RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Echocardiographic assessment of diastolic function in the setting of Fontan physiology is not well validated. We recently demonstrated that atrioventricular systolic to diastolic duration ratio (AVV S/D ratio) independently predicts mortality in Fontan-adults and that a value >1.1 was associated with poor prognosis. PURPOSE: To correlate echocardiographic measures of diastolic function with direct measurement of ventricular end-diastolic pressure (VEDP). METHODS: A retrospective analysis was undertaken of Fontan-adults who had transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) within 12â¯months of direct measurement of VEDP during cardiac catheterisation. RESULTS: Fifteen Fontan adults (3 males, mean age 29⯱â¯9â¯years) were evaluated. Thirteen patients had dominant morphologic left ventricle and 2 had morphologic right ventricle. Four had atriopulmonary connection and 11 had total cavopulmonary connection. Twelve patients were NYHA Class I/II and 3 were Class III. Time between TTE and cardiac catheter was 46⯱â¯113â¯days; VEDP was 8⯱â¯5â¯mmHg. Ten patients had preserved ventricular function, 3 had mild and 2 had moderate systolic impairment by subjective TTE assessment. AVV S/D ratio had the strongest correlation with VEDP (râ¯=â¯0.8, pâ¯=â¯0.001). AVV S/D ratioâ¯≥â¯1.1 had 100% positive predictive value and 92% negative predictive value for detecting VEDP >10â¯mmHg. The only conventional echocardiographic measure of diastolic function that correlated with VEDP was pulmonary vein A wave - atrioventricular A wave duration difference (râ¯=â¯0.8, pâ¯=â¯0.02). CONCLUSIONS: TTE measures reflect VEDP in adults with a Fontan circulation. AVV S/D ratio is a simple parameter yet to enter standard practice that can be used to identify elevated VEDP.

Aims: The New York Heart Association functional classification (NYHA class) is often used to describe the functional capacity of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD), albeit with limited evidence on its validity in this heterogeneous population. We aimed to validate the NYHA functional classification in ACHD by examining its relation to objective measures of limitation using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and mortality. Methods and results: This study included all ACHD patients who underwent a CPET between 2005 and 2015 at the Royal Brompton, in whom functional capacity was graded according to the NYHA classification. Congenital heart diagnoses were classified according to the Bethesda score. Time to all-cause mortality from CPET was recorded in all 2781 ACHD patients (mean age 33.8 ± 14.2 years) enrolled in the study. There was a strong relation between NYHA class and peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2), ventilation per unit in carbon dioxide production (VE/VCO2) slope and the Bethesda classification (P < 0.0001). Although a large number of 'asymptomatic' (NYHA class 1) patients did not achieve a 'normal' peak VO2, the NYHA class was a strong predictor of mortality, with an 8.7-fold increased mortality risk in class 3 compared with class 1 (hazard ratio 8.68, 95% confidence interval: 5.26-14.35, P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Despite underestimating the degree of limitation in some ACHD patients, NYHA classification remains a valuable clinical tool. It correlates with objective measures of exercise and the severity of underlying cardiac disease, as well as mid- to long-term mortality and should, thus, be into incorporated the routine assessment and risk stratification of these patients.

BACKGROUND: Although mitral regurgitation (MR) affects a relevant and increasing number of elderly, an optimal management of this high-risk population is challenging. METHODS AND RESULTS: The aim of this prospective, observational study was to compare one-year outcomes of MitraClip therapy in high surgical risk patients with moderate-to-severe or severe MR between patients aged <75 versus ≥75years. A total of 180 patients were included: 92 were <75years and 88 were ≥75years old. At one-year follow-up the primary efficacy endpoint (composite of death, surgery for mitral valve dysfunction and grade 3+ or 4+ MR) occurred in 41 patients (24.5%), with similar rates between those aged <75years (23.9%) and those ≥75years (25.2%), p=0.912. A total of 21 (12.2%) deaths were observed within 1year after the MitraClip procedure, without significant differences in cumulative mortality rates between elderly and younger patients (10.8% vs. 13.3%, respectively, p=0.574). Compared with baseline, the significant reduction in MR severity achieved after the procedure was sustained at one-year follow-up, in both elderly and younger patients and a significant improvement in NYHA functional class was observed in both groups. A total of 18 (10.0%) patients experienced a re-hospitalization for acute heart failure within one-year after the MitraClip procedure, with no significant differences between elderly and younger. At one-year follow-up both elderly and younger patients showed significant reductions in left ventricular volumes, with changes of similar extent between the two subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: MitraClip therapy can be considered a viable option also among subsets with more advanced age.

AIMS: Our aim was to evaluate the impact of baseline chronic kidney disease (CKD) on clinical outcomes after percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (PMVR). METHODS AND RESULTS: Two hundred and fourteen consecutive patients dichotomised by the presence of baseline CKD (n=113) or no-CKD (n=101) had their clinical outcomes compared up to 12-month follow-up. The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of major adverse events and the primary efficacy endpoint was freedom from death, surgery for MV dysfunction, or grade ≥3+ MR. The primary safety endpoint was demonstrated in 12.4% vs. 2.0% in CKD and no-CKD patients, respectively (p=0.003). The primary efficacy endpoint at 12 months was significantly lower in CKD patients (65.8% vs. 84.2%, respectively, log-rank p=0.005). While MR reduction and NYHA functional class improvement were mostly sustained and equivalent up to 12 months in no-CKD patients, they were impaired in CKD patients. Baseline CKD was an independent predictor of the primary efficacy endpoint (adjusted HR 2.48, 95% CI: 1.29 to 4.79, p=0.006) and calcified leaflet predicted grade ≥3+ MR at 12 months (adjusted HR 6.56, 95% CI: 2.71 to 15.88, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: CKD patients had worse clinical outcomes compared with no-CKD patients post PMVR. CKD was an independent predictor of the primary efficacy endpoint, whereas calcified leaflet was an independent predictor of grade ≥3+ MR at 12 months.

AIMS: To appraise the early effect of percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip system on myocardial function using real-time three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3D-STE). METHODS: Consecutive patients with moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation, undergoing mitral valve repair with the MitraClip system, were prospectively evaluated during the peri-procedural workout and follow-up. Left ventricular deformation was evaluated by a two-dimensional and 3D speckle-tracking analysis. 3D-STE acquisitions were elaborated obtaining real-time 3D global longitudinal strain evaluation, and by appraising both volumetric and hemodynamic parameters (i.e. left ventricular end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume, left ventricular ejection fraction, cardiac output, and stroke volume). RESULTS: In all, 30 patients were included. At 1-month follow-up, 3D-STE analysis revealed no changes in left ventricular end-diastolic volume (162.6â±â73.7âml at baseline vs. 159.8â±â64.5âml at 1-month follow-up; Pâ=â0.63) and a downward trend in left ventricular end-systolic volume (104.7â±â52.0 vs. 100.1â±â50.4âml, respectively; Pâ=â0.06). Left ventricular ejection fraction did not significantly increase (38.1â±â11.3% at baseline vs. 39.4â±â11.0% at 1-month follow-up; Pâ=â0.20). No significant changes were reported in cardiac output (4.3â±â2.0âl/min at baseline vs. 4.0â±â1.5âl/min at follow-up; Pâ=â0.377) and in stroke volume (59.5â±â25.5âml at baseline vs. 59.9â±â20.7âml at follow-up; Pâ=â0.867). On the contrary, left ventricular deformation capability significantly improved, with the real-time 3D global longitudinal strain value changing from -9.8â±â4.1% at baseline to -11.0â±â4.4% at follow-up (Pâ=â0.018). CONCLUSIONS: Accurately assessing myocardial function by the use of 3D-STE, this study reported irrelevant early changes in left ventricular size, but a positive effect on left ventricular deformation capability following mitral valve repair with the MitraClip system. These preliminary results need to be confirmed in larger series and extended to long-term follow-up.

AIMS: To explore the ability of the ACEF score to predict the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients undergoing coronary angiography with or without percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS: A total of 706 patients undergoing coronary angiographyâ±âpercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between March 2011 and October 2011 were analyzed. CIN using different definitions was termed as CINnarrow (rise in serum creatinine ≥0.5âmg/dl) and CINbroad (rise in serum creatinine ≥0.5âmg/dl and/or ≥25% increase in baseline serum creatinine). RESULTS: The mean ACEF score was 1.5â±â0.6. Overall incidences of CINnarrow and CINbroad were 5.5% and 13.6%, respectively. There was a significant gradient in the incidence of CINnarrow (2.9%, 3.9%, 10.6% in the I, II, and III tertiles, respectively, Pâ<â0.001) and CINbroad (9.1%, 14.2%, 17.9% in the I, II, and III tertiles, respectively, Pâ=â0.021) across increasing ACEF tertiles. The ACEF score was independently associated with the risk of CINnarrow (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.0-2.7; Pâ=â0.047). Discrimination was more satisfactory when using the ACEF as a predictor of CINnarrow (c-statistic 0.71, 95% 0.63-0.79). CONCLUSION: The ACEF score is an independent and potentially useful predictor of CIN defined as rise in serum creatinine ≥0.5âmg/dl.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the influence of patients' gender on the outcomes of percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (PMVR) using the MitraClip system. BACKGROUND: Although gender-related differences have been extensively documented in patients who undergo surgery for moderate-to-severe (3+) and severe (4+) mitral regurgitation (MR), studies assessing whether these differences exist after PMVR are lacking. METHODS: Clinical and echocardiographic data through 12-month follow up from 171 consecutive patients whom underwent MitraClip implantation and were dichotomized by the gender (106 males and 65 females) were obtained. The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of major adverse events at 30 days and the primary efficacy endpoint was freedom from death, surgery for mitral valve dysfunction, or grade≥3+ MR at 12-month follow up. RESULTS: The primary safety endpoint was observed in four males (3.8%) and four females (6.2%) (P=0.358). Remarkable reduction in MR postprocedure was revealed in both groups, and these results were mostly sustained. Furthermore, left ventricle reverse remodeling and New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class improvement were revealed in both groups, but females tended to demonstrate worse results over time (P=0.083). The primary efficacy endpoint obtained by Kaplan-Meier estimates was observed in 76.3 and 70.2%, respectively (log rank P=0.231). CONCLUSIONS: MitraClip implantation in patients with 3+ and 4+ MR is safe and efficacious until mid-term follow up, regardless of patients' gender. Despite improvement in NYHA functional class in both groups, female gender demonstrated a trend toward poorer results. Further validation of our findings is warranted.

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to compare, in high-risk patients with 3+ to 4+ mitral regurgitation (MR) dichotomized by baseline echocardiographic features, acute, 30-day, and 12-month outcomes following percutaneous mitral valve repair using the MitraClip. BACKGROUND: The feasibility and mid-term outcomes after MitraClip implantation in patients with echocardiographic features different from the EVEREST (Endovascular Valve Edge-to-Edge Repair) I and II trials have been scarcely studied. METHODS: Clinical and echocardiographic outcomes through 12-month follow-up of consecutive patients who underwent MitraClip implantation were obtained from an ongoing prospective registry. Two different groups, divided according to baseline echocardiographic criteria (investigational group [EVERESTOFF] and control group [EVERESTON]), were compared. RESULTS: Seventy-eight patients were included in EVERESTOFF and 93 patients in EVERESTON groups. Important and comparable acute reductions in MR and no clip-related complications were revealed. The primary safety endpoint at 30 days was comparable between groups (2.6% vs. 6.5%, respectively, p = 0.204); in addition, MR reduction was mostly sustained, whereas equivalent improvement in New York Heart Association functional class were demonstrated. Kaplan-Meier freedom from death, surgery for mitral valve dysfunction, or grade ≥3+ MR at 12 months was demonstrated in 71.4% and 76.2%, respectively, in the EVERESTOFF and EVERESTON groups (log rank p = 0.378). Significant improvements in ejection fraction and reduction in left ventricle volumes were demonstrated in both groups over time, but the baseline between-group differences were sustained. CONCLUSIONS: MitraClip implantation in patients with expanded baseline echocardiographic features, compared with the control group, was associated with similar rates of safety and efficacy through 12-month follow-up. Further validation of our findings is warranted.

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of baseline tricuspid regurgitation (TR) on the outcomes after percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) with the MitraClip system. METHODS AND RESULTS: Data from 146 consecutive patients with functional mitral regurgitation (MR) were obtained. Two different groups, dichotomized according to the degree of pre-procedural TR (moderate/severe, n = 47 and none/mild, n = 99), had their clinical and echocardiographic outcomes through 12-month compared. At 30-day, the primary safety endpoint was significantly higher in moderate/severe TR compared with none/mild TR (10.6 vs. 2.0%, P = 0.035). Marked reduction in MR grades observed post-procedure were maintained through 12 months. Although NYHA functional class significantly improved in both groups compared with baseline, it was impaired in moderate/severe TR compared with the none/mild TR group (NYHA > II at 30 day: 33.3 vs. 9.2%, P < 0.001; at 1 year: 38.5 vs. 12.3%, respectively, P = 0.006). Left ventricle reverse remodelling and ejection fraction improvement were revealed in both groups. The primary efficacy endpoint at 12-month determined by freedom from death, surgery for mitral valve dysfunction, or grade ≥ 3+ MR was comparable between groups, but combined death and re-hospitalization for heart failure rates were higher in the moderate/severe TR group. Multivariable Cox regression analysis demonstrated that baseline moderate/severe TR and chronic kidney disease were independent predictors of this combined endpoint. CONCLUSIONS: Although PMVR with MitraClip led to improvement in MR, TR, and NYHA functional class in patients with baseline moderate/severe TR, the primary safety endpoint at 30-day was impaired, while moderate/severe TR independently predicted death and re-hospitalization for heart failure at 12-month.

OBJECTIVES: Whether predicting the risk of early serum creatinine rise using the ratio of the volume of contrast media administered to the estimated creatinine clearance (V/CrCl) is applicable to the broader definition of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) (≥0.5 mg/dL absolute and/or 25% relative increase from baseline serum creatinine) is unknown. BACKGROUND: A V/CrCl ≥4 has been proven to predict the risk of ≥0.5 mg/dL postprocedural absolute rise in serum creatinine. METHODS: A total of 722 patients undergoing coronary angiography ± percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between March 2011 and October 2011 with paired serum creatinine determinations at preprocedure and within 72-hr postprocedure were analyzed. The V/CrCl ratio was calculated by dividing the volume of contrast received by the patient's creatinine clearance. CIN using different definitions was termed as CINnarrow (rise in serum creatinine ≥0.5 mg/dL) and CINbroad (rise in serum creatinine ≥0.5 mg/dL and/or ≥25% increase in baseline serum creatinine). RESULTS: The mean age was 66 ± 11 years and the mean baseline serum creatinine was 1.1 ± 0.8 mg/dL. Patients with V/CrCl ≥4 were significantly older and more frequently underwent ad hoc PCI compared with those with V/CrCl <4. CINnarrow and CINbroad were observed in 13 versus 3% (P < 0.001) and 23 versus 11% (P < 0.001) of patients with or without V/CrCl ≥4, respectively. After statistical adjustment, a V/CrCl ratio ≥4 remained significantly associated with the risk of both CINnarrow [adjusted OR 3.5, 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) 1.7-7.3; P < 0.001] and CINbroad (adjusted OR 2.5, 95% 1.6-3.9; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: A volume-to-creatinine clearance ratio ≥4 significantly predicts the risk of early postprocedural rise in serum creatinine regardless of the CIN definition adopted.

The aim of the present study was to externally validate the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II (ESII) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to compare its performance with that of its previously released versions, named additive (addES) and logistic EuroSCORE (logES). A total of 537 patients undergoing PCI were analyzed by different measurements of discrimination, calibration, and global accuracy. A significant gradient in all-cause mortality was seen with all the models at 30 days, 1 year, and 5 years, with the exception of the ESII at 30 days. The ESII had the lowest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve at all time points compared with its previous version, being 0.83 (vs 0.90 for both addES and logES) at 30 days, 0.75 (vs 0.82 for both addES and logES) at 1 year, and 0.69 (vs 0.77 for addES and 0.76 for logES) at 5 years. However, the ESII displayed a better calibration than the logES at 30 days, whereas both scores were miscalibrated at 1 and 5 years. The Brier score displayed similar global accuracy between the ESII and logES. In conclusion, the ESII is better calibrated than the logES at 30 days but does not represent a step forward in discrimination and global accuracy compared with its previous versions for predicting early- and long-term mortality of patients undergoing PCI.

The aim of this study was to report on the 30-day and 1-year outcomes of percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip technique in patients with grade ≥3+ mitral regurgitation (MR) at high risk for conventional surgical therapy enrolled in the prospective Getting Reduction of Mitral Insufficiency by Percutaneous Clip Implantation (GRASP) registry. Acute device success was defined as residual MR ≤2+ after clip implantation. The primary safety end point was the rate of major adverse events at 30 days. The primary efficacy end point was freedom from death, surgery for mitral valve dysfunction, or grade ≥3+ MR at 30 days and 1 year. A total of 117 patients were treated. Eighty-nine patients (76%) presented with functional MR and 28 patients (24%) with organic MR. Acute device success was observed in all patients. Device implantation time significantly diminished with experience and varied significantly between cases with 1 versus ≥2 clips. No procedural mortality was recorded. Major adverse events occurred in 4 patients at 30 days (4.3%). Deterioration to MR ≥3+ was recorded in 25% of patients with degenerative MR and 7% of those with functional MR at 1 year. No surgery for mitral valve dysfunction occurred within 1 year. Freedom from death, surgery for mitral valve dysfunction, or grade ≥3+ MR was 96.4% and 75.8% at 30 days and 1 year, respectively. No significant differences were noted in the primary efficacy end point between patients with degenerative MR and those with functional MR. In conclusion, percutaneous mitral valve repair with the MitraClip technique was shown to be safe and reasonably effective in 117 patients from a real-world setting.

OBJECTIVES: We investigated the prognostic accuracy of a standardized quantification of incomplete revascularization after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) named residual SYNTAX score (rSS). BACKGROUND: Prognostic implications of coronary lesions left untreated after ULMCA PCI are confounded by the lack of a uniform definition of incomplete revascularization. METHODS: Baseline SYNTAX score (bSS), rSS, and the difference between bSS and rSS (ΔSS ) were assessed in predicting the risk of 2-year cardiac mortality of 400 patients undergoing ULMCA PCI. RESULTS: The rSS and bSS showed comparable discrimination (rSS area under the curve [AUC] 0.72, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.61-0.83; bSS AUC 0.73, 95% CI 0.62-0.84). Hosmer-Lemeshow statistics were 0.60 for rSS (P = 0.44) and 2.45 (P = 0.12) for bSS, reflecting better calibration ability of the rSS. The ΔSS provided the worst discrimination and calibration characteristics (AUC 0.55; 95% CI 0.44-0.66; Hosmer-Lemeshow statistic 3.13, P = 0.08). The rSS was independently associated with the 2-year adjusted-risk of cardiac mortality (hazard ratio 1.07, 95% CI 1.03-1.12, P = 0.001). The risk information from both the rSS and bSS slightly improved the discrimination ability compared with risk information from each single risk assessment (AUC 0.74, 95% CI 0.62-0.86) with a net reclassification improvement of +14.2% and +13.6% over rSS and bSS alone, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The rSS carries a prognostic value as independent predictor of 2-year cardiac mortality. Compared with a single assessment of the SYNTAX score, information coming from repeat assessment of the angiographic risk may improve the ability to discriminate and reclassify patients undergoing ULMCA PCI.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study was to appraise the comparative ability of different ACEF models incorporating glomerular filtration rate or creatinine clearance estimated by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease [ACEFMDRD] or Cokcroft-Gault [ACEFCG] equations, respectively, over the original ACEF score (ACEFSrCr) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: A total of 537 patients were analyzed by different measures of discrimination, calibration and net reclassification improvement (NRI). RESULTS: A significant gradient in all-cause mortality was consistently seen with all the models at 30 days, 1 year and 5 years. The comparison of the three models showed that the best balance in terms of discrimination and calibration for all-cause mortality was offered by the ACEFCG at 30 days, the ACEFMDRD at 1 year and similarly by the ACEFCG and ACEFMDRD at 5 years. At 30 days, the NRI was +32.9% for ACEFMDRD over ACEFSrCr and +16% for ACEFCG over ACEFSrCr. At 1 year, the NRI was 13.8% for ACEFMDRD over ACEFSrCr and -7.8% for ACEFCG over ACEFSrCr. At 5 years, the NRI was +7.7% for both the ACEFMDRD and the ACEFCG over the ACEFSrCr. CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing PCI, the ACEF score is associated with satisfactory early-, mid- and long-term discrimination regardless of the definition of renal function. However, incorporating glomerular filtration rate or creatinine clearance by the MDRD or CG formulas in the ACEF score yields superior calibration compared with the original SrCr-based equation, with the ACEFMDRD displaying superior reclassification ability over the ACEFCG and ACEFSrCr at 30 days and 1 year.

Uncertainty surrounds the optimal revascularization strategy for patients with left main coronary artery disease presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACSs), and adequately sized specific comparisons of percutaneous and surgical revascularization in this scenario are lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of 1-year major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in patients with left main coronary artery disease and ACS treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and drug-eluting stent implantation or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). A total of 583 patients were included. At 1 year, MACEs were significantly higher in patients treated with PCI (n = 222) compared to those treated with CABG (n = 361, 14.4% vs 5.3%, p <0.001), driven by a higher rate of target lesion revascularization (8.1% vs 1.7%, p = 0.001). This finding was consistent after statistical adjustment for MACEs (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 2.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.2 to 5.9, p = 0.01) and target lesion revascularization (adjusted HR 8.0, 95% CI 2.2 to 28.7, p = 0.001). No statistically significant differences between PCI and CABG were noted for death (adjusted HR 1.1, 95% CI 0.4 to 3.0, p = 0.81) and myocardial infarction (adjusted HR 4.8, 95% CI 0.3 to 68.6, p = 0.25). No interaction between clinical presentation (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction or unstable angina/non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction) and treatment (PCI or CABG) was observed (p for interaction = 0.68). In conclusion, in patients with left main coronary artery disease and ACS, PCI is associated with similar safety compared to CABG but higher risk of MACEs driven by increased risk of repeat revascularization.
