Akinesis becoming dyskinesis (AKBD) at high-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) has been disregarded as a marker of myocardial ischemia. However, its prognostic significance is unknown.
We sought to assess the long-term outcome of patients with AKBD during DSE.
A total of 731 patients (age 62 +/- 15 years, 628 men) with two or more akinetic left ventricular segments at rest underwent DSE and were followed up for a mean period of 5 +/- 2.7 years. The end points considered during follow-up were hard cardiac events (cardiac death and nonfatal myocardial infarction) and heart failure.
Dyskinesis in two or more segments at peak stress developed in 60 patients (8%). Resting wall-motion score index was 2.6 +/- 0.56 in patients with AKBD versus 2.3 +/- 0.55 in patients without AKBD (P = .0002). Ischemia occurred in 197 patients (27%). During follow-up, 254 patients (35%) developed hard cardiac events and 204 patients (28%) developed heart failure. In all, 226 patients (31%) died of various causes (cardiac death in 172 patients). The annualized hard cardiac event rate was 11% in patients with AKBD and 6% in patients without (P = .03). The incidence of heart failure was significantly higher in patients with AKBD than without (47% vs 26%, P < .001). Independent predictors of hard cardiac events were age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.03 [confidence interval {CI} = 1.01-1.04]), previous myocardial infarction (HR 1.4 [CI = 1.1-1.9]), diabetes mellitus (HR 1.8 [CI = 1.3-2.5]), resting wall-motion score index (HR 1.11 [CI = 1.01-1.04]), and AKBD (HR 1.6 [CI = 1.1-2.4]).
AKBD at peak DSE is associated with increased risk of cardiac events in patients with akinetic segments at baseline echocardiogram.
在高剂量多巴酚丁胺负荷超声心动图(DSE)检查中,运动不能转变为运动障碍(AKBD)一直未被视为心肌缺血的标志物。然而,其预后意义尚不清楚。
我们试图评估DSE检查时发生AKBD的患者的长期预后。
共有731例静息时存在两个或更多左心室运动不能节段的患者接受了DSE检查,并进行了平均5±2.7年的随访。随访期间考虑的终点事件为严重心脏事件(心源性死亡和非致死性心肌梗死)和心力衰竭。
60例患者(8%)在负荷高峰时出现两个或更多节段的运动障碍。AKBD患者静息壁运动评分指数为2.6±0.56,无AKBD患者为2.3±0.55(P = 0.0002)。197例患者(27%)出现心肌缺血。随访期间,254例患者(35%)发生严重心脏事件,204例患者(28%)发生心力衰竭。共有226例患者(31%)死于各种原因(172例心源性死亡)。AKBD患者的年化严重心脏事件发生率为11%,无AKBD患者为6%(P = 0.03)。AKBD患者的心力衰竭发生率显著高于无AKBD患者(47%对26%,P < 0.001)。严重心脏事件的独立预测因素为年龄(风险比[HR] 1.03 [置信区间{CI}=1.01 - 1.04])、既往心肌梗死(HR 1.4 [CI = 1.1 - 1.9])、糖尿病(HR 1.8 [CI = 1.3 - 2.5])、静息壁运动评分指数(HR 1.11 [CI = 1.01 - 1.04])和AKBD(HR 1.6 [CI = 1.1 - 2.4])。
在基线超声心动图检查存在运动不能节段的患者中,DSE负荷高峰时的AKBD与心脏事件风险增加相关。
