Abstract

Background Cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular comorbidities are common in heart failure (HF) patients and impact disease severity and prognosis. Select modern implantable defibrillators (ICDs) are equipped with multisensor algorithms for HF monitoring. The HeartLogic index combines multiple ICD-based sensor data (heart rate, heart sounds, thoracic impedance, respiration, activity), and the associated alert has proved to be a sensitive and timely predictor of impending HF decompensation in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D) patients The algorithm was developed using data from CRT-D patients; the performance in non-CRT ICD patients and the impact of selected comorbidities on performance requires further study. Methods The HeartLogic feature was activated in 568 ICD patients (410 with CRT) from 26 centers. The median follow-up was 25 months [25th–75th percentile: 15–35]. Results During follow-up, 97 hospitalizations were reported (53 cardiovascular) and 55 patients died. We recorded 1200 HeartLogic alerts (0.71 alerts/patient-year) in 370 patients. Overall, the time IN the alert state was 13% of the total observation period. The rate of cardiovascular hospitalizations or death was 0.48/patient-year (95% CI: 0.37–0.60) with the HeartLogic IN alert state and 0.04/patient-year (95% CI: 0.03–0.05) OUT of alert state, with an incidence rate ratio of 13.35 (95% CI: 8.83–20.51, p13% was associated with the occurrence of the combined endpoint of cardiovascular hospitalization or death (HR: 2.54, 95% CI: 1.61–4.01, p Conclusions The burden of HeartLogic alerts appears similar between CRT and non-CRT patients, while patients with AF and CKD seem more exposed to alerts. Nonetheless, the ability of the HeartLogic algorithm to identify patients during periods of significantly increased risk of clinical events is confirmed regardless of the type of device, the presence of AF, or CKD.

Abstract

Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular comorbidities are common in heart failure (HF) patients and determine disease severity and prognosis. Select modern implantable defibrillators (ICDs) are equipped with multisensor algorithms for HF monitoring. The HeartLogic index combines multiple ICD-based sensor data (heart rate, heart sounds, thoracic impedance, respiration, activity), and the associated alert has proved to be a sensitive and timely predictor of impending HF decompensation in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) patients. Purpose This analysis aims to investigate the performance of the algorithm in non-CRT patients, as well as in relation to the presence of comorbidities. Methods The HeartLogic feature was activated in 568 ICD patients (410 with CRT) from 26 centers. The median follow-up was 25 months [25th–75th percentile: 15-35]. Results We recorded 1200 HeartLogic alerts (0.71 alerts per patient-year) in 370 patients. Among patient characteristics, atrial fibrillation (AF) at implantation (HR: 1.62, 95%CI: 1.27-2.07, p Conclusions The burden of HeartLogic alerts appears similar between CRT and non-CRT patients, while patients with AF and CKD seem more exposed to alerts. ICD-measured thoracic impedance is sensitive to the fluid overload that characterizes kidney disease, as well as the first and third heart sound amplitudes seem sensitive to the reduced ventricular efficiency during AF. Nonetheless, ICD sensors seem to equally contribute to the HeartLogic alerts in all patient subgroups.

Abstract

Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main funding source(s): REGIONE PUGLIA Introduction The demographic trend evolution and the modification of health needs highlight the requirement for a novel organization of the healthcare system. Telemedicine allows the assistance of patients remotely, breaking down geographical barriers. Purpose The aim of the present study was to assess the validity of a novel wearable system to monitor EKG, heart rate and pulse oximetry in patients with chronic cardiac diseases. The equippement included a T-shirt with electrodes and a band with a photopletimosgraphic sensor, connected to a tiny dock station (Figure 1, panel A). Methods We enrolled 38 patients admitted to the coronary care unit at our hospital in Italy, 71% male, mean age 67 years, mean EF 45%. The main characteristics of the sample are listed in Table 1. The system was entirely automatic. Health parameters recording started as soon as patients wore T-shirt and band. Data were transmitted by Bluetooth technology to an external control unit. Recordings could be stored or could be checked in real time from a control room. Data were compared to measurements obtained by traditional monitoring system (telemetry). Results The devices tested in this study showed a satisfying level of reliability in monitoring heart rate, pulse oximetry, QT interval, QRS complex duration, and onset of arrhythmic events. Indeed, the difference between traditional monitoring system and the new wearable equipment in acquiring health parameters was not statistically significant (Figure 1, panel B). However, alerts produced by arrhythmias different from atrial fibrillation were not completely reliable. Conclusions The most important aspect of this new equipment was the need of minimal patient’s interaction. This system was not inferior to traditional telemetry in recording health parameters.

Abstract

Background Clinicians need to identify patients with amyloid cardiomyopathy (AC) at an early stage, due to the availability of disease–modifying therapies. Some echocardiographic findings may rise the suspicion of AC, also in patients with mild or no symptoms, addressing second level diagnostic tests. Aim To investigate the prevalence of AC in consecutive patients ≥55 years undergoing clinically indicated, routine transthoracic echocardiogram in Italy and presenting echocardiographic signs suggestive of AC. Methods This is a prospective multicentric study conducted in Italy. It comprises two phases: 1) a recording phase consisting in a national survey on prevalence of possible echocardiographic red flags of AC in consecutive unselected patients ≥55 years undergoing routine echocardiogram (previously published) and 2) an AC diagnostic phase involving a diagnostic work–up for AC to investigate AC prevalence among patients with at least one echocardiographic red flag (herein presented). Patients that in Phase 1 presented an “AC suggestive” echocardiogram (i.e., at least one red flag of AC in hypertrophic, non–dilated left ventricles with preserved ejection fraction) underwent clinical evaluation, blood and urine tests and scintigraphy with bone tracer. Diagnosis of transthyretin related–AC (ATTR–AC) was made in presence of grade 2–3 Perugini uptake at scintigraphy and absence of monoclonal protein. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (#NCT04738266). Results Of the 5315 screened echocardiograms, 381 exams (7.2%) were classified as “AC suggestive” and proceeded to Phase 2. 217 patients completed Phase 2 investigations. Main reasons for the 164 non–entering patients into Phase 2 were death (n = 49) and refusal to participate (n = 66). A final diagnosis of AC was made in 62 patients with an estimated prevalence of 28,6% (95% CI: 22,5%–34,7%). ATTR–AC was diagnosed in 51 and AL–AC in 11 patients, ascertaining a prevalence of 23,5% (95% CI: 17,8%–29,2%) and 5,1% (95% CI: 2,2%–8,0%), respectively. Conclusion Among a cohort of consecutive unselected patients ≥55 years with echocardiographic findings suggestive of AC, the prevalence of AC ranged from 23% up to 35%. Although ATTR–AC was predominant, AL–AC was diagnosed in a significant number of cases. Echocardiography has a fundamental role in screening patients, raising the suspicion of disease and orienting diagnostic work–up for AC.

Abstract

Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. INTRODUCTION acute myocarditis (aMY) is characterized by the presence of edema and myocardial scar detected by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Aim of our study is to investigate the diagnostic value of two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography and Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) feature tracking (FT) in detecting edema and myocardial scar in aMY. METHODS all consecutive patients with clinically suspected aMY were enrolled in our study. Inclusion criteria were: 1) new ECG abnormalities 2) myocardial cytolysis markers and 3) absence of angiographically detectable coronary artery disease. Exclusion criteria included poor cine image quality caused by respiratory motion and arrhythmia. All patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac function was evaluated by a comprehensive assessment of LV function, including 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D STE). CMR was performed in all patients in a 3T scanner. Extension of edema and myocardial scar were respectively evaluated on T2 mapping and on Late Gadolinium Enhancement sequences considering numbers of segments involved according to 17-segment model (AHA). FT analysis of the left ventricle (LV) was performed using the Tissue Tracking Module to obtain LV strain data. RESULTS 52 patients were included in the study, mean age was 36± 17 years, three patients were female (6%). Mean LVEF was 56,2 ± 7,2 % and mean end diastolic volume index (EDVi) was 62,52 ± 19,02 ml/m2. 10 patients (19,2%) had impaired EF with mean values of 44,6 ± 6,15%. aMY was confirmed in all patients with the presence of myocardial edema and subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). Inferior segments were involved in 28 patients (53,8%), lateral segment in 19 patients (36,5%), septal segments in 7 patients (13,5%) and anterior segments in 15 patients (28,8%). 2D STE LV GLS was -16.41± 5,47% while CMR-FT LV GLS was -19,07 ± 4,65%, showing a good agreement between the two methods (r = 0,5; p < 0,001). The univariate analysis showed a significant correlation between 2D STE LV GLS and CMR-FT LV GLS with the extension of myocardial edema assessed by CMR (r= 0,43; p= 0,002 and r = 0.47; p = 0,002 respectively). The univariate analysis did not show a significant correlation between 2D STE LV and the extension of myocardial scar assessed by CMR (r= 0.2; p= 0.155) while a significant correlation was found between CMR-FT LV GLS and myocardial scar (r = 0.4; p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS in patients with aMY, good correlation was found between CMR-FT and 2D STE in the evaluation of GLS. 2D STE LV GLS and CMR-FT LV GLS proved to have a good correlation with the extension of myocardial edema, while only CMR-FT LV GLS proved to be associated with myocardial scar extension.

Abstract

Aims Atrial overdrive pacing algorithms increase Atrial Pacing Percentage (APP) to reduce Atrial Tachyarrhythmia (AT) recurrences in patients with Brady-Tachy Syndrome (BTS). This study aimed to compare AT burden and APP in BTS patients treated with conventional DDDR pacing, DDD+ overdrive or Closed-Loop Stimulation (CLS). Methods and results One hundred and forty-nine BTS patients were included (72 male, mean age 74±9), who received a dual chamber pacemaker (Philos DR or Inos 2+CLS, Biotronik GmbH, Berlin, Germany) programmed in DDD at 70min−1. At 1-month follow-up, DDDR, DDD+ or CLS algorithms were activated according to randomization. Follow-up visits for data collection were performed at 4 and 7 months. Non parametric statistical tests (Kruskal–Wallis H-test, Dunn test, Spearman coefficient) were used to analyse not-normally-distributed samples. At 7 months, AT burden was significantly lower in CLS group (20.3±63.1min/day, P

Abstract

Background The present analysis aimed to estimate the penetration of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on the basis of the prevalence and incidence of eligible patients in selected European countries and in Israel. Methods and Results The following countries were considered: Italy, Slovakia, Greece, Israel, Slovenia, Serbia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, and the Russian Federation. CRT penetration was defined as the number of patients treated with CRT (CRT patients) divided by the prevalence of patients eligible for CRT. The number of CRT patients was estimated as the sum of CRT implantations in the last 5 years, the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) White Book being used as the source. The prevalence of CRT indications was derived from the literature by applying three epidemiologic models, a synthesis of which indicates that 10% of heart failure (HF) patients are candidates for CRT. HF prevalence was considered to range from 1% to 2% of the general population, resulting in an estimated range of prevalence of CRT indication between 1000 and 2000 patients per million inhabitants. Similarly, the annual incidence of CRT indication, representing the potential target population once CRT has fully penetrated, was estimated as between 100 and 200 individuals per million. The results showed the best CRT penetration in Italy (47–93%), while in some countries it was less than 5% (Romania, Russian Federation, and Ukraine). Conclusion CRT penetration differs markedly among the countries analyzed. The main barriers are the lack of reimbursement for the procedure and insufficient awareness of guidelines by the referring physicians.
