BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) output is a predictor of adverse outcome in patients with heart failure. It can be evaluated using a per-beat approach, measuring stroke volume index (SVI), or a per-minute approach, calculating cardiac index (CI). However, the prognostic value of these two approaches has never been compared. METHODS A single-center retrospective observational study was conducted in 396 hospitalized patients who underwent echocardiography for suspected heart failure. In a group of 138 consecutive patients, SVI and CI cutoff values of 30 mL/m2 and 2.3 L/min/m2, respectively, were derived to separate normal from low LV forward flow conditions. Subsequently, the association of these values with all-cause mortality was compared in a group of 258 consecutive patients. Median follow-up duration was 2.6 years (interquartile range: 2-3.2 years). RESULTS After adjustment for other outcome predictors, SVI <30 mL/m2 was independently associated with all-cause mortality with a hazard ratio of 2.67 (95% confidence interval, 1.74-4.1; P < .001), whereas CI was not. Additionally, three different subgroups of SVI (<30, 30-35, and >35 mL/m2) and CI (<1.8, 1.8-2.2, and ≥2.3 L/min/m2) were compared, and no incremental benefit of this risk stratification model was observed. CONCLUSIONS Low LV output on the basis of a per-beat definition (SVI <30 mL/m2) is strongly associated with all-cause mortality in patients hospitalized with heart failure. A per-minute approach seems to add no further information to risk stratification. These findings may have implications for selecting the LV output index when evaluating prognosis in patients with heart failure.

超声心动图评估心力衰竭患者左心室输出:每搏还是每分钟?

背景技术左心室(LV)输出是心力衰竭患者不良结局的预测指标。可以使用每搏方法,测量中风量指数(SVI)或每分钟方法,计算心脏指数(CI)对其进行评估。然而,这两种方法的预后价值从未被比较过。方法对396名因可疑心力衰竭接受超声心动图检查的住院患者进行了单中心回顾性观察研究。在一组138名连续患者中,分别得出SVI和CI截断值分别为30 mL / m2和2.3 L / min / m2,以将正常值与低LV前向流量条件区分开。随后,在一组258位连续患者中比较了这些值与全因死亡率的关联。中位随访时间为2.6年(四分位间距:2-3。2年)。结果在调整了其他结局指标后,SVI <30 mL / m2与全因死亡率独立相关,危险比为2.67(95%置信区间为1.74-4.1; P <.001),而CI则没有。此外,比较了SVI(<30、30-35和> 35 mL / m2)和CI(<1.8、1.8-2.2和≥2.3L / min / m2)的三个不同亚组,但没有增加的益处观察风险分层模型。结论根据每次搏动定义(SVI <30 mL / m2)得出的低LV输出量与心力衰竭住院的全因死亡率密切相关。每分钟的方法似乎没有为风险分层增加更多信息。这些发现可能对评估心力衰竭患者的预后时选择左室输出指数有影响。结果在调整了其他结局指标后,SVI <30 mL / m2与全因死亡率独立相关,危险比为2.67(95%置信区间为1.74-4.1; P <.001),而CI则没有。此外,比较了SVI(<30、30-35和> 35 mL / m2)和CI(<1.8、1.8-2.2和≥2.3L / min / m2)的三个不同亚组,但没有增加的益处观察风险分层模型。结论根据每次搏动定义(SVI <30 mL / m2)得出的低LV输出量与心力衰竭住院的全因死亡率密切相关。每分钟的方法似乎没有为风险分层增加更多信息。这些发现可能对评估心力衰竭患者的预后时选择左室输出指数有影响。结果在调整了其他结局指标后,SVI <30 mL / m2与全因死亡率独立相关,危险比为2.67(95%置信区间为1.74-4.1; P <.001),而CI则没有。此外,比较了SVI(<30、30-35和> 35 mL / m2)和CI(<1.8、1.8-2.2和≥2.3L / min / m2)的三个不同亚组,但没有增加的益处观察风险分层模型。结论根据每次搏动定义(SVI <30 mL / m2)得出的低LV输出量与心力衰竭住院的全因死亡率密切相关。每分钟的方法似乎没有为风险分层增加更多信息。这些发现可能对评估心力衰竭患者的预后时选择左室输出指数有影响。
