In recent years, the study of right ventricular (RV) to pulmonary circulation (PC) coupling in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been a matter of special interest. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) ratio has emerged as a reliable noninvasive index of RV to PC coupling. Thus, we hypothesized that TAPSE/PASP would be a predictor of readmission burden in HFpEF. One thousand one hundred and twenty seven consecutive HFpEF patients discharged for acute HF were included. In 367 patients (32.6%), PASP could not be accurately measured by echocardiography, leaving the final sample size to be 760 patients. Negative binomial regression method was used to evaluate the association between TAPSE/PASP ratio and recurrent admissions. Mean age of the cohort was 75.6 ± 9.7 years and 68.3% were women. At a median (interquartile range) follow-up of 2.0 (2.9) years, 352 (46.3%) patients died and 1,214 readmissions were registered in 482 patients (63.4%), being 506 of them HF-related. There was a stepwise increase in the rates of all-cause and HF readmissions by decreasing TAPSE/PASP ratio. After multivariable adjustment, TAPSE/PASP <0.36 was associated with a higher risk of HF-related recurrent admissions (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.51, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01 to 2.24; p = 0.040), whereas patients in the lowest quintile (TAPSE/PASP <0.28) exhibited the highest risk of both all-cause and HF-related recurrent admissions (IRR 1.40, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.87, p = 0.025; and IRR 1.85, 95% CI 1.22 to 2.80, p = 0.004, respectively). In conclusion, TAPSE/PASP ratio, as a noninvasive index of RV-PC coupling, emerges as a strong predictor of recurrent hospitalizations in HFpEF.
近年来,射血分数保留的心力衰竭(HFpEF)中右心室(RV)与肺循环(PC)耦联的研究一直是一个特别关注的问题。三尖瓣环平面收缩期位移(TAPSE)与肺动脉收缩压(PASP)比值已成为 RV 与 PC 耦联的可靠无创指标。因此,我们假设 TAPSE/PASP 将是 HFpEF 再入院负担的预测因子。纳入了 1127 例连续因急性 HF 出院的 HFpEF 患者。在 367 例(32.6%)患者中,超声心动图无法准确测量 PASP,最终样本量为 760 例。使用负二项回归方法评估 TAPSE/PASP 比值与再入院之间的关联。队列的平均年龄为 75.6±9.7 岁,68.3%为女性。中位(四分位间距)随访 2.0(2.9)年后,352 例(46.3%)患者死亡,482 例(63.4%)患者中的 1214 例在 760 例患者中登记再入院,其中 506 例为 HF 相关再入院。随着 TAPSE/PASP 比值的降低,全因和 HF 再入院率呈逐步升高趋势。多变量调整后,TAPSE/PASP<0.36 与 HF 相关再入院的风险增加相关(发生率比 [IRR] 1.51,95%置信区间 [CI] 1.01 至 2.24;p=0.040),而 TAPSE/PASP<0.28 的患者最低五分位数的全因和 HF 相关再入院风险最高(IRR 1.40,95%CI 1.04 至 1.87,p=0.025;IRR 1.85,95%CI 1.22 至 2.80,p=0.004)。总之,TAPSE/PASP 比值作为 RV-PC 耦联的无创指标,是 HFpEF 再入院的有力预测因子。
