Abstract

Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent comorbidity among patients with severe mitral regurgitation (MR). Direct current (DC) cardioversion is one of the strategies for rhythm control. However, the safety and feasibility of immediate DC cardioversion after MitraClip are not elucidated. Methods and Results In this study, patients with symptomatic severe MR who underwent MitraClip were included. After fixing the MR, synchronized DC cardioversion was attempted for those with AF. A total of consecutive 60 patients, 36 subjects (60%), comorbid with AF. DC cardioversion was performed in 30 patients (mean age of 76.0 +/- 9.3 years), and the successful conversion was achieved in 15 patients (50%). There was no any adverse event related to the cardioversion. Subjects with sustained conversion to SR experienced significant improvement in 6MWT (failed: 285 +/- 110-308 +/- 135 m,P = .278; successful: 269 +/- 109 m-328 +/- 78,P = .047) and reduction in NT-proBNP level (failed: 4411 +/- 7401-3296 +/- 4299 ng/mL,P = .217; successful: 4094 +/- 2735-2353 +/- 2856 ng/mL,P = .026) at 1 month. Conclusions Direct current cardioversion seemed to be safe and feasible immediately after the transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repairs. Subjects who maintain SR experienced better functional improvement.

Abstract

Background: Spirometric abnormalities have been related to incident heart failure in general population, who generally have preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). We aimed to investigate the association between spirometric indices, cardiac functions and clinical outcomes., Methods: Subjects presenting with exertional dyspnoea and received spirometry and echocardiography were eligible for this study. Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1)/FVC ratio were measured to define the spirometry patterns: normal (FEV1/FVC ≥ 70%, FVC ≥ 80%), obstructive (FEV1/FVC < 70%, FVC ≥ 80%), restrictive pattern (FEV1/FVC ≥ 70%, FVC < 80%) and mixed (FEV1/FVC < 70%, FVC < 80%). The diastolic dysfunction index (DDi) was the counts of the indicators, including septal e' velocity <7 cm/s, septal E/e' > 15, pulmonary artery systolic pressure > 35 mmHg and left atrial dimension >40 mm., Results: Among a total of 8669 participants (65.8 ± 16.3 years, 56% men), 3739 (43.1%), 829 (9.6%), 3050 (35.2%) and 1051 (12.1%) had normal, obstructive, restrictive and mixed spirometry pattern, respectively. Subjects with restrictive or mixed spirometry pattern had higher DDi and worse long-term survival than those with obstructive or normal ventilation. FVC but not FEV1/FVC was predictive of 5-year mortality, independent of age, sex, renal function, LVEF, DDi, body mass index, and comorbidities (hazard ratio, 95% confidence intervals: .981, .977-.985). Furthermore, there was an inverse nonlinear relationship between FVC and DDi, suggesting the declined FVC may mediate 43% of the prognostic hazard of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction., Conclusions: The restrictive spirometry pattern or the declined FVC was associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, which aggravated the long-term mortality in the ambulatory dyspnoeic subjects., (© 2023 Stichting European Society for Clinical Investigation Journal Foundation.
