Usefulness of tissue Doppler-derived left ventricular isovolumic contraction velocity in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • This study investigates the relationship between left ventricular (LV) isovolumic contraction velocity (IVCv) and 1-year outcomes in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), highlighting that LVEF alone doesn't fully reflect heart function.
  • A total of 113 patients, mostly elderly, were analyzed for clinical and echocardiographic data; 34 adverse outcomes, including deaths and hospitalizations, were recorded within the first year after discharge.
  • The findings indicate that higher IVCv is linked to better outcomes, suggesting it could be a valuable measure for assessing post-discharge risks in HFpEF patients.

Article Abstract

Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a group of diseases classified by left ventricular (LV) EF, a measure of pump function. However, LVEF does not reflect LV contractility. Previous studies have shown that tissue Doppler-derived LV isovolumic contraction velocity (IVCv) correlates well with the LV peak dP/dt, an index of LV contractility. We explored whether LV IVCv is associated with 1-year post-discharge outcomes in HFpEF.

Methods: We enrolled 113 patients (median age, 86 years, 45 male) with HFpEF (EF on admission ≥ 50%) who were admitted to our hospital for the treatment of acute HF. Clinical characteristics including echocardiographic data were obtained before discharge. IVCv was obtained from the tissue Doppler waveforms of both the septal and lateral mitral annulus of the apical 4-chamber view and averaged data were used. Primary outcomes were all-cause death or unplanned hospitalization due to HF within the first year.

Results: Among all patients, median LVEF was 61%, left atrial diameter was 47 mm, E/e' was 17.5, and IVCv was 4.5 cm/sec; mean tricuspid regurgitation velocity was 2.6 m/sec. Regarding laboratory data, the median plasma B-type natriuretic peptide level was 185 pg/mL. Thirty-four events occurred (15 deaths, 19 unplanned hospitalizations due to HF) within the first year. In multivariate Cox proportional hazards analyses, IVCv was significantly associated with outcomes (hazard ratio .68, 95% confidence interval .50-.89, p = .0095), independent of general characteristics, echocardiographic measures and pertinent laboratory parameters.

Conclusion: LV IVCv was independently associated with 1-year outcomes in patients with HFpEF.
