This study aimed to examine the relationship between chronic coronary artery total occlusion (CTO) status and the occurrence of ventricular tachycardia (VT)/ventricular fibrillation (VF) or appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy.
CTO is a significant problem in patients with ischemic heart disease. However, the extent to which it predisposes affected individuals to VT/VF and whether these arrhythmic events could be prevented by revascularization are unclear. Therefore, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to examine the relationship between CTO status and the occurrence of VT/VF or appropriate ICD therapy.
PubMed and Embase databases were searched until November 16, 2017, identifying 137 studies.
Seventeen studies involving 54,594 subjects (mean age, 61 ± 21 years of age, 81% male) with a mean follow-up of 43 ± 31 months were included. The presence of CTO was associated with higher risk of VT/VF or appropriate ICD therapy (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.99; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.53 to 2.59; p < 0.0001, I = 3%) but not in cardiac mortality (aHR: 2.59; 95% CI: 0.64 to 10.59; p = 0.18, I = 86%) or in all-cause mortality (aHR: 1.70; 95% CI: 0.84 to 3.46; p = 0.14; I = 64%). Compared to patients with non-infarct-related CTOs, those with infarct-related CTOs have a higher risk of VT/VF or appropriate ICD therapy (aHR: 2.47; 95% CI: 1.76 to 3.46; p < 0.0001; I = 14%), cardiac mortality (aHR: 2.73; 95% CI: 1.02 to 7.30; p < 0.05; I = 79%) and higher all-cause mortality (aHR: 1.69; 95% CI: 1.19 to 2.40; p < 0.01; I = 40%). Nonrevascularization of CTOs tended to be associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to successful revascularization (unadjusted HR: 1.52; 95% CI: 0.96 to 2.43; p = 0.08; I = 76).
CTOs, especially infarct-related, are associated with high risk of VT/VF or appropriate ICD therapy and mortality. ICD implantation could be beneficial. However, it is not clear that revascularization has an impact on the outcome of patients with CTOs.
本研究旨在探讨慢性冠状动脉完全闭塞(CTO)与室性心动过速(VT)/心室颤动(VF)或适当的植入式心脏复律除颤器(ICD)治疗发生之间的关系。
CTO 是缺血性心脏病患者的一个重大问题。然而,它使受影响个体发生 VT/VF 的倾向性程度,以及这些心律失常事件是否可以通过血运重建来预防,尚不清楚。因此,进行了一项系统评价和荟萃分析,以评估 CTO 状态与 VT/VF 或适当的 ICD 治疗发生之间的关系。
检索 PubMed 和 Embase 数据库,截至 2017 年 11 月 16 日,共识别出 137 项研究,涉及 54594 例患者(平均年龄 61±21 岁,81%为男性),平均随访 43±31 个月。
纳入了 17 项研究,共涉及 54594 例患者(平均年龄 61±21 岁,81%为男性),平均随访 43±31 个月。存在 CTO 与 VT/VF 或适当的 ICD 治疗发生的风险增加相关(调整后的危险比[aHR]:1.99;95%置信区间[CI]:1.53 至 2.59;p<0.0001,I²=3%),但与心脏死亡率(aHR:2.59;95%CI:0.64 至 10.59;p=0.18,I²=86%)或全因死亡率(aHR:1.70;95%CI:0.84 至 3.46;p=0.14,I²=64%)无关。与非梗死相关 CTO 患者相比,梗死相关 CTO 患者 VT/VF 或适当的 ICD 治疗发生的风险更高(aHR:2.47;95%CI:1.76 至 3.46;p<0.0001;I²=14%)、心脏死亡率(aHR:2.73;95%CI:1.02 至 7.30;p<0.05;I²=79%)和更高的全因死亡率(aHR:1.69;95%CI:1.19 至 2.40;p<0.01;I²=40%)。与成功血运重建相比,CTO 非血运重建患者的全因死亡率增加(未调整的 HR:1.52;95%CI:0.96 至 2.43;p=0.08;I²=76%)。
CTO,特别是梗死相关的 CTO,与 VT/VF 或适当的 ICD 治疗和死亡率的高风险相关。植入 ICD 可能有益。然而,尚不清楚血运重建是否对 CTO 患者的结局有影响。
