Subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICDs) are attractive for preventing sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) as they mitigate risks of transvenous leads in young patients. However, S-ICDs may be associated with increased inappropriate shock (IAS) in HCM patients.
The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence and predictors of appropriate shock and IAS in a contemporary HCM S-ICD cohort.
We collected electrocardiographic and clinical data from HCM patients who underwent S-ICD implantation at 4 centers. Etiologies of all S-ICD shocks were adjudicated. We used Firth penalized logistic regression to derive adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for predictors of IAS.
Eighty-eight HCM patients received S-ICDs (81 for primary and 7 for secondary prevention) with a mean follow-up of 2.7 years. Five patients (5.7%) had 9 IAS episodes (3.8 IAS per 100 patient-years) most often because of sinus tachycardia and/or T-wave oversensing. Independent predictors of IAS were higher 12-lead electrocardiographic R-wave amplitude (aOR 2.55 per 1 mV; 95% confidence interval 1.15-6.38) and abnormal T-wave inversions (aOR 0.16; 95% confidence interval 0.02-0.97). There were 2 appropriate shocks in 7 secondary prevention patients and none in 81 primary prevention patients, despite 96% meeting Enhanced American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association criteria and the mean European HCM Risk-SCD score predicting 5.7% 5-year risk. No patients had sudden death or untreated sustained ventricular arrhythmias.
In this multicenter HCM S-ICD study, IAS were rare and appropriate shocks confined to secondary prevention patients. The R-wave amplitude increased IAS risk, whereas T-wave inversions were protective. HCM primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator guidelines overestimated the risk of appropriate shocks in our cohort.
皮下植入式心律转复除颤器(S-ICD)在肥厚型心肌病(HCM)中预防心源性猝死具有吸引力,因为它降低了年轻患者经静脉导联的风险。然而,S-ICD 可能与 HCM 患者的不适当电击(IAS)增加有关。
本研究旨在评估当代 HCM S-ICD 队列中适当电击和 IAS 的发生率和预测因素。
我们从在 4 个中心接受 S-ICD 植入的 HCM 患者中收集心电图和临床数据。所有 S-ICD 电击的病因均经裁决。我们使用 Firth 惩罚逻辑回归得出 IAS 预测因素的调整优势比(aOR)。
88 例 HCM 患者接受了 S-ICD(81 例为原发性,7 例为二级预防),平均随访 2.7 年。5 例患者(5.7%)发生了 9 次 IAS 发作(每 100 患者年 3.8 次 IAS),最常见的原因是窦性心动过速和/或 T 波过感知。IAS 的独立预测因素是较高的 12 导联心电图 R 波振幅(aOR 每 1 mV 2.55;95%置信区间 1.15-6.38)和异常 T 波倒置(aOR 0.16;95%置信区间 0.02-0.97)。7 例二级预防患者中有 2 例发生适当电击,81 例一级预防患者中无一例发生适当电击,尽管 96%符合增强的美国心脏病学会/美国心脏协会标准,且平均欧洲 HCM 风险-SCD 评分预测 5 年风险为 5.7%。没有患者发生猝死或未经治疗的持续性室性心律失常。
在这项多中心 HCM S-ICD 研究中,IAS 很少见,适当电击仅限于二级预防患者。R 波振幅增加了 IAS 的风险,而 T 波倒置则具有保护作用。我们队列中的 HCM 一级预防植入式心律转复除颤器指南高估了适当电击的风险。
