ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The dysregulation of systemic blood pressure (BP) variation or cardiac neuroadrenergic dysfunction is associated with adverse cardiovascular events. We aimed to clarify the prognostic significance of neuroadrenergic dysfunction for cardiovascular events in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODSâANDâRESULTS:
We enrolled 63 AMI patients (mean age, 67±12 years) underwent ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) and cardiac iodine-(123)metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) imaging within 4 weeks after AMI onset. We analyzed the circadian BP pattern and heart-to-mediastinum (H/M) MIBG uptake ratio. All the patients were followed for 2 years. The study endpoint was a composite of major adverse cardiovascular events, including all-cause death, MI, coronary revascularization except for the MI culprit lesion, and stroke. Patients with a non-dipper pattern (n=29) or an H/M ratio <1.96 (n=28) had a worse prognosis than those with either a dipper pattern (n=34) or an H/M ratio ≥1.96 (n=35; log-rank, P=0.013 and 0.010, respectively). Patients with both a non-dipper pattern and an H/M ratio <1.96 (n=12) had a significantly worse prognosis than did the other patients (P=0.0020).CONCLUSIONS:
Dysregulation of BP variation and cardiac MIBG uptake were associated with cardiovascular events following AMI. Examining ABPM with MIBG imaging may potentially improve risk stratification in these patients.
