Triglyceride-Glucose Index Independently Predicts New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation After Septal Myectomy for Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy Beyond the Traditional Risk Factors.

ABSTRACT: The triglyceride-glucose index is a valuable marker of insulin resistance. However, the predictive value of this index for postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing septal myectomy remains unclear. A total of 409 patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy who underwent septal myectomy were recruited in this study. The triglyceride-glucose index was calculated for all patients preoperatively. All patients underwent clinical data collection, blood sampling, and standard echocardiographic examinations during hospitalization. The prevalence of postoperative atrial fibrillation was approximately 15% in the present study. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.053, 95% CI: 1.016-1.090, P = 0.004), hypertension (OR: 2.399, 95% CI: 1.228-4.686, P = 0.010), left atrial diameter (OR: 1.101, 95% CI: 1.050-1.155, P < 0.001), and triglyceride-glucose index (OR: 4.218, 95% CI: 2.381-7.473, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing septal myectomy. In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the triglyceride-glucose index could provide a moderate predictive value for postoperative atrial fibrillation after septal myectomy 0.723 (95% CI: 0.650-0.796, P < 0.001). Moreover, adding the triglyceride-glucose index to conventional risk factor model could numerically but not significantly increase our ability to predict postoperative atrial fibrillation (area under the receiver: 0.742 (0.671-0.814) vs. 0.793 (0.726-0.860), p = 0.065) after septal myectomy. In our retrospective cohort study, the triglyceride-glucose index was identified as an independent predictor of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing septal myectomy.

Project description:BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with a higher prevalence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients who underwent cardiac surgery. However, whether OSA is a risk factor for postoperative atrial fibrillation after septal myectomy remains unclear. We hypothesized that OSA was associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation after septal myectomy.MethodsA total of 99 patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy who underwent septal myectomy were included in our manuscript. Polysomnography was performed in all patients, and the heart rhythm was continuously monitored during the perioperative period.ResultsIn the present study, 25 (25.3%) patients developed postoperative atrial fibrillation after septal myectomy. The prevalence of postoperative atrial fibrillation was significantly higher in patients with OSA and increased with the worsening severity of OSA. Notably, the apnea-hypoxia index was significantly higher in patients with postoperative atrial fibrillation among the different OSA groups. In receiver operating characteristic analysis, the area under the curve for the apnea-hypopnea index was 0.785 (95% CI: 0.684-0.887, P<0.001); an apnea-hypopnea index of 10.4 was the optimal cutoff point to predict postoperative atrial fibrillation. In the multivariable analysis, apnea-hypopnea index ≥10.4 (odds ratio: 6.29, 95% CI: 2.18-18.14, P=0.001), moderate-to-severe OSA (odds ratio: 4.88, 95% CI: 1.42-16.86, P=0.01), and left atrium diameter (odds ratio: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.03-1.22, P=0.01) were independent risk factors associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation after adjusting for relevant variables. However, the association between the diagnosis of OSA and postoperative atrial fibrillation was no longer statistically significant.ConclusionsThe severity of OSA reflected by the apnea-hypopnea index in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who underwent surgery is an independent risk factor for postoperative atrial fibrillation, which is associated with adverse clinical outcomes.

Project description:Importance:Recent data indicate that women with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are older and more symptomatic at presentation and have worse clinical outcomes than men. However, to our knowledge, there are no large studies of the association of patient sex with outcomes after surgical myectomy. Objective:To analyze preoperative characteristics and overall survival of women and men undergoing septal myectomy for obstructive HCM. Design, Setting, and Participants:This retrospective, single-center study included the clinical data of adult patients who underwent septal myectomy from January 1961 through April 2016. Data analysis occurred from December 2017 to December 2018. Exposures:Septal myectomy. Main Outcomes and Measures:Survival. Results:A total of 2506 adults were included; 1379 patients (55.0%) were men. At the time of surgery, women were older, with median (IQR) age of 59.5 (46.6-68.2) years vs 52.9 (42.9-62.7) years in men (P < .001). Women were more likely to have New York Heart Association class III or IV status at presentation (women, 1023 [90.8%]; men, 1169 [84.8%]; P < .001) and more severe obstructive physiology, as reflected in higher resting left ventricular outflow tract gradients (women, 67.0 [36.0-97.0] mm Hg; men, 50.0 [23.0-81.0] mm Hg; P < .001). Women also had a greater likelihood of having moderate or severe mitral regurgitation (606 [55.2%]) than men (581 [43.1%]; P < .001) and higher right ventricular systolic pressure (women, 36.0 [30.0-46.0] mm Hg; men, 33.0 [28.0-39.0] mm Hg; P < .001). The unadjusted overall survival was lower in women, corresponding to a median 3.9-year shorter survival than men (median [IQR] survival time: women, 18.2 [12.1-27.2] years; men, 22.1 [15.1-32.5] years; P < .001). In a multivariable Cox regression analysis, however, the association between sex and mortality was attenuated and not significant after controlling for other baseline variables (hazard ratio, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.76-1.26]; P = .86). Among the covariates in the model, older age at surgery (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 3.09 [95% CI, 2.12-4.52]; P < .001), higher body mass index (aHR, 1.22 [95% CI, 0.90-1.66]; P < .001), greater NYHA class (aHR, 2.31 [95% CI, 1.03-5.15]; P = .04), and presence of diabetes prior to surgery (aHR, 1.57 [95% CI, 1.10-2.24]; P = .01) were each independently associated with increased mortality. Operations performed later in the study period (2013 vs 2004) were associated with decreased mortality (aHR, 0.82 [95% CI, 0.55-1.22]; P = .001). Conclusions and Relevance:In this large cohort of surgical patients with obstructive HCM, we observed significant differences at clinical presentation between women and men, in that women were older and more symptomatic. However, after adjustment for important baseline prognostic factors, there was no survival difference after septal myectomy by sex. Improved care of women with obstructive HCM should focus on early identification of disease and prompt surgical referral of appropriate patients who do not respond to medical treatment.
