To determine the frequency of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy following cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D) implantation in super and non-super responders and whether greater improvement in left ventricular (LV) function after CRT is associated with a reduced burden in ICD therapy.
This is a two-centre, retrospective study between January 2002 and September 2011. Patients were classified as non-super responders and super-responders based on the post-CRT ejection fraction (EF) of < 50% and ≥50%, respectively. Of 629 recipients of CRT-D, 37 (5.9%) were super-responders. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator follow-up was available for a mean duration of 6.2 ± 2.7 years. The 5-year rate of antitachycardia pacing (ATP) in super-responders was significantly lower than in non-super responders (2.7% vs. 22.1%, P = 0.004). Super-responders also had a lower 5-year rate of appropriate ICD shock compared with non-super responders (2.7% vs. 14.3%, P = 0.03). On multivariable analysis, factors associated with appropriate ICD therapy (ICD shock/ATP) include male gender (hazard ratio, HR 1.97, 95% confidence interval, 95% CI 1.15-3.35), secondary prevention indication (HR 2.09, 95% CI 1.13-3.85), increased baseline LV end-systolic diameter (HR 1.03 per mm, 95% CI 1.01-1.06) and higher baseline EF (HR 1.03 per %, 95% CI 1.00-1.06) while super-responder status was highly protective (HR 0.13, 95% CI 0.02-0.91).
Recipients of CRT-D that normalize their EF have very low rates of ventricular arrhythmias requiring appropriate ICD therapy compared with those that do not.
确定心脏再同步治疗(CRT-D)后在超级和非超级反应者中植入式心脏复律除颤器(ICD)治疗的频率,以及 CRT 后左心室(LV)功能的更大改善是否与 ICD 治疗负担的降低相关。
这是一项 2002 年 1 月至 2011 年 9 月期间在两个中心进行的回顾性研究。根据 CRT 后射血分数(EF)<50%和≥50%,患者分别被分类为非超级反应者和超级反应者。在 629 例接受 CRT-D 的患者中,37 例(5.9%)为超级反应者。ICD 随访平均持续时间为 6.2±2.7 年。超级反应者的 5 年抗心动过速起搏(ATP)率明显低于非超级反应者(2.7%比 22.1%,P=0.004)。超级反应者的适当 ICD 电击治疗 5 年率也低于非超级反应者(2.7%比 14.3%,P=0.03)。多变量分析显示,与适当 ICD 治疗(ICD 电击/ATP)相关的因素包括男性(危险比,HR 1.97,95%置信区间,95%CI 1.15-3.35)、二级预防适应证(HR 2.09,95%CI 1.13-3.85)、基线 LV 末期收缩直径增加(每毫米 HR 1.03,95%CI 1.01-1.06)和基线 EF 较高(每增加 1% HR 1.03,95%CI 1.00-1.06),而超级反应者状态具有高度保护作用(HR 0.13,95%CI 0.02-0.91)。
与不恢复 EF 的 CRT-D 接受者相比,恢复 EF 的 CRT-D 接受者需要适当 ICD 治疗的室性心律失常发生率非常低。
