Perioperative changes in left ventricular systolic function following surgical revascularization.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nearly 1/3rd of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) have left ventricular systolic dysfunction. However, the extent, direction and implications of perioperative changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) have not been well characterized in these patients.

Methods

We studied the changes in LVEF among 549 patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVEF <50%) who underwent CABG as part of the Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure (STICH) trial. Patients had pre- and post-CABG (4 month) LVEF assessments using identical cardiac imaging modality, interpreted at a core laboratory. An absolute change of >10% in LVEF was considered clinically significant.

Results

Of the 549 patients (mean age 61.4±9.55 years, and 72 [13.1%] women), 145 (26.4%) had a >10% improvement in LVEF, 369 (67.2%) had no change and 35 (6.4%) had >10% worsening of LVEF following CABG. Patients with lower preoperative LVEF were more likely to experience an improvement after CABG (odds ratio 1.36; 95% CI 1.21-1.53; per 5% lower preoperative LVEF; p <0.001). Notably, incidence of postoperative improvement in LVEF was not influenced by presence, nor absence, of myocardial viability (25.5% vs. 28.3% respectively, p = 0.67). After adjusting for age, sex, baseline LVEF, and NYHA Class, a >10% improvement in LVEF after CABG was associated with a 57% lower risk of all-cause mortality (HR: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.26-0.71).

Conclusions

Among patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy undergoing CABG, 26.4% had >10% improvement in LVEF. An improvement in LVEF was more likely in patients with lower preoperative LVEF and was associated with improved long-term survival.

Project description:AimsRecent studies indicated that sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) reduced heart failure hospitalization in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, whether SGTL2i can improve left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function remained unclear. This study aimed to compare the change in echocardiographic parameters in T2DM patients receiving SGLT2i with a different baseline LV ejection fraction (LVEF). The change in echocardiographic parameters was also compared between T2DM patients treated with SGLT2i and those treated with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4i).Methods and resultsThis multicentre cohort study consecutively enrolled 665, 119, and 132 T2DM patients treated with SGLT2i with a preserved (≥50%), moderately reduced (40-50%), and reduced baseline LVEF (<40%), respectively, with paired baseline and post-treatment echocardiographic data available between 1 June 2016 and 31 May 2018. There were 212 patients treated with DPP4i with paired baseline and post-treatment echocardiographic data available at the same time. For those patients treated with DPP4i, 45 patients had impaired baseline LVEF of <50%. Echocardiographic parameters, including LVEF, LV end-diastolic volume, LV end-systolic volume (LVESV), and LV diastolic function, were analysed at baseline and after treatment. After a median SGLT2i treatment period of 230 days, patients with reduced LVEF were associated with an improvement in LVEF from 29.4 ± 7.4% to 42.2 ± 15.2% (P < 0.0001) and decrease in LVESV from 133.2 ± 49.2 to 117.4 ± 60.1 mL (P = 0.0002). Patients with moderately reduced LVEF were associated with an improvement in LVEF from 44.8 ± 2.9% to 49.7 ± 12.4% (P < 0.0001) and decrease in LVESV from 90.7 ± 31.1 to 80.0 ± 36.2 mL (P = 0.0017). Patients with preserved LVEF did not show an improvement in LVEF and LVESV after SGLT2i treatment. There were no significant changes of LV end-diastolic volume, LV diastolic function, and LV wall thickness in three study groups after SGLT2i treatment. In contrast, patients with impaired baseline LVEF (<50%) did not show any change in LVEF and LVESV after DPP4i treatment.ConclusionsSodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor was associated with an improvement in LV systolic function in patients with T2DM with reduced and moderately reduced LVEF. In contrast, DPP4i treatment was not associated with any improvement in LVEF among patients with impaired LVEF.

Project description:ObjectivesTo investigate the predictive roles of pre-operative left ventricular (LV) size and ejection fraction (EF) in EF improvement and outcome following revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and LV dysfunction.BackgroundRevascularization may improve EF and long-term outcomes of patients with LV dysfunction. However, the determinants of EF improvement have not yet been investigated comprehensively.Materials and methodsPatients with EF measurements before and 3 months after revascularization were enrolled in a cohort study (No. ChiCTR2100044378). All patients had baseline EF ≤ 40%. EF improvement was defined as absolute increase in EF > 5%. According to LV end-systolic diameter (LVESD) (severely enlarged or not) and EF (≤35% or of 36-40%) at baseline, patients were categorized into four groups.ResultsA total of 939 patients were identified. A total of 549 (58.5%) had EF improved. Both LVESD [odds ratio (OR) per 1 mm decrease, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.04-1.07; P < 0.001] and EF (OR per 1% decrease, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.03-1.10; P < 0.001) at baseline were predictive of EF improvement after revascularization. Patients with LVESD not severely enlarged and EF ≤ 35% had higher odds of being in the EF improved group in comparison with other three groups both in unadjusted and adjusted analysis (all P < 0.001). The median follow-up time was 3.5 years. Patients with LVESD not severely enlarged and EF ≤ 35% had significantly lower risk of all-cause death in comparison with patients with LVESD severely enlarged and EF ≤ 35% [hazard ratio (HR), 2.73; 95% CI, 1.28-5.82; P = 0.009], and tended to have lower risk in comparison with patients with LVESD severely enlarged and EF of 36-40% (HR, 2.00; 95% CI, 0.93-4.27; P = 0.074).ConclusionAmong CAD patients with reduced EF (≤ 40%) who underwent revascularization, smaller pre-operative LVESD and lower EF had greatest potential to have EF improvement and better outcome. Our findings imply the indication for revascularization in patients with LV dysfunction who presented with lower EF but smaller LV size.
