Prognostic factors are extensively studied in heart failure; however, their role in severe Chagasic heart failure have not been established.
To identify the association of clinical and laboratory factors with the prognosis of severe Chagasic heart failure, as well as the association of these factors with mortality and survival in a 7.5-year follow-up.
60 patients with severe Chagasic heart failure were evaluated regarding the following variables: age, blood pressure, ejection fraction, serum sodium, creatinine, 6-minute walk test, non-sustained ventricular tachycardia, QRS width, indexed left atrial volume, and functional class.
53 (88.3%) patients died during follow-up, and 7 (11.7%) remained alive. Cumulative overall survival probability was approximately 11%. Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (HR = 2.11; 95% CI: 1.04 - 4.31; p<0.05) and indexed left atrial volume ≥ 72 mL/m2 (HR = 3.51; 95% CI: 1.63 - 7.52; p<0.05) were the only variables that remained as independent predictors of mortality.
The presence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia on Holter and indexed left atrial volume > 72 mL/m2 are independent predictors of mortality in severe Chagasic heart failure, with cumulative survival probability of only 11% in 7.5 years.
心力衰竭的预后因素已得到广泛研究;然而,它们在严重恰加斯病性心力衰竭中的作用尚未明确。
确定临床和实验室因素与严重恰加斯病性心力衰竭预后的关联,以及这些因素与7.5年随访中的死亡率和生存率的关联。
对60例严重恰加斯病性心力衰竭患者进行了以下变量的评估:年龄、血压、射血分数、血清钠、肌酐、6分钟步行试验、非持续性室性心动过速、QRS波宽度、左心房容积指数和心功能分级。
53例(88.3%)患者在随访期间死亡,7例(11.7%)存活。累积总生存概率约为11%。非持续性室性心动过速(HR = 2.11;95%CI:1.04 - 4.31;p<0.05)和左心房容积指数≥72 mL/m2(HR = 3.51;95%CI:1.63 - 7.52;p<0.05)是仅有的仍作为死亡率独立预测因素的变量。
动态心电图显示存在非持续性室性心动过速以及左心房容积指数>72 mL/m2是严重恰加斯病性心力衰竭死亡率的独立预测因素,7.5年的累积生存率仅为11%。
