"Malignant" Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Identifies Subjects at High Risk for Progression to Asymptomatic Left Ventricular Dysfunction, Heart Failure, and Death: MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis).

ABSTRACT: As heart failure (HF)-associated morbidity and mortality continue to escalate, enhanced focus on prevention is increasingly important. "Malignant" left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH): LVH combined with an elevated cardiac biomarker reflecting either injury (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T), or strain (amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) has predicted accelerated progression to HF. We sought to determine whether malignant LVH identified community-dwelling adults initially free of cardiovascular disease at high risk of asymptomatic decline in LV ejection fraction or a clinical cardiovascular event.A total of 4985 of 6814 individuals without prevalent cardiovascular disease underwent baseline cardiac magnetic resonance for LVH in combination with measurement of plasma high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide as part of MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) and were subsequently divided into 4 groups: (1) No LVH, no elevated biomarkers (n=2206; 44.3%); (2) No LVH, ?1 elevated biomarkers (n=2275; 45.7%); (3) LVH, no elevated biomarkers (n=153; 3.0%); and (4) LVH, ?1 elevated biomarkers (malignant LVH; n=351; 7.0%). Cardiac magnetic resonance was repeated 10 years later (n=2831) for assessment of LV ejection fraction <50%. Median follow-up was 12.2 years. Malignant LVH was associated with 7.0-, 3.5-, and 2.6-fold adjusted increases in incidence of HF, cardiovascular death, and asymptomatic LV dysfunction, respectively, versus group 1. New-onset HF was predominately HF with reduced ejection fraction (9.5-fold increase).Malignant LVH is predictive of progression to asymptomatic LV dysfunction, HF (particularly HF with reduced ejection fraction), and cardiovascular death. Consequently, malignant LVH represents a high-risk phenotype among individuals without known cardiovascular disease, which should be targeted for increased surveillance and more-aggressive therapies.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough left ventricular cardiac geometric indices such as size and sphericity characterize adverse remodeling and have prognostic value in symptomatic patients, little is known of shape distributions in subclinical populations. We sought to quantify shape variation across a large number of asymptomatic volunteers, and examine differences among sub-cohorts.MethodsAn atlas was constructed comprising 1,991 cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) cases contributed from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis baseline examination. A mathematical model describing regional wall motion and shape was used to establish a coordinate map registered to the cardiac anatomy. The model was automatically customized to left ventricular contours and anatomical landmarks, corrected for breath-hold mis-registration between image slices. Mathematical techniques were used to characterize global shape distributions, after removal of translations, rotations, and scale due to height. Differences were quantified among ethnicity, sex, smoking, hypertension and diabetes sub-cohorts.ResultsThe atlas construction process yielded accurate representations of global shape (errors between manual and automatic surface points in 244 validation cases were less than the image pixel size). After correction for height, the dominant shape component was associated with heart size, explaining 32% of the total shape variance at end-diastole and 29% at end-systole. After size, the second dominant shape component was sphericity at end-diastole (13%), and concentricity at end-systole (10%). The resulting shape components distinguished differences due to ethnicity and risk factors with greater statistical power than traditional mass and volume indices.ConclusionsWe have quantified the dominant components of global shape variation in the adult asymptomatic population. The data and results are available at cardiacatlas.org. Shape distributions were principally explained by size, sphericity and concentricity, which are known correlates of adverse outcomes. Atlas-based global shape analysis provides a powerful method for quantifying left ventricular shape differences in asymptomatic populations.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT00005487.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with chronic kidney disease, but the association of LVH with a mild decrease in kidney function is not known. We hypothesized that mild and moderate decreases in kidney function, reflected in greater serum cystatin C concentrations, would be linearly associated with a greater prevalence of LVH. STUDY DESIGN:Cross-sectional observational study. SETTINGS & PARTICIPANTS:Participants in baseline examinations in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), a population-based study with several sites in the United States. PREDICTORS:Cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR(cysC)) and creatinine-based eGFR. OUTCOMES:LVH and LV mass index. MEASUREMENTS:Serum cystatin C and creatinine, LV mass obtained by using magnetic resonance imaging. LVH cutoff values for men and women were defined by the upper 95th percentile of LV mass index of all MESA participants without hypertension. RESULTS:Of the 4,971 participants analyzed, mean creatinine-based eGFR was 81 +/- 17 (SD) mL/min/1.73 m(2) and mean eGFR(cysC) was 94 +/- 32 mL/min/1.73 m(2). LVH was distinctly more prevalent (>12%) in only the lowest 2 deciles of eGFR(cysC) (<75 mL/min/1.73 m(2)). When 435 participants (9%) with stage 3 or higher chronic kidney disease (creatinine-based eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) were excluded, the odds for LVH increased for each lower category of eGFR(cysC) less than 75 mL/min/1.73 m(2): odds ratio 1.6 for LVH with eGFR(cysC) of 60 to 75 mL/min/1.73 m(2) (95% confidence interval, 1.20 to 2.07; P = 0.001), and odds ratio 2.0 for eGFR(cysC) less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) (95% confidence interval, 1.03 to 3.75; P = 0.04) after adjustment for demographic factors, study site, diabetes, and smoking. The association of lower eGFR(cysC) with LVH was attenuated after further adjustment for hypertension. LIMITATIONS:Cross-sectional rather than longitudinal design, lack of participants with more advanced kidney disease, lack of a direct measurement of glomerular filtration rate. CONCLUSIONS:In participants without chronic kidney disease, eGFR(cysC) of 75 mL/min/1.73 m(2) or less was associated with a greater odds of LVH.
