease unit. Multivariable Cox hazards regression analysis was performed to determine factors associated with the primary end point. The CMR variables were combined with the noninvasive components of the Khairy et al risk model, and the C statistic of the final noninvasive risk model was determined using bootstrap sampling. The data analysis was conducted from January to December 2016.Main outcomes and measuresThe composite primary outcome was defined as all-cause mortality or ventricular arrhythmia, defined as aborted cardiac arrest or documented ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia (lasting ≥30 seconds or recurrent symptomatic).ResultsOf the 575 patients with TOF, 57% were male, and the mean (SD) age was 31 (11) years. During a mean (SD) follow-up of 7.1 (3.5) years, the primary composite end point occurred in 35 patients, including all-cause mortality in 13 patients. Mean (SD) RV ejection fraction (EF) was 44% (10%), and mean (SD) LV EF was 53% (8%). There was a correlation between RV EF and LV EF (R, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.29-0.44; P < .001). Optimal thresholds for ventricular function (RV EF <30%: hazard ratio, 3.90; 95% CI, 1.84-8.26; P < .001 and LV EF <45%: hazard ratio, 3.23; 95% CI, 1.57-6.65; P = .001) were independently predictive in multivariable analysis. Both thresholds were included in a point-based noninvasive risk model (C statistic, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.63-0.85) and combined with the noninvasive components of the Khairy et al risk model.Conclusions and relevanceIn patients with repaired TOF, biventricular dysfunction on CMR imaging was associated with major adverse clinical outcomes. The quantified thresholds (RV EF <30% and LV EF <45%) may be implemented in noninvasive risk stratification.
