RESUMEN

Equipoise remains about how best to measure cardiac output (CO) in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). In this study, direct Fick CO was compared with thermodilution (TD) and indirect Fick (iFick) CO in 61 LVAD patients. TD and LaFarge iFick showed moderate correlation with direct Fick (R2 = 0.49 and R2 = 0.38, p < 0.001 for both), while Dehmer and Bergstra iFick showed poor correlation with direct Fick (R2 = 0.29 and R2 = 0.31, p < 0.001 for both). Absolute bias between all CO estimation techniques and direct Fick CO was lowest for TD compared to iFick methods but significant for all methods. All methods tended to overestimate CO compared to direct Fick, with greatest overestimation present in those with the lowest measured direct Fick CO. Bias and frequency of significant discrepancy were least using TD and Lafarge iFick CO estimation methods in this study, with TD CO demonstrating modestly better correlation and less heteroscedasticity compared to Lafarge.

RESUMEN

Late right heart failure (LRHF) following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation remains poorly characterized and challenging to predict. We performed a multicenter retrospective study of LRHF in 237 consecutive adult LVAD patients, in which LRHF was defined according to the 2020 Mechanical Circulatory Support Academic Research Consortium guidelines. Clinical and hemodynamic variables were assessed pre- and post-implant. Competing-risk regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used to assess outcomes. LRHF prediction was assessed using multivariable logistic and Cox proportional hazards regression. Among 237 LVAD patients, 45 (19%) developed LRHF at a median of 133 days post-LVAD. LRHF patients had more frequent heart failure hospitalizations ( p < 0.001) alongside other complications. LRHF patients did not experience reduced bridge-to-transplant rates but did suffer increased mortality (hazard ratio 1.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11-3.42; p = 0.02). Hemodynamically, LRHF patients demonstrated higher right atrial pressure, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), but no difference in pulmonary arterial wedge pressure. History of early right heart failure, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) > 35 mg/dl at 1 month post-LVAD, and diuretic requirements at 1 month post-LVAD were each significant, independent predictors of LRHF in multivariable analysis. An LRHF prediction risk score incorporating these variables predicted LRHF with excellent discrimination (log-rank p < 0.0001). Overall, LRHF post-LVAD is more common than generally appreciated, with significant morbidity and mortality. Elevated PVR and precapillary pulmonary pressures may play a role. A risk score using early right heart failure, elevated BUN, and diuretic requirements 1 month post implant predicted the development of LRHF.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Early right heart failure (RHF) remains a major source of morbidity and mortality after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, yet efforts to predict early RHF have proven only modestly successful. Pharmacologic unloading of the left ventricle may be a risk stratification approach allowing for assessment of right ventricular and hemodynamic reserve. METHODS: We performed a multicenter, retrospective analysis of patients who had undergone continuous-flow LVAD implantation from October 2011 to April 2020. Only those who underwent vasodilator testing with nitroprusside during their preimplant right heart catheterization were included (n = 70). Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine independent predictors of early RHF as defined by Mechanical Circulatory Support-Academic Research Consortium. RESULTS: Twenty-seven patients experienced post-LVAD early RHF (39%). Baseline clinical characteristics were similar between patients with and without RHF. Patients without RHF, however, achieved higher peak stroke volume index (SVI) (30.1 ± 8.8 vs 21.7 ± 7.4 mL/m2; p < 0.001; AUC: 0.78; optimal cut-point: 22.1 mL/m2) during nitroprusside administration. Multivariable analysis revealed that peak SVI was significantly associated with early RHF, demonstrating a 16% increase in risk of early RHF per 1 ml/m2 decrease in SVI. A follow up cohort of 10 consecutive patients from July 2020 to October 2021 resulted in all patients being categorized appropriately in regards to early RHF versus no RHF according to peak SVI. CONCLUSION: Peak SVI with nitroprusside administration was independently associated with post-LVAD early RHF while resting hemodynamics were not. Vasodilator testing may prove to be a strong risk stratification tool when assessing LVAD candidacy though additional prospective validation is needed.
