Ventricular arrhythmias can be life-threatening complications of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
To describe the incidence, predictors and in-hospital impact of early ventricular arrhythmia (EVA, occurring<day 2 after STEMI) and late ventricular arrhythmia (LVA, occurring≥day 2 after STEMI) in patients with STEMI.
Data from 13,523 patients enrolled in a prospective registry were analysed. Logistic and Cox regressions were performed to identify predictors of EVA, LVA and in-hospital all-cause mortality. Predictors of LVA were used to build a risk score.
EVA occurred in 678 patients (5%), whereas 120 patients (0.9%) experienced LVA, at a median timing of 3days after STEMI. EVA was associated with a significantly higher risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio: 1.44, 95% confidence interval: 1.17-1.76; P=0.001), whereas no association was observed with LVA (hazard ratio 0.86, 95% confidence interval 0.57-1.28; P=0.45). Multivariable predictors of LVA were: age≥65years; serum creatinine≥85μmol/L on admission; pulse pressure≤45mmHg on admission; presence of a Q wave on admission electrocardiogram; Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow grade<3 after percutaneous coronary intervention; and left ventricular ejection fraction≤45%. The score derived from these variables allowed the classification of patients into four risk categories: low (0-21); low-to-intermediate (22-34); intermediate-to-high (35-44); and high (≥45). Observed LVA rates were 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.9% and 2.5%, across the four risk categories, respectively. The model demonstrated good discrimination (20-fold cross-validated c-statistic of 0.76) and adequate calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow P=0.23).
EVA is 5-fold more common than LVA in the setting of STEMI, and portends a higher risk of in-hospital all-cause mortality. LVA is mainly associated with the patient's baseline risk profile and surrogate markers of larger infarct size. We developed and internally validated a risk score identifying patients at high risk of LVA for whom early intensive care unit discharge may not be suitable.
室性心律失常是 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)的致命并发症。
描述 STEMI 患者中早期室性心律失常(EVA,发生在 STEMI 后<2 天)和晚期室性心律失常(LVA,发生在 STEMI 后≥2 天)的发生率、预测因素和院内影响。
对前瞻性登记的 13523 例患者的数据进行了分析。使用逻辑回归和 Cox 回归来确定 EVA、LVA 和院内全因死亡率的预测因素。使用 LVA 的预测因素构建风险评分。
678 例(5%)患者发生 EVA,120 例(0.9%)患者发生 LVA,中位时间为 STEMI 后 3 天。EVA 与全因死亡率显著增加相关(风险比:1.44,95%置信区间:1.17-1.76;P=0.001),而与 LVA 无关(风险比 0.86,95%置信区间 0.57-1.28;P=0.45)。LVA 的多变量预测因素为:年龄≥65 岁;入院时血清肌酐≥85μmol/L;入院时脉压≤45mmHg;入院时心电图有 Q 波;经皮冠状动脉介入治疗后心肌梗死溶栓血流分级<3;左心室射血分数≤45%。从这些变量中得出的评分允许将患者分为四个风险类别:低(0-21);低至中等(22-34);中至高(35-44);和高(≥45)。在四个风险类别中,观察到的 LVA 发生率分别为 0.2%、0.3%、0.9%和 2.5%。该模型具有良好的区分度(20 倍交叉验证 C 统计量为 0.76)和适当的校准度(Hosmer-Lemeshow P=0.23)。
STEMI 中 EVA 比 LVA 常见 5 倍,预示着院内全因死亡率更高。LVA 主要与患者的基线风险状况和较大梗死面积的替代标志物相关。我们开发并内部验证了一个风险评分,可识别出发生 LVA 风险较高的患者,这些患者可能不适合早期从重症监护病房出院。
