Abstract
Background
Atrial fibrillation has been linked with poor outcomes in patients with cardiac amyloidosis. We evaluate the in-hospital outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation and concomitant cardiac amyloidosis with and without catheter ablation.
Methods
The National Inpatient Sample databases (2016 to 2021) were queried to identify patients admitted with atrial fibrillation and concomitant cardiac amyloidosis using ICD 10 codes. The study population aged >18 years was divided into two cohorts; ablation (AB) vs. no ablation (NAB). Multivariate logistic regression model adjusting for baseline characteristics and comorbidities. The primary outcome was all-cause in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were acute heart failure, cardiogenic shock, ventricular fibrillation, major bleeding, stroke, length of stay, and hospitalization cost.
Results
73,160 patients were identified. 595(0.8 %) underwent ablation and 72,656 (99.2 %) did not. Both NAB and AB patients were predominantly white (69.6 % and 60.3 %) respectively. AB patients were younger with median age [74 years (IQR 66-80) vs. 78 years (IQR 71-84), p < 0.01], compared with NAB patients. AB patients were more likely to have heart failure (76.5 % vs. 65.3 %, p = 0.04), and have a family history of CAD (11.1 % vs. 4.8 %, p = 0.03). Contrarily, NAB patients were more likely to have dementia (11.5 % vs. 2.5 %, p = 0.01). After adjusting for baseline characteristics and comorbidity, there was no difference in all-cause mortality (OR 0.3, CI 0.08-1.35, p = 0.12), stroke (OR 1.1, CI 0.4-2.8, p = 0.87), or major bleeding (OR 1.4, CI 0.7-2.6, p = 0.37). Undergoing ablation was associated with higher odds of acute heart failure (OR 1.9, CI 1.1-3.3, p<0.01). After adjusting for inflation using the consumer price index, adjusted total cost of hospitalization was for higher AB patients was compared to NAB patients ($41,499.22 vs. $13,085.11) with a significantly longer length of stay among AB patients (7 days vs. 5days, p < 0.01).
Conclusion
Atrial fibrillation and concomitant cardiac amyloidosis in patients undergoing catheter ablation are associated with an increased risk of acute heart failure, higher cost, and a longer length of stay.
期刊介绍:
Under the editorial leadership of noted cardiologist Dr. Hector O. Ventura, Current Problems in Cardiology provides focused, comprehensive coverage of important clinical topics in cardiology. Each monthly issues, addresses a selected clinical problem or condition, including pathophysiology, invasive and noninvasive diagnosis, drug therapy, surgical management, and rehabilitation; or explores the clinical applications of a diagnostic modality or a particular category of drugs. Critical commentary from the distinguished editorial board accompanies each monograph, providing readers with additional insights. An extensive bibliography in each issue saves hours of library research.
