Abstract

Background: Clinical profiles based on congestion and perfusion are fundamental to the management of patients with heart failure (HF), but the standard assessment has been underutilized in clinical practice, due in part to its complexity. This study investigated whether congestion and perfusion status by physical examination, such as high jugular venous pressure (JVP) and peripheral cold sensation, would be informative in this context.

Methods: This prospective study consisted of 257 patients who were admitted for the treatment of HF. A body-to-peripheral temperature gradient and the presence or absence of peripheral cold sensation were assessed before discharge. JVP was considered high if visible pulsation of the internal jugular vein was observed in the seated position at rest or with inspiration, and categorized as wet. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause death and hospitalization for worsening HF.

Results: A total of 132 patients (51.3%) were classified as cold on the peripheral sensation, with a higher temperature gradient (9.0 ± 1.8ºC) than patients without peripheral cold sensation (4.8 ± 1.7ºC, p <0.01). On JVP assessment, 54 patients (21.0%) were classified as wet. During a mean follow-up period of 446 ± 280 days, 109 patients experienced a primary outcome event. The presence of peripheral cold sensation and wet condition were associated with a higher incidence of the primary outcome (hazard ratio, 1.70 and 1.62; 95% confidence interval, 1.14 to 2.52 and 1.04 to 2.52; both p <0.01, respectively). The status of congestion and perfusion based on the standard classification and our simple physical method using peripheral sensation and JVP assessment showed similar trends in the incidence of the primary outcome at one year.

Conclusions: Physical assessment of congestion and perfusion status based on the presence or absence of peripheral cold sensation and wet condition by JVP assessment was practical and useful for the risk stratification of patients with HF.

心力衰竭患者充血和灌注状态的物理评估。
背景:基于充血和灌注的临床概况是心力衰竭(HF)患者管理的基础,但标准评估在临床实践中未得到充分利用,部分原因是其复杂性。本研究调查了身体检查的充血和灌注状态,如高颈静脉压(JVP)和外周冷感觉,是否会在这种情况下提供信息。方法:这项前瞻性研究包括257例接受心衰治疗的患者。出院前评估体外周温度梯度和有无外周冷感觉。如果在坐位或吸气时观察到颈内静脉的明显搏动,则认为JVP高,并归类为湿性。主要结局是全因死亡和心衰恶化住院的综合结果。结果:132例(51.3%)患者外周感觉为冷,其温度梯度(9.0±1.8ºC)高于无外周冷感觉患者(4.8±1.7ºC)。结论:JVP评估基于有无外周冷感觉和湿状态的充血和灌注状态的物理评估对于HF患者的风险分层是实用和有用的。

期刊介绍: ''Cardiology'' features first reports on original clinical, preclinical and fundamental research as well as ''Novel Insights from Clinical Experience'' and topical comprehensive reviews in selected areas of cardiovascular disease. ''Editorial Comments'' provide a critical but positive evaluation of a recent article. Papers not only describe but offer critical appraisals of new developments in non-invasive and invasive diagnostic methods and in pharmacologic, nutritional and mechanical/surgical therapies. Readers are thus kept informed of current strategies in the prevention, recognition and treatment of heart disease. Special sections in a variety of subspecialty areas reinforce the journal''s value as a complete record of recent progress for all cardiologists, internists, cardiac surgeons, clinical physiologists, pharmacologists and professionals in other areas of medicine interested in current activity in cardiovascular diseases.
