ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response stratified by left ventricular (LV) remodeling revealed differing mortality profiles for distinct patient cohorts. Measuring functional end points, as well as mortality, may better assess CRT efficacy and inform patient management. However, the association between LV remodeling and functional outcomes after CRT is not well understood.OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term CRT outcomes by extent of LV remodeling.METHODS:
REsynchronization reVErses Remodeling in Systolic Left vEntricular dysfunction (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00271154) was a prospective, double-blind, randomized trial of CRT. Subjects were classified on the basis of LV end-systolic volume (LVESV) change from baseline to 6 months post-CRT worsened (increase), stabilized (0%-≤15% reduction), responder (>15%-<30% reduction), and super-responder (≥30% reduction). Subjects were evaluated annually for 5 years.RESULTS:
The analyses included 353 subjects randomized to CRT-ON arm. All-cause mortality was higher in the worsened group than in the other 3 response groups (29.8% vs 8.0%; P < .0001), with no difference in survival among those groups (P = .87). A significant interaction between the LVESV group and time was observed for health status and quality of life (P = .02 for both). The interaction was not significant for 6-minute hall walk (P = .79); however, super-responders had increased walk distance compared with the other 3 response groups (P = .03).CONCLUSION:
Preventing further increase in LVESV with CRT was associated with reduced mortality, whereas functional measure improvement was associated with LV remodeling magnitude. These results support the consideration of functional and mortality end points to assess CRT efficacy and provide further evidence that the dichotomous "responder and nonresponder" classification should be modified.Palavras-chave
